No. However there is considerable evidence that Trump requires bribing in some manner before he will do something that other Presidents would do without a bribe because they are the right thing to do for the Country. Whether these particular contracts were only given because of the bribes is impossible to prove since they are indeed contracts that should have been given. But the opinion that they would not have been given without a bribe is a valid one, and Musk at least seems to have held that opinion. Hence the bribes.

While the second post did indeed contain publicly verifiable facts, the claim that they contradict the original claim is disputable at best. All they show is that Musk's Companies were capable of getting contracts and Government loans under Obama and Biden without the need for bribes. They do not show that Musk did not bribe Trump. In some ways this is even more damning for Trump, because the implication is that bribing Trump is necessary even if your Companies are deserving contracts. Or at the very least that Musk believed bribes to be necessary under Trump.

I personally agree with you that it didn't deserve a troll modification. It maybe deserved to be down-modded as irrelevant, although replies pointing out it's irrelevancy were sufficient as long as people weren't modding it up.

Okay, but that's not really helpful if you're looking for something comparable to a firestick but still want to sideload Android apps.

Or just don't fight it and get an NVIDIA Shield. It's a 10x better experience anyway.

The whole Cold War was about the Soviets/Russians being able to just completely change your precious country into radioactive glass with people living in the Stone Age. Ok, glass age.

“Take over” is. It the point. “Eliminate rivals” is the point. And I can ensure you the Russians have threatened, have tried and and will again. The US, believe it or not, is not a hermetically sealed block. It depends on external inputs and very definitely depends on other countries to buy your exports. And the Russians are most assuredly threaten your customers. They threatened to nuke the Chinese outright in the late 60s.

And then there is the election interference and Russian money in politics. The Russian mob bailed Trump out after he bankrupted a casino. Twice. Buying politicians is not the same as boots in the ground, no. But it most assuredly comes asymptotically close to “take over”

They also distract your attention and resources. The whole mess in the Middle East was made much much worse when the Soviets invaded Irans weak neighbor, Afghanistan, in 1979. The plan was to exploit the Iranian revolution and move their forces closer to the oil fields. Before that the US was not all that interested in the Persian Gulf. After that they had the entire 5th fleet based there. That war ultimately ended in 9/11 because the US was sort of forced to give money to the Jihadis to fight the Russians.

TypeScript has a very very advanced type system that pushes the boundaries far beyond the old-same 80s-90 Java/C++ Object stuff.

And if you forked the very public legitimate project at https://github.com/anthropics/... they also DMCA'ed you and removed that fork, Despite the fact that it is is perfectly legitimate and considered normal on Github to fork public repos like that As an act of social support and in order to help find bugs and report them.

So I don't play that type of game. Has anyone here played those, and had the gambling feeling over these loot boxes? The summary is rather damning, but I'd like the opinion of an adult gamer.

Red. Frakking. Mine?

Sitting your moms basement looking at ASCII Art Porn and whining that the boobs are not open-source, written with Vi by other nerds does not qualify you as a UI engineer. And yet... these people wrote RedMine claiming that it is good because "ITS FREE!!!". Do you know what else is free? Syphilis. I don't want that either.

Seriously, Redmine is the ultimate expression of the concept of "Hack Job by Linux Nerds who think UI Design is for La-Di-Da College Types"

Redmine sucks donkeyballs.

It gets worse. The real lesson from AI?

Your job is so mindless and dumb that you can be replaced by a stupid statistical algorithm.

Linguistic drift and all that, being still in that awkward transitional stage. One of those things where expecting everyone to just jump into some new phrasing is a mighty big ask.

Bigoted scum like you lost the argument. In a Democratic Society, you get your way by winning the argument and then winning the vote. But your side didn't manage that. You lost, because the majority of people think your bigotry is laughable at best and should make you a pariah in any civilised Society.. And because your side lost the argument and the vote, they turned to underhanded tactics to try and get thier way anyway, undemocratically. But the civilised side isn't stupid and so noticed this underhanded tactic and voted it down. So your side lost again. And now, like the whiny little crybaby you are, you are bawling your eyes out about having lost and trying to misrepresent the facts of the case. You lost, get over it. Maybe try and join the civilised world instead of continuing to spread your bigotry and hatred, although I think that's unlikely. You'll just keep crying about how civilised people think you're a dickhead.

After looking further into this, it was indeed an amendment put in by bigots to try and wreck a piece of legislation they don't agree with but know they are in the minority on. The legislation was to cement recognition of trans women as women, and trans men as men. This amendment could have been used to bypass this because if passed, then if a trans man can get pregnant they would be a women not a man and this could then also be used to argue the vice-versa. It was an attempt to scupper a vote they were going to lose by making the legislation unworkable and was rejected on that basis.

Why would you need a regulation to say such a thing? What possible purpose could it serve? Are you suggesting that because they didn't vote to confirm this now men can get pregnant? Without knowing what the proposal actually was, or even if it exists outside some bigot's imagination, I suspect that this was part of some wider amendment designed to bake bigotry into regulation. They included that particular clause so that when it inevitsbly got voted down they could cite this to make it seem silly

I'm sure I'm not the only American that's willing to host and support The Free Press.

In America, UK has no power (since 1776)

Imagine the political possibilities if we hosted this on American soil on American servers.
