Comment Re:Was it a Russian drone? (Score 2) 145

The rule of felony murder is a legal doctrine in some common law jurisdictions that broadens the crime of murder: when someone is killed in the commission of a dangerous or enumerated crime, the offender, and also the offender's accomplices or co-conspirators, may be found guilty of murder. The concept of felony murder originates in the rule of transferred intent. In its original form, the malicious intent inherent in the commission of any crime, however trivial, was considered to apply to any consequences of that crime regardless of intent Continued in Wikipedia

IANAL but I'll say that I had some understanding beyond just an old wives tales. Found on my first search, first hit.

but if Ukraine accidentally or purposefully popped the dome over Chernobyl (which I am not accusing them of doing) then it is their fault, period.

Depends on the legal system. Russia(armed thug) robs liqueur store(Ukraine) the clerk(reactor dome) was shot by someone while "crime" was being comited. Most courts send the armed thug up for murder regardless of who brought the bullets. With legal matters their is no "period."

... when something works beating it to death with repetition and increasing political correctness until even the hardest core fans wont watch it,

I think that's more of an advertising problem, ad buyers want the biggest main stream payout. Never underestimate these fuckers, its the ads, the show doesn't mean shit.

Only thing that matters is libs have found a way to profit from it, and control every facet of your life.

Maybe they are trying to just breath, unfortunately they will also keep you alive. Both sides are guilty of confrontation over cooperation, I don't like wokeness but its better than the shit were using right now. The pronoun crowd are nice enough but a little weird, you guys are fucking nuts.

I have bad news, in the end its not the libs that will steal your money and or wreck your home.

Funny word "profit", Corp USA only protects million dollar golf club members in the current GOP administration. The answer for this problem is to limit campaign contributions. Every politician has some one stuffing money down his shorts for his vote, that's who he represents.

These machines fail at recognizing the most simple and obvious rules or contexts.

This may not be their intended purpose, maybe its control. We have a shit tonne of CEOs all lined up to guzzle the Kool-aid and they want to drag us along with them. The owner of the AI thinks they control what it will and won't do.

How many people are going to blindly accept AI is the real question. I have a hard time convincing anyone this is mostly Wall street bullshit. If you never tried ELIZA as a kid then it won't hit you hard with what it really is.

Now get into the van, of course we have candy!

The new pledge of allegiance, we had that in the 60's public schools. You stand with you class mates, and parrot patriotic drivel, ending with "With Liberty and Justice for all." I figured out at a tender young age there was an addendum, "Who can afford it."

Can't I just have an app on my phone to check the humidity without an internet connection?

1) If thingy doesn't work without internet put it back in the box and return it. 2) Never use ISPs built in router, just buy a good router, and use it with any ISP. You don't have to reset the router, when not if, the modem goes kaput.
