My local cheap gas station has gone up $1 since Trump's Venezuelan war, 80c of it this week.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

My uncle from NM once used the term "refrigerated air conditioning", which is when I first learned about swamp coolers.
The latter wouldn't have helped me - at the time I lived in NJ, two blocks from a large swamp :-)

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. My own spoken-language hearing certainly depends on doing next-word prediction to make up for not being very good.

I had a project in Camarillo that meant I took 405 from 101 to LAX a lot. It's 18 miles, same distance as 6 times across Manhattan.
It was almost always faster to drive 6 times across Manhattan :-)

I assumed it was just fingers running on autopilot; mine do that all the time :-)

Every UBI pilot project finds it works pretty well, which is used as a justification to do more studies instead of, you know... actually implementing it.

At rush hour, LA County alone is large enough to drive several hours in one direction and not leave it :-)

Jesse. But yes.

But hey, the bars are open again, so even though Trump didn't get reelected in 2020 his strategy of denial was still a success!

Thank you to Australia for protecting the Iranian visiting football team from the effects of Trump's illegal war!

I'm enthusiastic about lots of AI pattern/voice/image recognizers, though they've definitely got limitations,
and think LLMs can be useful if modeling languages is a thing you need to do,
but think GenAI is generally bad or worse at everything :-)

I was around the Cypherpunks since before that stuff developed, and I'm still not convinced there are good use cases for mining-based Blockchain that can't be done better with other technologies (hash trees managed by trusted parties, etc.)

* Legal and constitutional, if ill-advised and in bad taste.

Court opinion reading tip: In an Appointments Clause challenge, if the judge quotes this before even getting into the facts of the case, the executive branch lost.

Any money DHS wastes is better than spending it on harming people.
But this story repeats the whining that ICE can't do their Secret Police job in marked cars (too ***** bad!) and isn't smart enough to suggest repainting them.

If FIFA takes their FIFA peace prize back, he won't let them have the World Cup here.

My local cheap gas station's prices have gone up a buck since Trump's Venezuelan war, most of that since his Iran war.

Hey, Bill Clinton was the best Republican president of my lifetime, and I was born during Eisenhower's term.

Mitch McConnell, as minority leader, did an amazing job of preserving the GOP rich-people tax cuts by filibuster, which was one of their core goals, along with non-accountability for Bush43.

Always had been

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding The House minority leader said Democrats will "cross that bridge when we get to it," but added that President Donald Trump has so far failed to justify his "war of choice."

Profiles in courage

Have Signal feed message content to AI to detect phishing? :-)
More seriously, have the Signal app do a bit of keyword matching and throw up an often-false-alarm warning after hits?

'At night, the ice weasels come.'

Hey, they just wandered by, hoping she was out of town.

"whedonistés"? "wedonts"?

Haven't found a better answer than "delete your account",
which I did because the free programs and services could no longer delete anything but the newest 3000 tweets unless you're a subscriber.

PA, NJ, NY? NJ, NY, CT? Checks out!
I remember hearing somebody on a radio talk show referring to the Tristate area when the caller was from California and had no idea what states that was.

Alternatively, 0, 1, somewhere in between? 0v, 5v, 3.3v?

Since everybody involved in AI selection knows AIs aren't good at facts, does it matter if they picked the target by
letting AI do it and not checking what it was,
throwing darts at a map and not checking,
looking up "large buildings" on Google Maps and not checking?
Negligent war crimes either way.

Threats like that mean that Netanyahu had better have really good bodyguards if he doesn't want to be treated the same way.
