“Algorithmic timeline” might be appropriately specific?

There you go conflating Jews and Israel. Apart from that you have an arguable point.

That’s not exactly what happened. Starlink was already disabled in Crimea when the attack was launched and Musk refused to enable it specifically for the attack. Then the initial reports got a bit tangled up.

But yes, none of this should be up to Musk.

Twice around the hickenloop.

That’s just not true. Go to https://ev-database.org/ and compare the dry weight of the different models. You don’t add 66kg going from standard to long range in software.

Frankly eating in all the time was a net positive, I’m in the best shape of my life

Eating out is a lot better for me after I moved to Italy, so there is that. And living in Italy and having to make do with my own cooking would be Very Sad. But yeah, context matters a lot. The Italians took this stuff very seriously the first time around and vaccination rates were really high when I was neaurotically tracking it. I should look up the annual booster rate.

I don’t know where you are, but I’d be less comfortable in an air conditioned eatery in Texas than outside a restaurant in Rome (where I was at the height). And with the current numbers I should probably start avoiding crowds and recirculated air again.

I’m fine with never eating out again.

Yeah, that would be a severe degradation of life for me, so that’s a no-go unless the probabilities shift back to where they were in 2020-22ish.

Are you waiting for something to change or will you do this for the rest of your life?

I stopped when we had as much vaccine protection as we were going to get and the virus wasn’t causing quite as severe disease any more. Forever is a long time.

How about Schengen, though? Is there a mechanism for permanently expelling a member from that? Or do we have to permanently close their borders temporarily?

…which suspend their voting rights. While those rights are suspended, change the treaties so that it takes at least 3 members to veto any action of the EU.

That’s just his taxoplasma communicating with your taxoplasma. Nothing to worry about.

Ask ChatGPT?

Sadly it answered in a sensible and boring way.

Directly injecting veggie fiber into your colon is not safe and can cause serious harm. The colon is sensitive, and introducing substances directly into it without proper medical guidance can lead to infections, injuries, or other complications. It’s essential to consume fiber through a proper diet or approved supplements. If you’re experiencing digestive issues or concerns about fiber intake, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional for safe and effective solutions.

The EU has declared Twitter and a few others to be gate-keepers and they will now be held to a higher standard. But I don’t think the EU is going to use this power to save US democracy.

They are covered by the “one of” part of the sentence. And the current Greek democratic system is not old in the sense that the US system is old.

Greek democracy has also been far from continuous, if we want to take that into account.

34th Rule of acquisition.

Well played

Correct. But if we stop blowing money on Orban and his cronies, then it can be sent to Ukraine instead.

Noice. That makes €10.8billion for Ukraine.

If only your dad had had this pill

It’s like letting auto complete always pick the next word in the sentence without typing anything yourself. But fancier.
