Ridiculous idea. Instead, we should build our mighty datacentres in the chilly ocean of the ice moon Europa, which contains twice as much water as all the world’s oceans combined. By the time the waste heat turns the ice-moon into a water moon, then a steam-moon, we’ll have built up enough compute to compute new ice-moons into existence from scratch

it’s easy, if you take a spiritual practice from another culture and turn it into a self-help/“wellness” practice, you’re a hitler. Sorry, I don’t make the rules

nato is a heckin’ epic defensive alliance that is completely isolated from either its own actions or the actions of its members. it is an ideal, a pure monad representing the defence of the free world against authoritarianism. the “free world” is also a pure monad that has nothing to do with the actions of any of its members.

That too. I went from a 1998 sedan to a 2010 hatchback, and the latter feels like it has good visibility because of the tall window, but the A-pillar will block pedestrians in the crosswalk, and even mask whole cars. I have to bob my head around from side to side to be confident I’m not about to hit something while turning.

I love America and its vassals. It was based when they ruined Libya and turned it into a slave state. Imperialism ftw

My understanding is that it has to do with updated rollover safety requirements that came in in the mid-late 2000s. They have to be able to support something like 2.5 times their weight on the roof, making all of the pillars thicker. Combined with additional overall weight from other crash regulations, this means that A-pillars are yet bigger. Cars have become much safer for occupants at the expense of safety for pedestrians, who are not part of the equation as pedestrians are subhuman.

You can always find collaborators. There were even some in Gaza, though they have thankfully been liquidated

Oh yes he did. The President of the United States is also the President of America’s vassals.

Say what you will about Germany, but it’s a real country. It’ll go down more like Rhodesia - the colonists will start to flee when they see the writing on the wall.

I have heard it theorized that there would be a huge increase in “accidents” following the cessation of the war, in order to launder the casualties. You never know…

We should be building the Gordie Howe underground ballistic missile complex instead

An automated factory employing machine learning algorithms is very different from an LLM chatbot. They both get lumped together as “AI” (which doesn’t exist), but machine learning is actually useful

e: to get more specific, machine learning “AI” does things like predict how molecules will bind to proteins, for purposes of creating novel pharmaceuticals or whatever. a far cry from “@grok is this real”

It is. They’re definitely getting better, and that’s not to say they were “bad” in the first place, just not as good as the multi-year vets from the Ukraine war.

I saw that one! His only mistake was coming in low - the propeller wash blew the drone off course. If he came in from the top it would have been sucked right down into the rotors and killed the chopper. It can serve as a lesson for the next time

GPScels cope and seethe, unguided projectile and mapchads stay winning

One thing I’ve noticed about the Hezbollah guys is that they tend to go in a little too fast. You gotta slow down a little, take your time to get it right on the money

I shall have to look into this further

They seem to really hate the democrats, but I’m open to whatever. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ah! You’re from any given Canadian large city I see

I don’t think Chapo has had any ads. Cum town did but they made it very apparent that they were not beholden to blue chew, and certainly not thursday boots
