Is it a base within reach of Iranian drones? Pretty please…

“Risk of attack is too great…”

Ah…so the US Navy operates off the same playbook as the Uvalde police department, I see.

Like Bitch, you’re a warship. It’s literally your job to put yourself at risk during a conflict.

Serious question, because I really don’t know. But has there ever been a precedent in any country/city/school board/whatever…, where once someone has been removed from office, their term was completely expunged, as in every decision they made, every appointment, etc… was reversed and the clock reset back to before they took office?

Surely…SURELY…someone in that administration was smart enough to snip the wire in big red button knowing that Trump is a lunatic.

I’m not actually convinced that she actually lost the last one, with Musk’s shenanigans and other jerry-rigging all over the electoral college.

But I generally don’t bother dwelling on conspiracy theories. It is what it is, so we’ll see what happens.

Kamala bad speaker

Kamala had a LOT of issues. But her public speaking talent was not one of them.

I’m not saying she should.

But the “I fucking told you so” campaign strategy might actually be somewhat effective for a certain percentage of swing voters.

Kathryn Bigelow’s most under-rated film is almost upon us…just 30 years later than we thought.

Also…if you haven’t seen that movie…go watch it. It’s low-key one of her best.

Don’t you find that just a tiny bit wrong?

Nope.

I save my empathy for people who actually have empathy of their own.

At this point there is nothing that they could do to make Creation Engine feel “new”. I don’t understand why they keep beating that dead horse.

A couple of months ago, I had some extra money, so I bought Starfield because I had an itch to go back into my Crimson Fleet character.

The problem was that a couple of weeks before that, I had also purchased a game that I had wanted for years, but could never justify spending the high price of new games on, Red Dead Redemption 2. In comparison, Starfield just felt so…lazy… in ways both big and small, beyond the common issues like repetitive dungeons, barren worlds, loading screens, etc…

The biggest thing I noticed immediately was the effect of bumping into people as you’re walking. If you compare a Rockstar Game (Or even an assassin’s creed game), where npcs will make a comment, will move out of the way, get upset, etc… Whereas in Bethesda can’t be bothered to do anything except slide you to the right when bumping into a character, who doesn’t react or flinch in any way.

I started noticing those little things fucking everywhere. And I have to believe that little limitations like that are because it’s running on an engine that is older than dirt.

Life finds a way…if there is a reason to do so.

My point is, once we’ve secured all the resources in the solar system, there is no reason to find a way.

Does alien life exist somewhere? Yes. Absolutely. It would be impossible for it not to given the size of the universe and the laws of probability.

Is that alien life multicellular? Again. Yes. For the same reason as above. In a functionally infinite universe, the roll of the dice is going to come up at least a few times.

Is that alien life intelligent? Maybe. But in my opinion, probably. Intelligent life arose here after many many stops and starts. It’s probably that given enough kicks at the can, multicellular life can evolve intelligence on any planet where it arises if the conditions are right.

Has that intelligent life visited us? No. No intelligent life has ever left their own solar system except possibly in the form or a one-way generation ship.

Life evolves, either biologically or technologically, because of competition for resources. From the most basic amoeba competing for the heat from a steam vent at the bottom of an ocean, to humans competing for oil and minerals, life is about resources gathering.

So what happens when we finally are able to access the resources of the solar system, which are effectively limitless (at least from a human perspective)? Nothing. We stagnate. There’s no impetus to go further than that. Scientists may want to. But pure science is a myth. People paying the bills are what drive us forward. and it’s reasonable to assume that any life that evolves would do so facing the same pressures.

Breezy. Because AsteroidOS and Gadgetbridge.

This is survival of the poorly educated, poorly resourced, poorly connected communities.

Or this is the “find out” moment for a MAGA housewife who spent the last year cheering on RFK Junior and yellilng about the “woke agenda” of pasteurization.

The point is, we don’t know. But since RAW milk is both more expensive AND more inconvenient to obtain, I’m going to go with my theory over a poor mother.

I don’t disagree that they’re incompetent. But in this particular case what they’re doing isn’t incompetent at all. Surely you’ve noticed that anything in there that has Trumps name next to it is all things that couldn’t be corroborated. Or things that couldn’t be followed up on for one reason it another.

They took his name off from anything that was potentially investigated and proven, and left the “she says…” statements that have had no investigative follow-up so they can say “look how honest we are. Yes he’s in there but none of it is actually provable”

Its a greasy, and slimy and frankly pure evil scheme. But its not an incompetent one.

I get that government use needs to be stringently tested for security, and so things take a little longer. But really, there are PLENTY of good FOSS products in existence that can be used as a base framework and a head-start to things like this.

You don’t have to re-invent the wheel when you could easily fork Jitsi-meet and harden it/secure it to your needs in the government.

Jitsi is one of my top 5 FOSS projects that are basically already mature enough to be used in a professional setting

If I remember correctly, it was demolished along with the wing above it in order to build his “ballroom”. Now they’re rebuilding it.

They…will…do…it…anyway…

Fuck it’s so frustrating watching one side pretend the rule of law still means anything.

It already is a civil war. Only one side is fighting it though, while the other keeps saying “wait until the mid-terms”
