Comment That's rich (Score 1) 177

This guy, along with Al Gore and Hazel O'Leary led the effort to kill the Integral Fast Reactor which was operational by 1991 which simultaneously solved the nuclear waste and energy generation problems.

From what I can tell getting this going was the only thing GHWB did right.

It's said Gore did it to pay off Greenpeace, Kerry did it for the Lincoln Labs tokamak project, and O'Leary did it for Big Oil (like Ford killing Project Liberty). Later Gore parlayed this betrayal into his slide show grift.

Now 35 years later we need cleaner energy, huh? Yeah we flippin' told you that in 1992. And we'll be buying our new reactors from China.

PS China still runs 90% coal. Be careful with the analogies.

Testing AI isn't an enumerated power of Congress.

NY is just doing their job* yet have to bitch about it. That's a clue about how well this will work out.

Given the pace of government it's not crazy to think that a two year old model will be certified as licensed and NY residents won't be allowed to use newer models.

The effectiveness will be as a jobs program for a few people. Or for a few politicians to take corporate bribes for a repeal.

* I haven't read the NY Constitution in decades ... "presumably"

To me, that is basically an acoustic Stockholm syndrome. Motorcycles with their open engines are necessarily very loud to the rider. Like the hostages start to love their captor, motorcycle riders start to love the sound to cope with the fact that they can't flee it.

From that,I'm guessing you are not a biker.

And as the old saying goes..."..if I have to explain it to you....you wouldn't understand.."

That's now throwing shade at you, mind you.....it's just if you aren't of the biker mind, you likely won't "get it".

Comment Caspian Trap (Score 2) 182

France wants the US to enter its war against Russia directly so it's trying to merge the Ukraine and Iran conflicts.

Ukraine already attacked an Iran boat to curry favor but backed off when Iran threatened missile strikes.

El Cheeto is participating by saying 'he' will blockade Iranian commerce in the Caspian Sea.

US has no assets there but Ukraine has long range drones and Flamingo missiles.

"Iran melted our ice cream" is a freebie to the DC Warmongers' narrative.

It'll help Macron get the ECB job he wants.

Oh wait, second hand EV prices have gone Up as people try to avoid paying high petrol prices

Must be a EU thing.

In the US, the used EV prices are still tanking (no pun intended)....you drive an EV off the lot here in the US, you are pretty much guaranteed to be close to upside down in it immediately.

Then walk - When people being up "I can't charge, I live in an apartment" as some sort of reason to not make EV's, I have to chuckle. I don't have space to put in a Dump truck, that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.

I know you jest....as that "walking" for most folks isnt' a viable option at all.

I think the main thing is....while there are significant number of folks that can NOT charge at home for various reasons, people should not be penalized for sticking with ICE vehicles which still server them quite well.

At his level he should subject everyone to an exhaustive background investigation before fucking, let alone a relationship. He can afford to surround himself with security professionals including having those professionals audited by third parties.

Rich and powerful men have no excuse for putting hoes on a pedestal because at their level the only possible reason for female attention is sizing them up as a mark. Rich men have no excuse for pretending sex partners desire them instead of whatever they can grift.

Comment Female stupefies rich nerd, no one is surprised (Score 2) 105

Why do otherwise intelligent people with enormous wealth dare to think someone would want them for anything but mercenary motives? Even Donald Trump is wiser than that and treats hoes like hoes. No shame in that game because everyone knows the rules, one of which is direct bluntness (like referring to hoes as hoes, which is not hate or even dislike but observation) to prevent any illusions about those relationships.

Rich old men should hire successful pimps to give them reality briefings, because no one understands humanity like a master manipulator. The world is a very bad place but its worse for the naive. Elizabeth Holmes was able to manipulate men who would have known better were she a man.

It's degenerate to allow yourself to be unworldly. Ignorance is no virtue. The price of wealth is you are not a person to others (unless they're your homies from before you got rich, and that's subject to their avarice), just potential prey.

Old men especially should be completely cynical and jaded unless they're mentally ill. Not even kidding. Attractive people who are self-sufficient want other attractive people. Grifters want old men because they know old men are likely horny, desperate and vain.
