Another day, another google debunk failure on your part.
Not one single one of those links demonstrated that it was a serious problem.
You'd know that if you had actually read them instead of googling and copying links like a fucking dipshit.
Each one of them provides a handy number of households for impact gauging- and oh my god, I'm here to tell you that I think Arizona will survive the loss of the annual water supply of 45,000 single-family homes. Especially since it has about 1.3 fucking million of them.

We grow crops for lots of reasons other than for human consumption.

We sure do. Like your gasoline. And letting them rot. Both of which subsidized by your government. Both using many hundred times the water in question here.

You never get tired of being a failure, do you?

But would we? If WB goes under and its bones get picked apart by Netflix and Paramount and whomever all that content doesn't go away, those producers get rehired, we're down a streaming service anyways, their catalog an assets are split up what did we as consumers lose out on long term? More fragmenting and siloing of content? I guess some convenience is lost but really do we lose or is most of the loss for the shareholders?

That would be like saying when Apple switched from PowerPC to Intel CPU is was revolutionary.

No, it wouldn't.
Is that how you think analogies work?

Switching CPU architecture to a different common CPU architecture isn't what I'd call "revolutionary".

Well that depends, doesn't it?
If you put a V8 in a car, not so revolutionary. Put an RB-25 on the back of it? Pretty fucking revolutionary.
So, putting a motor in that dramatically changes the characteristics of this thing vs. what existed before- can be revolutionary, can't it?

ARM chips weren't new when they made the switch

lol. Are you trolling?
Arm (it's not capitalized) chips with power comparable (not to mention better) than any PC mobile-class chip were absolutely new when they made the switch.
Hell, they're still the only game in town, there.

other desktop OSes were already running on ARM by that point.

Oh, totally. Your shitty Raspberry Pi is completely comparable to a device that performs 14x better than it.
Come the fuck on.

Now, if they had suddenly come out with MacOS on something new like a quantum CPU, then we'd be talking.

One wonders if you know what a quantum CPU is. Given how ignorant your comment was, I'm going to go with no. I won't explain to you why there'd be nothing revolutionary about putting a quantum CPU into a computer, any more so than putting a water faucet in place of the motor in your car.

Apple Silicon CPUs in a laptop put the power of a workstation-class laptop in the power envelope of a netbook.
To this day, you cannot find a comparison of a PC and a MacBook that doesn't sacrifice every shred of intellectual honesty the person has,.
You can have better performance, if you don't mind 2 hours of battery life, and you can have half as much battery life as the MacBook, if you don't mind the performance of a Nintendo Switch.

There's upping things a notch, and then there is smashing through the glass ceiling, and that is revolutionary.

That one's a little tickly.
You're undeniably right that the pardon power definitely makes it so that consequences of ignoring an injunction are nil, I personally wouldn't test it to too much extent. It's basically a constitutional crisis. If the Supreme Court considers an injunction legal, then it is, by definition, legal. If the President ignores this, he is, by definition, a criminal, and has violated his oath of office. Not saying it can't technically happen- but realistically- it doesn't happen.

There's also the problem with non-Federal courts, which the Executive has no pardon power over.

This page contains 2 references to 1 event, which funny enough is the event in link 2.

So, what you've got here is 1 drone strike. No casualties.
320 drones.
As for their strikes against US targets, we've got 0 successful hits out of 170 drones.
Combined, 1 hit, no casualties, for 490 drones.
So it's not quite 1:1000, but 1:490 is still just as laughable.

You have got to he the laziest fucking attempted google debunker ever. Or maybe the goal is to just waste my time demonstrating that you're a moron.

K-12 is for core material kids need to either survive life post graduation or as the platform upon which a higher education is built.

Not really. One glance at a modern (post-mid-1950) curriculum will show you that.

At no point do they need to know the 6372 fake genders or about the fake inequality that isn't going on that people like you push.

I hope they can still teach students about a strawman argument.

You live in the most free and open minded era in human history and cry how you can't push your agenda on kids in your state run prison and call it oppression. Ridiculous.

Democracy and freedom isn't free. You have to fight for it every day. The religious right wants to take away my human rights and your human rights, and if you want to carry water for them then be prepared to serve underneath them on day.

I voted to have people like you shutdown in the presence of children who legally can't escape your grasp. Go fund some Google ads or something if you want to push your crap. You do not get to use my tax dollars for it.

Free forum is a free soapbox. I couldn't give two shits about your insufferable opinion of other people's opinions. But I think you already know that, other Slashdotters are certainly communicated a similar sentiment to you before.

I'm sure to your scared little brain, that's exactly what's going on. Fortunately for you, FSM invented benzodiazepines.
The political situation in the US is pretty fucked at the moment, but court tolerance of the shooting of civilians is the lowest it has ever been.

Ya, that's separate though.

Apple's transition to x86 was not revolutionary. Apple Silicon is.
It quite literally changed the face of the laptop market.

Where previously, the more powerful the computer you had, the less portable it was, now you could have a laptop as powerful as the most powerful PC laptops, that lasted as long as the most battery-conservative netbooks.
Changes to Apple Silicon since, and throwing it in iPads- not revolutionary. Just iterative upgrades. But Apple Silicon laptops broke the laptop mold.
