And if your Mom saw that post and knew it was yours, I'm sure she'd wash your mouth out with soap, and ground you for a week. Of course, you had enough sense to post as AC for plausible deniability.

The job of a cop is to arrest people or give them tickets.

And which filthy, unsanitary orifice did you pull that nasty piece of anti-police propaganda out of? No, that's not their job. Their job is to maintain order, and sometimes that can best be done by arresting whoever's disrupting order, or by giving them a ticket. If they can prevent or end a breach of the piece without any arrests or tickets, so much the better.

My limited exerience with AI in technical areas is that don't discern between the various quality of reports, and seem to value quantity over quality.

Of course today's AIs only value quantity and ignore quality. In order to value quality they'd have to be able to evaluate the input and to do that, they'd have to understand it. Current AIs don't understand anything, which is why they hallucinate so much and can't give any value to quality.

I don't know where you got the idea that it was unlawful to use the military to put down cases of riot, insurrection or other forms of civil disorder, but it's part of the civil government's responsibility to retain order, including calling on the military for assistance if needed.

Tell me, if you were in charge of New York City when the New York City Draft Riots broke out in July 1863, what would you have done? Would you have called for military assistance, and if not, why not?

Apologies... when they said they planned on the "biggest, baddest CPU," I naturally assumed they were talking about x86 desktop and server processors, not lean, sensible, small-scale processors like ARM, MIPS, and RISC-V.

That's a tad off-topic, but it's a serious claim and deserves a bit of attention. There are a number of countries that already have single-payer medicine for all and have done so for a fairly long time. How do their cancer rates, both in terms of cases and survival, compare with those of the USA? That's a serious question, because you're claiming that that system is better than what the US has now.

Not just that, they have nuns who moonlight as forensic specialists for the local constabulary.

There's a two-word concept that covers everything you're trying to say about fact checking an other similar activities: due diligence. If you'd known to use it, it would have simplified your post considerably and it doesn't take a law degree to be familiar with it.

It's like if turkey was no longer available at the store...I'd just eat chicken instead....

And that's what the situation was with turkey up until the early to mid '60; the only time turkey was available in the markets was Thanksgiving, and then it was only whole birds. If you wanted turkey any other time of the year, you either had to find a restaurant that had it on the menu or special order one from your butcher. Then, somebody had the idea of splitting them in half lengthwise and selling half turkeys. That went over so well that they continued on with quarters, and finally turkey parts were available year round. Now, you can get frozen ducks and geese, and, depending on where you are, quail. When it comes to poultry, things have gotten much better here over the last half century.

As does startpage.com. Does DDG keep logs? Startpage doesn't.

Does this also say something more about the "coffee nap"?

Also the irony is that Disney freaking plagiarized and used stories in the PUBLIC DOMAIN...

No, that's not what happened because once something enters the Public Domain, nobody owns it any more, and anybody who wants is free to use it however they want. That's why Disney sticks to stories in the Public Domain so that they don't have to pay royalties.

I can confidently predict rsilvergun is going to do exactly what he always does: nothing. He's not the slightest bit interested in doing anything about whatever he's complaining about any more than the intelligentsia of pre-revolution Russia were, but like them, he's only interested in complaining.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to use the Shift key on the other side of the keyboard so that your other hand is free to move away from the home row if needed to reach a key on the top row. That's why there are two Shift keys HTH, HAND
