Yeah like those people who vote to keep immigrants out and then find out they need to clean their own shit out of the toilet.

You keep saying that...until the Muslims become numerous enough to start enacting and enforcing sharia law....

There's already swaths of area, neighborhoods that are growing in France and Great Britain that are so ethnic that it is dangerous for cops or non-Muslims to tread in those areas.

It's a disease that is spreading,...you're losing your culture and eventually your countries if you don't do something.

It's not bigotry, it's self preservation at this point.

Why is it never the Republicans who have to appeal to moderates?

These days...especially lately, the Democrats have pulled SO FAR left, that the majority of Republicans ARE the moderates.....

I mean it was getting bad but when you add the DSA on top, the Dems are waaaaay of base to the left, enough to make almost anyone look 'moderate'.

Can you back your car up on a skinny dirt road on the face of a cliff with complete assurance? I know 2 people who have killed a child while backing up. Children don't stay in one place like statues. They wish they had cameras in the back.

I've been driving for about 40+ odd years.....never had a car with a reverse camera.

So far, it isn't been a problem I've run into (no pun intended).

I've been IN some cars that have them, driving...and well, I really don't use them then either...I'm so used to actually turning around and looking BACK while reversing to stare forward at a screen.

A lot of cars now have features where they lower the fan speed on the HVAC system when a call comes in. They also override it for alerts from the car (like when it's trying to warn you that you're going to hit a pedestrian because the car is momentarily pointed at them on a slight curve, and even though they are on a sidewalk with a raised curb and everything). They can always find some reason that a feature might need that kind of control.

I do NOT need or want those features.

I wish to control as much as possible manually on my car and do not want it doing stupid piddly shit like that....turn fan down for call?

When it's this fucking HOT, I will willingly talk louder or tell the idiot calling me I'll call back later when I'm NOT DRIVING anymore......you know?

You should be eating the plants directly vs. converting an animal into human food which is inefficient and environmentally destructive.

Somehow I don't see low and slow smoking beets and turnings on my log burning offset smoker is going to give me quite the same thrill and pleasure as briskets, pork shoulders and ribs....

Frankly , I've always cooked for fun and flavor, never efficiency....who cooks for efficiency, except those that dont' have functioning taste buds maybe?

The question is - what about brown-skinned people or people with a "funny accent" who are eligible to vote

Then you have nothing to worry about.

If approached, comply...calmly, present your credentials, don't run, don't fight back, etc.

Pretty much like any other interaction with the authorities if you aren't a wanted criminal.

Notarization is Apple's strict code signing process, which makes it hard for non paying and anonymous developers to distribute third party Mac software. Linux lets you run unsigned software without compromise.

Thanks for the definition.

So far, I've not run into a problem with this....

And with specific regard to my local AI and OpenClaw experiments and tools required for that....haven't run into a problem at all yet.

So, not a barrier of merit.

Especially with AI and ARM64 server development. Having to go through brew, containers and Apple's notarization process makes MacOS not a serious platform compared to bare metal Linux. In a twist of fate it is MacOS that is not ready for the AI desktop. Asahi is stuck on M1 and M2 so can't help you with M6 Macs.

Err...actually, OSX, so far in my experience is quite adapted to local AI.

Brew? What's wrong with that...pretty much the equivalent of of apt-get on some Linux installs, or whatever package manager you use there...

Docker is easy to run on Mac...actually it seems to give a bit more isolation they way it works on Mac...but set up is a breeze and while containerization is not required to run AI or OpenClaw on a Mac, it IS a good idea for security reasons to do so....Mac or Linux!!

Not familiar with any 'notarization" on my Mac set up, please explain?

OH...and running stuff on ollama, you get to take advantage of of the MLX framework for running local AI models....really speeds things along....

So, not quite sure why you are trying to say Macs aren't good for AI work....they actually are quite good for it AND I guess a bit more plug and play to get things set up and running.

And with any platform the more secure you make it, well that adds complexity, but it's worth it....I'd not want to turn OpenClaw or the like free on any platform without guard rails....

"[Racism] is right twice per day" is the phrase that comes to mind.

Racism....where does that come into play with this?

I don't see anywhere where any specific race was targeted or any restrictions were based on skin color, creed or sex, etc.....it just says that H1B (which could be anyone in the world) would be more $$ to bring into the US.

You're really reaching on this one.

If I'm mistaken PLEASE cite and point out where this is meaded out by race in the exec order or rule....
