In Korea, only old people use phones.

Don't tell the text-looker-upper that you want to kill yourself, and it won't look up and give you text it found, about how to kill yourself.

At least at first glance, this looks a lot like user error.

The next time you want to kill yourself, try asking OpenAI's product about the best way to pet a puppy. I bet that will get you much safer advice.

How many dollars is that?

Without a dollar figure, it's hard to put this oil subsidy into perspective. Is this a huge subsidy, or just a little one?

it isn't "rental", because a person has unfettered access to the digital content for an extended period of time.

When renting an apartment or house, aren't we using the word "rental" in exactly the same way? I don't see how the movie situation is "more than a rental."

He pulled a golf ball out of a T-4 bacteriophage's blow hole once. Does that count?

That's not how science works, but it really is how Trump works. This is the guy who made drunk Hegseth fire the DIA chief because the intel assessment of the Iranian bombing wasn't loyal enough.

He wants his underlings to lie to him. If you tell Trump the truth about something, it makes him angry. Wouldn't pollution censors on a satellite also pose a risk of seeing something Trump disagrees with?

It raises the question: why are any sensors being tolerated at all? Aren't temperature and moisture readings just as threatening? Who is the disloyal never-Trumper who authorized that any weather satellite be launched? Fuck all weather satellites; they can only lead to weather heresy. Weather satellites are a Democrat hoax.

What the wind and solar developers seem to be screaming about is how the federal government will no longer be issuing subsidies and tax breaks for the construction of wind and solar facilities

I wonder if maybe there could be a compromise.

Instead of zero subsidies for wind and solar, what if, instead, we gave them a subsidy equal to one percent of the money we give to fossil fuel industries? For example, if we give a thousand dollars to an oil company, give ten dollars to a solar company. If the taxpayers are forced to give the oil industry a hundred million dollar subsidy, then also force them to give a one million dollar subsidy the solar industry.

Might that be enough to keep the cheap renewable energy wackjobs happy, but still palatable to oil-burning enthusiasts?

I think if the government gave oil advocates a guarantee that they were getting more than everyone else, it would make them feel better about technology. Imagine an Exxon-branded T-shirt with "100:1, losers!" on it. Who wouldn't proudly wear that, and cackle with glee as they walk through hippie protest lines, watching the hippies' faces fall into despair as they realize they really were the losers.

As long as the trademark legally exists, it exists. There are a fuckton of Americans who vote for Rs and Ds, but don't know anything about the parties' policies. If you own the R or D trademark, you automatically get tens of millions of votes for nothing. You can be as politically nutty as you want and you won't lose those votes. You can declare those voters your enemy and work directly against them, and they will reward you for that by voting for you.

"Republican" is still an extremely real thing, and it's worth more far more money than it cost Trump to buy. He really did find a great deal.

Is the Republican Left (MAGA) now asserting the government has gained the power to control how The People generate electricity? I know transitioning from Free Markets to a Planned economy is a stress for everyone, but before We The People fully accept that stress, are we sure they can really force it on us?

I think we ought to at least wait and make SCOTUS agree that the 10th amendment does not exist. Until they say so, let's keep pretending the constitution is the law. Anything that will help to slow down Trump's implementation of Putin's vision for America, ought to be used.

As we think about whether or not 100% is high enough, consider this: we aren't thinking about the Epstein files at this moment. Pretty neat, huh?

Make whatever offer you want to, Delta; you're the ones who always remind me on the plane, "We know you have a choice." If this new pricing system isn't competitive, then it's not competitive.

My understanding of Cloudflare is that they're a reverse-proxy. So I think the issue is that due to these particular sites using Cloudflare, a legit DNS lookup still resolves to Cloudflare's service.

These websites have chosen for Cloudflare to be the middleman between themselves and all their users.

And have the presence of mind, and the giving-a-fuck (you have something to lose!), to actually bother using them.

AFAIK I've never slipped one past the goalie, but the times I risked it, is when I was poorer and life was generally worse and I was overall (not just sexually) less risk-averse. The more comfortable my life, the more I've maintained safe practices.

I figured the "tastes like chicken" comments were inevitable and then you throw in Peter Jackson, and obviously everyone is thinking about Bad Taste. But then I couldn't think of any really good ones, so I'll just punish the world with the Jackson jokes that I did come up with.

The moas died because they were feeble. As the Feebles, get it?

Um, what did the moa say to the kung-fu catholic priest? "Oh yeah? Well I kick ass for The Lord of the Rings!"

How many moas does it take to prepare ear-pus-custard? Moa than you would believe!

Done with the gain-of-function research, Chang is assigned to clean out the cages. But why throw out the live animals when he can get a few yuan for them down at the market?

Hijinx ensue!

This could be a good comedy movie. Chang should have some amusing [mis]adventures along the way!

I would at least pirate this movie, and then eventually watch it too.
