I have no proof, but I feel like the AI push and Turnip getting re-elected and his regression of the EPA rules sounds like this whole AI thing was an excuse to burn more fossil fuels.

If I was invested in AI, and considering AI’s thirst for electricity, I would absolutely make a similar investment in energy. That way, as the AI server farms suck up the electricity I would get at least some of that money back from the energy market.

Based on what I remember from my biology class, many traits are decided by dominant vs recessive genes. The genes in your DNA are arranged in pairs. Your parents each provide you with one half of that pair.

• Recessive genes require both genes to be the same to be expressed.
• Dominant genes only require one to be expressed.

Let’s assume that tallness is the dominant gene and being shorter is the recessive gene.

If your father has one gene for being more than 182 cm and one gene for being less than 170 cm, he will be tall because the gene for tallness is dominant. If your mother has two genes that both select for being less than 170 cm tall, she will be noticeably shorter than your father because she has two recessive genes.

If your father gave you his recessive gene and your mother gave you one of her recessive genes, you would be noticeably shorter than your father.

This can also happen when both parents are tall but each of them carries both the dominant (tallness) gene and the recessive (shorter) gene. If they each provide only the recessive gene to their offspring, the result is an offspring that is significantly shorter than their parents.

This is some of the goofiest shit I have ever heard. If these biblical Nephilim giants ever existed, and someone had evidence of that existence, what would be the motivation for hiding it?

Scientists do not avoid biblical references because of some vast conspiracy. They leave that stuff out because those stories do not agree with their findings and/or do not add any useful information.

A great many scientists are Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. If the Nephilim ever existed and evidence was found that proved it, scientists would not shut up about it. It would be impossible to keep it quiet.

Can you imagine the museum traffic if such evidence existed? People would travel from all over the world to see even a tiny fragment. No curator in his or her right mind would pass up that opportunity!

Progressive lenses are complete garbage! The fact that you need to wear them for several days for your eyes (and your brain) to adjust to them speaks volumes. Keep in mind you will also see very poorly for the first few days.

I got some progressive lenses for my second ever pair of glasses. My first pair did not have bifocal lenses. I wore the progressive lens glasses for a few minutes in the store. Took them off, drove home, and tried to wear them at home. I hated them so much that I went back the same day and returned them. I have had lined bifocals ever since and have not regretted it one little bit.

Not clanker but simply: Clank!

The answer, at least in my experience, is that schools offer classes throughout the day and it is up to the student to select classes that fit onto their schedule. Unless a class is only offered in the morning, it is entirely possible to attend classes that do not start before noon and still get a degree.

Did I just get Cold-rolled?

With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

From my perspective, he’s still salty about her making fun of him back in the 90s on her daily TV talk show. He made it worse by not letting it go and taking out full page ads in the New York Times in response. She would then show the ads to the audience and read it on the air. Then she would make new jokes about what a giant man-baby he was.

That was enough to convince me, then, that Donald Trump was not a good person. That was about 25 years ago. I have not changed my mind about him. In fact, I dislike him much more now than I did then. It astounds me that anyone voted for that moron.

Genocide is not exclusive to Jewish victims. It is not anti-Semitic to say that.

Genocide can be committed by anyone. It is not anti-Semitic to say that.

Genocide is being committed by Israel’s military against the people in Gaza. It is not anti-Semitic to say that… but it is sad.

It is even sadder that my government, instead of stopping them, continues to help Israel commit genocide.

Switching sides? Donald Trump has never had any real interest in helping Ukraine. That was true the first time he was president. This is not new.

Perhaps. But if Iran was the source, and that source was incorrect, the response would probably not be to claim that someone on the US side was leaking classified information.

In bitching about leaks in his administration, Trump confirmed that the sites were, indeed, not completely destroyed.

This is the kind of thing where it is only believable until someone goes outside and looks at what happened, then the story falls apart.

It’s Iran, and a nuclear site, and the location of a recent military attack, so I am under no illusions that this information would be trivial to obtain, but I really doubt Iran would have any interest in promoting Trump’s lie. I would also expect Iran to be more than happy to announce “You Missed.”

Leaked information or straight from ground zero doesn’t really matter. How did Trump expect this sort of thing to stay quiet? No-one outside of the US would feel even slightly compelled to comply with his narrative.

Even for Trump this is stupid.

There are two answers to your question.
Most password cracking operations target a database of user accounts in bulk. As long as the hacker is not targeting your friend specifically, they should be fine.
If your friend is the target, one or two successful hacks could make their other passwords vulnerable.

Maybe change it up a bit? Decide that when you drink, you will only drink premium beer. Refuse to buy anything but expensive beer that is not on sale. After buying a few of those, your desire to save money will begin to heavily influence your desire to buy it at all. This has the added benefit of making all of the cheap beers seem sub-standard and not worthy of purchase.

Yes, it’s normal.

I think the part you need to try now is to forgive yourself. You were six. You would likely not make the same choice today. That event is in the past. Try to leave it in the past. You can not go back.

We all have regrets. We try to learn from our mistakes as best we can and move on. That is all we can do.

That was the plan for this administration all along. Trump is a Russian asset. He has never been interested in helping Ukraine achieve peace.

If we assume that this is a move for Putin against NATO, the US taking control of Greenland could result in Russia gaining a naval staging area to attack Europe.

But that is the thing. Trump is the ONLY president in the last 70 years to publicly express an interest in this. Considering Trump’s apparent loyalty and dedication to Putin, I have to assume that this is entirely Putin’s idea. Trump is too stupid to come up with this plan on his own and acquiring Greenland only makes sense if the end game is to cut ties with Europe and strengthen ties with Russia. Otherwise, it’s more beneficial to the US to let Denmark be responsible for governing there.

Fuck Trump and Fuck Putin! They are both a cancer on the world and we will all be better off when they are both gone.

Translation: Denying interest in this tells me that this has everything to do with Russia.

Prior to Russian puppet “Trump” talking about taking over Greenland, I had not ever heard of a US interest in having more control over that area. The US already has a military base with a naval port there. Unless the plan is to break a bunch of treaties and destabilize Europe, there would be no need for the US to annex Greenland.

Isn’t it about time for Putin to fall out of a window?
