are you trying to help or just be contrary...

I dug into the sources a bit. Apparently they were excluding white neighborhoods from checks, then somebody else was removing non-asian names before forwarding it for further investigation.

Looking into the sources and tracing a bit:

If they actually did this, well, that's like how the NRA forced most "may issue" states to be effectively "shall issue" for various weapon permits.

When the police can't come up with a good reason for denying the black woman's permit request when she has letters from a ex-boyfriend stalker threatening to kill her, who is due to be released from prison soon, but the white doctor living in a gated community gets it first thing, there are questions to be asked. Especially when permits for black people have a 99% reject rate while whites get them 90% of the time.

Releasing immature tech to the general public is a strange strategy, especially when hypemongers exaggerate its capabilities.
The general public has a reputation for misusing tech and doing really stupid stuff with it.
The proper use of AI is for helping us solve previously intractable problems in science, engineering, medicine, etc. Using AI to create slop, scams and fake "friends" is a misuse of the tech.

Just to be clear, I believe that part of the problem was that the city government was broke and basically in receivership. Ergo, the politicians in Flint were not actually in control of the water contracts, it was an emergency manager appointed by Governor Rick Snyder(R).

I remembered the broke part and not in control, looked up the specifics.

Basically, to cut costs, the manager stopped the practice of piping water from Detroit and started using the historically very polluted and corrosive Flint River, without adequate testing and treatment (itself actually a violation of federal law).
Because many of the homes still had lead service pipes, going from basic to acidic caused the protective oxidization on the pipes to dissolve, putting excessive lead into the water.

It eventually made national news, but by all measures, this is still a far better situation than what Tehran is facing.

Switching back to the old water source or adding more controls like running the water through a filter of crushed limestone to correct the PH fixes the issues in Flint. No such easy solution is possible for Tehran.

I don't see any purpose or reason to be using a shitty on rails shooter. There are realistic combat sims like ARMA which would be a better option.

You might be correct. It has been a long time since I was in law enforcement. I gotta say though I think I listen to my kids and their feelings alot more than you were given credit for.

LOL. We made a choice to move out into the sticks for the future. It leaves me commuting a long ways but after I retire in a few years things will be much nicer out here, and the kids have the advantage of better schools and the outdoors to run about.

I commute about 150 miles to work. What I need is a car I can commute in and then after a short period use again to get around locally. I will have used my 300 or mile range by the time I am home. I'd like to be able to use the car again for an evening outing.I suppose a hybrid is mor the fit for me that a straight EV.

man your comment sure stirred upa nest of ^%$% :)
cheers and be well.

I use it all the time but just as a point and click device. I am sure they think it would be useful if you were drawing or somthing artistic, but thats not me.

Sorry, I didn't get that quite correct, they're Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners. They require no external power.

It wasn't just the generators or sea wall. Another one of the problems is that they never installed the hydrogen reformers designed to burn off the hydrogen buildup from an overheating core safely.

As recommended by the reactor manufacturer and installed on US plants.

There would have been a lot less boom with them installed.

AI is an immature tool and early adopters need to carefully cross-check the results
Lying salesweasels may tell fantastic stories, but immature tech is still immature

Because adult strangers are ALWAYS a danger. The poor kids are more likely to be molested by their local gym teacher or "Uncle Fred" than they are a total stranger adult. I'm really concerned that todays kids are not going to learn how to interact with ANYONE, much less a total stranger. How do they get through life ?

Record labels are becoming increasingly irrelevant
AI "music" may end up being a popular fad, but I hope it's a short-lived fad
Musicians will continue making music. It's part of our nature
