He VERY blatantly stole the election after losing in a huge landslide, and his own people hate him. I'm very glad the dictator is gone, now the rightful winner can take his place.
Cool. So Russia is next? Putin prevents any opposition candidate from running and steals the election by stuffing ballot boxes. Russia also has a lot of oil.
Narco terrorism? Is that like importing 400 tons of cocaine into the country then getting a pardon? I thought the word was if someone sells drugs in your country you don't arrest the president of that country.
"A lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that, and I did it. I feel very good about it," Trump said. "If you have some drug dealers in your country, and you're the president, you don't necessarily put the president jail for 45 years."
Because Obama had this reported. Unlike Trump who blocked reporting because he was killing so many civilians it was making him look bad.
As to those "extra-judicial killings", I'm guessing you're okay with all those extra-judicial killings of people in the Caribbean. Oh those, weren't citizens, so it's okay. The media isn't going to quibble about that.
I don't have mod points to mod you down, so I'll respond to your stupidity about "the press". The press reports whatever government report comes out about jobs and employment. Every month the press reports this.
Here is a report from the press two weeks about employers adding jobs. There aren't any numbers to report for Ocober because Orange Man had the government shut down so data couldn't be collected. In about two weeks the press will report on the December jobs numbers.
If you can't be bothered to read, don't post.
Iran can actually fight back.
As Iran showed when Israel once again attacked its neighbors, just like Russia does, they can hurt you. While it's SOP to prevent pictures of hits on your territory to hinder retargeting, Israel was frantic to put restrictions in place when they realized Iranian missiles were accurately hitting their targets.
Further, Israel, in conjunction with the U.S., had a rapidly diminishing supply of interceptor missiles. Estimates indicated another few weeks and Israel would have exhausted their supply, leaving them open to unhindered attacks. That is why Trump pushed so hard for a ceasefire.
While Buffett largely avoided pure tech for decades, Buffett long considered technology a blind spot, famously saying "I wish I had" bought Apple earlier.
In the third quarter of this year, Buffett purchased 18 million shares of Alphabet stock for $4.3 billion. He admits, he should have invested earlier:
"I had seen the product work, and I knew the kind of margins [they had]," Buffett said in 2018. "I didn't know enough about technology to know whether this really was the one that would stop the competitive race."
As he is famous for saying, invest in what you know. He didn't know enough about it and didn't invest until now. Either he saw the error of his ways or the incoming CEO took the plunge. Regardless, it will stay pay off handsomely for the company in the long run.
Right after he spoke to Netanyahu.
It's like when he speaks to Putin and says Russia wants Ukraine to succeed.
How much money did they raise through this? That was the goal, was it not? How much did they receive in charitable donations and how much did it cost them?
If using these bots to solicit money is less expensive than the usual methods, it was a success despite the blowback.
And there's the problem. Absolutely none of the movies you mentioned I had/have any interest in seeing. They do absolutely nothing for me. The closest would be Tron, but having seen the previews I realized it would be a shell of even the second Tron movie and made simply for the sake of using the name.
Because the movies being produced suck. I haven't gone to the theater in decades, but almost without exception every movie ad I see just screams suck. Yes, there are exceptions (A Beautiful Mind and Bladerunner 2049 for example), but on the whole, movies just suck. The stories aren't compelling, the acting is average, and the supposed comedy is boring.
Unless/until Hollywood gets back to making movies rather than using the formulaic crap they've been using, things will not improve.
They have only themselves to blame when theaters go under.
We already know RAM prices are going up. My comment will have no effect one way or the other.
We have contracted prices from our PC supplier. We buy thousands of machines each year. I raised the question in our weekly meeting with the contractor if these increase in memory prices would affect our contracted prices. I was told no.
However, after thinking about this for a bit, I realized the supplier could always claim force majeur and raise prices. Granted, it would have to go back through the contracting process and get approval for the new prices, but they could do this.
Nothing yet, but I keep waiting for something like this to come down the pipe.
How about we start with something a bit more simple than what is life? Why not what is love?
Maybe. Or maybe many millions of years of evolution has created brains that make snap judgements because it is more efficient to do so. Evolution has probably created a rule that if something looks odd, it likely is odd and ought to be treated as such. Much of this sort of processing isn't done at a conscious level - so overriding it is hard.
Then what in our evolutionary history caused us to have the uncanny valley? About the only thing I can come up with is during our evolutionary rising, when we saw other humanoid beings on the plains of Africa, we had to determine if they were like us or not. And by us, I mean as pre-homo sapiens existing at that time.
If it wasn't something on the plains, was it another being we're not aware of?
Electric vehicles weigh twice ICE vehicles so do twice the damage to roads, yet no road tax on them??. Soon.
Some states are starting to tax EVs or have higher registration fees for EVs. Some states charges taxes on charging stations.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
