Comment Re:Sailing the high seas (Score 1) 65

Is there anything worth pirating? I've rediscovered an old hobby... reading. I'm down to just Prime now because it has the most older British detective shows and period dramas (a bit of a favorite with my partner right now). If it was left to me, I'd simply cancel it all. My last Disney+ subscription went unused for a couple of months, save for my daughter and I watching watching Alien Romulus (what a sad waste that was).

So far as I'm concerned they can raise it to a million dollars a month.

The Congressmen and women doing the investigation are all taking money from the Teacher's Union.

They're taking infinitely more money from the corrupt worker hating oligarchs that want no taxes (on them) and hate workers - teachers included. Your sense of proportion is broken and priorities misplaced.

It's attritional warfare. One Russia has dominated from the beginning when it was firing four times as many artillery rounds a day than your Nazi pals. Who knows what it is now when the west can barely supply Ukraine with munitions while Russia happily makes millions of rounds per year.

They can keep this pace up indefinitely. NAFO cannot. Russia could easily roll all over Kiev right to the Polish border if they wanted to and were willing to absorb the casualties.

They don't want to.

How about we put this much hyped AI to good use by employing it to automatically shut the door in such cases?

While we're at it, I could use an AI robot dishwasher that can actually clean pans, determining whether to use scouring powder and then use it or not, and position dishes itself, no more need for the user to carefully position everything, just dump the dirty dishes in the machine.

Too bad all the hoopla around AI was hype, and AI still can't do such simple things.

Your Nazi pals are collapsing on all fronts, and yes that's a copy and paste as your McCarthyite cocksucking trash was destroyed the first time. NATO admits Russia produces arms in three months what takes all of NATO a year to produce. Suck on that sucker. of. Satan's. cock.

That's interesting and all, but since this isn't a criminal case it's not exactly on topic. If we're involved in a traffic accident and you are found at fault, you will be liable for the damages. If you crashed into me intentionally you would probably face criminal charges, but if you didn't display any sign of intent, the laws related to using a vehicle as a deadly weapon would be irrelevant to our case.

I'm unaware of legislation making AI chatbots mandatory reporters.

They're being sued for being complicit in the wrongful death of a teenager. They're not being taken to criminal court for failing to uphold their duty as a mandatory reporter.

If I watch you drown and do nothing, even though I'm a capable swimmer standing next to a bunch of flotation devices, and all of this is caught on camera, your family could probably sue me for causing your death even though I'm not a lifeguard and do not own the pool.

Comment Obobmber killed Venezuela (Score -1) 46

Even Fox News hailed Venezuela's economy before Obama decided it had to be destroyed to protect the petrodollar.

because they're a dictatorship

Even a non-dictator would have had Juan Guido shot for treason. Instead Maduro (checks notes) gave him a security detail to keep him safe from mobs. Some "dictator".

But the reason Venezuela is hurting so much is because it's a small country and they were literally getting all of their electricity from a huge dam.

Noooo, because their economy has been trashed by bipartisan sanctions from Washington. They also have a great climate for agriculture but can't compete against dumped crops from the United States subsidized below the cost of production.
