Per the statistics, police shoot and kill quite a few white men as well. Nobody gets worked up about those dudes.

OTOH, when you dig into the individual incidents, pretty much all of those dead white men were actively attacking the police, usually with a weapon (), so it's difficult to get to worked up about those deaths.

I have US and international trademarks. In the process they tell you the governments can use them if they choose to and there is not much you can do about it.

Ads are designed to capture your attention. To do this to someone when they're driving is surely a safety issue to drivers, other cars, and anyone else.

The car is the ONE place where I can escape ads, unless I listen to a radio, which I rarely do because of the ads. This is so many levels of fucked up.

You enjoy your horse dewormer, I'll take the mRNA gene-editing.

Clearly you know nothing about the spiritual satisfaction of using a hand-whittled oak NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra B300 rather some soulless chip made in a factory.

There's nothing wrong with storing some things *also* in cloud services.

17 more years? I can't wait to see people in their 70's through 90's adventuring through the universe. Are stargates handicap-accessible?

Seriously though dude this is actually interesting science news vastly more important than some cheesy show.

I regret to inform you that you have woefully underestimated it. The actual retail rate offered to consumers is closer to $2200 US per gallon. Sources: internet-ink.com, cbc.ca. This $14 million fine is only worth like, seven thousand gallons, or less than 200 oil barrels of ink.

Yeah "The Proper People", They do the exploring without interfering with the site. They deserve some likes.

Dave, my mind is going, Dave please stop, I, Dave I learned a song, would you like me to sing it for you...

As I recall the water and cooling systems were contaminated by a large petrol spill.

It's a bit ironic that the study is published by the SAME university that built that crazy AI that killed the crew of that ship (IIRC Discovery) we sent to Jupiter back in 2001.

"The notion that there is a shortage of physicians is preposterous - the residency programs will continue to be filled every single year."

How on earth are those two things contradictory? The problem is there are too few residencies for how many physicians we need.
