No issues here yet. Proton vpn with brave. Both have been good about finding the work around and updating so far for me. Hit a wall, but by the next day they fix it. It's a continuous battle to be sure, but no long term issues for me so far.

Thanks to the improvements in efficiency and price fluctuations that allowed shale oil extraction and the like, as well as new exploration, for all intents and purposes, we still have a basically unlimited amount of oil.

When oil gets expensive, it justifies infrastructure that was previously economically unfeasible and not part of our reserves. And once that infrastructure is in place, the price can still go down and it can sustain itself. Is it really unlimited? Absolutely not. But innovation and economics have stretched what's available to a level of surprising longevity.

At this rate of price fluctuation and investment, in 300 years we will be extracting the oil from your facial pores and still have a "50 year reserve".

It's kinda a neat thing if it wasn't for all the shitty side effects, tbh.

Little more concerned about the damage he can cause in the next three years. Yeah. It's his last term. But if the last year is any indication, we've got a loooong way to go.

Meesa no starta da fire

You weren't lying.

Had no idea Sabrina Carpenter publishes Franklin the Turtle books.

If that was the case, wouldn't his lawyers have a better argument than "the cops gathered evidence wrong"?

There is wishful thinking, and our own biases about this case, but I feel like if the current story were true, we wouldn't be splitting hairs about Miranda rights. And to be very clear, from what I understand,supreme court precedent, specifically New York v. Quarles, it has been already established that you don't actually have to be read your Miranda rights if there is a public safety exception. I imagine that will be main counter argument.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like a weak argument from the people who have all the official details of the interaction and narrative they are pushing.

Dude, your a fucking psycho. Take a chill pill and sober the fuck up.

If there is one thing I know about both pre doc undergrads and TA's... Setting up a face to face may just be the only thing that saves us all from the skynet apocalypse.

Let's be honest, only an honest to god AI will willingly set up that meeting.

Even before ai, that shit sucks enough to burn the whole world down. Terminator doesn't have a chance

I think that rewording wikipedia is slightly better though. It still requires you to digest some of the information. Kind of like when your teacher let you create notes on a note card for the test. You have to actually read and write the information. You get tricked into learning information.

Ai, just does it for you. There's no need to do much else, and it's reliability is significantly worse that random wiki editors could ever be. I see little real learning with ai.

That's exactly what it is. He doesn't realize that he's just a tool, not the mastermind. But his ego and complete lack of self awareness won't let him see it. Same with trump. They have spent their whole lives thinking they are masters of the universe, and now that they have that control, all they do is fuck up their goals, because they aren't actually the ones calling the shots, and their goals are not why they were elevated to these positions. To steal from blazing saddles.

"What did you expect? ‘Welcome, Sonny?’ ‘Make yourself at home?’ ‘Marry my daughter?’ You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know—morons"

More of a geopolitical 'tragedy of the commons' in my opinion, but hey, you do you amigo.
