Apparently, some people have missed the point. The fake eggshells would allow embryos to be created en masse outside of the birds.

The part about banning prediction markets is a distraction. What they're actually after is VPNs. They want to outlaw your privacy so they can collect your data. This is explicitly a part of the package. They are outlawing VPNs so they can track you down.

Isn't that what Grok is really all about? Generating porn? I can't believe no one else has thought of turning code into erotica before. I'd have to say, this seems to be extremely expensive pornography but, hey, it almost makes SQL work seem appealing, which was previously considered impossible.

You mean, it's likely to be a success, but with the most obvious security flaws in places you'd never imagined they'd pop up. See ANSI keyboard remapping, WMV multimedia files, .DOC files with embedded scripts, and BMP images.

I gather the intent of the privacy law is to make sure that bad drivers are subsidized by good drivers. After all, you shouldn't have to pay higher insurance rates just because you're a road hazard... I guess...

"They are stock is" what?

Anyway, the crash is going to be a doozy, isn't it? What do you think, later this year?

Sweetie, the reason the average lifespan was low was because most of the children died. The adults weren't just suddenly dropping dead at 40.

Schools always walk back any attempts at reform, successful or not, because they're seeking the cheapest possible solutions. Most of the attempts at reforms were harebrained in the first place, but even the ones that work are liable to be thrown into the dumpster. They'll drop the new failing system and return to the old failing system, because success doesn't seem to actually be part of what they're aiming for.

It is painfully obvious that technology is all around us and everybody needs to be familiar with it. Computers are rich and powerful tools. Obviously, you can use a saw either to make a house or cut your toes off, so you need to know enough to avoid doing the latter if you meant to do the former. The fact that some idiots are going to saw their toes off is not a reason to outlaw the use of saws.

Stop being so bloody timid and learn how to use computers without damaging yourself. You can't possibly afford to keep technology out of the classroom. I don't care if your great-grandpa did just fine learning to write on a handheld chalkboard, this is not 1920. If there's any problem with teaching kids how to use computers, it's that keyboards and chunky displays may seem much like chalkboards any decade real soon now.

You're right, games should be kept away from children. Let's just prevent them from doing anything from now on.

Witches, I tell you! And the Bible commands us to murder witches! ...although, come to think of it, it doesn't say a word about screens.

SCREENS ARE WITCHES! ...come to think of it, the Bible also recommends murdering your children if they're disrespectful, so sometimes I wonder about that thing. Still.

WITCHES!

I dunno, that seems like a clueless thing to say. We're talking about psychedelics, here. They certainly do interesting things to your mind but, doing acid just doesn't seem remotely similar to smoking a joint or shooting up in search of the warm fuzzy-buzzies that constitute a "high". Psychedelics are not recreational in the same sense.

So, are these actually intended for serious use? Who buys keyboards without numpads, except for the retro kiddies with their custom mechanical keyboards?

This is a squalid scam and we'll see a few "exceptions" carved out shortly.

Do you really live somewhere far from any charger stations? This sounds unlikely.

And that's why we still don't have computers, and never will.
