One of the talking heads on one of those business news shows summed up the theory about lowering interests rates as "it's like burning down the house to cook a steak."

There's no plan here, it's just a deranged old man surrounded by sycophants doing all of the things people previously told him wouldn't work.

It doesn't cost $8 per copy to manufacture. I can get a writable 64GB SD card delivered to my door for less than that. And a plastic case is pennies to manufacture.

It's more about preventing people from trading or selling games with other people after they've finished playing them.

He purchased the sword which resulted in a trade deficit so he started imposing tariffs.

They don't know enough about the world to know which ones to remove.

Giving them too much credit. They probably just had ChatGPT do everything.

LLMs are already at the point where they could replace middle management in most places. Of course that's more of a reflection on how poor middle management is, not how good LLMs are.

And yeah the C-suite probably could be replaced too. Yeah the LLMs will hallucinate and make terrible decisions sometimes, but that's not different than what the C-suite is already.

Wanting to replace skilled labour with AI is proof of that. They don't know enough about what their employees do if they think an AI will work as a replacement. But if they can mange employees with an inaccurate understanding of what they do, then an AI with a inaccurate understanding of what employees could replace that manager.

I always liked the suggestion that biggest problem wasn't actually the machines themselves, it was humans letting the machines think for them. We're seeing a lot of that happening now.

You're just encouraging me to refer to women as "females" with this.

I've always thought of it as Ethernet is the protocol, maybe even the cable (but Cat5/6 would be more accurate for this), while RJ45 is the plastic connector at the end of the cable. You could have a telephone use an RJ45 connector, but it wouldn't be an ethernet port it's being plugged into. Unless it's an IP phone and it actually does used ethernet protocols and cables I guess.

But yeah if you're using different connectors I guess you'd have to specify it's an RJ45 ethernet port. But I've never seen an ethernet port use anything other than RJ45, so if someone is just saying "ethernet port" we can probably assume it's RJ45.

Classification aside, is it really too much to expect her to know the difference between work related vs private communication?

There can be information that's classified, then a reporter finds out about it and it gets printed in the NY Times. But that information is still classified. So you can simultaneously be discussing something that's public knowledge and also classified.

But you're upset about things like that happening because you were on active duty and probably getting Fox News blasted at you 24/7 in the mess hall and you got suckered by it. You don't want to admit you're a sucker (as your President says you are), so you're going to go on pretending that you have some special knowledge that no one else has.

Hilary Clinton is a smart woman and Trump and his gang are a bunch of morons. Your country is fucked and it's not going to get any better until y'all can start admitting that you got scammed.

a casting for a prosthetic made over 40 years ago was used to recreate the image of Peter Cushing so that he could appear as Grand Moff Tarkin again.

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

In the end it was really creepy to have a dead person have so much screen time in a movie.

Common sense plan to axe the climate!

Yeah there's no better reason to use jury nullification than when government wants to kill a guy for political reasons.

Montenegro, I think.

A weather report can be classified. Something that's been published in the NY Times might be classified.

Something the Secretary of State writes themselves might be classified. Even saying "I was talking to Prime Minster whoever last week" could be classified even when there's a photo of the Sec State standing next that Prime Minister on the front page of that country's biggest newspaper.

There is no risk if someone stamps something innocuous as classified, but there's hell to pay if something that's sensitive doesn't get stamped classified. So a lot of shit is labelled classified when it doesn't need to be.

Not all classified information is about a military operation that's set to kick off in a few hours.

Hillary Clinton was very thoroughly investigated and the classified information was a big nothing-burger. Or do you honestly believe the Trump administration gave her a pass because they're benevolent?

running her own shady-ass server away from the prying eyes of FOIA

It's illegal to use government property for campaign purposes. Obviously Clinton was working towards a presidential campaign (she was working towards it her entire life) so the laws necessitated her to have emails related to that not be on a government server (government property).

Sorry, Hilary's emails wasn't anything. You were just told that over and over again until it started to sound like there might be something to it. But it was nothing.

You might be on to something. Might be angling for the Andrew Tate treatment from the Trump regime. Probably will renounce her Canadian citizenship and get a job on Fox News.

I assure you that I'm Canadian and I say Donald Trump is a miserable cunt all the time. Because he is.

Some people are cunts. Some cunts are men and some cunts are women. Both Pierre Pollievre and Danielle Smith are cunts. They're miserable people that never say anything positive and seem to derive joy from fucking things up for everyone. They're miserable cunts.

Yeah, if the pro-Palestinian movement was a non-violent resistance movement I'd be on board 100%. But unfortunately that's not what it is.

Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai is someone we should support, someone who wanted peace. But he's dead now and those who claim to want peace for Palestine seem to want to erase him from existence. He was inconvenient to their narrative so they will pretend he didn't exist.

How can someone claim to be to be pro-Palestinian if they have no empathy for Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai, a Palestinian that wanted there to be an end to this war? It doesn't seem like a pro-Palestinian movement to me, it just looks like an anti-Israel movement.

Have you seen a photo of what tanks in combat look like these days? They have cages welded on top of them. Also the hatches can be closed. A lot of tankers like to have the hatch open so the commander can have have more visibility, but it's not a necessity.

There have been ways to take out a tank with missiles for a long time now. The reason why they're still used is that air defenses exist and nothing beats the cost efficiency of moving a big gun close to the enemy and firing a lot of cheap ammunition at them.

Also are you going to tell civilians they can move back into their towns based solely on drones? If the civilians are behind a bunch of tanks, they're safe because the drones will go after the tanks before going after the civilians. You need soldiers to hold ground. A soldier in a tank is going to be harder for a drone to kill than a soldier that's not in a tank.

Yes drones are effective, but drones can't hold ground and keep civilians safe.

We all hope for peace, but some of us understand that Hamas is incompatible with peace.
