Yes I have heard of Warp Speed, and fully believe it was the reason the vaccine was developed so quickly.

Are you really so dense that you believe complete rubbish that has been quoted to you?

Those poor souls. Can you imagine having to do that every day?

And also, VB and FORTRAN are not "similarly" anything.

Sorry I guess I'm going to have to ask a more specific question. Do you have an example of anybody owning a few million $ in bitcoin *exchanging ALL of it* for something that is not Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency or crypto asset. The fact that you can exchange a small amount of bitcoin for the equivalent amount of dollars does not prove anything.

There are examples of people exchanging their entire hold of hundreds of millions in gold or stocks, without the value of those commodities crashing. Would like proof this is the same for bitcoin.

Do you have ANY examples of somebody exchanging more than about 1 bitcoin for anything other than other cryptocurrency?

With a wild twisting of words this author added "meaning the emissions were dumped up-front in China's coal plants" to try to make this sound bad.

ALL "manufacturing emissions" are "dumped up-front". There is not something special about China or using coal. And even with the 2x or more CO2 emissions of coal, a solar power panel replaces all that CO2 emission in just a few months, which is an awful lot better than a lot of other things that people claim are green.

I've seen what is clearly automated scraping of other channel content being used to generate "highlight reels" with AI created thumbnails. Basically they're hijacking content with views, repackaging it in order to present it as new, and then spamming YouTube with variations on it to see what sticks. The algorithms will help trend anything that gets traction - if you scrape enough interesting content and then throw it at the wall, you can get some instances to trend.

The one instance I can say was probably AI generated video was one of those fake livestreams that pop up claiming to be associated with Elon Musk and SpaceX, that push cryptocoins. This is a particularly good area to exploit because the official stream is only on X, so there are no official streams on YouTube.

Mind you, this was old-school fake-ai where some human probably had to do the work to stitch it all together. I haven't seen any of the "new" 100% ai generated video yet... as far as I know.

Damn you ruined my joke. You are right

It seems dubious to me that water in the fuel would have reached all 3 engines simultaneously, especially if one of them was not running.

I'm guessing they can tell from the wreckage that it was not running? And it should have been running by the time of the crash due to the power failure that triggered the emergency windmill generator (forgot what that is called). Is this correct? If so yea it sounds like 3 engines failed, which seems to me to mean a pretty major electronics failure?

It arguably accomplished its goals of bailing out the major auto makers by forcing people to buy new cars (the "cash" was actually just a trade in credit - you couldn't get rid of an old car without buying a new one.)

"The formal name for the program was the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS). The CARS program gave people who qualified a credit of up to $4,500, depending on the vehicle purchased and its improvement in fuel economy over the traded-in vehicle."

Yes it punished poor people by destroying the traded in cars (not to mention saddling them with the debt of buying a new one if they couldn't otherwise afford it.) This robbed the market not only of used cars for resale, but the parts to keep cars that weren't traded in working (since the traded in cars had to be crushed, and the engines destroyed by deliberately seizing the engines.)

Isn't the APU turned off during normal flight?

All crashes are due to the jet being too close to the ground.

He absolutely was hit by the shock wave from a passing bullet, which caused visible damage to his ear.
Yes the metal of the bullet did not touch him, if it had there would not be much left of that side of his head.

WTF? You think the US government trusted what the Soviets said?

Also that is "federal income taxes". The poor pay a huge higher percentage of their income on sales taxes and fees than the rich.
