I think climate collapse will happen before 2063. But, if I can get to a plastic bag, some tubing, and a decent sized nitrogen or helium tank I won't have to worry about it.

But, imma enjoy the global Internet as long as it lasts, first.

We're at work, you can just call me "Big Tuna".

Work/life separation is propaganda from the Capital class that wants Workers to each be uniform machine parts.

Some compartmentalization is fine, but don't forget to also be holistically you sometimes, and never substitute your employer's (or anyone else's) judgement for your own.

The USGS still claims, as it did in 2009, that earthquakes are unpredictable. At best they've been able to communicate when/where seismic events happen slightly faster than they propagate through the earth.

We can do both, but emissions should remain the priority. We can continue to scale energy generation while reducing emissions. We aren't anywhere near extracting all the energy the sun provides, and solar, tidal, and wind power are all very low emissions even including manufacturing and decommissioning costs

That said, we do need public transit solutions that make raising 3 children in a loving household to be a life well-lived. Many SUVs are used because the house manager has to wrangle all the children while also picking up weekly supplies from one or more locations.

My limited experience with public transit is that it is a lot harder to do bulk purchases, keep groups together, or both.

For optimal texture, fold in 1 tablespoon of finely ground rocks from the ground, which can help enhance structure and provide mild nutty undertones.

Oh, you are just pretending to be an LLM / genAI then.

congress can ignore copyright for debate and argument

Analysis and review are fair uses available to everyone.

military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt

The military does have fairly broad ability to violate, or even nationalize (and then classify), copyright and patents. Technically they have to justify that with a national security claim, but those are rarely reviewed or rejected. I doubt any of the U.S. armed forces pays for a public performance fee when barracks movie night exceeds 10 individuals, even if the movie is Disney.

Policing the speech of other people = authoritarianism, yes.

Copyright is a government-granted (and enforced) monopoly. Under anarchy, no one would benefit from copyright protection, at least not the same way we have it now.

People could voluntarily police their own speech to stay in an association... but I don't know how/if that would scale.

Works created by the U.S. government do not benefit from copyright protection.

I don't believe either the government in general or congress in specific have the blanket ability to ignore copyrights held by others.

You see, I'm a "no code" developer. /s

I'm a programmer, and I've heard many programmers advocate for using "AI". I surround myself with those that reject it (primarily for ethical reasons), but the ones at my last job seemed to like it.

Anyway, the whole industry has actually been built on vibes for at least a generation. C is bad. JS is worse. We have better languages that had better tooling and better semantics since before either of those were invented, but they were ignored in order to build an edifice to Capital on sand. Since then, the actual computer scientists (that study that branch of mathematics) have made much better languages and done studies to provide evidence they are easier to learn and produce a lower fault rate. That has been consistently ignored.

Adopting "AI" is just another step before the whole industry collapses, and we restart on better foundations and salvage what is absolutely necessary.

I don't know what the next foundation actually is, or how stable it can even be when it's built on this von Neumann trash instead of a proper Harvard Architecture. /s (I hope the foundation is related to GRTT or QTT.)
