We're all AI, some of us are executing on biological hardware.

Variety in the modes of education is a good thing: not every pupil is effectively educated in a public school.

But, I can't help but think this is merely stealth privatisation of education: a profit making exercise. That it might actually have positive outcomes for pupils is a happy accident.

Stingy bastards.

They'd likely get more than 79000 × $30 of marketing 'captial' for just saying "oops, our mistake, but your benefit" and honouring it.

And chalk it up to not training your marketing team on how to use excel.

deadbeef79000 ,

Bold of you to assume this isn't just a huge CSV loaded into Excel.

They're prepared to pay up $400m to rebrand countdown supermarkets to Woolworths. They're not strapped for cash ;-)

so what's the commercial barrier to releasing that info? Transpower have nothing to gain.

The barrier is that someone will be willing to pay for real-time data, which, when an MBA gets involved becomes a revenue opportunity and giving it away for free becomes theft of potential revenue.

The close a lie is to the truth the better the lie. Sometimes the truth is the best lie of all.

Oh for a sweet blessed time I'd forgotten about xXx.

But, more Riddick, please.

Tesla Lays Off Entire Team Behind Brakes ( www.theonion.com )

AUSTIN, TX—In the latest round of layoffs for the company’s struggling automotive division, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla fired the entire team behind brakes, sources confirmed Wednesday. “As we continue to rightsize the Tesla workforce, we have come to the decision that stopping the car is no longer a critical...

Real Americans just buy a bigger truck and let momentum do its job.

as an EMT

You're actually trained to administer medication and evaluate its risks.

The cops just want to play Judge Dredd.

deadbeef79000 ,

Exactly. This needs to be baselined with aggregate ratings for TV or at least the genre.

deadbeef79000 ,

Not from the USA.

Doesn't the 1st apply to federal congress? Does it filter down to state legislatures?

Juice them and freeze the juice as ice cubes, then bag them, store in deep freezer.

Then you have delicious lemon juice ready at your finger tips for ever and ever.

Attacking farmers is never the right answer. Imagine attacking your own food supply. How pathetic.

My country produces enough food for our own population eight-fold. So fuck the 7/8 farmers that are fucking our environment over for a dollar.

The Landsraad has a sort of Mutually Assured Destruction pact. Any house that uses atomic weapons against another house would be immediately destroyed by all other houses. Paul uses atomics to breach the Shield Wall technically against a feature of the planet, not house Harkonnen, so there's still political subtlety there.

Lasgun-shield interaction is indistinguishable from atomic weapons.

So deployment of this kind of weapon will ensure your own annihilation.

From memory, the lasgun-shield explosion is unpredictable and proportional to the size of the shield. So, a personal shield could produce a relatively small explosion, a house shield would produce a cataclysmic explosion.

Five cats in a trenchcoat with a severed hand.

Check.

Well we gave up because we have to fund tax cuts for the rich somehow.

Hmm, yes. Ambiguous.

Tone rather than content. SpongeBob capitalisation it too hard on a mobile.

Whomever wrote that has no idea what unbiased, uncensored,and impartial mean.

They think...

Unfortunately not critically thinking.

You'd think that, of all the peoples of the world, the one people who'd least want to be, who'd know better, the agents of genocide and forced migration would be der Juden.

deadbeef79000 ,

Actually, yeah. It's pretty obvious when you put it in those terms.

I was just hoping that "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy" would have more inertia.

My search-fu is failing to find any material about George and Lori that isn't regurgitated news of their deaths.

I was hoping to find some material in medical journals describing the nature of their craniopagy and what the complications are regarding what neurological elements are shared. That might have been helpful understanding why they were not separated and what might have happened to the twins leading to their deaths.

Looking for my grandfather

I don't know if it's allowed here, but i matched with some cousins on ancestry. We figured out that their cousin Robert Little must be my grandfather. They say they don't have much contact with Bob and were unable to give me a phone number for him. Google searches for him have come up empty....

deadbeef79000 ,

That's probably enough information to look him up in the phonebook (if the white pages still exist that is).

deadbeef79000 ,

I was thinking that as I wrote it... but figured "grandfather" might be old enough to still have a land line out of habit.

Apples are a fruit with thin edible skin and firm white flesh. Oranges are a fruit with a thick inedible skin and soft pulpy flesh.

Apples can be compared to oranges.

In Colombia, confundir la mierda con la pomada (to confuse shit with ointment) is used

Colombia wins.

deadbeef79000 ,

Yeah, but in this case OP's griping that US-baked coups are "different" depending on what breed of socialism it was disrupting.

That's like complaining that braeburn apples and granny smith apples aren't the same while ignoring the locusts eating both.

It's a distraction from the actual point.

deadbeef79000 ,

Genuine People Personalities? Sounds ghastly.

It is.

deadbeef79000 ,

That's OK, you can't say that about the monarchy though...

deadbeef79000 ,

Ah, I interpreted your statement in terms of "the current president sucks" rather than in terms of saying anything you like (e.g. about the monarchy).

Or, is this where I double down and start insulting you?

deadbeef79000 ,

Am I Redditing Lemmying right?

deadbeef79000 OP ,

Yup. It's already too late, even if all emissions stopped yesterday.

But at least we created some shareholder value.

deadbeef79000 OP ,

Oh, I agree that it's not too late to reduce the severity of the impending catastrophes, but it's too late to prevent them.

deadbeef79000 OP ,

I initially thought it was an onion article.

It was the right time to ensure the right stock price at the right time.

An enormous company like Boeing always has myriad legal things going on. There's always a little litigious jitter in their stock price.

Everything Swampy knew, the big cheeses did too and more. Statements entering the courts' records makes them more difficult to casually dismiss. Evidence of top echelon mismanagement becomes a problem, a stock price problem.

deadbeef79000 ,

That sounds like a euphemism for hitting people.

deadbeef79000 ,

That would require them to read their holy book.
