Boot him the fuck out of your country, same with the rest of American diplomanta

Stop halfassing it.

They both hate Muslims and Modi is too stupid to understand Israel’s government hates anyone that isn’t Jewish, including Hindi…

A lot of the electrical grid is actually cooperativly owned

Sure, if you care about miles of wire and not customers, it sounds huge…

But anyone who hears that should be able to quickly figure out why it’s not relevant

Unfortunately the EU has no say in the tariffs that the US charges its own citizens

They can say:

“Since US Consumers can pay 15% more, we’ve decided to implement a 15% export fee to any product to the US.”

That takes the “power” away from trump, he can raise the price as much as he wants but he becomes powerless to lower it.

Almost every “American” product is at best assembled components, and each one of those components can be hit by export fees by the country that makes them.

It’s a very easy movie, almost guaranteed to work, and makes them money. I don’t know why they’re not doing it.

The Bible is OBSESSED with foreskin collection.

That makes sense tho…

Like Old Testament was for the one group in the area who removed those as children. No adult spy would do that for cover, and it would take substantial time to heal to pass

So it wasn’t “we love foreskins, gimmie them foreskins” as much as “give me the one thing that proved you killed an adult man who wasn’t part of us”.

It was genocide, if you weren’t part of ‘the tribe’ you were an enemy and should be killed.

So yeah, totally evil, but logical.

So leave it with the oligarchs who are actively brining trump to make it worse?

What the fuck kind of learned helplessness is this?

Yeah they beat and starve us, but if we stop them from doing it someone might show up and if we let them they’d beat and starve us to!!!

Like, fucking newsflash man:

This is a continual fight, and boomers acting like it wasn’t is why shit is like it is today. No matter what happens this fight never stops

Episgenetics is how the environment effects gene pression…

It doesn’t matter who has it, it’s the one ring.

It’s sheer existence is too dangerous to be allowed. But everyone focuses on what they could do with the power and think they’ll be able to keep it.

That’s why there’s such pushback against opposition to datacenters, it’s not just the money from the stocks, everyone pictures themselves as the only ones who gets to abuse the tech once it’s built.

Tldr:

Oxidative stress resulting in difficulty copying shorter stings appears to result in a higher percentage of longer strings than in younger sperm…

Fuck if I know what that means tho. The article and the research never really got into what the problems are.

Yeah, it’s just typical capitalism stuff.

People see talk about legit refurbs and then think a dust wipe refurb isnthe same thing and get ripped off.

However, it is is not coming from someone who does this stuff at a professional level (refurbished in other words), I am not sure if I can trust it.

It’s honestly not even worth trying to use the right terminology these days…

Every seller/manufacturer uses slightly different definitions.

So to clarify, what’s good is:

A product that was sent back to manufacturer and “manufacturer refurbished” meaning that common fail points were inspected and repaired even if a failure would be emmenient but it’s still working

Pretty much anything else, would be bad.

An example of what is bad is:

“Amazon/ebay refurbished” where someone may have wiped the dust off and possibly checked to see if it turned on.

Especially for hard drives, the refurbishing is built into the purchase contract of the new drives. And since the purchaser and manufacturer both understand the refresh is proactive and the old drives still have life in them, it knocks off a percentage on the new drives and that’s where we can find deals.

I think I’ve got a 1TB that’s ~20 years old I got that way. It’s still technically in my main PC, but at this point it’s an unimportant archive drive that just doesn’t get read or wrote very often.

I’ve just literally never had a HDD or SD die tho. I don’t know why people act like they’re disposable parts of a PC still.

Yeah, that’s how politicians get the insider tips, it’s bribes to not go after the person who gave them the tip.

If enough of the right people make enough money, then everything about it becomes legal, or at worse a fine that’s less than the profits made.

Less skynet and more a surveillance state thats gonna put England and even CCP to shame.

They need the hard drives because they’re storing everything about us. Every time we drive by a camera, gps paths of our cell phones constant travel, every bank transaction including small purchases, every social media comment, page we view from WiFi or cellphone, all our connections to everyone else, tags for various groups.

Not even just the people we know we know, they’ll know who’s usually next to us in traffic on commutes and when, who makes our sandwich from the deli we go to every other Tuesday, what cops would be most likely to respond to a call to our house at a certain time…

Like, “skynet” is useful because everyone knows the term.

The real danger is what humans will do with access to that much information on everyone, and what a normal human would do to/for a stranger to protect all their darkest secrets.

Imagine if tech was 20 years ahead right now with trump in office, do you think someone like him would hesitate to start wide scale blackmail?

You think they’re above telling a couple thousand people in highly targeted districts that they had to vote a certain a way or else?

It’s not the AI we need to be scared of, it’s the data.

Wild that people were down voting you. Hard drives can last decades and are replaced from enterprise servers long before they’re close to failing.

Especially with lowered use compared to a server, you won’t see much functional difference between brand new consumer grade and used server grade.

Pretty sure caches and everything are better on used server grade still anyways.

These companies are publicly traded…

The people who run/own the AI companies would have been complete idiots to not invest in the hardware companies they were going to make these purchases from before making those purchases.

But 100 million in Seagate stock, then announce you just signed a contract buying up supply.

Your company may overpay, but you personally just made a shit ton of money. Which is the why you want your company to succeed

As a bonus, the news that you’re overpaying to buy up all the hard drives, doesn’t hurt your company it helps it.

There’s no way to monetize it anyways, the product is the stock price. And this move makes the company seem confident, which raises stock price.

That’s not even getting into the long term problem that even if AI fails, were seeing a huge migration in computing power from individuals to private corporations. That’s a big deal even if AI dies tomorrow. And they have a lot of motivation to never let us get it back.

As The Information reports, a team of over 200 employees has been working on a smart speaker that features a built-in camera, which will recognize faces and identify objects thanks to a dose of AI.

Who the fuck would pay for AI to run facial recognition in your own home?

Like, I thought ring cameras were for ignorant people, but this is ridiculous

but at the end of the day the dumb masses drove the country off the cliff

You still don’t understand.

But unfortunately repeati g my advice is unlikely to help regardless of if I do it now or a month from now if we run into each other again.

Nothing personal, I just don’t wanna go thru this again later if I know how it’ll end.

It literally took democracy to basically collapse and people to literally die on the streets for some groups to wake up

For you…

It took demographicsyou identify with experiencing those things for you to notice groups waking up.

But different demographics have been thru this for generations, and various groups have been waking up to it for just as long

So congrats for joining us. Just try to remember you’re not the first, and you hopefully won’t be the last. Look around and realize that as you come up with “new” ideas, some people been in this so long they learned it from their grandfather before they learned how to ride a bike.

That’s a good thing for you. You don’t have to start from scratch.

Just open your eyes some more, stay woke, don’t get mad your not a leader and quit.

I’m sorry but there may be smart Americans out there but, and a population, Americans are basically a blob of idiotic sociopaths

You’re missing the point…

Even with the dumbest audience possible, if two people are trying to convince the audience a charismatic liar can win if their opponent is also lying or has no charisma.

But no matter how charismatic or how good of a liar. It’s really fucking hard to beat someone with average charisma who doesn’t need to lie about wanting to help people

Look at Mamdani, I love the guy.

But people act like he’s dripping charisma just because he’s compared to Eric Adams.

He’s not that charismatic, watch his interviews with Mero, he’s a nerd from the Bronx.

It’s just an honest person that wants to help doesn’t need a lot of charisma, cuz they’re not selling lies

The day Mamdani won the primary, the current chair of the DNC came out saying all this too, and saying that’s what we need as a dem.presidential candidate in 2028.

Zuckerberg was in court to testify as part of a trial over whether Meta and Alphabet-owned YouTube deliberately designed their social media platforms to encourage compulsive usage by young people.

Ironically I think rather than them wearing them for nefarious reasons, they’ve just been encouraged to use them for so long, that they are actually addicted to them as well.

Like, if you were forced to use your employers product at work for 10-12 hrs a day and try to come up with way to monetize it in your off hours, you may start to rely on it eventually.

Our brains are wired to always take the easiest path, that’s actually the reason for technological advancement in the first place.

They probably just don’t even realize they’re wearing them, it’s just a (mostly useless and completely impractical) part of their bodies now.
