This is my thread

I don't think they'll actually remove him until they get what they paid for, if at all. The show must go on.

That's bound to happen. It's a problem that has been in the making for decades. FDA needs slashing because they suck. They can't be trusted. I think drugs will still be sold and doctors will continue to have the wisdom to treat people despite the slashing. You know me, I'm all for small government. I think government screw people over the most - not a single lone wolf in a red tie.

Who's they? The Republicans won the House and Senate. They won't turn against them. Elon said he'd pour money into a challenger's campiagn for any Repulican who votes against anything Trump wants. We'd have to wait at least 2 years for new House elections, which will totally be fixed for Republicans by then. But Trump faces serious mental decline, IMO. Also, I believe he has a terminal condition, like cancer. He'll never tell us.

They are the Never-Trumpers. From school boy subjects to neocons to Lincoln Projects, Hollyood starlets to faded rock stars. big media broadcasters to pentagon generals.

Maybe the neocons are fightin' they each other. AIPAC APAC? They wack. I got my money on 2PAC. lol

Yeah, it was surprising they just slipped the takeover of the house or senate in there. I thought Dems had at least secured one of them and people were somewhat relieved it wasn't total control. But then a day or two ago they secured all three.

I think JD calls the shots this time around. Yeah, Trump looks rough this time around. Not sure what he's dealing with but I expect it's some sort of cognitive decline like Biden's second term.

Americans - I want my country to be safe

Also Americans - I am opposed to gun control


It's almost like you've been programmed what to be scared of

Yes. Hold my beer.

Messing with people's money is like messing with their emotions. Food and sex are the most powerful feelings we have and the rulers(they) are messing with it.

I think even insects can be "programmed" to respond to stimuli and I'm certain you're already aware of some of the studies done on mammals. Absolutely.

Trump's team is skipping FBI background checks for his Cabinet picks as he floats controversial choices. Remember when MAGA was so worried about national security that they even obsessed about how emails were handled?

I'm gonna start a tangent here from politics for a bit

Anyone use AI casually in their day to day?

I got a free subscription, for a year, to Perplexity. I've been using it for about a month or so but it's all been casual searches for recipes or explanations on things.

And we haven't talked about AI in a while, which is a social and political issue in itself.

Have you guys been keeping with the technical side of AI? Which engine to use and when? I have options for which ones to use for text and which ones for image generation. It made me realize I've just been reading headlines about "AI" but not realizing that there are different services and each have their strengths and weaknesses and use-cases.

Also, that Tyson-Paul fight was such a dud. I knew it was a money grab but I assumed we'd still see something interesting. I'd complain about Netflix's server issues but I used Streameast, so no complaints here.

It's cool. They still have a file on Judy Garland and everyone knows Huckabee is a dumbass!

The bet is on nuclear power so they say. seems artificially dumb to push us off onto unreliable low-density energy while the technocrats get the juice. i don't care how many times they promise us a new cleaner nuke. i don't believe them.

I think everyday usage like phone A.I. and internet is fine but the rulers want to put it into everything. they want A.I. to listen to crickets from treetops! to use the tech to kill. that stuff is not worth the nukes.

Who are the redacted people?

Don't be rude!! Tulsi is not a "russian asset." Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a Bolshevik witch! Hillary so foul she makes AOC look presidential!

Here's a guess - Trump's gonna do that stupid shit like other presidents and promise to release classified documents like say... "JFK Files" - it's starting to be funny to me how they pull our chains with that crap. anything pertinent has long been shredded and bleached. we already get the gist of it. I'm sure RFK does too, despite his worms.

The point is FBI sucks (I'm certain bureau is divided like the rest of us.) The FBI seems to have a background info on every nutcase and know what they do right up until the time when the nutcase goes into a public building with a gun. it's the formula - mention too much of it and The Onion will buy up your asset.

AI for me is like 7-Up, I never have, I never will.

Nuclear power is the perfect clean power source until things like solar, tidal, wind are able to take over. Burning fossil fuels is only going to increase global temperatures and exacerbate the crazy weather situations we keep seeing. But you guys keep denying it and leave the Paris agreement. It's fine. Renewables have a strong business case and will take over purely from a cost basis anyway

It's perfect until something goes wrong. How much "warming" would the fuel cooling process contribute to the total? I bet there's already an industry for nuclear clean up. Just saying.

Bioengineers made mutant, solar-powered hamster cells

Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed impossible, experts accomplished the first-of-its-kind feat thanks to two main ingredients: red algae, and hamster cells.

Finally, my dream come true!

A few bugs that would show up in first generation plantman.

-Bad hair day on dry days

-Still want to just lay by water and sunbathe

-Extremely sensitive to light

-Complains about kelvin and color temperature

-Excess moisture rots away limbs - couple of weeks to fully regrow limbs

-Hyperactivity during full moon

-Strange ordor on hot days

-Hate dandelions for no reason

-The gardener at the nursery tell you to limit sodium

-You tell the gardener it's okay because you're half mangrove

-Discrimination against succulents

^ That's exactly what I was going to post

You guys set up solar panels in your home? I've been seeing companies advertise their solar stuff for over a decade now and some houses in my neighborhood have a roof covered in panels.

I just wish I knew how much it cost them and how much energy is captured. And also what the limitations are to what you can use to source energy from all that collected power. Surely not an AC unit lol. But it'd also be useless if you're just charging your electronics with it, too.

Man, I went to the used car dealership and bought a car but it turned out to be a lemon. good news is that I have lemons in my geothermal greenhouse.


Maybe we don't see Dyson spheres because smaller artificial suns are created and we can't even see it.

How about an organic self-healing solar cells with batteries you can eat. (if you want... taste better cooked in butter)

Tokaimura nuclear accident

Masato Shinohara, 40

9-30 Exposed to 10Sv on face and arms
10-10 Bruising, vomiting, diarrhea, unconsciousness
11-10 skin begins to fall off, 70% of skin is lost
12-20 continued skin graft procedures
1-4 skin grafts to his face, DNA too damaged for regrowth

dies from fatal lung and kidney failure after excruciating 7 months.

Building these time bombs and storing waste on a series of fault lines known as Japanese archipelago was the worst decision made by the rulers in its 10,000 year history. All for what? Power vending machines and pachinko parlors?
