While I’d want to turn off biometrics if I thought I was in a risky situation:
So they could force me to unlock it, but probably wouldn’t take the time to hunt down all the places there’s secondary authentication. So damage would be partly mitigated
It doesn’t even have to be a derailed boom, but simply
Aside from the obvious questions everyone else is posting …. How is this even relevant? Saudi Arabia mainly exports oil, but US uses almost no oil products for generating electricity. Unless data centers start installing their own generators (please no) for full time power, it’s a non-starter. What electrical utility does s going to build an oil burning generator plant?
History we’ve used a lot of coal and natural gas, so that’s the most likely fossil fuels to increase. And those are fuels the US has tons of
That’s awfully absolutist of you not seeing the huge difference in scale, the blatant ignoring of checks and balances, states rights, and the resulting constitutional crisis. Never before have so many government leaders so blatantly committed so many acts of corruption while holding themselves above the law. Never before have we so intentionally cut so many services and intentionally disrupted the economy so much. Never before have we done so much harm to the US’s stature in the world, damaged our future so much. Previous attempts to ruin education for religious or other malicious reasons have been mostly local, never before has there been such an attempt to control education across the board, everywhere, at every level
I also wonder …… while it’s a safe bet that he didn’t change with that event, it was also one of the first times he strayed into something he knew nothing about to show his true nutbaggery. When he was talking about his companies, his products, that side of him didn’t really come out more did it really affect anyone outside his employees. That event made it clear the world was hanging on his every word and really shouldnt
I wish them great success. Not only were they greatly wronged, which could cost future jobs, but in the rush for clicks, too many streamers think that freedom of speech also means free from the consequences of their words. That needs to change
Akshully……
federal officials stated a preference for Amtrak, the station’s owner, to partner with private investors on the renovation
There’s a concept of an idea of who would pay for it
Given that Harris won the state at 61%, that’s about as red as it gets
A lot of choices don’t seem to be available in the US - Hyundai/kia seems best of what else is available in a lot of ways. I originally hoped the legacy American manufacturers were getting their shit together but it looks like they’re crawling back under their rocks.
I guess my biggest hope is that Lucid or Rivian are able to break out into mass production of their next generation
Yeah, it’s unfortunate. I bought mine when we could still ignore the red flags and it’s still my favorite car feature wise, there are still so many things it does better than any car, still so many features not available on other vehicles for any price. The comparisons with Apple are apt - I could have been a lifelong customer. But wtf mental illness happened here? For the first time ever I’m embarrassed by what I drive. I don’t know what I’ll do next time I need a car, but it won’t be a Tesla without radical changes in leadership - and that Nazi is only the start. Every board member and executive who thinks that’s ok has to go
I’m also concerned with the “fraud, waste and corruption “ that was the infrastructure bill. It’s becoming more and more clear we’re sitting on a timebomb of infrastructure built over a century ago and that we’ve ignored for at least half a century. It’s going to keep getting worse and worse , keep getting more expensive to repair: we’re way past time to invest in infrastructure and that was only the start toward getting back in a decent state of repair.
… just watching a video where they were debating whether it’s worth to rebuild a 137 year old tunnel in heavy use. How is that even a question?
If only people saying that were aware of their logic flaw of also cutting funding to fusion research
It’s probably as simple as we already have something successful. Why spend time and effort overcoming the challenges to create new reactor technology with many of the same benefits and shortcomings as we already have?
I know the arguments for thorium and can see that being a huge benefit to places without a mature nuclear industry and without developed fuel sources.
Sure it would be somewhat better for us as well, but the biggest limitations will be the same. You’re still impeded by fears of radioactivity even if it is less. You still have radioactive waste to handle even if it’s less and less long lasting. You still have legal and regulatory challenges driving costs and timelines through the roof. Thorium hasn’t won the war of public perception, so is no better in the things that actually impede its use
Wait, this is really the flag? Now I’m imagining all sorts of femdom fanfic online
Then again we can certainly do worse, and have, than porn portraying liberty and justice dominating oppression
Just need ai image generation to advance enough that the Live Photo doesn’t have 6 fingers
It’s effective. If you listen to interviews where people give reasons they voted for mango Mussolini, it’s invariably something he declared regardless of reality or evidence.
It shouldn’t take much listening to the guy to realize everything he says is BS but apparently some people only hear what they want to, and take that as fact
And we’ve never really seen that go anywhere.
All that bloody history building an empire to collect spices and foods from around the world … how does this even count as food.
bland Indian food? Especially that. That’s a crime against one of the worlds great culinary traditions
If I were to spend £4 on a meal, I prefer an egg
My kids school “boxes” phones if you’re caught using them or they interrupt class. They lock them inside a clear plastic case and let you carry that.
This avoids liability because the kid still has possession of their phone and can still see an emergency text or call. The can’t interact with the phone but can get a teacher to unlock if there’s a visible emergency text
