This kind of comment is why I'm on Lemmy. I abhor the policy of the US to support Israel without question, and feel that Biden has let the world down by not calling out the crimes being committed now. But I hadn't considered how this might be used by Republican supporters to divide Democratic support. It sure makes sense. Thanks for posting this viewpoint.

That or a more elaborate sticker/photo taped far enough away so the camera may focus on it. Maybe an image of Alfred E. Neuman? Or some kind of FU meme?

Why would someone assert that there are only these two options? It's a false dilemma.

'It will be commercially available in 10 years!" - we were told 10 years ago, and 10 years before that.

That and doxing a national security journalist. Newsweek used to be considered a decent news source.

I wonder if its LLM got poisoned. Was it Nightshade or Glaze that promised to do that?

Thanks for that. So the next few days will be interesting. My guess is he'll wait until nearly the last day to file an appeal - to drag proceedings out as much as possible.

“There’s nothing that we have sent since Oct. 7 that has contributed to this brutality,” she said.

'Not sure about that but absolutely the US has done nothing to stop it.

The article didn't mention anything about a time frame? So when might this happen? Before the appeal is heard maybe?

Maybe yet one more Volvo?

"... in 1974, the Swedish government agreed to send over $70 million in heavy machinery to the satellite state, along with that batch of 1,000 Volvo 144 sedans to serve as taxis. A year later, with economic ties deepening between the two countries, Sweden became the first Western nation to open an embassy in Pyongyang.

Unfortunately, the good times wouldn't last. North Korea's economy began to falter soon after, and though Sweden has maintained diplomatic relations with the country—much to the benefit of detained American citizens—the Hermit Kingdom never actually paid for all those Volvos..."

Well, yeah the government itself, would be fair. The Treasury Department maybe?

We have to dream before we can make it a reality.

Sure, if the government gets Intel stock in exchange.

There's an interesting book that goes into these issues...

Kiln People is a 2002 science fiction novel by American writer David Brin

The novel takes place in a future in which people can create clay duplicates (called "dittos" or golems) of themselves. A ditto retains all of the archetype's memories up until the time of duplication. The duplicate lasts only about a day, and the original person (referred to in the book as an archie, from "archetype", or "rig", from "original") can then choose whether or not to upload the ditto's memories. Most dittos want to inload, so that their experience will be continuous with that of their archie.

My wife and I joke about how we could really use a "grey" some days.

No idea about your evaporation question, but I've had success at removing lime deposits by using baking soda. It takes a little patience and scrubbing, but does work.

For me the referenced Barron's article shows no social media pictures. You're seeing some there?

Yeah, I was going to comment on this, but you were faster. This is the first time that I've noticed a major media outlet connecting Republicans with Russia. So it's an open secret now?

"..to elect in legal fees to defend her father-in-law"

FTFY

And then the Republicans will have the crisis at the border with Guatemala to campaign on.

So it's a case of "Married to the mob" then?

Unfortunately many "leaders" seem to abide by the saying "Never let a good disaster go to waste."
