Because "AI"!

That's all the justification needed until the possible AI implosion.

Savages? What? Excuse me? Racist much? Hey, could you give us your opinion on people from India? Or tasmanian aboriginies? Or the Jews? Enlighten us! Once upon a time you'd be at -1 flamebait. But I guess it's true if you don't kick out the natzees your bar becomes a natzee bar, too. And while you're at it tell us about slt right hero and Googler James Damore, too. Go read his famous anti diversity screed again, you'd love it.

If you're going to attempt something outrageous that is almost certain to fail, why not a Space Elevator? On the off-chance you do succeed, that would be a hell of a lot more valuable.

The problem with the Line and other such products is not that it is impossible to build, but it is an incredibly bad design. Someone came up with an image, then they decided to go with it, rather than thinking about what was needed and what the advantages of it.

A circle would have cut the travel time significantly between all locations. It would have enclosed an internal area that would have significant environmental and electrical benefits. A simple railroad could have connected circle with the other end of the "Line".

But no, someone in power thought "Line" and they planned around that. They figured out how to do it and told him it was possible. Then they calculated the total cost which was immense. But when the boss found out what he wanted was so expensive, he decided to make changes.

It may never get build the way he originally designed it - mainly because he was not a trained designer. He was a rich guy that thought is this possible rather than is this a good idea?

That 1.7%+ fee found in North America?

In France it is 0.4% - at the most. Sometimes it is as low as 0.2%

Not a type. Less than 1/4 of the amount North America pays.

No, they do not have the 1% cashback crap. But why would you want to pay 1% more now to MAYBE get 1% back later?

Cause you are paying that 1% more now.

Hasn't the UK been doing this for years? Levying a fee based on total distance of your journey?

A baby in a cradle is the wrong analogy -- a better analogy is an internal organ inside a body. Yes, you can (with advanced technology and at great expense) remove the internal organ from the body and keep it alive externally for some time, but it's going to be unpleasant for everyone involved, and sooner or later the disembodied organ will wither and die, unless it is returned to the environment it was specifically evolved to live within.

Adsense payments dropped off a cliff. This is why so many websites are laying off staff. Google wants all traffic to stay on its site. Gemini AI (yes, the one that, when asked to draw Scottish people, drew only Blacks and then asked to draw a group of diverse people also drew only Blacks.

What do you need to click through to a website for? Those can contain dangerous information like warning people not to take the COVID-19 vaccine. That disease is still out there and still dangerous. Get your boosters, everyone!

No; it's absolutely a terrible idea. It may be great for the businesses; but, it's absolutely fucking terrible for the consumer.

This is absolutely fucking insanity. Imagine having to carry 6 different cards and wondering which one a particular store is going to take.

The new stuff is under copyright.

The word you are looking for is "Sarcastic", not performative.
In general, whenever you think "performative" on the internet, replace with sarcastic. They are almost identical, except for the intended insult.

But I do understand that sarcasm is hard to express on the internet. You did not see my massive eye roll while typing.

Does the baby not get citizenship? Is the baby killed?

Or do all the penalties form on the doctors and parents that did it.

Technically Judges cannot do that directly. Instead the procedure is:
1) Report to Bar
2) Have a Hearing by the Bar
3) The bar can decide to take their license for X amount of time.

But I do agree that is what the Judges should be doing.

The judges can however hold anyone in contempt of court for any reason at any time. Do not even have to be in court. You can appeal it, but as long as the Judge was somewhere near reasonable, you will not succeed.

If however the Judge does something like hold the Umpire at his kid's baseball game in Contempt, then yes you will almost certainly win the appeal.

This means you
