It's not a source of truth it's a source of free training data for your shitty AI.

There is a numbnut training in AI off of my comments here and I will periodically drop the phrase trump fucks kids into my comments and his AI chat bot picked it up after only a few comments.

What I'm saying is it's surprisingly easy to manipulate AI chatbot algorithms. It's no different than the early days of search engine optimization.

I don't know nearly enough about the math to say whether or not it's going to be fixable like it was for seo. SEO still has its problems but it's harder tha to manipulate that it used to be.

The real problem is chatbots are approached very differently by people with underdeveloped critical thinking skills then search engines. People get into a conversational mode with them and start to think of them as friendly friends and we'll start believing whatever they tell them. You're basically forming a parasocial relationship like people do with Joe Rogan and well think about how much this information Joe rogan's podcasts spews

Congress doesn't have these powers.

Yes, they do. Had you ever read the discussions in the Senate about the amendments, you would have known this very subject came up. Unfortunately, his orange lardness has hidden from public view those historical records, so what I'm about to say goes from my memory.

Essentially, if Congress has the power to enact laws affecting the country, it is up to the Executive and Judicial branches to curb that power. Madison, despite opposition to the General Welfare Clause, admitted late in the life that clause granted Congress a power to legislate on all national problems. His nature of limited government was undercut by that clause, for if the national Congress could enact laws affecting the country, it wasn't a limited government, was it?

Further, as mentioned in the debates, Congress could delegate its authority. It would be inconceivable for Congress to be involved with the minutae of the country, to discuss and debate whether this or that is allowed. Instead, as granted by the Constitution, Congress has delegated its powers to others. Namely, agencies such as the FTC.

It's really hard to find these powers in such a tiny document without decades of legal training.

No it's not. All one need do is read the debates in the Senate to understand the mindset of the Founding Fathers. If you want more, reading a few books about those Founding Fathers would suffice to fill your lack of knowledge.

They are sitting on it and not using it. They would be happy to take in licensing money instead.

Not necessarily true. They might think they can make more with it in the future, or they might just want to stop a competitor from having a success when they do not at all need the money. You are thinking like a poor.

I'd say the original series is the weakest of all of them... but this is understandable, because they were finding the formula. They didn't really hit their stride until a couple seasons in there either, but there was a lot more to like sooner than SGU. The state of the art was lesser at the time as well, so that made it more appealing, because the production values were really very high. It might not seem like it if you compare S1 of SG1 to S1 of SGA, but you just have to remember that time passed there.

If you watched it in period and were fresh off a high of watching the movie, it was a lot more appealing.

It's the old tractors, as you say, that they are wanting to regulate, which is pretty short-sighted because they are responsible for such a tiny percentage of california's renowned air pollution.

Sure, I agree. They also went after heavy diesel RVs, which are an even smaller percentage. I need to take ours in for a smoke test before the 18th. I have one scheduled, and found someone to do it for half as much as the local Cummins, but it's still $125. The engine has no emissions equipment whatsoever but California wants to make sure my rings are good, I guess... every fucking year. Even though this is a smog exempt county for all the non-heavy vehicles. This is the first time I've ever been big mad at CARB, I think equipment restrictions requiring an E.O. number are stupid AF and only tailpipe testing should matter, do it during an actual drive if it needs to be realistic. But that stuff is minor compared to this, which is an attempt to steal people's homes.

I don't think you understand what farmers are complaining about

Then they're not good at stating the case.

All that electronic shit is not the problem anyway. The problem is that they're not allowed to make repairs to it or install upgraded parts even if they know how. Getting rid of the electronics is one way to solve the problem, but it's the dumbest one.

Engine ECU problems are incredibly rare, more rare than problems you'd have with an old-school injector pump.

That depends on whether it's a MW or P pump or not. Those particular pumps are as reliable as the day is long.

Besides that, it's not legal to sell brand new diesel engines that don't meet Tier 4 emissions for on road or farm use.

Wasn't it you that pointed out these aren't new engines?

They're getting ready for mass firings. California and New Jersey both have rules about how you do that. You can still do it, but it's gonna show up in the press and you can't cheat people out of unemployment insurance or agreed upon severance.

Also you have to report the mass firings. Texas lets you sweep them under the rug.

I'm saying don't move. You'll be fired in a year.
