From the point of contact, or including time to find a good one? A good assassin can be very quick.

I’ll give ya cheaper though. Good work costs good money.

Same as any other office holder. Impeach in the house, convict in the Senate.

That’s the neat part, it’s not a settlement according to the judge. They’re just stealing it from the DoJ settlement fund.

Where does a president get the authority to create a fund?

The US is fucked on AI leadership, because we’re fucked on manufacturing leadership. It’s a fluke of geology we have control of pure enough silicon right now, and that’s not likely to be a barrier for long. China is about to eat our lunch in every area of research now that the US has killed funding and chased away the best students. What happened with manufacturing, is about to happen with tech and academia. Europe, India, Japan and Australia will siphon off a little bit, but China is going to be dominant for the next 20 to 50 years most likely. And probably won’t be overtaken by the US again.

It won’t be next week, but over the next decade China is very much going to be taking the global stage. The US has handed them economic dominance on a silver platter.

Will Xi have stopped laughing at how pathetic Trump is by the time Putin shows up?

I thought of him after I wrote that. Does anyone know if Fetterman has a trawler he can yell at reporters from the back of?

Lieberman retired so we had to have someone to take his place.

It’s an authoritarian machine. And brutally efficient at this point. It’s what Trump dreams he can do better with his face on it, and underage hookers.

Gotten summons by mail twice. Both times I was way out of town, so no chance of attending, they let me off.

Yeah Krafton can fuck right off, but at this point game sales will determine what the devs get paid, so it’s well worth it to support the game. Assuming it’s up to snuff as a game of course. I’ll be waiting until after early access myself, but I have high hopes it’s a good game. The video shows what could be some nice improvements.

Looks like the devs won their lawsuit, so totally worth checking out.

That’s the real difference to me, maintenance. Planes have a strict schedule of inspection and replacement. Moms minivan last saw an oil change before the kids made it to middle school. There’s going to be some failures.

That’s going to be very interesting to see failure rates and modes on the road over time.

Nothing you type on the internet is truly private, if it were, you wouldn’t be allowed to do it.

AI is getting so intrusive I’m considering a land line.

It would hurt the US more than anyone, which is why Putin wants it to happen.

France and UK combined have a far superior military with greater capability, plus nuclear options. Poland by itself is technically only in a superior defensive position, and doesn’t have the long range strike capabilities of France or UK.

That said, what would stop Polish forces from advancing are Russian military lines and deep defenses that have so far proven to be incredibly fragile behind the front lines. It’s assumed that Russia could pull in a lot more troops and equipment if needed, but reality makes that picture look a lot more shaky. Everyone thinks Russia has deep layers of defense and a million troops to move around as needed. But at the same time, their logistical failures have continued to be so immense that a coordinated attack beyond what they’re handling in Ukraine would likely strain their operations beyond usefulness.

UK and France could send troops, or just tell Poland they’re free to do what they want.

It’s a weekend water camper. Decent enough if you have good local waters or marinas. Too small for anything serious.
