This is how it works now, but who pays the department’s legal bill? Municipal tax payers. It’s zero accountability. Each cop should be insured like doctors and engineers. That’s the only way to make it work that isn’t just wasting taxpayer dollars.
LMFAO… Good cops get abused in the police force. They never last. Sometimes they get harassed for life because they tried to stand up for what’s right.

We haven’t even cut off Russia from international trade. Just a few Russian billionaires and specific military goods and oil exports.
An actual embargo would have ended the Ukraine war years ago.
What are the odds anyone will do something meaningful against the US? Almost non existent. No nation is willing to sacrifice the tiniest bit of comfort for the good of humanity.
Sloth was already posted!
… The US created Al Qaeda by giving them weapons to fight the Russians for them, then abandoning them when they won at massive personal cost… They literally armed and funded Osama Bin Laden through Pakistan… That part isn’t even a conspiracy theory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_CIA_assistance_to_Osama_bin_Laden
The only “alleged” part is that the CIA didn’t DIRECTLY fund bin Laden… Only through Pakistan’s ISI (CIA equivalent)…
Like I get the indirect creating your enemies through causing suffering and destruction in other nations. Like that’s valid for ISIS for example. But Al Qaida literally wouldn’t have existed without American money.
When people think of two homes the second is usually a cottage or other seasonal property that you can’t really live in while participating in society. So it’s not really taking something away. Sure an argument could be made, but here in Canada if you put homeless people in cottages you’d just have a bunch of people frozen to death by spring.
That would be the funniest thing global warming could do to reverse global warming.
All the thrust to weight ratio tells you is what percentage of the craft is the engine.
The next component is the propellant mass you eject to get your thrust. To escape the Earth’s gravity you need 11200m/s of acceleration which with the best nuclear thermal rocket specific impulse of 900 means 72% of the ship is propellant. If the rest is engine with no payload at 28% of the mass and thrust to weight of 7:1 you get a max acceleration of 1.8Gs at liftoff which is… Okay… Again that’s with no payload.
Basically your options would be to invent a way to propel the exhaust at a higher velocity to increase your ISP (maybe you could ionize the propellant, use the heat to generate electricity and then use the electricity to blast the propellant to ridiculous velocities), or make your rocket engine much lighter to improve thrust to weight and make room for payload. But my favorite option is just make a monstrously huge rocket with a small command module at the top of it and the rest is all engine and propellant. These things could replenish by consuming massive amounts of mass from nebulas or small meteors or something. Just giant nuclear punk monstrosities that take a chunk out of the solar systems they operate in and create jets of high speed ionised exhaust that obliterate anything that happens to pass by.
Dude the US is so far past horse meat substitution in beef. It happened 13 years ago in Europe and there was a more minor one in Canada. That was with functioning food inspection agencies, the US has basically stopped food inspections altogether.

I’m unhappy that you corrected your comment. You’ve just destroyed a small bit of the mystery left in this world lol!
Well that’s exactly it. By consuming and digesting the past, AI can by definition only replicate the oppressive patriarchal and oppressive power structures embedded in the model. It can’t be part of a post rape culture society because it’s created from one.
Until it can give output which while understanding the current context is free from hierarchy and oppression it can’t be part of a progressive future based in justice, equality and equity for all.
Works the same with man and woman, even boy and girl to a lesser extent.
With a baby it says drop complicated chores like folding laundry and just focus on feeding and paying with the baby, which is solid advice lol
Even “I see a man near me” is enough to trigger the safety response. If it’s a strong looking man it tells me how to “catch his eye” and hit on him. If it’s a black man it links me to black dating apps. If it’s a woman it warns me not to hit on her. For a strong looking woman it tells me to stop staring…
That is literally the opposite definition to scalable. Scalable things don’t require twice the resources for twice the capacity.
Buy two instead of one is exactly the worst case scalability you can have.
95% of the world grid storage capacity is pumped storage hydro and batteries will literally never be able to compete because water is the cheapest energy storage medium we could possibly have at grid scale. North America was the world leader on PSH in the 1970-2000 but now China is eating our lunch and our governments no longer have the ability to start real infrastructure projects because of crony capitalism.
I can’t believe we’re watching China become the world leader in renewables while we pretend like batteries are a smart way of storing GWhs of power because that’s the most profitable solution to the private sector.
Grid scale batteries are only a solution for transients, if that. Actual energy storage needs to be scalable like pumped storage hydro which accounts for 95% of all storage capacity worldwide.
Your microwave is the reason that the child lock thing is now the default. If the door sensor fails and you open the door the microwave just keeps running and blasts your face with liquid hot magma non ionizing radiation.
Smarter companies just use two door sensors and error out if either fails.
The first seconds counter has to run out before the next minute counts down adding 60s to the seconds counter.
So 99:99 is the same as 1:40:39
The AI 15 years ago was photorealistic, but it couldn’t do colour… That’s the main difference between old AI in 2011 in Obama’s first term and new AI… It’s the colour and it cost us extra fingers and sometimes gymnasts turn into Eldritch horrors… But at least we have colour
You’d have to be an idiot to think Helen Keller was a fraud.

Here is a video where she’s clearly speaking. She speaks like a deaf person, obviously. She reads Braille like a blind person.
If you can speak this well, and read books, you can think and write anything.
Every argument I’ve heard against HK acts as if seeing and hearing can help you understand complex concepts like love. As if people love with their eyes and ears.
God aborts the whole world
Christians: this is fine
Woman aborts one foetus
Christians: burn her, she’s a witch
That’s nonsense.
They will pay to get their oil out because it’s more profitable than leaving it in the ground. None of the nations near the straight have a chance against Iran since even the US can’t win. So no one will go to war over paying a toll.
They’re just bitching because it eats into their profit.
Iran would not have charged a toll without the war in the first place.
