Yep, especially awkward for the (literally) marked ones who weren't 'out' as militants beforehand. That's going to be difficult for them to explain to their mums.

I agree, but those sentiments aside, ultimately I'd rather the slightly-less-lunatic side prevailed. If they have to incidentally take out a few kids who are, let's be realistic, highly likely (by choice or otherwise) to turn into future terrorists or enablers/supporters thereof, then I believe it's worth it.

You lay down with dogs, you get fleas.

You are correct. I feel so bad now. The Slashdot content farmers (laughably called editors) were just doing their usual job of completely misrepresenting the story they are linking to. They are the true retards. Forgive me Jason, or whatever your name was!

The Northern Lights are a by-product of the same charged particles that cause nasties.

They are not the cause of the nasties.

The Bloomberg reporter is a retard. I can only hope he is easily distracted by Northern Lights and crashes into a ditch whilst driving, thereby becoming a casualty by causation rather than by correlation, although I doubt the world will be that lucky.

The answers the AI gives will be really grumpy and supercilious too.

That made me laugh. Thank you for the explanation :)

Please, Morpheus, tell us all the deeper meaning.

Same here. A few days before my 40th, I thought I had torn a leg muscle, as did 3 doctors over 5 days. It was a physiotherapist that finally said it wasn't what everyone thought it was. Ended up in hospital for an operation to remove a litre of pus, and then 2 weeks on a drip to be dosed with Vancomycin (as the doctor somewhat ominously put it 'the antibiotic of last resort.')

It was my 40th birthday when they cut me open. When asked how I celebrated my 40th, I told them I had a night at the theatre.

So yes, it is easy to miss, easy to misdiagnose, and it doesn't take too long before it's too late.

Good news is no news.

SBF didn't kill himself.

You'll have the opportunity to say this again in a few days.

Slashdot should hire the bomb squad member as an editor. He clearly has a better sense of what news actually is.

The only solution is to throw soup at priceless works of art.

Fewer.
