Deliberately formed a number of minority controlled governments, with a mandate to kill the majority ethnic group if they got out of line.

Israel was one of these, but hardly the only one.

The main players in the Middle East have been fighting for the last 3,000

That’s wildly ahistorical.

What you’re describing is the Ottoman Empire, a region that was largely stable and peaceful for centuries.

In and out. Twenty minute quagmire.

You can just withdraw if things go bad, because it’s not like Iran will continue to bombard US and Israeli bases if we just shout “Time Out” loudly enough.

Speed running the Tet Offensive in weeks rather than years

It’s so simple even a Republican can use it

induction roadways

Do you mean railways?

they were within their rights to refuse to do business with the US government, and I don’t agree that the response to them refusing it should be the US government blacklist their company

I mean… you want to refuse business but you don’t want to be refused business?

How does that work?

They’re just trying to get clicks. It’s attention seeking behavior, not real concern for public policy.

FIRE has always been a corporate friendly libertarian-right organization. They post this stuff because they need to appear relevant to their sponsors.

Eh. Depending on where those parts were sourced…

It’s the rocket ship problem.

You need fuel to move the fuel that moves the fuel that moves the rocket

Less, now that we shut down the Straight of Hormuz

Or it wasn’t. Very possible he was simply gifted the NFT and lied about the price.

A bunch of the early 20s NFT sales were wash sales

we had eradicated it

Clearly we hadn’t.

We horded the vaccine domestically, patented efficient methods for manufacturer and distribution, and curtailed it’s use in states we considered too poor or too evil.

Some of the highest rates of measles today can be found in Yemen, a country we’ve been bombing since the early '10s.

We didn’t exterminate the disease. We incubated it. And now we’re reaping what we’ve sown.

Would pay to read a news journal that included “poll of how much we expected” and “tally of results” included in the footnotes for any of these headlines

I give it another two weeks before CBS runs an hour long special explaining how the Iranians bombed their own girl’s school.

Nursing is the nation’s largest healthcare profession, with nearly 4.7 million registered nurses (RNs) nationwide

Anyone stupid enough to be paying more than $0 deserves to get rooked.

Who is going to remove it? Trump’s friend Tim Cook? Trump’s friend Jeff Bezos? Trump’s friend Sundar Pichai? Or Trump’s friend Satya Nadella?

What, no Microslop?

No way this runs on Windows. It’s Linux or bust.

They trained a tiny patch of neurons to respond to low-voltage electric impulses. The cells don’t know they’re playing Doom. They don’t have any kind of social context or even video feedback.

Imagine if I stuck you in a sensory deprivation chamber, handed you an NES controller, and asked you to hit the buttons. Then, periodically, I said “Yes” or “No” based on the buttons you pressed. And when I pulled you out of the tube at the end of an hour, I told you “the yes and no messages were intended to encourage you to correctly navigate Mario through the first level of the original game.” What if, instead of Mario, I’d been telling you how to play Street Fighter?

It doesn’t matter if its Doom. They likely picked Doom because the I/O is so rudimentary that you can install the game on practically anything. The cellular matter has no idea what it’s doing beyond the “Yes/No” signaling.
