Easy enough to do with PowerShell and just leaving the box running.

Yeah man, that Thomas Jefferson guy was a real unhinged fuckwad.

What country before ever existed a century & a half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Nearly all land near small runways and airports that fly planes using AvGas will have lead contamination. That’s because lead is still used in most aviation fuels a consumer plane would use. Runways are also required to have and use PFAS in firefighting foam for emergencies. Training and system tests will dump that stuff in the surrounding area.

Unless these fine folks have A380s they’re paying a hefty premium for lead exposure and PFAS in their water and soil.

I get the skepticism, but where’s the profit in using NaCl as a catalyst in pyrolysis? If anything they’d be pushing a new and exotic catalyst that they can own a patent on.

I hope this is as successful in the field as it is in the lab. We have a massive global plastic problem and anything that can help is needed.

He’s so wealthy he could personally go to your neighborhood and “Mansa Musa” your place into inflation. He could just drop $10,000,000 per person to get up and leave whatever square mile surrounding your residence right now.

Assuming avg population density for a city in the US that’s only $2.8billion (~280 ppl/mile in cities). Not even a scratch to his total net worth.

A single person with that much wealth and power doesn’t require any attention to retain it. He’ll keep coming out on top because it’s nearly impossible not to when you reach a large enough number.

Most people with jobs do have to open office documents frequently.

A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.

WTF why? Do XCode devs not use their own product or something???

Supposedly they have experts and think tanks at their disposal to help them in these sorts of endeavours, for what?

Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.

In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.

Stupid woke coral is just trying to interfere with the election season! Of course it happened in Florida, wake up sheeple!

That’s…worse in a lot of ways. Mercury compounds are way way fucking bad and are even more dangerous than “just” straight elemental mercury.

Typically as a vapor, even. And it has a fairly low vapor pressure for a liquid. Not even that much vapor is needed.

It’s an immense amount of liquid mercury - especially since it probably had organic compounds in it too. Bioavailable mercury is truly fucked stuff, and those responsible for this should live the rest of their lives in a chemical shed.

“We had authors and artists, but AI is so much more efficient they’re unnecessary.”

LLMs are coming for artistic and creative functions first. Is human creativity and artistry unnecessary?

Historically automation was on rote/repetitive tasks. This is a bit different.

Who, other than a kid in school, would willingly spend time with someone who “holds shit over your head”?

When that person is your parent. We don’t all get to choose nice and supporting families.

My mother would do that. I don’t tell her anything beyond how the weather is anymore.

Is something wrong with Gorillaz now? Demon Days was the shit.

Deloitte staff don’t act totally dead inside (from my experience). EY staff, though, act like they’ve looked inside the abyss and it stared right back at them. That place must be one soulless meat grinder of a business factory.

Japan is almost uniquely bad though. A super aged population and a society that values conformance over anything else results in agonizingly slow and absurd government reactions.

They need 4 committee meetings each morning just to drink tea: one for to pick the teams, one team meeting to pick the tea, and another team meeting to pick the cup. There’s a final meeting at the end to discuss the costs associated with the tea and how to more properly distribute it according to rank and social standing, as one does.

They don’t need to sell to realize gains - they take out loans against the stock value from banks for almost no interest. If they choose to, they could get large amounts of that paper gain in liquid cash through just a handful of steps.

But I thought millions of people depended on the communities involved and that’s why they had to reopen.

Doesn’t banning the community just fully go against their stated reasoning?

Is TruthSocial just not up your alley?

Cows can be raped?

Do we send cow rapists to cow jail? If a cow is in a field with a bull, do we arrest the bull pre- or post- mount?
