The point is that these are books already being taken out of circulation... these are pallets of unsold books that nobody wanted, otherwise destined for the recycling center. They're just inserting an extra stop at the scanner before going on to the recycling center.

I don't support LLMs destroying lots of things, but the problem part of this is not "destroying books slated to be destroyed".

Brains contain chemical compounds that are used to preserve hides. This has been common technology for literal millennia.

He'll be out of office before anything could come of this... it's purely about positioning himself for the 2028 election cycle (since he lost in the primary for the US Senate seat he'll soon be out of a job). If Marshall issues a press release, it's all about political posturing; it's all he knows how to do. He certainly doesn't know how to prosecute actual crime when presented to him, such as obvious voting fraud by the former chair of the state GOP.

None of that is true. Grow up and learn how to understand and rate journalism. Start with Appling the spj code of ethics to media.
" Anyone who defends that is off the deep end self-deluding and in full on denial of reality. "
So you post a factual incorrect statement then call anyone with facts delusional. JFC, take some actual media course. Like, in a class room.

He's incapably of learning. I don't thing he has learned anything since 1980.

OFFS lease stop lying. You wither didn't read it, or didn't understand it.
Some of us remember when he was alive, and read went o to study him.
If you actually know what you were talking about, you would understand the difference between Marxist communism and socialism.

Liars like you have become tiresome.

No, you did not. Yor just making things up becasue you are likely functionally illiterate, can'[t hold complex thought or idea, and have no clue how to admit you are wrong. I pity you, Because your are embarrassingly wrong.

That's actually not true at all. Please tell me how many American FDR called evil? Literally one of the, if not the most socialist president whose social programs led to American become a technological and industrial power house.

American modern conservatives primary planks are to take rights away from marginalized group; which s fucking evil.

Get over yourself and read some books.

'Lot of money'. Not really. Historical what they do give is pretty divided, depending on the actual issues.

Your kink actual shows it is. The lawsuit is BS, like most Trumps lawsuits. He is trying extort them is get their companies to kiss his ass and not say anything against them. The is SOP for Trump, going back to the 90s.
This is actual censorship by the governemnt.

Some of y'all appear to be missing that this is a PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) station, who might not even have the budget for a dedicated IT person. This was probably picked by someone in the video control room when they got told to clear out the space used for the video tape archives. My local PBS station unfortunately didn't have anything like that, so lost their archives when there was a fire at the station about 15 years ago.

If you're criticizing their spending priorities... did you contribute at the last pledge drive?

The claim isn't that they developed completely independently but from a not-yet-alive common ancestor: "We show that enzymatic metabolism in the universal common ancestor was incomplete, undergoing final assembly independently in the lineages leading to bacteria and archaea." (The science dot org article)

Yeah.

They completely ignore panserpmia.

They just quote Isaac Asimov's writing from almost half a century ago (Europa). Ignores Enceladus, Titan, Venus, Mars; all of which have *BIOSIGNATURES* of a probability curve not too dissimilar to Europa.

They are likely a dilettante. Those folks do not do "prior art" research because they believe in the Auteur Myth.

  "An auteur is a filmmaker whose personal style and thematic focus are so distinctive that they are considered the 'author' of their films, a concept known as the auteur myth."

Real science isn't that. Real science is a rational discipline. The null hypothesis -- know what that means. Prior art -- know what that means. Mental biases -- know those, too; you'll see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear. Science is the discipline of mind that ensures you're not just spewing random nonsense. You verify what you think; that's the discipline.

As Isaac Newton said ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), "nani gigantum humeris insidentes."

Ignore them.

Everything seems obvious once it is explained.

Why do 12-14 steps of algebra, when calculus works in 2?

Obvious. People should know calculus.

Yet they don't.

Define Green's Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- is obvious.

Everything is obvious *IN HINDSIGHT*.

IIRC from the book, it was originally a harmless strain from earth and mutated from exposure to solar radiation.
