The ‘futurist’ in me is asking a semi-serious question: why are we still bothering with *natural* grass? Why haven’t we engineered our own species of grass to precisely meet our desires? Soft and fluffy, controlled height, drought resistant, low maintenance, etc. For best results, maybe even include some tweaks to…

Soooo...an enemy of China’s government has cause more damage to China’s largest rival than China itself ever did.

The two men were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Rev. Jesse Borns Jr., who was stabbed 47 times in his woodworking store in 1999.

They’re just a reflection of the real American society (the true and ugly reality, not the fairy tale ‘Merica-koolaid bullshit): I got me and mine, so fuck you and yours. It’s a mindset that predates this country’s founding. After all, what did the first settlers do to the people already here? Yeah, that’s right: I…

So you admit you’re a hypocritical apologist -- murdering is okay for one side, but not for the other. Good to know. I will now dismiss all of your stupidity.

Funny, because I still see thousands of dead on both sides. Running tally of dead, from those numbers, put the totals to within 1-2% difference. But I guess all those previous deaths, they don’t count, because they didn’t happen recently. I’ll be sure to let the Native American population know they weren’t victims of…

At this point — and likely only for a while yet — the one of only a few remaining backend tool needed for seamless voice swapping is one that can convert a given voice actor’s performance into a mark-up text string that then gets fed back into a TTS system to change one actor’s voice into the target-person’s voice,…

She did a great job in Gemini Man in this kind of role, too.

So, uh, just out of curiosity, where is all the water going to come from that you’ll be using to break into hydrogen? Are we going to start consuming the world’s limited supply of potable water without any thought paid to that outcome, just *hoping* it’ll turn back into the same volume of potable water afterward? Or…

You do realize that graph completely contradicts whatever point you thought you were making, right? Near parity, across the board, at almost every single year.

Yeah. Totally different. One side goes out of its way to target civilians. The other side just doesn’t care if the civilians get killed. So civilians get killed! Shocking! The Israeli government and military antagonize the Palestinians, because they’re pissed about looking weak from a previous attack when civilians…

Literal terrorists on one side. Brutal, military regime on the other. Both sides are filled with and run by power-crazed, opportunistic assholes. If you’re looking for the ‘hero’ in this tale, there isn’t one, no moral high-ground. Just the dead and the loved ones left behind to bury them.

Yeah, no. The doctor who refused to acknowledge her symptoms is just the first link in a CHAIN of medical malpractice that resulted in this woman’s death. Every single nurse and doctor who did not stand up for her, who did not voice their concerns over the substandard care she was receiving, they are ALL responsible…

“We did it. We knew we were doing it for almost a century. We just didn’t care. Because we only care about profits. That’s how you and everyone else has set up this world. So fuck you and everyone else who can’t handle the fact that we’re doing exactly what you want us to do -- make money.”

...it should help Google keep up with Amazon and its burgeoning Project Kuiper...

Acquiring data and information on citizens requires a warrant, unless that data or information is in full view of the public. That is the intent and law of the 4th amendment. Data you have to BUY is privately owned and maintained, which means it is NOT in full view of the public.

The thing is, there ARE laws on the books that can be used to stop this, but the DOJ won’t use them: Public/Reckless endangerment. They do not require that the perpetrator know or intend for their actions to cause harm or the harm that it causes, only that the actions in question have a measurably negative impact on…

There definitely needs to be action-chilling consequences tied to this kind of thing that DOESN’T depend on voters not being morons....

Oh, they do. They’re just hedging their bets that it’ll break on someone else’s time and dime. And ~99% of the time, they’re right. The problem is when they’re wrong, they are colossally, deadly wrong.

A historically GOP-controlled stated wrongfully convicted and imprisoned a black man. I’m sensing a pattern here....
