  1. tl;dr expect a lot of manufactured civil discord during this election year.
  2. Abbot's going to have to call in some reinforcements
  3. Dude, where did anyone post anything remotely confusable with this?
  4. I think a technical solution is in order. Whenever those posters access any URL on this site, I would have them redirected to the old scat site.
  5. If the supreme court gives the President immunity from prosecution, the next President can act with an assumed impunity. That's true regardless of who is elected in November. It could be true for the current sitting President. Which makes me wonder, what are the odds either Biden or Trump2 is assassinated before leaving office?
  6. I figured "H, X" was some cheesehead version of the Surly fuckability rating for the two assholes on the billboard.
  7. Elon being able to do whatever he wants with your Tesla gives "auto-pilot" a whole new meaning. Must be some very fine print in the purchase documents.
  8. Did the students take a knee during the Israeli national anthem or something?
  9. I think we're looking at Mike Myers, who has really let himself go and is in the process of mutating to become Michael Myers.
  10. Guys, he's going to revolutionize cloud computing with his intardnet of shitty things. What could possibly go wrong with the world's first completely decentralized and fully mobile data center? https://www.theverge.com/24139142/elon-musk-tesla-aws-distributed-compute-network-ai Elon Musk wants to turn Tesla’s fleet into AWS for AI — would it work? Musk, who loves to riff on earnings calls, compared the unused compute power of millions of idle Tesla vehicles to Amazon’s cloud service business. If they’re just sitting there, he mused, why not put them to good use to run AI models? (Also, have you ever really looked at your hands? No, I mean really looked?) “There’s a potential... when the car is not moving to actually run distributed inference,” Musk said. “If you imagine the future perhaps where there’s a fleet of 100 million Teslas and on average, they’ve got like maybe a kilowatt of inference compute. That’s 100 gigawatts of inference compute, distributed all around the world.” So, to summarize, you buy a Tesla. It’s your property. But Musk wants to freely use the unused compute power in your vehicle for... something? Possibly AI-related? Hopefully not the blockchain. (Tesla is an AI company now, by the way. Musk said so himself during the call.)
  11. I agree, but that is a great quote that will play extremely well with a lot of people. It frames this as David vs Goliath and David is so cool he's bored. That's true whether Trump legitimately said it or not. It's Ric Flair mic skills level of good. Of course, there are plenty of filmed examples of Ric Flair demonstrating his mic skills, and none of this quote from Trump. Hence my dubiousness. But if he's smart, he will recite this quote exactly next time he has a mic and a camera in his face.
  12. lol, here you go? https://politicalwire.com/2024/04/24/extra-bonus-quote-of-the-day-855/ Political Wire is an American political blog. It was founded in 1999 and published by Taegan (/ˈteɪɡən/) Goddard, a former policy adviser to Democratic U.S. Senator Donald Riegle and Independent Governor Lowell Weicker, and the co-author of the 1998 political management book You Won: Now What? How Americans Can Make Democracy Work from City Hall to the White House with political commentator Chris Riback.[1][2][3]
  13. If Trump actually said this, it's a great response to sleepy-gate. Of course, its an unnamed source, so its probably someone at the Bulwark coming up with what Trump should have said.
  14. Yeah, the employers I've encountered seem to view it more as a deterrence vs anything they will actually enforce. Its tech, so maybe thats part of it, too. I've always kind of assumed it was so they would not develop a reputation as corporate fascists in what has at least until recently been a very competitive marketplace for talent. You might or might not stop one employee from going to a competitor through the courts, but you are for sure going to have difficulty overcoming that reputation in trying to entice top notch talent to your company in the future.
  15. Not that I disagree with what's happening, but of the people I've seen defy their non compete, I have yet to see the previous company try to enforce it.
  16. :raises hand: Um, I'd just like to state for the record, my brain is actually weed-addled.
