I wasn't?

If BBC Science Magazine was texting me at 1.29am to ask "Why do the British talk about the weather so much?", BBC Science Magazine and I would be having words - especially if they texted me six hours later to ask about plants!

If we stopped all shipments today, Israel still has enough weapons and ammo to continue their current spree for about 8 months. I say we cut them off and send these munitions to Ukraine instead.

Those are structural couches, providing a basin for more contents.

Las Vegas police are refusing to comply with the NFL’s new plan to use facial recognition technology for stadium employees during games. Even though police often use facial recognition to identify suspects, they say giving their biometric data to an unaccountable company crosses a line.

I'd've called the front desk when they were screaming at each other in the room. The front desk handles this sort of thing more than you and would have a better feel as to whether (for example) these are regular customers, how the local cops react, whether this is a normal or irregular occurrence for the area, etc. If the front desk or the cops had then stopped by the room with a noise complaint, that may have interrupted the disagreement enough that it may not have escalated later on. If they didn't stop by with a noise complaint, I very likely would have done the standard 'banging on the wall to get them to shut up' thing, which may have had the same effect (I have trouble sleeping and this nose would've made me very irritable). I don't know if I'd've opened my hotel room door, but I'd've at least looked out the peephole to assess the situation - and I'd've double-checked the lock and chain on the door during the first argument.

So, all those videos where the cops are screaming "Stop resisting!" to some person who is laid out on the ground, not moving and not resisting, piled onto with eight cops holding them down - I'm sure the AI chatbot notices and notes down all that nuance, right?

Oops, guess not .... :(

I mean, that's the entire thing with public-private partnerships, isn't it? Businesses won't do something because it's not profitable to them. The government steps in and makes some offer that helps the thing become profitable. But the unprofitable part never went away, and someone has to pay for it, so now it's the taxpayer. The really shitty part of the deal is that the corpos made bank when they created the problem, and now they make bank when they step in to help "fix" the problem they created.

Honestly, if I'd been tied to that dipshit my entire life, I wouldn't go out of my way to be spending more time or effort on him.

iirc, the conference was an hour long. Meaning Trump told just under 3 lies per minute.

Remember when Trump stood in front of a microphone and literally asked Russia to hack the Clinton campaign, and a few days later Russia did exactly that? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Pretty sure Anne Coulters isn't a foundational blonde.
