If data that you own is not personal property, then what is it?

This is like saying the words on a page are not personal property, but the paper is. No court would agree to that.

Personal property is anything you own or have possesion of, including intangibles such as stock or copyrights, that is not attached to land or fixed to real estate. Data on a phone falls within that definition. The phone is a physical item you own. It's your personal property. The data within the phone is also personal property, though intangible.

If it's on your phone, it's personal property. If you don't think it is, kindly explain who owns it.

If these events occur every 27.5 million years, when was the last one? From that we can anticipate the next one and see what happens.

Since the paper is behind a cookie wall, I can't read it, but I don't see anywhere where the previous event is noted.

So, this fixation you have of liberals' asses, you know there is a support group for you. Personally I find your fixation a bit extreme, but if it is what you need to get through the day, then have at it.

No one knows more about gay sex than a white, Christian male.

I know it's marketing speak, but "influcencer" is just another name for shill. These people are trying to get you to buy something.

There are just some people who are too stuck in their ways to ever own an EV.

There are those people who don't want to ask their vehicle for permission before they can drive it. They want to turn the key and go, not be tied to an app or some nebulous company who can disable the vehicle they bought on a whim

you will own nothing, pay a subscription to get your purchases downloaded, and like it.

you will own nothing, pay a subscription to get your purchases downloaded, can have it taken away at any moment, and like it.

Fixed it for you.

They do business in the EU. If you do business in a country, you are subject to their rules and regulations.

Ya, thank goodness the U.S. is going to build some new large battleships so that the Russkies, Chinese, NORKS, and Iranians have decent sized targets to shoot at.

The current Ford-class aircraft carriers are decent-sized targets to shoot at. They are bigger than a battleship.

I wouldn't say pragmatic, no. He's tried it, found it works, and now won't listen to the people pointing out the numerous problems with it.

He has pointed out AI's flaws and limitations. He has also said the beneft is it gets him to the starting point more quickly to either figure out a bug or how to do something, or even how to rewrite something he's already done. He is not blindly accepting what it says.

Trust, but verify would be closer to his thinking.

Why is it all these earth like worlds exist, but no signs of life ?

We don't know that. There could be organisms living on one or more of these planets, but we can't detect them. Maybe it's a type of moss or simply bacteria.

Until we visit these planets, we cannot say with any certainty life doesn't exist on these worlds.

Why more people are buying DVDs/blu-ray. They have the movie. They own it. It can't be taken from them. It won't change.

The same with books. No worrying that your digital copy will mysteriously disappear one night. You have the book. You bought it. It's yours. The words won't change.

Errr, hearing aids are significantly larger with standard hearing aid batteries being larger than airpods themselves,

No, they're not. My dad has hearing aids and they are about the same size as an airpod.

For reference, this is close to, but not the same as, what he has. This shows the size of the various airpod models. They are not "significantly larger" than a hearing aid, and in fact are nearly identical in size.

Like seriously that is an insanely ignorant example. Cheese also contains calcium so what excuse does chalk have for not being used as a sandwich topping?

Yes, your example is insanely ignorant. Cheese is a food. Chalk is not.

This will continue until consumers fight back.

Simple solution: don't buy tickets

Oh right, that's too simple. It will never be done.
