The problem I find is even when I genuinely try to do this their reasoning is genuinely incomprehensible to me, these people don’t care about what they can see with their own eyes let alone scientific concensus, its a world view with more basis on how they feel inside their own heads than whats hitting them in the face in real life.

Thats gotta be some organized crime thing, I mean the essence of a casino is convincing a bunch of people to gamble in a way where its possible that none of them win in which case you get all the money.

Nah linux bullshit is more along the lines of, the install keeps failing and the error message tells you nothing but after a couple of hours of trying different solutions it turns out you needed to re-name one file in the setup to a slightly different name.

To make a long post short, windows is shitty but its setup bullshit is very straight forward and clear to deal with, linux is great when it works but its setup bullshit is byzantine as all hell. I got Linux working with only light bullshit on a laptop but just gave up entierly after 3 days of trying to get different distros at different advice working on my desktop.

Well the Russia report described russian money as not just accepted but ‘welcomed with open arms’ in the UK so really this is just russian ship in the waters of the country they purchased.

On the bright side with much of the world ramping up renewables for various economic and defense purposes we might see the US and Russia fuck themselves up over oil just in time for the market to collapse.

Even a genuinely perfect model would immediately skew to bias; the moment some statistical fluke gets incorporated into the training data that becomes self re-enforcing and it’ll create and then re-enforce that bias in a feedback loop.

The Unmentionables?

How about faces the same punishment someone that isn’t an incredibly rich corporation would face? If that’s insurance then sure, if thats jail time then yes someoen should be punished just like anyone else would.

Did anyone vote for anyone else? my understanding is american primaries (and everything except the presidential election) are more or less ignored.

I’d say leftist turnout perfectly matches leftist representation on the ballot.

Strongman bullshit of course? The reason we stopped testing these things in the first place is because the US and USSR both realised at pretty much the same time after the first couple of hydrogen bomb tests that you can basically nest stages indefinetaly for exponentially higher yields. The escalating tests had to stop for the sake of not fucking everything by setting off devices in the hundreds of megaton to gigaton range. (Also larger devices get less efficient surface coverage than just using multiple smaller bombs.)

Their main issue is being antisocial jerks, they don’t co-operate so they can’t share knowledge and the females die careing for the eggs (which again they might not if they worked together) so they can’t pass anything onto their young either. The jerk part is they also eat eachother sometimes.

You can if you don’t use gmail, or sign up for one without 2FA, the trick is going to be getting anyone to believe you’re stucko n a desert island.

Dies after 6 hours of trying to make an online phone call via various websites and constantly getting stuck because they want an excessive amount of personal data that I don’t have on hand with me on the island. The laptop had an 8 hour battery but beating myself to death with a coconut just seems preferable by that point.

But batteries consistently improve year on year, we just keep increasing the demand of our devices in lockstep because 10% more powerful! markets much better than 10% more battery life.

On the upside pluto being classified as a dwarf planet is what of what got ceres promoted out of asteroid and into dwarf planet, and now its turning out to be super interesting with potential subsurface ice and possibly being the core remnant of a failed planet that was torn apart by jupiter before it could fully form.

Yeh but his punishment was a huge mansion and multi millionare for life so he’s still royalty for all functional purposes.

Already 4 here, anywhere not on the coast is in a valley so the functional susnet is even earlier.

Yeh but now its open season, every fuckwit with a gun and a couple of friends can start hunting people down without even needing to pretend to be ICE and even get paid for it.
