Interestingly enough if you count out loud your lips won't touch in the middle until you get to a million.

Billion continues that deviation from the lower numbers.

Yeah, but it's $10 or so while a letter is around $0.80.

Were the check for $20 it wouldn't be worth it until you know that checkwashing is a thing.

Our Boomers wrote checks in 1960 so they write checks today.

And the banking sector is lousy with fiscal parasites who are all trying to extract rents from everybody so there is no smooth banking payment system.

Third parties like Paypal are notorious for seizing accounts without due process sp they are avoided for anything substantial.

Where I live Bitcoin Cash is used far more than other electronic payment methods because it just works and avoids all the malevolent third parties.

They're calling it Focused Ultra Sound which means using an MRI to guide stimulation of millimeter-scale areas of the brain to disrupt electrical activity there.

So many ads and press releases on a web search but I did find this bibliography:

It's weird how these hospitals don't link papers in the news releases as is common in the West.

Curiously there was an article yesterday about Ultrasound brain imaging so it might be possible to combine the two modalities. This seems like an "obvious to a practitioner" approach though noise cancelation will be needed.

We might actually be capable of realizing that headband where you walk into Sick Bay and tell Dr. Crusher you have Holodeck addiction and she slaps it on your forehead for twenty minutes and tells you to lay down and then come back if it recurs.

You beat me by a matter of minutes, it would seem.

If you hear "if you can't afford a Macbook Neo you're too poor to be an Apple customer," don't be surprised.

I definitely heard that related to iMessage a decade ago. The 666 304's had some thing about bubble colors.

I'm not going to run it but people have said the kernel handles realtime needs much better than 10.

I do wonder how much of the bloatware needs to be disabled to actually realize that, though.

> Emirates operates these with over 500 passengers

Well they did until the value proposition of Dubai and Abu Dhabi suddenly came into question with three days' food and no way to restock and no sewer system, relying on petroleum-powered sewage trucks to keep people alive.

It sure seems 'convenient' that they suddenly have an insurable loss on very expensive and unprofitable airframes at just the right time.

Let's see what kind of cars the regulators purchase in a few months, or maybe it's just a coincidence.

It started as a very easy to use wiki, for internal knowledge at a company. It still is good for that use case.

But they tried to bolt on everything else under the sun to it, and it now tries to compete with Trello, Asana, Monday, JIRA, and everything else... and now apparently GMail as well.

The more a company tries to do in Notion ("because we already have it"), the more messy and unusable of a mess it becomes.

Lutnik is an Epstein Associate.

AI Surveillance Police State is his ultimate goal.

Americans are getting 'too uppity' (sovereign).

I'm familiar with the backup power design of some of the cell towers where I live.

Let's just say I'm also learning how to build solar Meshcore repeaters and placing them on appropriate hilltops where I can.

You can Royal Decree anything but don't bet your life on it.

Also nobody likes to mention that the big Spanish overvolt grid crash coincided with the arrival of a very large CME. We mustn't rile the natives.

All of the software on all of these devices comes from random anonymous people from all over the world.

All of the software on everyone's phone and PC and server is based on open source coming from all over the world.

The rule is there for economic protectionism.

That is the reality.

Who made the call to fire these guys?

Were they Americans who did the firing? Were they Americans who got fired?

It's important to understand the sociology potentially putting huge American enterprises risk

And why would we believe the claim that a 1-year reliability rating had anything to do with this?

Anybody who vaguely understands automotive manufacturing knows that cars that were sold over one year ago were designed several years ago and tooling takes months to years for a new model.

This article seems designed to obfuscate rather than clarify.

This makes me feel like buying a BYD would be less risky.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.
