Yeah but will you run my program that escalates to admin in order to function?

The abortion issue in particular doesn't center around racists, it centers around evangelicals. Zealots believe that an abortion is Against God and really, truly, honestly believe they are saving your immortal soul and that of your baby by forcing you to carry to term. People like that can't be reasoned with because they honestly believe they are acting in the best interests of folks that require saving. "This is for your own good" kind of attitude.

Twitter isn't losing users, it's gaining them

[citation needed]

According to every source I can find X/Twitter has lost around 32 million users and counting since the rebrand.

maximum height allowance on vehicle’s headlights so that they’re not right in a sedan’s driver’s rearview mirror when a pickup is tailgating

That's actually already legally mandated at least in states that require state inspections. Headlight angle is supposed to be one of the things you have to check in order to pass inspection.

In practice, mostly nobody checks it and it doesn't matter. But it should.

Nah that's real football. Here he's referring to Handegg.

They'd have to install a manual Pew switch. Go quiet for infiltration, or turn up the speakers for indimidation factor.

Those are more of an area denial weapon. Less "suppressing fire" and more "oppressing fire"

Oh everyone heard. Just nobody else is trying to tangle with a 30 foot, 80 ton bright red robot. They heard what happened to the first guy.

Big fan of antignocchi myself. It's got that certain taste of total annihilation you can't get anywhere else.

So where's all the folks coming out of the woodwork to tell us this isn't Technology news, then? They sure want to shit all over the comments whenever Musk is the subject, but here, in this nearly identical situation? Crickets, naturally. I've heard no other single piece of news out of this instance for five days other than the personal schedule of Sam Altman. It was good to hear about what happened once. Now we're on post 63 of the same news.

Don't get me wrong, I dislike Elongated Muskrat as much as the next guy. But there's an extremely vocal minority here that love to invade the comments on every post of anything he's done to cry about how that isn't technology news. I generally like to argue that yes, it is technology news that Twitter has refactored how their verification mark works, or that advertisers are pulling out due to offensively alt-right content being promoted by Muskrat. I also think this situation with Altman is legitimate technology news, I just like to point out hypocrisy when I see it.

They want exactly the one on the website except with every measurement multiplied by 0.893, corner angles that would make Escher blush, and also they want it to stand 4 feet tall with no legs.

Get to work.

It's a shame people think the "bill gates propaganda wing" is a real thing.

What's your opinion on PragerU, I wonder?
