Hmmm… This brings up an interesting question for the physics nerds out there.

The desired termination of the CEO is the sudden stop at the end of the flight.

When using a catapult or trebuchet, excessive force exerted during launch would terminate the CEO immediately. This would deprive the CEO of his last luxury flight. .

What the the maximum distance a catapult or trebuchet can throw the CEO while achieving this result? Assume the CEO weighs 100kg’s and is 165cm tall.

Your great uncle used to be a farmer. Now he’s a parasite on other farmers as a landlord.

Who owns farms: overwhelmingly it’s inherited wealth in trust to avoid paying taxes and run by incorporated entities.

Are the workers being adequately compensated… The answer changes depending on what color your skin is and where you were born.

Gotta add on another level.

Zoning laws and HOA’s give larger construction companies a significant competitive advantage over smaller companies. This limits competition and drives up the cost while also degrading the average quality of the construction as the larger companies seek to maximize profits.

I never use any voice commands for my phone. So I disable it and uninstall all voice related apps and settings.

An unexpected benefit was this significantly improves the overall performance of the phone.

It doesn’t it’s a myth.

Lots of alcohol plus 4lbs of sugar, ouch.

Wouldn’t that also potentially mess up the kidneys as well?

4 lbs… Seriously how?.. I can hardly get through 1oz. It’s too much sugar.

The most likely explanation is that kaolinite clay is known to reduce nausea and diarrhea.

Tuapse was I believe the first time Ukraine went for the total destruction of the facilities. All the other hits have been at strategic targets that disabled key processes.

It’s sign of a massive shift in air superiority in favor of Ukraine.

I’m not an expert but from my understanding the soviet’s tactics were quite a bit different from Ukraines.

The soviet’s continuously threw away lives to stop the German advance. Constant attacks tossing way soldiers lives but slowly degrading the German supplies and manpower. The Soviet’s also lost most of their industry early on in the war. Most of it was located in regions that Germany conquered quickly or their airpower wrecked in the early months of the war.

The only reason they were able to stop the German advance at all was because of the massive amount of goods and weapons supplied by England and the U.S.

Ukraine has set up heavily defended kill zones with multi-layered defenses. Russia’s continuous attacks are chewed up in theses zones. Eventually Russia degrades the defenses enough that Ukraine retreats to the next prepared zone and starts over fresh. Ukraine has slowly lost ground but Russias entire Soviet era stockpiles have been decimated with these tactics.

Agriculture in the U.S. is in a deep recession right now. Farmers are going out of business left and right due to disruptions in international trade caused by the orange moron.

Globally farmers are doing much better by taking advantage of the U.S. shooting themselves repeatedly in the foot.

As for fertilizer shortages, most of the northern hemisphere had already stocked up on supply over the winter in preparation for spring planting. So the effect there will be minimal.

The effects will be felt first in the tropical/sub-tropical regions as they rely on a more constant supply to match their planting seasons.

Next year is fucked globally however. The southern hemisphere will get it first starting in September This will send prices soaring during the northern hemisphere winter pricing/contacting.

Growers will cut back on fertilizer purchases initially but still do okay as speculation of lower yeilds will spike commodity prices. The spike in prices will hit consumers a little bit over the winter and really get going in spring 2027.

This is has always been the glaring issue with pure democracies.

That’s why constitutional republics were created. It’s supposed to be a counter to the negative side of democracy. The constitution is supposed to be continuously updated and refined with the changing needs of the Republic.

FYI the last constitutional amendment to the U.S. was in 1992. That is 34 years ago. Unless something changes radically in the next few years, historians will refer to that date as when the U.S. Constitution died.

It’s made some pretty significant additions lately that makes it a viable replacement for Nova.

Not even going to bother trying to translate it. Their idea is fucking stupid with zero support.

English overtook French as the primary international language due to economic power of the English speaking countries. Even when French was the international language it was not that popular. Only the elites and well educated spoke the language outside of native speakers. Both Spanish and Mandarin have more native speakers than English today.

English has a huge amount of people who speak it as a secondary language. The total amount of people who speak it today is estimated to be 1.5 billion. It is the most common language spoke around the world.

The barriers to reverse this trend on a global scale and swap to another language is almost laughably difficult today.

Automation reduces repetitive common tasks. It always fails when a task is outside the average range. The more complex a task, the lower the probability is to achieve successful automation.

What the techbros and billionaires don’t understand is that most jobs that exist today are because of their difficulty in automating already. Seemingly simple jobs have hidden complexity.

Since my job is highly complex, non-repetative, with a very high degree of non-recorded specialized knowledge, my fear of a LLM replacing me approaches zero.

30+ years ago in school I was tasked with writing an essay on Israel. In just a few days of researching I noticed that everything the Palestinians were doing looked like desperate guerrilla warfare against a superior force. Their tactics made no sense otherwise.

That’s when I asked… Why? And started researching what Israel was doing. Holy Fuck… Today it’s more obvious with their open genocide but they have been doing this shit for 50+ years quietly. This isn’t something new. This isn’t the current leadership. This is a fundemental cultural belief that they are superior and can kill, maim, abuse and steal from any other ethnic group. The zionist group is as bad or worse than any other extremist group around.

No severance doesn’t effect your eligibility for unemployment. It does often reduce the number of claims however. Many people live off the severance until in runs out, then claim employment. You can also claim unemployment while still actively receiving severance pay.

Severance is usually tied to a non-disclosure agreement. If they want to enforce them, compensation is usually required in most states.

This is why I have learned to immediately max out the RAM on the motherboard for my wife when I replace her machine.

Some of these webpages are absolutely stupid in how much they load. She likes to have 40 or 50 tabs open all the time.
