Yeah, I am amazed when these articles pop up sounding surprised that propaganda using current generation media avenues was used. Everyone treats new stuff like it's different than old stuff. 40 years ago they made pamphlets and distributed them. Good ol technology has made it easier to talk to everyone around the world in teal time, so now they use that - I'm aghast!
Maybe if we still taught critical thinking to our kids then they could decide what they want to think about things. But a spoonfed public is obviously the way our overlords want it, and people by and large seem to be ok with that...:(
They are doing a good thing. I'm sure that they have some per day costs that they would otherwise charge and will take that as a tax deduction, but still a good thing.
And I'm not really sure that these things are really made for any permanent installation anywhere, so they are being used to do what they are made specifically for. I' know that groups want to use them long term in places, but I don't see them being cost effective over any long term in most places.
It's just designed to be charged while in the freezer. Pretty simple fix. I expect Apple fridges soon with lightening connectors beside the ice tray so you can charge up the phone safely.
This all started when they decided you had to have midichlorians and did away with the egalitarian outlook in Star Wars... Everything was fine before JarJar!
Big news here: staring at a huge unshielded nuclear reaction may be harmful to eyesight! I'm aghast!
Seriously though, put the glasses on and look at the sun before the eclipse, if it hurts your eyes doing that, guess what, it'll hurt when you look at the eclipse. This isn't rocket science... These people probably bought the glasses specifically so they could sue afterword, lol.
Yeah, the left tends to be more vocal and emotional about things. The right wasn't marching and breaking stuff after Obama won (and the feelings from the right about Obama were just as strong as the feelings from the left about Trump). Obviously the left just needs to learn how to take a joke...
Well the left extremists think anyone who isn't like them is a nazi, and the right extremists think that anyone who isn't like them is antifa. Overall a lovely blanket of cognitive dissonance is keeping both side's eyes shut and brains turned off. Until these groups can sit down and have an effective discourse nothing is gonna get any better...
I'm reserving judgement on this one since Stormfront is a bunch of whackos, but I don't like the general precedent being set here. Haven't looked, but I bet Antifa and BLM websites sit behind Cloudflare also. Where is the outrage for those folks? Last I checked it's been a while since any neo-nazis organized riots and burned down noticeable portions of big cities.
A business should be allowed to decide if it wants to take money from someone or not. That being said, why should a bakery be forced to bake a cake they don't want to bake? It seems to me that different rules are being applied to different groups. This mostly all started with the ADA here in the US - businesses being forced to make accommodations to a certain group of people. If a business wants to not take money from a group of people, that should be allowed.
Overall, marginalizing a group does tend to galvanize them. May slow down recruiting or something, but makes them stronger and more resilient to the detractors. Make sure everyone can see them and their message if you want to denounce them. No good answer, but methinks this is the wrong way to fight them.
What I don't understand overall is that warming isn't necessarily bad. Higher temps and higher CO2 levels? Better food production. Humans at current population and technology levels can handle getting warmer a lot better that we can handle getting colder.
And looking down the road at technology mitigating it, pretty sure it's easier to cool the earth on a global scale than it is warming it up.
I think more importantly here is the fact that it doesn't cost millions of dollars per shot. Interceptors like patriot missiles and more complex ones are stupid expensive to shoot. A laser emplacement doesn't really use fuel (excepting chem lasers, but this one isn't one) so "per shot" it uses however much the power cost to create. So likely fairly cheap or even negligible when put on a nuke ship with basically "free" excess energy to use.
Sheep get easier to control when they are all part of the same flock and trained similarly... That's all this is. Not gonna create any global harmony except through the mechanism of making people think they are bettering themselves through giving up thought autonomy. Generally the bigger the echo chamber is, the less diversity of ideas occurs.
Space Odyssey wasn't actually based on a book. The book and movie were done at the same time and are quite different. Same meat of the story, but lots of differences. The second book was a sequel to the movie rather than the first book interestingly enough.

And me without a mod points... :(

Until the AI figures out how to break out of the VM and crash the universe...

Nuclear winter FTW!

Yeah, no reason they need to make it look like google assistant... Google has decided it likes cards for some reason.

Everything is just a retelling of Gilgamesh if you get down to it...

Well, if it is set to backup everynight, then you'd have to do it then. But yeah, kinda stupid overall.
Easy fix, set perms on that reg entry so you need rights to change it...
I filter it out and could unsubscribe, but easier to filter. I still consider it spam though... It's not nefarious spam, but spam nonetheless.
Most of the spam I see on any given day is legal... Store ads, etc...
You think the FBI doesn't have access to browser exploits that haven't been patched? That is what we pay our FBI/NSA folks for.
I can go to a restaurant and order roast slig...
Yeah, they probably faked it from the moon. Takes less fuel and is probably easier in general in the low gravity. Cheaters!!!!
and their axlotl tanks when you need em?
It didn't specify muzzle blast from the ground. Maybe they plan on arming these things and have noticed shooting causes flight controller confusion.
Does this mean that roads are sentient? Apparently they reproduce...
