Omicron BA 6, they are saying. I thought we were still at BA 5.

You guys suck...

My symptoms started early this morning. A colleague from Frankfurt arrived to visit us on Saturday. Silvana drove her here from the airport, 3 hours, and then her symptoms started and lasted 2 and...

A couple of times on Dalia we went back to fetch a hat that blew off. Once we were going wing-and-wing in a 25 knot breeze, but the hat floated so it was retrieved. To me they were great...

The problem is that people's standard varies. Some are overly ambitious, and will always make trouble if "prevented" from pursuing that ambition. Some are venally competitive and always want "more"...

I am not a gringo, LW. You are. ;)

If you came down here you would be quite powerless, and if people didn't like your face they would call you gringo besta, and steal your lunch. I am told it...

And that Lysychansk was the very tip of a deep salient, surrounded on three sides by consolidated Russian positions with easy logistics. Strategically it was a waste of troops and ammo for Russia. ...

Gringo.

And then you have the colonies of Anglo colonies.

The Phillipines, Cuba, PR, PNG...

Come on, man*, give me a break.

No one is ridiculing it. It is intrinsically ridiculous. It is so ridiculous that you yourself didn't quote it, because to simply quote it exposes how ridiculous...

It's how mindless propaganda is done.

It is not how it has to be done, nor how it should be done.

Come now. You can do it for $100 a day, or even less. For $1000 a day you get top luxury.

Average age...

What's the mean age?

Yes. And labor descended from slavery. Progress has been made.



Including by exterminating "vermin" like top predators.

Of course they do.

Pro-life.

Greatest hoax.

War on terror.

Femenazis.

Some do. Those are harmless. The problem is the huge moronic mass of them who are simply voting as they are told. You know, like the ones who vote for Trump or Bolsonaro because of their Christian...

Let's not exxagerate the contribution of hunting. Species are protected from extinction in national parks and other protected areas. Game ranches help to some extent - some more than others. They...

So how long are they used on average in rich countries?

I don't see too many cars more than 10 years old on US roads when I visit. Most look less than 5 years old.

I agree. Like you said elsewhere, it is probably innate in a lot of people.

My hope is that religion will become ever more fragmented and toothless. It is the big organized religions, nationwide...

To the environmental costs of building a 2 ton hunk of metal and plastic, running it on fossil fuels for a few years, and then throwing it away and buying a new one.

If a refrigerator lasts 20...

$ 47K is cheap. It is only this cheap because externalities go unpaid.

Anyway, isn't it supposed to be the "brave hunter"? Where is the bravery if one of them doesn't get trampled by a buffalo once in a while?

This is correct. South Africa in particular benefits a lot from hunting. The hunting ranches preserve habitat where all the non-target species can live.

That said, sexual tourism also generates...

As long as the dream police doesn't...

I base my opinion on the fact that none of the demo AIs out there have anything approaching general intelligence - they each excel at some very specific and circumscribed tasks only. And to do so...

:D

See? You get the point.

Would you think it appropriate if I called you a body with a penis?

I think the article is about biological women wanting to be called women but being called stuff like "bodies with vaginas".

Wait, it gets worse:

I put general AI in the list of things that are over-hyped and nowhere near happening. Remembered when they sequenced the human genome and in ten years all diseases would be cured and we would have...

It's not actual intelligence. It is a simulation of intelligence created by sifting through massive amounts of data.

It will speed up automation, but that's been happening for a while. It will...

Yes, that is how it went down in Rome as well.

You all are too mixed up. At best you would get a partition, as in of India. That was fun. But more likely, unless you fix your outdated system, you will get something like this:
...

and yet...

Which is all that really matters.

At least Kitchener's army was trained before being thrown to the front - not that it did them much good. Didn't Kitchener fight to keep them from being squandered in 1915?

Poor sheep...

Just hit ALT-b for bobbys questions. :D

I bet Joe has a single-tap shortcut for that post...

Yes, bobbys won.

Wiki:

It is not really an honor system. It is a system based on the assumption that if it came to violence the majority is likely to win, but with high costs for both sides. It is logical then to skip...

30 replies to a wordy cut and paste that no one even read. I wish I could pull that.

Used to be you actually had to do something to stir up violence and make the opposition look bad. The Nazis had to march and break windows and beat people up. Nowadays you just say or tweet...

I don't think your voters are that misinformed. Even with your ridiculous undemocratic elections, where citizens can be actually prevented from voting, the Republican party would never hold the...

Funny, I almost always agree with stuff you post.

Why do people want to read Trump's actual words, or any other politician for that matter?

I personally like to think for myself. I don't accept that people get to be "triggered" into violence by...
