His dithering, weak, incoherent performance in the debate? Or is that already forgotten?

Seriously, there’s better eating on a pigeon, and they’re easier to catch.

It’s a lot easier to build when you can tear down people’s houses anytime you like to make way for the train tracks.

And until that long-lead-time investment in public transport pays off, we’ll still need cars, and the choice is gas, hybrid or electric.

How convenient for them.

That’s good. Those goods are straight from factory to landfill, with only a brief operational life.

Yeah, the Russians are winning at the rate of 1000 dead or injured Russians per day and are having trouble press-ganging more young Russian men to be thrown into the meatgrinder. Their own manufacturing capability can’t keep their troops supplied, their losses of artillery and tanks exceed their ability to replenish them, and they’re buying ammunition and light armaments from Iran and China with money they don’t have.

And their three-day war is well into year 3.

If Russia is rewarded for its aggression, they are not going to stop with Ukraine. You’re not getting peace by appeasing them, you’re getting a guarantee of more war, more massive civilian casualties, more refugees, increasingly close to currently secure Western countries. Russia will not stop until it is forced to stop.

That’s what he did (and more) for the Taliban.

Someone must have thought that’s where the pet kitchens were located.

The commonly used optical disk technologies degrade over time. CD-RW more rapidly than CDR. It’s even worse for higher-density media.

Paper doesn’t last centuries. Anyway, punched cards don’t have a storage density that’s adequate for modern data volumes. You need something that’ll durably store nanometre-sized marks.

Do you think we have ORIGINALS or Greek or roman written texts?

In some cases we do. For example, the documents at Pompeii, those at Qumran, and other rare instances where documents have been preserved from the time they’re written. It’s also true that we have far more copies than originals, and that we’ve lost most of the works of many ancient authors.

There wasn’t a first debate. That was more of an ass-whipping. It was like watching a has-been WWE clown try to go into the ring with Tyson at his prime. Trump never engaged in debate, he just blathered and yammered like a demented, incontinent old racist.

And hand Trump over to the Kurds so they can show him their appreciation for his betrayal when he was President.

I have only two questions:

1. Who elected Elon Musk?

2. What can we do to make him go away?

Show me where in the article it says he was arrested for a TOS violation.

They got Robert Maxwell for it. He wasn’t at all poor.

Gaining money from someone else by lying and/or deception. The legal term for that is fraud-- in this case, wire fraud.

Only if Guido developed Python with the specific and exclusive intent being that it should be used for that purpose, and even then it wouldn’t be an open-and-shut case. And since it was developed over 25 years ago, that’s more than a bit unlikely.

The “selling things online” idea had been tried repeatedly before Amazon, and always failed. What Bezos did was find a way to actually (eventually) make money at it. That was a business strategy tour de force that was quite impressively executed. That’s not to say that Bezos is a good employer or a nice person. But it’s often the case that it’s not the originality of the idea that matters, as much as how it’s executed.
