What happens when Big Brother realizes that you're actually working 12 hour days, but only getting paid for 8 hours, which puts them in violation of state labor laws? I was working far more hours than I was getting paid for while I was at Meta, but that's mostly 'cause I was working 425 miles away from my home and didn't really have anything else to do.

George Orwell was only slightly off about the date. It's a trope that SciFi always gets the date wrong.

Is 30 minutes enough time to have a good wank?

If you evaporate the oceans, the water will eventually rain down somewhere.

Drones are the future of modern warfare. It doesn't seem like "neocon war propaganda" to point that out. Although I would prefer there not be any war at all, we still have madmen like Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump that go around intentionally starting wars. Pointing out that those madmen intentionally start wars isn't neocon propaganda either, it's a simple statement of fact.

Trump is on a revenge tour against everybody and anything he hallucinates has disrespected him, and apparently he hallucinates the environment has disrespected him. Honestly, that's the only logical explanation for his actions.

Wouldn't it have been more efficient to not pay a company to NOT build wind turbines on the land it had already payed to lease for wind turbines? Trump will literally waste taxpayer's money on his revenge tour against the environment. His actions are indistinguishable from the actions of a mad scientist deliberately trying to harm the planet.

Trump's "F the environment" policies are creating MORE ocean, not less ocean! Which means it will be really ironic when Mar-a-largo is finally literally underwater, won't it?

You gotta train them to not use their teeth.

When I think of sterile males, I always think of... Google.

You're joking, but that statement has a ring of truth to it. We need to use AI to mitigate the harm caused by AI. It's the new arms race.

AI can do things much faster than you can. What it cannot do is guarantee those things are correct. Just because a statement statistically occurs more often doesn't mean the statement is true, e.g. literally everything that Trump says.

The FTC imposed a consent order on Meta in 2011 to respect customer data rights. They have repeatedly violated that order, and been fined literrally billions for continuing to violate it. So no, I don't believe anything Zuck says, because apparently he considers paying billions in fines as just a normal cost of doing "business".

I dated a flight attendent... one whose liquor inventory frequently came up short at the end of flights. I agree, she would be impossble to train to use nRFConnect; I have problems with it myself.

Not Bluetooth MAC Address, Bluetooth Company ID = 0x004C, which is assigned to Apple. So they show up in nRFConnect with an Apple Icon.
