It's not tech, it's the people who've decided that their need to dominate the market justifies repeatedly harassing those who refuse their unwanted advances until they get the victim to relent, to answer the question in a compromised state, or to slip up. And if the victim is superhumanly steadfast, they take it anyway. When I see UI elements like that, I call the company and its employees rapists, and I'm not wrong.

This just in, a report published by a group of people who would be materially harmed by losing business to the EU building its own technical capacity declared it would be costly and unfeasible to ever abandon them.

Up next after the commercial break, we report on how water is wet and grass grows.

I, in fact, used to work at a grocery store and had to manually change price labels. It takes a lot of time to work through a sheet of labels.

Where are all the stories about all these good cops referring the bad cops to the DA for charges & testifying against them? These should be numerous, considering how many members of law enforcement are out there.

Could be that they are treating it more akin to a base load power plant. For solar or wind, the costs go way up, due to having over provisioning and battery storage. This is a 615 MW plant. Even at a $6 billion investment, that's $10/MW for baseload power, so pretty cheap.

It means Iran has severely limited the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz. It's a hostage situation. No one is winning, but the objective isn't to win in the sense of completely closing the Strait, the objective is to create a sufficiently long period of pain that eventually the US and its allies walk away. Christ almighty, force multiplication is hardly a new concept.

There are plenty of places in North America without coverage because there's so little to cover. The Los Vegas metropolitan area has about three million people. So yes, that would be a place with cell phone coverage. By the same token, coverage in states like Montana, particularly in mountainous areas is spotty because, well, there's not a lot of people.

Are you fucking stupid? Names actually are useful, which is why we propers nouns at all.

Jesus fuck the supporters of Trump really are a pack of morally compromised halfwits.

That was a DDOS Now it's just how international commerce works. I manage an OA platform with 100% human content (cultural heritage images), and we're seeing the same thing: requests from all over the world for every possible iteration of a page. Every other platform like ours has the same problem, and it translates into legitimate users not being able to access our stuff.

I suspect you were just asked to be nice, and through a combination of spectrum OCD and insufficient cognitive therapy, you decided somehow you were being asked to do something wrong.

So you helped elect an ignorant sociopath. Congrats on that. Maybe you should have attended more of those cognitive therapy sessions.

Jesus Fucking Christ. It's 2026, Trump has been putting his boot on the necks of major networks and studios for a year and a half now. I realize you probably fell into a coma in 2016, but ten years later, the free press, regardless of what you think of it, or fair you imagine it is, is under direct assault. Fuck off with the "MSM" bullshit and grow the fuck up.

Yes, sadly, they do not cure mental illness.

Truth Social I'm sure. As hard as it is to believe, there are still people who think Trump is a genius, and still want to "own the Libs".

How are these people not in prison?
