Who’s shocked, really? “Oh no I’m so surprised the dictator who’s assassinated public officials before is maybe trying to kill us!”

Declare Russia an enemy of the state or whatever allows you to sanction them in totality and be done with it. The fact they won’t because they’ve made themselves so dependent on their gas and other exports is fucking pathetic.

Man I love it when billionaire assholes finally figure out what the rest of the world has been saying since the beginning.

Why would anyone accept this if they are trying to not seem like a fascist? I thought modi was trying to appear normal.

Except in this case it’s accurate? It’s calling out Russia’s lack of appropriate casus belli.

Why would you hold self-driving cars to a standard that we don’t hold drivers? If you are a driver and realize you are about to harm a pedestrian, there is no circumstance when the law suggests you ram a car into a building or pole instead of the pedestrian. Your insurance would rather you hit the pedestrian, usually. Because in an animal strike, hitting the animal is comprehensive (in America) and swerving to hit a fence is collision. You can’t be at fault for comprehensive. A pedestrian is a different mater and not comprehensive, but they’d rather you mitigate liability, and then mitigate cost. And there’s a chance the pedestrian was at fault, at least partially. The building/pole can’t be.

But all of this is a moot point. Self-driving cars will NEVER be programmed to harm the driver before an outside person. Simply for the fact no one will ever buy or ride in a car that chooses to kill the passenger over others. No one will ride in the Suicide Car.

Caveman absolutely proud of you. Hunter-gatherer lifestyle was closer to how most animals live: most of their lives are spent resting. Periods of hunting take up a lot of energy and most animals spend most of the waking hours conserving energy. Humans weren’t that much of an exception.

A descendant who rests the majority of their lives is living the dream. Especially when pretty much all prehistory threats are eliminated: predators, neighboring tribes killing you (for most of us anyways…), starvation, prevalent disease, infant mortality, extreme seasons, etc.

Contrast that to the founding father’s age in America: those rich assholes hated and feared the working class. They had incredible animosity directed at any non-owner class people. They even created a nation and had the gall to say “every man is created equal” and then most states denied voting rights to non-landowners, non-men, non-white people, and often based on age and religion. It could be as low when the Constitution was ratified as 20-25%. So it’s safe to say the white-haired ancestor would find the average person’s lack of hard work and life of some leisure a good thing, in general those asshats were closer to modern billionaires.

A leftist hat trick would be amazing.

“The world today” but it’s the fucking death star.

If there isn’t DHCP and you device isn’t set for a static IP, would it even connect?

It’s not that simple. If it was the American military wouldn’t be effective because manpads, javelins, and torpedos would have taken out all the aircraft, tanks and ships.

The military is a fighting unit and protects itself very well. At least, it does it it’s working right. When you have a military being destroyed by a vault interior opponent, it’s because they are fucking to their military…or someone is trying to occupy Afghanistan.

Do colleges allow you to use laptops and phones during math finals?

Even having an anthem, being bullied into putting your hand over your heart, making children onesie allegiance, is all indoctrination to nationalism. It’s horrible.

Then it’d just be NK sending a bunch of soldiers who get to emigrate to Ukraine.

Right. For sheep/goats I was mostly talking about history.

Chickens are definitely the preferred animal in a lot of the world both in subsistence and when countries raise meat.

Yeah, I saw that as well. It’s very neat and I hope that 50% reduction is seen in all cattle breeds with just a small supplement of seaweed. If it’s effective without strong side effects, I imagine we’ll synthesize whatever chemical is inhibiting the methane production and it’ll become a standard feed supplement.

“This could help farmers sustainably produce the beef and dairy products we need to feed the world,” Roque added.

Absolutely not the case for beef cattle. They are far too expensive to raise and feed to be a hunger concern. They take so much land and food compared to how many calories you get from the beef. Pretty much every other animal is easier to raise and feed. There’s a reason pretty much no culture or religion bans consumption of goats or sheep; they are critical. Beef is a luxury food.

That’s a great idea. Analyze the feces or garbage and then publish public reports about the deficiencies of NK life. That’d embarrass Kim enough they’d probably stop.

Chicken is already significantly cheaper. People still buy tons of beef.

Yeah. Because there’s no good answer. Anything you do will be massively unpopular. Trying to get people to stop eating beef or dairy is going to be very difficult.

Once lab grown meat is affordable maybe it’ll help.

I mean who doesn’t have a gay room these days?

This is some Book of Vile Darkness shit.
