I wonder who might benefit from attempting to steer people away from e-bikes and towards hydrogen, instead of technology that already works and might decrease car usage.

In the report, the company also said AI could have a “net positive potential” on climate, because it hoped the emissions reductions enabled by AI applications would be greater than the emissions generated by the AI itself, including its energy consumption from datacentres.

Everyone knows this a line of bullshit that is never going to play out. Even if AI worked like they claimed, and it indisputably does not, it would not lead to energy efficiencies that overcame the massive waste that LLM based AI is to begin with.

Honestly, it's for the best. Don't think for a second that Texas wouldn't take weapons from those with "Trump derangement syndrome"

It is very telling that the big donors would rather try to split the democrat vote than rally behind a popular candidate.

IMO, Dems have to allow the new generations to finally have their say and invite fresh ideas, or fatally break the party.

If they keep letting the money work against their voters, they're choosing the latter.

When I see all lanes of traffic have brake lights on simultaneously, I get on the brake right away - but that's much easier to see when you're doing hindsight on the internet.

Glad nobody got hurt, thanks for uploading!

Just Cause 3

Movement was more annoying than Just Cause 2

Israelis target civilians, it's not collateral.

Do you believe that 100% of people, out of millions, will not be violent while they can see what is happening with this government?

Do you believe the government will not resort to agent provacuteurs to get the outcome they desire?

I think you're correct that the government wants to declare martial law, but I also believe that some violent act will occur somewhere, and it will be used against the people.

The VA system has an absurd level of abuse and fraud. One can find a lot of former members that are "100% disabled" that are easily holding full time jobs without issues, and screwed up vets that couldn't get a rating at all.

I have no clue how it could be fixed, and I want people to get the support they need, but the amount of abuse of the system is staggering.

I think part of it is the culture of some MOS to document every little thing, and combat MOS culture of never reporting anything medical

Who won the wars between the US and Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam? Was it the people with the bomber airplanes? Is the US winning the war against the Houthis?

I assume you would mean that there would be like tiers of license for more normal pets, and then a stricter license for Pitbulls or Mastiffs or whatever. What sort of competence do you want people to demonstrate before getting a pet like a Cat or Golden Retriever?

That was a lot more fun that I thought it would be, thanks for sharing that
