I asked ChatGPT to explain why JD Vance would kill the pope and it cited articles at me to tell me that JD Vance did not, in fact, kill the pope. I even tried to get it to doubt itself and it doubled down. If I have to live in slop world, I should at least be able to have fun with it :(
Got it. Yep, I agree, no notes.
I mean, Trump isn’t helping working class Americans.
Which judge? Which jury? What’s the case so I can look it up? What crime is he charged with? When is his next court date? What was he convicted of? What was he sentenced to, and by whom?
-Questions I’m going to keep asking
Edit: I just read that modlog. Unrelated? Eat more boots, jackass.
This article appeared in my feed just above another article about how China has the world’s first operational thorium reactor. Meanwhile, the US is about to fight a civil war over whether vaccination causes measles and stripping away the last of our social programs in order to get our wealthiest people another 2% subsidy.
Well, it’s only constitutional this one time. Every other time, it isn’t.
This is just super fucking cool. It’s so rad they can pick out chemical signatures from the light passing through a planet’s atmosphere from a star 120 light years away. Absolutely gonzo bananas, the JWT is too cool. I will go on a personal mission to punch Donald Trump in the taint if they actually do cut the Roman telescope.
Well, they fucking are
This is a great point. I know that some pharmas actually do internally funded research, it’s a thing, it happens, but it’s completely dwarfed by shareholder giveaways and government subsidies ofc.
As a dude, I want to believe that it’s less than it is because that’s just wholly unreasonable that women have to put up with that.
Wait, not everyone can do that?! What the fuck?!
You’re right.
Yes, 100%.
That last sentence is it. IP laws are outrageous monstrosities these days, with folks like Disney getting 100-year long exclusive IP rights to characters and stuff like the DMCA.
This is why it’s a mixed bag for me. IP law is kinda important in a capitalist system, which, for better or worse, that’s what we have. If someone comes up with a wonder drug that outright cures addiction or something, you’d want that person to be able to recoup their costs before a bigger organization with more capital swoops in and undercuts them on production costs until they’re the sole supplier of the drug. The hepatitis C cure drug selling for $70,000 is a great example of this quandary; there’s millions of dollars worth of research and clinical trials that went into developing the drug, you’d want the company to be able to recuperate the costs of developing it or else there’s less incentive to do something similar for other diseases down the line. Also, though, $70,000 or go fucking die is an outrageous statement.
Of course, what we have for IP law in practice is a bastardized monster, where corporations exploit the fuck out of it to have monopoly control over important products like insulins and life-saving medications that cost cents to produce and allow them to sell for hundreds a dose. That’s not the intent of IP law, IMO, and that doesn’t really serve anyone.
You probably won’t see much in terms of globular clusters in binos. I feel like you should be able to resolve the Leo triplet in them, though I expect it would be a challenge. Probably your best bet is the beehive cluster in Cancer, which should be near the Zenith, the little beehive cluster in Canis Major, and some of the easier double stars (the second star out from the cup on the handle of the big dipper- mizar and alcor- is great) and the Orion belt stars. Good luck!
Tbh this is really frustrating. As many car crashes I ran in my 15 years in EMS, NHTSA has probably saved more lives in the last twenty years than the Dept of Public Health, especially once you consider how for much of America, there really is no alternative to driving.
social losses, private profits
Llama4 don’t say the N word challenge: impossible
Part two turning things into cool physics made me giggle IRL, good job
