Not sure what the canon says, but it really seems like blaster bolts travel considerably more slowly than a high power rifle bullet, so I’d still pick the slug thrower.

I am hopeful that we might get a progressive. That’s why the DNC didn’t want a real primary, it’s what the people want.

The US could cut its arsenal by 90% and still have nothing to fear from anyone. That shit isn’t for defense it’s to threaten the rest of the world.

Cops are doing this in the US too.

Because the vast majority of Western nations (including the US) consider it to be a war crime to deliberately make a military strike against survivors of an attack that pose no active threat.

Even that assumes that the original strike has military merit in the first place, which isn’t really the case when they are blowing up unarmed boats that might or might not be carrying drugs.

I guess some of these people expect to still be around in a couple years when there is a new administration that might feel like it’s a good idea to prosecute people for crimes they committed for trump.

Seriously. i get ignoring zoning and permitting because fuck everyone else, but skipping CODE requirements just means your building fucking sucks.

My stepson works for Costco. They are a fantastic employer compared to other retailers. They also do legitimately promote from within, including for business office professional positions.

Sure, but if I built a 14 inch demo saw with no guard and got the government to give me permission to give it to kindergartners and then got everyone’s boss to REQUIRE theie workers to use it for everything from slicing sandwiches to open heart surgery, I think you might agree that it’s a problem.

Oh yeah, also it takes like 20% of the worlds energy to run these saws, and I got the biggest manufacturer of knives and regular saws to just stop selling everything but my 14 inch demolition saw.

Not safe for Troi.

Its not really the ads that are the signal so much as the fact that they are slapping ads onto it BEFORE it has developed enough to actually be a useful product. They have direct competition that is not ad supported and they just “aren’t there yet” in terms of making a product that everyone feels like they need to engage with regardless of ads. Slapping ads on something before its actually demonstrated the ability to succeed as a product is just rolling the dice to see if it makes money magically appear. Its desperation.

Jesus, They really just need to start over.

that is precisely the goal here.

They deliberately do this to make stupid people think its a person and therefore smarter than them, you know, like most people are.

And then they integrate that solution back into the operating system so that its all just as exposed as if it were locally stored anyways.

Oh no, I am going to get left behind by not letting a machine capable of writing a solid B- middle school term paper do my job for me.

That’s exactly the problem. People who are too stupid to see that AI is actually pretty bad at everything it does think its a fucking genius and they wonder why we still pay people to do stuff. Sadly a LOT of stupid people are in positions of authority in our world.

I dropped them back when they started throwing money at Joe Rogan. That told me everything I needed to know about them.

What roms does Apple let you install on iPhones?
