The Iran government are wold-class-bastards and thinking that they're one iota more trustworthy than Washington or Tel Aviv is madness. If they're telling the truth, that's incidental to the truth serving their momentary interest.

If Tehran says water is wet, the sky is blue, or Trump is lying, it's worthwhile to double-check

This isn't a weapon, and probably won't work as intended either.

"Space lasers" don't work over long distances because the light spreads out. (inverse square law) A pinpoint laser is almost 2m wide when pointed at a low flying aircraft.

Increasing intensity doesn't work because you'll need a) a Dyson sphere level of energy input. or b) a mirror big enough to occupy a significant fraction of our orbit.

This is just "data center in space" fiction

without needing a third party to trust

OMG! Even after the POTUS stole billions from you, crypto-bros still think a bloated spreadsheet program can protect you from the government.

The only people who understand crypto are the ones who don't use it, and criminals.

Is Israel and Zionism not bad enough in reality that you have to write an Oliver Stone script to jazz it up? Is genocide too boring?

It's not like the regular numbers behave themselves. Have you ever heard a coherent, non-self referential definition of the number 3?

Has Rand Paul ever gotten a cold? He must have only done so once and now has lifetime immunity.

I remember the time I got the flu. Boy was it awful, but I'm so glad I can't ever get it again.

If you pay attention, there are only three humans in this picture, each duplicated. We know AI is fascist because it failed art school.

Also air traffic control and commercial aviation radio communication are in English, worldwide.

Socialism n.

only responds to their investors...

Did you know this is legally enforceable? The shareholders can sue a publicly company if it doesn't prioritize 'shareholder value'. For example a company that cut profit instead of doing layoffs.

It's not spoiled leadership, but a rotten ecosystem that breeds amphibian avarice as the dominant culture.

It's gross when I agree with Reason magazine. I'm going to take a shower.

 

To be fair, General Grant would work here just as well. The notorious corruption in his administration weakened Republicans and thus reconstruction. But don't worry, everybody got away with everything.

 
 

I'm installing an AMD video card into a Catchy OS system that's been running Nvidia. Both are discrete cards.

What should I expect? Obviously I'll have to uninstall the Nvidia stuff. Should I do that before installing the new card?

 

I suppose people are waiting to see if a prominent person is accused. Or maybe for accusations that are outrageous.

The stupidest thing about conspiracy theories is that they often assume that if "the public only knew" then something would change. "The public" doesn't give a fuck.

My opinion is that people just wanted to lock up Trump (or Clinton), and all the raped little girls are beside the point.

 

Has any artist in history rode a hit single longer than Greenwood? There are more people that know Greenwood personally than their are people who can name two songs he sings.

 

Representation is important, even if it's phony.
