True. It’s funny how fascists have no eye for art and their mark on the world is always ugly af too.

No doubt why they love AI so much.

I think if he leaves office by dying it would help his legacy since obviously he’ll be kicking and screaming otherwise

President who has been cucked by Hezbollah positions himself limply on the side of the invaders. Let’s see how that goes for him.

Why would they be derailing talks if they were simply putting it off until the US feels the economic effects back home? They have already done enough damage to put US consumers on wait lists for gas. How would it benefit Iran to negotiate on pre-emptying of the reserves terms?

I think unfortunately this would open the door for bad actors too. Taking old outdated phone batteries and combining them would allow for some crazy things that could do mass harm. Even smoke detectors with Americium can be gathered and dissected to radiate a small neighborhood or inact terrorism. Additional reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn

The whole story of why we use Americium in detectors is an interesting one in itself. https://youtu.be/DuAeaIcAXtg one of my favorite long form nerdy youtube channels.

Doesn’t really make sense even to users. They would shrink the battery to a small fraction of its original side, market it as the world’s lightest and thinnest phone, with 4x the battery life of a normal phone. Then they’d have some other products of a bigger battery version for emergency red phones.

Beyond just companies wanting to turn a buck, there’s other more obvious limitations. The bands to communicate with the tower require physical antennas inside the phone and those frequencies are recycled over time to different protocols or sometimes different uses entirely. It would be useless as a phone before it’s dead.

Also the whole thing about energy density. Current lithium ballpark density is 250 Wh per kg. Taking a modern galaxy 5000mah (19.4wh) battery and multiplying it by your chosen ratio of 10 hours vs a hypothetical 876000 makes it 21,900,000Wh per Kg, still less dense than fusion energy, which is around 24,000,000,000Wh per kg but very close to fission energy density, which is around 24,000,000 Wh. Of the Uranium that actually fissioned during the Little Boy bomb explosion, it only amounted to about 0.8763kg, less energy than a kilogram of your hypothetical battery. I guess luckily batteries only weigh about 50 grams? The factory making them would have more bomb potential than the Beirut explosion if they had more than 47.5 kg of batteries, or enough to make 950 phones.

As an aside, I can’t believe how big the Beirut explosion was, 1GWh. Insane and horrifying.

Doesn’t really need to be alleged when it was recorded by a prominent Israeli politician and posted to social media.

Yeah, you’re right. The formalization of electoral victory isn’t the the final step, it’s the swearing in on the 20th or 21st if the 20th is a sunday.

Technically if he doesn’t croak or move to Israel with all of his stolen government money he’ll be in office until Jan 6th, 2029.

I know it already is but should it be?

BDS would seem to suggest otherwise. We care less about actual hatred than criticisms of our ethnostate agendas, but it’s through the perceived hatred that cry-bullies thrive. Hate speech laws only make their bullying more effective. Look at Palestinian action in the UK. The lack of these laws protect us more than they would help our political rivals, who would love to see them pass. Billionaires can give a Nazi salute at CPAC with virtually no consequences and no laws were unanimously passed to provide those consequences, whereas BDS was widely adopted. TLDR, you can’t trust politicians to tell us what hatred is.

Wowzer, booking.com fucking sucks I guess

The company must report the incident to the DMV within 72 hours, or 24 hours if the officer has designated the incident a priority because of “a clear or potential danger or risk of injury to others,” the regulations said.

Nothing says imminent danger like a 24-72 hour grace period to do something about it.

There needs to be a community, “AI is fucking stupid”

I’ve heard that carbon is not necessarily the best basis for self replicating structures. Silicon is able to form a lot of similarly complex bonds that carbon is with a similar chain of reactions to our own. I don’t know if another life form from the ground up would even have diseases, although I guess cancer is pretty likely in any self replicating system due to cosmic rays. That would make it pretty hard to space travel though, one would expect their repair mechanisms to far excel beyond the durability of our own, which is actually pretty crap and easily confused with symmetrical DNA chains, excessive damage, repeating sequences, etc. There are other animals on earth that have better repair systems in place than us allowing them to live virtually forever, but none are mammals.

I think in the event of war, it would be about as long as the time it takes for us to announce the war until it’s over. The technology to freely planet hop from another solar system is like the large hadron collider vs an ant using a leaf to cross a puddle.

We’d better hope they don’t have healing technology to share with us because he’ll give it to the insurance industry to manage after slapping a few guard rails on it.

Maybe we can all just pretend that Bernie is our leader. It’s a nice thought anyways.

Pretty sure we’d have no communication with the alien that wasn’t just corrupt politicians trying to speak for us to get some sort of trade out of them to increase their own power. It’s too important for any/all normal people to have a voice, and then when the aliens dislike the abhorrent greed we’ll probably just suffer some how more than we already do. I’d say we’re better off not reporting any alien sightings. I would trust almost any human on earth more talking to aliens on my behalf than a so called leader currently. Maybe Ireland, Spain, a handful of others have better than regular Joe leaders, but it’s rare.

In order to be honest you need a Jesus-like or maybe even good Samaritan level of discipline for longer than you’ve probably even wanted to be in politics to avoid the media being able to cut you down, that is if you’re not one of their preferred candidates; which if you’re honest, you’re not.

Zohran is probably as close as I’ve seen to someone who accepts tough questions and responds with honesty. He’s basically a saint though and that’s not very common. Even considering that they’re going after his wife for pretty based stances. Honesty, in short, is not rewarded with our political and media-driven landscape, unless you make them look stupid just by virtue of the nothing burgers they bring to bear. Otherwise you’re better off giving the razzle dazzle and moving on, or lying convincingly and picking and choosing what you admit to like some other good candidates probably do.
