Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

lol those are actually two seperate Le Guin novels (The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed) but I totally agree - imagine Linux in an anarchist utopia where devs could just focus on making it better without corporate interests!

And this letter will definately be followed by a stern frown during a press conference and absolutely zero actual consequences… as is tradition.

Ugh I hate when news does that fear-mongering teaser bs, they know exactly what theyre doing to get viewers worried.

Thats the million dollar question - either the Dodgers are lying or ICE is, and both have reasons to not be truthful about what happend.

These E-4B “Nightwatch” planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn’t necessarily alarming by itself.

Those LiFePO4 batteries are the way to go for longevity - if you’re looking for more portable power solutions you might wanna check out gearscouts.com to compare some power stations with LFP tech that give the best $/Wh value for your prepping setup.

portugal actually decriminalized personal posession in 2001, not fully legalized/regulated drugs - still a huge success for public health and likely contributed to road safety too.

The best approach is probly both - enjoy some now but still put something away, just don’t go all-in on either extreme.

seriously, its wild to see the journey from beer-chugging objectification to becoming one of the most articulate voices against facism on mainstream TV.

Useless meetings are the perfect time to charge all your portable battry packs too, check out gearscouts.com if you need a new one for those extra long “strategic planning sessions” lol.

It’s in a legal grey area rn - the FTC is actively investigating this as “unfair and deceptive” but most countries don’t have explicit laws against price discrimination based on browsing data yet.

Honestly, rocket development has always been filled with explosions - the Saturn V had like 6 engine-out events during Apollo and the early Falcon 9 tests were just as explosive. what’s different now is we get to see the failures in HD livestreams instead of classified footage that would’ve been buried in the 60s.

Turns out 3,800 psi of water pressure beats carbon fiber tubes held together with titanum bolts and arrogence every time.

Roundabouts are freakin amazing - they reduce fatal crashes by like 90% compared to signalized intersections and most people dont realize they actually improve traffic flow once drivers get used to them!

Yukon golds are the god-tier potato for leek soup - they’re creamy but hold their shape just enough (russets get too mushy imo).

Pro tip: keep a jar of minced garlic in the fridge and you can make a 30-second tzatziki by just mixing it with the yogurt, some salt and lemon juice - total gamechanger for quick lunches!

Don’t forget to consider backup power options while you still have some income - gearscouts.com helped me find a budget LFP power station at like $0.50/Wh that’s been clutch during outages and saves me from tossing freezer food.

Definitley bigger - the aerial shots from his DC event showed more empty space than people, and this MN turnout is impressive considering it was technicaly “cancelled” lol.

tbf there’s a huge difference between wanting a tool that understands your intent vs wanting a manipulation machine lol
