How about BBSs? If you want to spam at 1200 baud, you had better be dedicated.

Along with the bibles, the steaks, the bogus university, the bogus charity… he’s really trying to win the scam decathlon.

USB = Unintelligible Symbols of Bewilderment

In other news, they interviewed 200 historians and by chance found one that happened to predict 9 of the last 10 elections correctly.

Knowing the media, not being able to say anything coherent is a benefit for him, because unlike Harris, nothing he says can be construed as truth, a lie, or anything sensible. If Harris says something that could be even slightly wrong, she will be pilloried, while Trump will be excused because he is senile.

Gravity is not instantaneous. It moves at the speed of light. And the “speed of light” can only be measured locally, because the time and space at a point are curved. The path of light corresponds to “null geodesics” in spacetime, and a body traveling along the geodesic experiences no time elapsed.

The only material changes I can see would be for Russia to move nuclear weapons into occupied Ukraine and/or resumes nuclear testing. Every other escalation does not result in a change their stance that can be perceived from outside Russia. Either of these events would cause an enormous elevation in the readiness and deployment of NATO forces and would risk uncontrolled escalation. How desperate is Putin now?

It means that the key is stuck.

The question is, which worker in an office will be the first to come in only four days a week.? They have to make management shut down the office, otherwise the workers will be too afraid of management to not be seen.

As long as the locals benefit and the environment doesn’t get destroyed ( which polluters frequently get away with due to the Republican legislature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill ) this is a sensible place to put industry. It is more stable environmentally than many other regions in the country where expensive industrial infrastructure is being placed (like the Southwest), has available labor for manufacturing, and is well connected to transportation.

Why is the New York Times just waking up to that? They’re supposed to be a news organization.

AI is statistically generated word salad.

Stock holders demand infinite growth. If the management doesn’t make money, they put in place new management. A company is only worth the value of the next stock buyback or dividend. It’s baked into the structure of corporations, especially publicly-owned corporations.

Desperate Donald is not going to be subtle about his demands.

The Jewish heart doesn’t have enough arterial plaque from the brisket, the kishka, the schmaltz…

Trump will be asking to duel with pistols next, except only he gets bullets.

I think with all the footage of Trump, and his shallow personality, an AI will be trained to impersonate him and we’ll never be rid of him. I’m sure techbros are working on their animatronic Trump right now.

Mental compartmentalization is a real thing.

I think manufacturers need to get a lot more creative about simplified computing. The RPi Pico’s GPIO engine is powerful yet simple, and a good example of what is possible with some good application analysis and forethought.
