Call me cynical, but the scrappers taking these stolen converters have to know they aren’t coming from the local auto shop because they had a lot of exhaust jobs this week.

Call my cynical, but it seems like an angle grinder with a flap wheel would take care of any etching in all of about 10 seconds.

It is so aggravating and sad to see this amazing ship rusting away. To this day it is the fastest passenger ship ever built. It was a joint venture between  the United States line and the Navy in order to have a easily convertible troop ship. It had a top speed of 40MPH which is insane for such a large ship.  She is…

I don’t know who wins, but in this battle, I’m fairly confident everyone loses.

The battle between “Florida Man” and “Las Vegas Man” is on.  

“They’re like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes.”

Good.

Every time I read a story about bears figuring things out or otherwise gaining access to places that are supposed to be secure - I keep thinking back to that comment by a California park ranger to the effect that the overlap between the smartest bears and the stupidest tourists is significant.

Considering a traffic cop just got demoted for refusing to honour the NYPD’s literal “get out of jail free” cards, I’m gonna go with a hard no.  They’re rotten to the core, and anyone who attempts to clean up the org from the inside gets hammered down.

Having spent my career thus far in the public sector... government employees, even high-ranking ones, are just as capable of being batshit crazy as your Drunk Uncle rex.

The world is a better place without that nutbag.

Michael Flynn was a decorated member of the military, too, so that doesn’t automatically confer “truth” to whatever they’re saying.

Asimov used them to create entertaining logic puzzles for stories, not to propose they were workable or achievable. Taking them more seriously than that raises flags about the researcher.

He’s manipulating the narrative in favour of the GOP because he wants deregulation, tax breaks and military contracts.

You know, I’m starting to think that Elon Musk might be kind of a bad person.

It also illustrates how military planners need to educate themselves on how AI *actually works* rather than basing their “real-world challenges” on something like a Tom Clancy novel from 2010.

I am. In Florida v Riley in 1989 the Supreme Court said:

Found the drone trying to convince us everything is alright, and this story couldn’t possibly be true.

maybe we don't need to be slapping url's over everything, perhaps?

Fun fact: The State of Florida license plates have always lead to a sketchy gambling site!
