To most people, it also implies wireless backhaul.

Close enough.

The second ER diagnosed her with sepsis and then sent her home

That right there should be criminal charges. Pregnancy staus is irrelevant at that point. Sepsis will kill you if untreated.

I think it has less to do with their attitude on sex, and more to do with the availability of actual porn. I’m an older millenial, and even I’m of the opinion that full on sex scenes very rarely add anything to the plot. Implied sex is often more than enough to do the required plot advancement. If I wanted the sex specifically, I’d just go watch porn.

Money in banks is a freezable asset. For an organization like Hezbollah, that would be a major concern.

Expect a lot of change in Israeli-Western relations in the next 20 years

I wouldn’t count on it. Western attention spans are nowhere near long enough for that.

I think it’s more accurate to say that things become fire.

Businesses generating their own power is not anything new. The big auto manufacturers used to do it back in the day, and if you scale down the concept, every windmill (the grain grinding kind) and waterwheel built and operated for profit is the same thing. I’m just happy that Google is seemingly having their own built, instead of getting taxpayers to build it for them.

Depends on the device and the usage. “Smart devices” can encompass a lot of things.

I thought dodging state imposed transaction restrictions was kinda the whole point of cryptocurrencies (other than the pyramid scheme part).

Most of the “what if” scenarios that I’ve come across focus on what if the Nazis hadn’t attacked the USSR when they did. If Germany was fighting on one front at a time, the question becomes does Germany take the UK, and if so, does the US directly enter the war at all?

Worse. Terminally online edgelord.

“Yay! We’ve created artificial general intelligence!”

“…Fuck, it’s an asshole.”

And what is your proposed solution?

Pointing out the obvious problem without proposing a solution is a giant waste of everyone’s time.

Also, can’t commit war crimes if there’s no war. And Russia says this isn’t a war.

I’m not up to speed on how US tax laws work. What does getting deemed a hobby entail?

Nothing says “small government” and “freedom” quite like mass surveillance.

The two parts are actually Israel and Hamas. If Israel wants peace, there’s not much the US is going to do to force them to keep fighting. And conversely, if Hamas doesn’t want peace, there’s nothing the US can do (short of entering the war directly) to keep Israel from fighting back. It’s all up to Israel and Hamas. The US (and Iran on the other side) are secondary players.

Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we’re talking about?

'Cause that’s fuck-all when we’re talking about industrial level power draw.

Well now this really makes for a trio of facts that paint a horrifying picture:

• Private, for profit prisons exist
• Prison slave labour is legal
• Homelessness can now be made illegal

Guess I should buy some stocks in companies that use prison labour.
