Regrading the "Killdozer" guy -

Those two things go hand-in-hand a lot more than I am comfortable with.

So we can't afford renewable wave energy for powering peoples' homes. But somehow it becomes feasible to power AI bros' desperate money grabs?

Ebiikes are a legal workaround loophole for motorcycles.

You realize there are a bunch of homes available for sale in all sorts of places for next to nothing. The problem isn't "housing", it is "housing where people want to live". Declining population in places like Italy have created housing collapse where nice houses aren't sold, and sit empty, and they'll pay you to move into one.

A couple of million dollars to the TRUMP Ballroom Fund should clear any irksome regulatory hurdles posed by the ineffectual FAA.

/s ... ?

It isn't colonial, it is industrial. The current format of school is that of preparing for a factory workforce. We are post industrial, knowledge/AI/Whatever it will be called workforce.

Educators need to come to grip with getting EVERY child their MAX educational value we can. This means breaking the rows and columns of desks in a classroom, and getting kids their most valuable education they can get. This means some will do much better than others. Talent has gradations. Not everyone can be a Astro Physics expert.

"fair" is subjective. What you think is "fair" isn't really fair. It is objectively unfair to use qualitative terms in discussion of policy.

What would be fair, is that Government live within the means we ALREADY tax out of the public. Cut Spending first. Then, when all cuts that can be made, are made, then MAYBE we can have a discussion on tax increases.

Its Not Your Money.

Envy isn't a virtue.

The problem here, is "fairness" is subjective, not objective.

Use of that particular term is deliberate tug on the emotional center of brains. it works, which is why Progressives ALWAYS use it.

Which is exactly what they said a hundred years ago when they instituted the "income tax".

Rich people will move out. And take their wealth with them.

Taxes are regressive. All of them.

Dude thought he had bought a golden ticket skimming a % off the top on the securitization of bribery. He deserves to lose his shirt. And be in prison.

The Matrix was right.
Mankind did burn the sky. Not to prevent AIs* from taking over but to give birth to them.


* actually unreliable LLMs, we all know the score here on /. .

Conspiracy theories are, until they are not.

Secret Pedo island owned by rich dude with elitist ties was once a "conspiracy theory". Now we know that Epstein killed himself 100% because "They" said so.

"I'm just asking questions" idiots notwithstanding. I'm looking at you Candice.

Trump has done more to accelerate the adoption renewables than anyone EVER by goading Iran into closing the straits of Hormuz.
Non-stupid countries read that signal correctly and will respond more-or-less rationally. To whit, get the fuck off middle east oil.

There's ~8 billion of us, if we eat one or two of these antisocial dickheads, that works out to be less than a gram per citizen, you won't even notice it. Less than a communion wafer or the rat hair in a hotdog. Part of your civic duty like going to church or jury duty.

Pretty soon they'd stop inflicting their stupid selfish ideas on the general public.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.
