The problem we have on a larger scale is that Hannigan and Bondi should be disbarred, might be disbarred, but would they actually be removed from their positions? The current leadership just doesn’t care about the law, so why would they care about some legal panel trying to enforce the legal system in the first place?

Just leaving this here in case @op needs to check the weather where they are: https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@2016590/ext

No, no it won’t. It never has worked and it never will work to build more lanes, bro. This is just graft to enrich contractors and/or complete malfeasance by the city leadership.

And now we’re surly adults! No goatee anymore, though. They itch too much.

“The Top 100 Things I’d Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord”

Mandatory reading for anyone trying to be an Evil Overlord.

It’s a beauty queen/model turned insurance lawyer who got appointed to the DOJ by being a pretty MAGA nutjob running the prosecution. She’s never run a federal grand jury or trial and is doing very very illegal things along the way.

Yes. All surfing is between your client and the server running the web services.

The problem is that many many companies/developers used cloud services to host their websites. It’s where they out their computers/services that determine the reliance on the big hosting platforms or not. Your client really has no say in the matter.

I use the Internet all the time without cloud platforms, but it’s because I host tools on non cloud systems. Having Cloudflare or AWS down doesn’t affect my own tools because I’m not hosting them on those platforms.

“trust is” says marketing.

Duh. People are finally noticing just how bad it’s gotten. Even the well off middle® class are feeling just how horrible prices in the US have gotten.

You’re sitting on the Chinese Translator problem, and to some extent the basis of the Turing Test (mostly the translator problem).

Knowledge != Intelligence

Regurgitating things you’ve read is only interpolative. You’re only able to reply with things you’ve seen before, never new things. Intelligence is extrapolative. You’re able to generate new ideas or material beyond what has been done before.

So far, the LLM world remains interpolative, even if it reads everything created by others before it.

But they were put in there 14 years ago after they were left alone with him at his mansion.

Some of that footage felt directly out of a Doctor Who Cyberman episode.

Yeah, that’d be way too far. With a 50 minute walking radius from here I could hit about 20 grocery stores. Using the public transit that doubles or triples.

Nah, it’s almost visible from our apartment’s front door. We have to cross one street where traffic really never gets above 15mph and the biggest danger is tripping on one of the tram tracks (did I mention the multiple railed transit routes here as well?).

The first 5-7 Honor Harrington books are a phenomenal read.

Was it a group of well identified law officers with a warrant and identification or a gang of heavily armed, masked, and aggressive people trying abduct someone?

These days we only see the second group and they should be treated as the criminals they’re acting like.

We finally moved to a city with actual local businesses. Bring able to walk 50m to a reasonably priced grocery store is a game changer. It’s so much better than having the weekly 3-4 hour long Costco + WinCo trip to stock up a huge pantry.

It’s the richest country in the history of humanity and all we did with it was oppress other nations, build a massive military, and sell the nation off to the rich. So far it’s not a winning plan for anyone outside of the top 1%. Same shit, bigger piles of gold.
