It is not just that they are enormous and strong. Its that they will actively hunt you for food unlike most brown or black bears.

I think they are fairly unique among the animal kingdom for being willing to chance attacking a human. Most other predators don’t find the risk of not knowing exactly how it would go to be worth it.

There is a reason that a lot of the people that you see that live or spend a lot of time in the parts of the world that Polar Bears live in don’t often go outside without high caliber weapons.

That is unfortunate, I was looking forward to seeing them expand beyond Apple platforms only.

Maybe the community will take interest in it. Good on them for open sourcing it

Has anyone asked him if he knows where AI gets its information.

Says the guy that has his own makeup people.

Someone has been studying up on the Microsoft Group Policy way of wording things.

I dream about being the kind of rich that allows me the mental space to get hyper fixated on stuff like that.

Someone needs to try the Deadpool communication style with him. The more he tells you to shut up the more you keep talking.

one of those long 1920s cigarette holders so I could smoke a joint

You son of a bitch, I’m in.

It is a really good “proving ground” for longer term human habitation of something like a settlement on a foreign body, without being so far away that some kind of rescue is basically impossible should something go wrong.

Also, going from Earth > Moon > Mars, or where ever, is probably less complex from a total at one time payload perspective than trying to move everything you would need for that longer term destination all at once.

Plus as you alluded to, you can’t really put a price on the political good will that comes from doing something like that. The Moon is a cheaper way to get that good will and some experience from point one as a starting point.

Stupid sexy witches

It really is amazing that given how long humans have been around that so many of the older ones have yet to learn that the one thing that will for sure make the younger ones want to do something, and find creative ways to do it, is to try and prevent them from doing it.

Hell, it is not even necessarily just young people. Look at the lengths prisoners go to in an effort to get around jailhouse restrictions.

Nothing makes people willing to find a way to do something like telling them they “can’t do it”. Spite is a powerful motivator.

I don’t think I have ever heard of Ubuntu be described as anything other than the “default Linux” distro that you use or give to someone if all you/they care about is good first and third party support.

It is the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy of the Linux desktop OS world.

This would only make since as an example of the Electoral College if you adding something to adjust for everyone’s theoretical impact on the meal.

If every voted but Liz was also paying a larger percentage of the bill than everyone else then it would make sense that her opinion outweighs everyone else.

News flash to the press, its not the electric cars, the rockets, the concept of a social media platform, etc that makes these dudes undesirable. It is that they are genuinely shitty people that use the proceeds of those products to do shitty things.

Can’t wait to hear from the crowd that said it was fine when they introduced an ad tier because they still had a non-ad tier. Despite everyone that has seen how this always goes before telling them it was only a matter of time before legally watching Disney owned content was going to mean paying a substantial monthly fee and having to sit through ads.

Let this be a lesson everyone that said that. Once they build the mechanism to have the ads, they will not be able to resist turning up the dial for the easy ad money.

Watching the modern Republican party is like pirating the wrong TMNT or Avengers movie and not realizing until you mom walks in the room that you got the porn parody.

This is nearly every phone when compared to the most recent next model.

I once tried to connect my Galaxy phone to my Samsung TV that is not connected to the local network. And the phone not only connected via bluetooth to share the video I was trying to project, it also silently passed my wifi credentials from the phone to the TV and connected itself to the internet.

Got rid of the Samsung phone soon after, and I won’t buy another Samsung TV either when this one dies.

How is that even possible? The incompetence and carelessness is kinda impressive.
