This boom will go bust, because most of it is worthless. Then it will be bailed out by governments.

It will be the greatest transfer of wealth from the average citizen in the history of humans, and future historians will remember this primarily as a scam and theft

Flock is the lightning rod; and everything I have noticed about American politics tells me the grassroots are incapable of fighting a cluster of companies offering similar services: each having a complicated back story to understand.

American grassroot movements need a recognizable target

That it, I’m leaving

Almost like false advertising

This iconic and morally upstanding character is being too harshly treated here; there are a few scenes that could be seen as morally iffy. As a consequence, I am writing my local politician.

If this happens a second time I will call the police.

I know the USA media talks about slights to their military like one promises candy to sad children.

But even in the more rational publications like this, there are lines the writers and editors dare not cross. And it shows.

Here is a war criminal who should be promptly arrested; and the whole article is how he lied about this one thing.

This man has uttered dozens, hundreds, over a thousand lies recorded in the public record; and is directly responsible for hundreds of murders and thousands of lesser war crimes

Human evolution was messy, with hundreds of sub groups that sometimes had descendants in dozens of other groups. And some of those groups looped back. And, we only have a few partial snapshots at random times and places.

Less a family tree, and more a bbq gathering

co-developed a deep learning framework that completes missing and under-mapped flood hazard zones across the contiguous United States.

An unfortunate title that implies this is to be not trusted, but this is not AI as in grok

They are too big to not be bailed out; the loss absolutely will be a millstone around the budget for over a generation. This will cause a lot of suffering and make the rich richer and the majority of us much poorer

Edit: I was predicting what would happen, not what should happen. It’s very easy to state what the corrupted government will do. I in no way support what is surly inevitable by the wicked ones

I agree with mastodon, even though eventually Texas will enact similar legislation forcing me to use a vpn to read it

In related news, doctors were amazed they kept pulling books and scrolls from the body, placed there by the bullets.

“It’s amazing” said the orange as quoted by the wsj, “apparently books like this can kill. I’m sure he could have survived the wound without the additional poisoning.”

In response to this, reaction forces were posed to raid the libraries of all elementary schools within the washington dc area

There are a lot of people wealthy enough to be comfortable and safe , and are grateful for it. But, have no desire to control others or amass power. Normal people.

Just because:

A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.

Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

There are other studies using humans, see https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/erythritol-cardiovascular-events

This sugar substitute is going to be the asbestos of sweeteners in the next few decades. And I find it remarkable it is in so many foods.

We are talking about one of most openly criminal politicians in the USA. He has spent decades stealing from Texas. He just does not get paid in money to his bank accounts.

His total worth must be north of a billion dollars, given how long he has been in power. It’s distributed across family and hidden in dozens of ways.

Another study that proves water is wet

I’ve been watching this clock for 40 years, also watched it get enshitified the last 20 years.

It has always been a symbol of empire, run by many the same fools who enabled the madness. But the revolving door and who contributes got worse since the 1990s. And it’s just some thing now.

They may be wrong or correct, who am I to know. But not to be relied on, I think

Suppressing evidence? Looks like this was a deliberate oversight to later erase data.

Probably data retention safety was overruled earlier by one person.

So, I think the designed erase worked as designed .

The open source developers should unionize against the large corporations not paying them. A virtual picket line, and collective bargaining

I use templeOS btw
