Most modern vehicles could take substantial damage from a good-sized rabbit. The plastic bumper covers are fragile and in some cases there's not much preventing it from coming through the lower vent area and damaging your radiator. So in general you should be braking for a rabbit on the highway, though maybe you have a pickup with a winch bumper or something?

Correct. He wants other people not to have the same medical care he had. And you don't want them to have it either. Both of you are fully transparent.

What you were doing was making a statement you didn't need to make, because it's being made left and right by people who want people to be denied care which is medically necessary. In doing so, you made it look like you stand with those people, whether that was your intent or not.

No, they don't. They destroy functional societies, including destroying the media so you don't know the trains don't run on time, and also making it illegal for anyone to tell you that the trains don't actually run on time. Then decades later, absolute fuckwits with a taste for boot leather and zero ability to think critically think the trains ran on time.

Because you clearly can't figure this out for yourself, you're that fuckwit.

I just spoke to a woman who was denied approval for a PET scan to verify her cancer hadn't returned. They didn't schedule that, but they did schedule her a panel of STD tests even though she doesn't have multiple partners etc and no history of injectables. The only question is whether a piece of shit human or some piece of shit software made the decisions.

You seem to be using the old definition of "inflation", which is properly called monetary inflation or currency inflation. But the current accepted definition of inflation is a broad-based increase in the price of goods and services, the cause doesn't matter. This explains your confusion, and how you aren't on the same page as anyone else in this discussion. It is annoying that the meanings of words can change, but that's what happens when they aren't sufficiently specific to begin with. That's why making up new words based on roots, prefixes, and suffixes with actual meanings of their own is preferable to borrowing other words which already have meanings. Inflation comes from Latin inflationem (nominative inflatio) "a puffing up, a blowing into; flatulence" and makes no mention of currency or prices.

Shame on you for criticizing "Slashdot" for using words incorrectly when that's not happening.

Yeah, because they need more real money to pay for things whose prices have increased.

Anyone else having flashbacks to They Live here?

We can see through your fake skin, bot.

Remember when the Facebook app grabbed everyone's contacts and then deleted them? I remember. But the world has forgotten so they allow Zuckerfuck to run code on their phones.

Dumb fucks.

The zipline thing seems neato, although it does have its down side, wind. Drones are great in wind, especially copters.

I'll just leave this here also since it's convenient:

"Residents have compared the sound to everything from a massive beehive to a full-on air raid."

Heh heh "air raid" people are nuts. Maybe one will burn up on top of a propane tank, though, and then it will be closer.

This was only counting Slashdot.

But we ship out our electronics to be landfilled in other countries.

"When we need medical care, we expect decisions about our treatment to be made by our doctors, not a tech company's algorithm,"

Yeah, that's the expectation of people who are new. They haven't seen an insurance company or Medicaid (or Medicare) deny treatment, or seen an employee at the SSA with no medical training deny an application for disability.

Short term, might be possible.

Medium term, not possible yet because the machines will break down and they aren't designed to be maintained by other machines.

Long term, possible but complex without at least having humans do inspections.

If they know about it and don't do anything to stop it, then they share liability. They can both be sued.

CBS reports that:

an L3Harris contractor was working in a remote FAA location and switching old copper wire to fiber while replacing a router. The router that was being switched then started flooding other routers, overloading the system. There were 1,000 attempts to log on every four to five seconds, he said.

The network DDoS'ed itself.

If the system is designed so that a couple of routers in one spot can make it necessary to ground everything, the design is bad. Saying they need $50B stat is wild when it clearly wasn't done right the first time with however much was spent so far.
