I seem to remember the Iraq-area wars that the US was involved in going on far longer and less of an oil crisis happening this fast.

That would be because even during those wars and conflicts, we didn't have an orange-painted pedophilic retard with delusions of grandeur causing a weekslong blockage of the major shipping lane through which ~35% of the world's crude oil trade flows.

The closest we've seen recently was when the Ever Given got stuck in the Suez during 2021, and even that only lasted for 6 days. Plus, it wasn't as big a deal because less oil was being used worldwide during pandemic countermeasures.

The closest in the past 100 years is when Treasonous Klanbitch Ronny Reagan betrayed the USA and convinced the Iranian Ayatollah to cut off shipping to hurt Carter in the 1980 election, in trade for guns and other military supplies that the Treasonshit Republicans paid out later during Reagan's terms.

Not really. Google proposed these limitations, letting them claim proudly "hey, we proposed this!"

They didn't require these limitations, so my suspicion is Pentagon will say no, the deal will be classified so nobody will know, and Google will get the credit they want for "trying."

Ugh, yeah. My grandparents lived in Germany in the early 40s and told me stories about having to take the train to some sort of camp. Really terrible experience. Would not recommend.

Will they have their batteries always connected to the internet like they force us to do with our cars? I think not. Commercial and Industrial applications understand the concept of zero trust security and being able to lock your stuff down and would literally laugh if they were forced to keep it online all the time even when there is no documented need for them to be online, but yet they force owners to trust them (trust is and never should be a security model) and owners should always have the ability to lock out the manufacturer when there is not a documented need. Even homeowner EV's are still regularly connected to the grid and should be able to be locked down to the OWNERS specification, not the manufacturer.

If there's live theater available where you live, it's almost certainly so, SO much better. The content, whether an old favorite or a new play, is superior. The performers, amateur or professional, really invest themselves in their work -- and so does everyone else, from set design to lighting. The audiences, and I know this is shocking, actually pay attention rather than talking or playing with their phones. There's no 30 minutes of ad torture, the theater's at a sensible temperature, the volume is appropriate, and there's usually an intermission so that you can do...whatever you like.

The cost per ticket is higher (although the difference is becoming less all the time), but the money goes into a local business staffed by local people. And most local theaters charge only what they have to in order to stay solvent -- they don't try to extract every last penny so that some corporate vice president can put in a third swimming pool at their second mansion. Local theater is part of the community and not part of the extraction economy, and they could really use your support.

Cue the Corrupt MafiAA starting another assault on digital preservation. Sigh.

Rather than try to paraphrase, let me point to The Importance of Forgetting | Episteme | Cambridge Core and Why forgetting is beneficial and Why Forgetting is Good for Your Memory among many, MANY other sources that easy to find with a search.

If you don't want to read those, here's the TL;DR version: forgetting isn't a bug; it's a feature. It serves a critical function in our cognition, and it has evolved to serve that function over millions of years.

These idiots are trying to tamper with natural forces that they don't understand and don't respect, and they're doing it with zero regard for the consequences to human society. Just like Crichton's scientists in Jurassic Park, there's no humility, only ambition and greed.

It's also a TREMENDOUS performance advantage. The benchmark in TFA doesn't reflect real-life usage as most sites, even javascript-heavy ones, spend 90% or more time on ads and tracking. That "instant auction" for whom gets to rape your eyeballs is anything but instant.

You clearly need to learn a little about gas dynamics. It's all about partial pressure.

Air is about 20% oxygen. So humans need about 20% oxygen at one atmosphere to function well under most exertion levels. You can do with less, but let's ignore that for now.

If you reduced the habitat pressure to 1/5 ATM then you could easily survive in pure oxygen. In fact, if you were building a long term habitat you'd want the lowest internal pressure which is survivable to reduce the stresses on its hull. So 1/5 atmospheres seems sensible.

Keep in mind that hospitals regularly pump pure O2 into masks or intubated patients with relatively few risks.

Also keep in mind that those little masks that drop in planes produce pure O2 from a sodium chlorate reaction.

It's quite possible to breathe pure oxygen without issues.

This man doesn't care what he breaks or destroys, who he hurts or kills. There is absolutely no compassion or empathy in him. He's a monster.

If you think that's harsh, first let me assure that it's not. Second: read the article. And third: or just pay attention to what he's said and done.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." --- Maya Angelou

While they're pulling out their fainting couch and pretending to be wounded, let's look at:

Facebook says it sold $100,000 in ads to fake Russian accounts during presidential election - ABC News
Facebook’s dark ads problem is systemic
Facebook political ads were actually scams and malware
Facebook Reportedly Targeted LGBTQ Users with “Gay Cure” Ads
Shadowy Facebook Ads That Pushed Trump Are Back in Alabama
Facebook allows job ads that discriminate against women, ACLU says
Facebook Axed Pro-Vaccine Ads From Hospitals and Health Orgs, Let Anti-Vaxxer Ads Slip Through
Facebook will allow UK election candidates to run false ads - CNN
Facebook 'scam' posing as Trump campaign ran political ads, sought donations - CNN

And all of those are prior to 2020; there are plenty more, I've just gotten tired of pasting links.

The women he walked in on, who WERE UNDERAGE TEENS AT THE TIME, remember him doing it.

iOS has that marketshare now because countries other than the USA (in the Asian zone and Eurozone) caught Apple doing monopolistic things and acted to stop it early.

Wait. You say Microsoft is doing the same thing they've done a dozen times before, again? I'm shocked, I say. Shocked.

........ well, not that shocked.

Basically the EFF exists to defend pedo rights

You are disturbingly confused and thinking of the (GOP) RetardedKlan Party whose head is a literal 34-time convicted felon, pedophile who admitted in a Howard Stern video to invading locker rooms of underage girls at pageants, and all-around Treasonous Shitrag who wears caked orange makeup to hide his syphilis blemishes.
