Using AI to cook up some fake actors as of a couple years ago.

Y2K wasn't that bad because a billion engineers saw it coming and prepared accordingly. If everyone hadn't been freaking out about it for years beforehand things could have gone very differently.

Well it sure as hell didn't work on my Tarnished in Elden Ring proper

🤷 More for the rest of us

Mac Miller - Donald Trump

This was written back in the days that Trump was used as a synonym for "rich" without further context.

It, uh.... it hits a little different now.

R.I.P. Mac, I'm glad you didn't have to defend this later in life.

Today OP is learning about a "local floor"

This is also the same sort of thing that brings us the terrifying concept of False Vacuum Decay

So where do you see "the people" celebrating the win and resting?

Are these people in the room with us right now?

It is, yes.

Uh, conservatives do. This is not a joke, or a "dunk", this shit really happened.

I'm an auto mechanic, honestly like 80% of the things I touch every day could kill most things if applied properly.

Thinking about reach and convenience from my toolbox, I'm thinking the 5' steel prybar (effectively a 10 lb baseball bat with a sharp tip) or the cv axle I took out earlier. Honorable mention to one of a variety of possible chemical attacks or just straight up dropping a car on it.

This is going to probably sound like a stupid idea, but I mean this earnestly:

Can we just make Internet 2? Just a new underlying protocol with less restrictive browser requirements, sure you might need to use Chrome to log in to your bank, but we could just host everything else on the fedinet. Just like back in the old days, webrings hosted on closet servers and rented racks.

Google didn't build the internet so why do they have so much clout about how it's run? We can just start over again with self hosting. This time we even have all the knowledge we gained from already doing it the first time. I'm picturing an entire second layer of internet unlinked with the first one. Kind of like onion sites I guess, the more I think about this the more I'm realizing that the tor network is probably exactly what I'm talking about. Just that, but instead of hosting pirated content or weird porn or bitcoin assassins it's just a low stakes noncorporate internet protocol. You probably won't want to do a lot of transactions on it, but social media or personal websites or video hosting would probably be fine.

This is the correct answer

There is actually a legal difference between the two and it's often abused for fuckery in Congress

Also not a lawyer.

This legal doctrine is called Fruit of the Poisonous Tree and there are specific exceptions that can be made for it. According to its wikipedia page:

The doctrine is subject to four main exceptions.[citation needed] The tainted evidence is admissible if:

it was discovered in part as a result of an independent, untainted source; or

it would inevitably have been discovered despite the tainted source; or

the chain of causation between the illegal action and the tainted evidence is too attenuated; or

the search warrant was not found to be valid based on probable cause, but was executed by government agents in good faith (called the good-faith exception).

That said though, half this page is appended with [Citation Needed] so I maybe wouldn't take that as gospel.

I imagine it would then present you with an unusable vehicle.

I've never considered what a shitload of silica gel would do inside a gas tank.... It can't be anything good, but I doubt it would get past the fuel filter. The vehicle probably won't run but the fix isn't super difficult, just a new fuel tank + pump and you're good to go.

Pouring it into the oil intake would have much more interesting results but you aren't getting in there unless a) you have cab access to pop the hood latch, or b) you're willing and able to destroy so much of the vehicle to access that that whatever you do afterward starts to not even matter.

The fact that we have incompetent evil instead of competent evil is what keeps me getting up to face the day in the morning. These guys having an IQ that could freeze nitrogen means that we, the people, have a slim chance to avoid total annihilation. It could be very much worse than it is.

This way adds the additional danger vector of traumatic brain injury due to repeated and forceful facepalming, but I'd rather that over intelligent evil in the white house. The one saving grace of Trump & Co is that they're all dumb as a box of rocks and are incapable of flexing their power fully. I'm upset that the president of the USA is retarded, but I'm thankful that this president in particular is the retarded one.

Point taken, but this isn't just a "covfefe moment" though. This is newsworthy because Trump just obliterated half of all money in Hollywood. Gone, reduced to atoms.

Culture is one of the main things that the US exports across the world, and this puts a big old smoking hole in our feet in that regard. This will have tangible repercussions.

Yes, but, how does one actually develop "a good bullshit detector"? We all think we have one of those. Especially people who don't. And thinking that when it's not true is the hook, line and sinker that gets people deeply into dangerous conspiracies.
