Surely we would not have our bodies so full of microplastic if our stomachs could destroy them.

P.S. Volunteers needed for the Mars mission as well.

Are you saying Harley drivers are fair game?

Warning: Natural Intelligence detected!
- Comment on Leading AI models fail new test of artificial general intelligence 1 day ago:
So they actually tested LLMs for being AGIs?
Should have asked me… I would have told them the best ants in the world fail the test for being snails.
- Comment on Apple and Musk Clash Over Satellite Expansion Plans. 2 days ago:
The feud between Musk and Apple over satellite service pits the world’s richest man against one of the world’s most-valuable companies.
Now see what happens with too much de-regulation and “freedom”
Muuhahaha…
- Comment on Modern magic unlocks Merlin's medieval secrets 3 days ago:
For the impatient: it was a story about Merlin. Not a story written by Merlin :)
And an impressive documentation about what historians can do with technology.
- Comment on Replit CEO Amjad Masad says learning to code is a waste of time, citing Dario Amodei's prediction that AI may generate essentially all code by next year. 4 days ago:
Even the simpler AI models can simulate ‘management’.
What we don’t have is AI’s that simulate your everyday asshole bosses.
What we don’t have either is AI’s that simulate fair, decent, smart, and empathic bosses.
- Comment on Aptera’s production-intent solar EV completed its first road trip traversing over 300 miles 4 days ago:
Is much heavier
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 4 days ago:
I have heard about identity provider software on Linux for self hosting.
Is that a possibility for family members’ win11 accounts too, when they run into that problem in the future? Or is a M$ account the only way then?

Mendel was an actual scientist, that’s right. But he and his work did not confirm Darwin’s ideas. That’s the most frequent error of so many Darwin followers.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
But that’s Mendel, not Darwin.
A different flavor of ice cream doesn’t make a wholly new dessert.
- Comment on Why don’t brands make simpler names? 6 days ago:
Manipulative tricks. They do NOT want to make it easy for you.
For example, if they can keep your brain busy with a complicated name, then you put a lot of brain energy into remembering their product.
The “Silver Adam 590 HT” is so much better than the Adam.

oops 🤣
- Comment on Louisiana Governor's Cybersecurity State of Emergency Renewal, grants the National Guard authority to undertake any activity authorized by law deemed appropriate in response 6 days ago:
Here is a summary of everything:
No, that’s no summary of anything, it’s yet another epic novel, O.M.G.
#######
he also removed the director of the office
So there is no actual director.
the governor basically handed very broad control of cybersecurity to the national guard in a very underhandeded way hoping nobody would notice
This might be the core. But what does it mean now?

Too long, tried to read it all anyway. I can find only details over small detail, but no meaning. WTF?

Let’s call it the “Hegseth switch”

Why would you think it doesn’t matter?
- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 1 week ago:
Microwave, 2 plates.
Half a teaspoon of water between them, or even a little less.
15 seconds, and already that little amount of water is turned into steam and your plates are hot.
When you take them out, wipe them dry immediately, otherwise they could cool down quickly.

I don’t know, because I haven’t read the wiki page yet ;-)
- Comment on The Great Tech Heist - How "Disruption" Became a Euphemism for Theft 1 week ago:
“revolutionary” business model consists of wedging themselves between existing markets and participants, then bleeding both sides dry with escalating fees and commissions.
Somebody has learned “shareconomy”
- Comment on Why is it sometimes difficult to start doing what one enjoys? 1 week ago:
It’s called procrastination.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The caveat here is why Europeans are a bit better than this?
The European countries had their own wave of fascism and dictatorship in recent centuries. Some seem to have leaned from the experience.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It should also be said that tarring all Americans with the same brush is unfair. I think it was the votes of less than a third of eligible voters that made Trump 2.0 a reality
But that means all the non-voters are to blame as well.
And why are the streets so empty now? I can’t see all these democrats out there.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 week ago:
leading to all out war and global catastrophe.
I doubt it.
Unlike your typical nice bar brawl, not everybody is actually that eager to get involved in an exchange of nukes, and alliances get sometimes weaker when the risks get higher.
I wasn’t getting into the literal size of bomb impact areas vs global surface area.
Of course you are free to build your opinion on whatever speculation you like the most.
Did you know that a good share of all American nukes are mounted on short range missiles that can travel only 100 km or so? Some people were considering funny scenarios there…

The truth is stored on their harddisks. But the truth may become very illegal very soon.
They better move the whole thing out of Usa now.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 week ago:
I suggest to read about Hiroshima, and what really happened there, and afterwards.
Here’s a good book: Hibakusha: Survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a.co/d/8KS4RXC
One bomb kills people in a circle of 10 or 50 km (I forgot), and injures people maybe 100km around. Then it does damage to nature maybe even 1000 km around.
But the planet has a circumference of 40.000 km. Now let your thoughts run around the planet.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 week ago:
an effective deterrent to war
Do not fool yourself. Nukes have NOT achieved that on their own.
It has always been humans who were somewhat responsible and willing to communicate (diplomacy) instead of shooting blindly.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 week ago:
Top 100 means about half of all countries.
So many people having their fingers at the triggers. There would be many unreasonable and evil ones among them.
We would have nuclear war every year.
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 1 week ago:
Not in these next 4 years.
Afterwards, if judges still exist, you can try to force Tesla (with the help of judges) to allow your right to repair.
