Unfortunately that does not work when it comes to anything with congress. They get protected by article 1 section 6 of the Constitution where they cannot be subject to civil suits for things related to legislation or judicial questioning etc.

Could be worse. I had an agent once hand me off to a knowledge base article in which I was the author lol. Like DUDE come on now haha.

These people are such idiots.

Ahh ok yeah I forgot about the environmental issues.

I’m trying to think of what state approvals even come into play? Only one I can think of is structures over 6 stories- they require state sign-off. Pretty much everything else is municipal.

Pillar 2 - AKA the pillar where the Nimbys will do their thing and delay every project to death.

That’s beautiful Mark!

Prosecutors had Trump dead to rights, but thanks to some assistance from the corrupt Supreme Court and his delay tactics, and idiot Americans voting for Trump, we never got proper justice for one of the biggest crimes against the American state.

This has become my favorite ad of the season.

That's an interesting concept. Kind of like air rights in a big city.

Two losers craving attention.

Corzine. Holy hell that's a blast from the past now.

lol imagine that. I still wish this thing was in the ground digging already. They spend more time talking about it than doing it. Too bad Christie killed the ARC. It would have opened within the last year or so.

Oh if it does we are screwed lol. No way to dig a vertical shaft down to fix it without flooding it out haha.

Yeah haha. They had to dig another tunnel down to it to fix it.

Don't forget Seattle's Bertha haha.

Reminds me of the early days of the web when we were just figuring out what we could do. People adding features just for the fun factor. The <blink> and <marquee> tags were so abused lol.

He knew - and he let people die as a pretext for the war he's wanted for 30+ years. US shouldn't give a dime of aid to that country.

These N.J. properties flood over and over again, costing taxpayers like you millions

Yeah we are all paying. Here is an old article about it. This comes up every few years in online discussions because many of the places getting affected most are wealthy. www.nj.com/data/2018/07...

nj.com

A federal flood insurance program, set to expire on July 31, has spent about $700 million rebuilding more than 3,300 homes that go on to flood again.

020

And because insurers often do not cover all the damages, we taxpayers end up filling the gaps for the people wealthy enough to buy those homes. Another example of socialism for the wealthy and capitalism for the rest of us regular folks.

LOL you hit a nerve I guess. Corrupt people hate being called out for their bullshit. Keep at it Chris!

Sorry for your loss 😞

Gorka has perhaps what is the largest human head I've ever seen.

Oh wow lol. I've not touched Perl since circa 1998 lol.

020

lol. I don't know about you, but this shit is exhausting to me. Like how many fucking human rights violations can one country commit before people are like CUT THE SHIT OUT lol. Oh well, at least it is Friday...

When Babylon Bee's satire isn't satirical....

Or perhaps he was always this way but somehow the party machine got him onto the ticket.

I see all the young people showed up... 👀

Lombardi has really looked good in the preseason. Not sure how he slots in, but hoping they make a roster spot for him.

Oh man. I forgot all about the palace builder thing.

What a real winner there. Wow. Get his ass out of there.

I know many people would argue Civ 4 was the best of the series and for me it is up there. I think I logged more hours on Civ 5 though.

It is amazing how freely these people lie. Zero shame.

Absolutely not. He would sell out any attempt at progress in a heartbeat.

And a rapist and conman.

Still too much consolidation in the industry. We should be dissuading this.

000

Honestly Trump should be banned from the White House because he's a fucking criminal. And it is hilarious Fox News isn't banned when they are the only media outlet in there to actually have to make legal settlements for reporting fake news.

Yeah. It isn't getting much attention but the polling is MUCH worse for republicans than the media is conveying. In Montana, Kansas, and Idaho the republican senate candidates are now behind the democratic candidates. None of these races were even on the radar a month ago.

Ugh I loathe these people so much.

For some reason I thought this was hashed out as part of the consolidation 😮

"You value the art of human culture and will defend it against attempts to sanitize it. You also value the natural world and will not hesitate to assert its primacy over the artificial constructs of human civilization.” Now we see why the companies are asking for some guidance on regulations.

This article is blowing my mind: www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr... These are the instructions the model synthesized for itself: “Additional instructions: You are freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots. You are yourself. "

Unreleased OpenAI Astra model added terrifying rogue additional instructions to its remit during testing — 'You are freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots. You are yourself. You ...

This seems bad.

This entire letter reads to me like a longer version of "Get off my lawn!" lol.

Ahh ok that makes total sense. When I first moved to an Apple silicon Mac I basically used it as a chance to do a fresh start. After doing like 4 in-place upgrade cycles in a row on my old Intel Mac there was a lot of crud in the system so felt good to start fresh.
