Jan 1st, 2029, neither Trump nor Biden will be president of the United States.
I got the time-zone wrong and missed the first hour. Biden seemed fine to me - what the heck did I miss in the first hour?
Since when was this court consistent with prior rulings?
Remember when SCOTUS threw out laws against gays? Then a bunch of states passed constitutional amendments against gay marriage? Then SCOTUS came and said “Na, none of that means anything, gay marriage for all!”
I feel like I am on the other side of that process this time: SCOTUS throws out Roe, bunch of states do constitutional amendments, SCOTUS rules “Na, none of that means anything, all abortions are now illegal!”
Does it lead to the death of all Hamas? If yes, Hamas will not be on board. If no, Israel will not be on board.
Ah, but Robbin Williams didn’t go on a year later to actually BECOME president.
“Biden can’t be persuaded let alone pressured”
Which sums up both Biden’s strength and all his problems in one statement.
Could we seal Biden in a germ-free bubble a week before the next debate? The last thing you want Biden sounding like is sickly - he had a cold today and COVID last time they debated in 2020.
Meanwhile, North Korea just stated that they will be sending troops to the Donbas
Zúñiga referenced that paralysis during the rebellion, telling reporters the military was tired of the infighting and was seeking “to restore democracy.”
The infighting between the two parties is what democracy is. One party getting everything it wants and the other nothing is called a dictatorship.
But did he pardon the Navy’s LGBTQ+ ringleader, Dorthy?
Everyone is talking about society or physiology stuff. That is just things that might get humans.
Stars going super-nova is the real great filter. Our sun is 4.6 billion years old. Life started 4 billion years ago. In 4 billion years, the sun goes supernova. We are halfway to the end of the earth.
Smaller stars last longer, but have smaller ranges that life can exist in - and planets tend to move in or out in their orbits. Bigger stars have giant habitable zones - but some large stars born when humans took their first steps are in their last decades of life. You couldn’t get from the pyramids to NASA in that time, never mind the 4 billion years it took to get to humans.
Sadly, if you can remotely work from rural America, you can remotely work from rural India.
Is… is this reverse Fetterman? Did Trump have a stroke and become a democrat?
This is where technology advancement need to be focused. I’m looking at smart home stuff right now so that I can automate as much of my house before I get old. Memory? We currently have AI transcription and context processing medallions, think of a decade of progress on that could get us to (please keep it opensource and the transcripts out of corporate hands). Walking? Well, lots of exo-skeletons out there. One might take off - I’m hopping for a balloon powered one. Dementia? Actual good use of context-aware genAI. Medications? Diabetics already have smart pumps, why not work on something like that for other medications?
I think once the babyboomers pass through the system, hopefully the next generations will finally begin to embrace technology and lessen the need for so many healthcare workers. I want LAN parties at my nursing home, not shuffleboard.
Yes, that maximizes happiness at the expense profit, the polar opposite of setting it at $100 to maximize profit at the expense of happiness.
That is what I was saying. I don’t think either will last the full term.
