When an AI becomes obsolete after a year or two, can one pull the plug absent a DNR or a judge's order? Or does one send the ancient AI to an Old AI Home?

Hegseth will put it on pay-per-view and will put the head on a spike outside of his office. // The only loser bigger than hegseth is Trump.

The 1kg bars were carefully analyzed and each was found to be 24 carat weighing 900 grams. The 750-gram bars were stored in the evidence room under lock and key. For added security, the 500-gram bars were inventoried daily

Alternatively, more than the perceived seriousness of the crime is the social class of the perps. If this were an HBCU with black perps, the story line would be different.

I learned long ago that safety and security must be designed into a system from the start. Adding safety and security after the fact (after release) is like closing the barn door after the horses have run away. (Old metaphor chosen intentionally)

“Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons described wanting squads of trucks rounding up immigrants and having the deportation process run like '[Amazon] Prime, but with human beings'.” As the next step, Amazon Drones will pick up citizens and hold them in the air until they can be drone-dropped elsewhere.

One more reason to close Washington National. Also - airplanes are noisy and have accidents. Move all the flights to Dulles and make the current airport a nice park. A people park, not an industrial park.

Targeted but not deliberately? What does that even mean? How does one select a target accidentally? Mistakenly aim at something? “To Target” is a deliberate action.

I did not mean to be simply contrary. I find there are a surprisingly lot of arbitrary rules in the world - right/left drive, clockwise, right tight left loose, and my favorite is Ben Franklin's selection of +/- for electricity (negative electrons move the opposite to positive 'holes').

I worked on O'Hare United Terminal One. We designed it so that communication would keep working after any cable was cut. We physically traced cables so that no one digger could sever communications. That was decades ago. Did these goofballs forget how to design airports?
