It was the megacorps that backed the woke trans agenda. Amazon, Microsoft, Google (remember James Damore's memo saying that men and women were different?)

And then a transformer shot zir way through a school of white Christian children solely for their identity and shortly thereafter Biden declared a trans holiday? ON EASTER!

Don't think this wasn't deliberate because it was. How many of you got the day off at work for this holiday?

Sorry, but the USA is nowhere near the top when it comes to over-prescribing antibiotics. Iran tops the list, where "more than half of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions... lacked medical justification." Heck, I was on a vacation in Mexico a few years ago and my kid got an eye infection (we first noticed it when getting on the plane to go there). The doctor at the resort prescribed antibiotic eye drops, an oral antibiotic, *and* an immediate antibiotic injection. I admit that it cleared up pretty fast, but holy crap I've never seen a doctor do that before.

Literally a "hot seat"

I agree. The functions provided by this bed do not require internet connectivity AT ALL, let alone some ridiculous cloud based architecture. $5000 is enough to include a $200 miniPC to monitor temp and positional sensors.

Ban the dumb, lying, hallucinating, sycophantic, power-hungry insanity we have now and bring AI online only after it's proven to be reliable.

As a control systems engineer, putting the control loop through the cloud is absolutely ridiculous. Sure, make it so you can change the setting from your phone, assuming you know how to setup secure communication, but the control loop needs to be local. This is just dumb engineering.

Okay, Ivan.

SLS is super-successful, just not at putting people on the moon. The real goal of the program was to give federal money handouts to all the former space industry suppliers spread all over the country from the space shuttle years. That's why it was built right into the funding legislation that the SLS had to be created from space shuttle technology, like the main engines and the (upgraded) solid rocket boosters. It's an absurd example of pork barrel politics, especially now that SpaceX is proving you can do it all with far lower cost per kg to orbit, and true re-usability (at least for the first stage).

My neighbor works at the facility that's being shut down. After investing ~$2 billion to re-tool the plant for "state of the art" EV production, it's pretty sad to see all these jobs just go up in smoke, with no alternative production slated. It's so wasteful of resources.

James Damore won a rongful termination lawsuit in California, the state that protects its workers from abuse by megabillion dollar corporations.

But good do see you're on the side of the CEOs and against the little guy.

Speak truth to the powerless!

Well, you have to question the morals of a Hamas supporter, don't you? I mean if you're chanting things like "from the river to the sea", how are you not advocating for genocide yourself? It's not like the Palestinians wouldn't wipe all the Jewish people off the map if they had the chance.

The wikipedia page has a pretty good summary of what it means.

Did you even do any searching yourself? The wikipedia page lists several cities that tried it to various degrees.

Your privacy will be violated any which way, but you won't feel it.

All joking aside, a few years ago defunding the police was a policy that was seriously pushed in many cities throughout the US. A few actually tried it. Not only did it have the rather obvious effect of increasing crime rates, but it invariably hurt the communities it was intended to help the most. It just pays to keep a skeptical attitude about all new policy initiatives, no matter who is putting them forward. Most of the policies we currently have, though imperfect, were created for some kind of reason. It's not stupid to demand change, but it's stupid to demand change when you have no idea what problem the current policies were created to solve. I'm not sure why we have to keep learning this lesson the hard way.
