The American Citizen should be legislating that alright. By threatening to vote every motherfucker out of office who dares to forget THAT long-held rule over 200 years old.

In practice over 50% of voters will vote for an insurrectionist and about 35% will vote for him literally no matter what he does. So yeah, the majority of your population don't give a flying fuck about the constitution.

I see you've reached the "can't think of anything so I'll exaggerate/outright lie about what you said" stage of the argument, viz:

existential threat to our freedom and prosperity

I never said that. So just fuck all the way off.

I don't know if your stupidity is feigned for effect or entirely genuine.

Either way you won't be the one getting rich off this.

Russia "culminating" the "SMO".

Pull the other one mate. A much smaller, much less well armed and much less wealthy country has ground Russia's famed army to a halt in a 4 year way so far.

You have to be a right tool or paid troll to use Putin's term to pretend it's not a war of conquest where Russia lost most of the black sea fleet, almost all modern armour, a substantial number of factories and oil refineries, had Moscow bombed from the air and lost a million men.

Smo my arse.

I put a CD player in my 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500.
Unfortunately, due to where I had to put it (centre console), I could only change a CD when the gear stick was in 2nd or 4th...

or gleeful at the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk lived and died on a principle he strongly held, knowing it increased his risk of death.

As Justice Douglas wrote in 1949: "...[A] function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve its high purpose when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger. Speech is often provocative and challenging. It may strike at prejudices and preconceptions and have profound unsettling effects as it presses for acceptance of an idea."

That's an interesting take especially in 1949. A scant 4 years after the end of speech causing a "condition of unrest with "profoundly unsettling effects".

Or is this like the Charlie Kirk thing where it's only a problem if the people advocating for consequences don't have to face them?

Maybe he hates lefties because he fundamentally thinks they are like him?

Yeah well it's not your fucking local supermarket.

Unfortunately it is mine. There are local smaller shops I also go to but it's proven pretty handy you know?

Hello from South East London. This is actually my local big supermarket.

Fuck those guys. Yeah this is one of the ways in which the UK is indeed a bit shit. This is not something I mind discussing as long as I'm not being lectured/hectored by someone divorced from reality. That's surprisingly common on the internet but I digress.

Without reference to other countries, yes the UK is a bit shit in a number of regards. This facial recognition obsession combined with a jobsworthy passing of blame and a Lovell system which only works for the wealthy and powerful is one of them

> What you're not considering is that the manufacturers are building fab capacity like crazy right now.

Which they'll shutter or repurpose if the demand plummets. You think they're going keep those factories churning out memory chips if prices drop significantly?

At the end of the day they have to make a profit. Making a bunch of memory chips with a profit of $-1 per chip is not making a profit.

It just means Gemini will start being rude and will refuse to try to help anyone with a question.

No. The hardware being built for AI is basically using hardware that more closely resembles graphic cards minus the DisplayPort output than anything you can pick apart to insert in your PC. Even the memory modules are completely un-DIMM like.

At best, supply will return to pre-AI levels, but that'll just mean that memory reduces in cost to somewhere between today's absurd prices and Trump's post-tariff prices. The chances of it being reduced to Biden levels is pretty low.

Memory is going to be expensive for the foreseeable future. And all because of what's essentially a con job, an attempt to take over every substantial business in America by making their own employees unable to understand what it is they do, that nobody's prepared to do anything about.

How 'bout if I buy now and pay after I die?

If it's an AI data center (which is generally what people are concerned about the massive growth of) responsible for 911, then you're going to have a bad day whether powered or not.

The obvious solution here is to run the data centers in reverse. Basically feed them long winded manipulative slop, and have them convert it into the original art. This will mean the centers will then start generating power instead of using it up.

It's so obvious I can't believe nobody's thought of it before. We could probably solve global warming if we did this.
