True. I hope asylum is always on the table for cases where someone may be in physical danger. So sad we even have to contemplate such things.
You sure that isn't spam? I like me some eggs, spam, eggs, sausage and spam.
.. bets on when Netanyahu publicly denies and/or violates said ceasefire? Just like every other deal thee US tried to declare so far?
Well, if there was any doubt there is one law for the rich & well connected, and an entirely different law for the 'plebes', this put that deep in the ground...
Someone should go rip that blindfold off of any 'Blind Justice' statues, it is just gaslighting at this point.
Oh, just 32 inches diagonal. I suppose it would be tough to source a monitor as large as those modern living-room TVs.
Are models marked as 'commercial displays' or 'digital signage' free of the smart TV junk?
Hence the reason I just bought a decent used monitor + external speaker when our last 'smart' TV died. Just give me a dumb display, please
Obviously we no longer have cable, just a media box. And streaming's turned to shite so off to sail the high seas...
I'm conflicted on whether Canadians should warmly receive any 'conscientious objectors' this time around ('last time around' meaning war objectors in the Vietnam era).
While I understand their desire to flee what they feel is a dangerous domestic situation.. it's not to the same point as the Vietnam War where citizens were being conscripted to fight in a foreign conflict; today, they voted, and they got a government they may not like, but as citizens aren't they supposed to then work to get it back they way they want?
If they're eligible for emigration and can obtain landed immigrant status, fine. But they may have to live with fixing their problem at home, and cannot rely on being able to just pul up stakes and 'ride it out' in another friendly nation. If they end up not liking it in Canada, are they just going to leave there too?
Their boots on the ground and votes at the balloting stations will be needed more than ever in their home country in 2 and 4 years, presuming they'll get a chance to vote again; which is something they need to stay and fight for! (Be that in the courts, the halls of Congress, or even in the streets, heaven forbid).
Leggo... my Lego?
..and now that apparently a clear majority of Americans actually want him to rule them again, part me wishes every other nation would close their borders to all US citizens for the duration. Make them stew in what they've created and think about it for the next time (if there is one) they vote.
Ahhh but who am I kidding? We need their money, want their movies, fear their military... it sucks.
You may well be right.. sigh, how time flies. Yet I have two perfectky good fw audio interface/mixers I want to keep using.
Blockchain currencies and now 'AI' (glorified pattern matchers)... I wonder what the next huge energy/resource sink grift will be? I want to know so I can get in early, make a zillion and dump before everyone realizes how stupid and wasteful it all was.
What pisses me off is that LLMs are such a brute-force 'solution' that goes against one of the major goals of Computer Science -- to find algorithms that take less time and energy, instead of just throwing more compute cycles at things.
Hell, blockchain at least had a mathematical justification for why it needed such huge compute/power resources (proof of work).
Well on the way back to serfdom... wonderful.
