77,302,580 people is not half of America. It is 49.8% of the folks that bothered to vote.
More usefully,
In the 2024 presidential election, 73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote and 65.3% (or 154 million people) voted according to new voting and registration tables released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.
I likely ordered it. So thank the waiter and start eating.
I can read a menu.
Yes. With rechargeable batteries, or some obvious way to change the batteries.
Do be certain to advertise them here, so that I am aware these are even for sale. Or take preorders for my shoe size. (Why in the hell is everything NOT a preorder these days?)
Anything than to have to fix my life.
I don’t shower as I don’t want the females to think I am gay. I don’t read, study, or try so I am not a nerd. I work a deadend job to prove I am “self made”. I avoid the “roids”, the gym, and exercising, which saves me so much time.
I cannot read the article, but this seems like a non-issue.
Loads of old Wikipedia pages are essentially complete. Just freeze them.
And didn’t the Wikipedia foundation have years worth of funding already? And wouldn’t fewer visitors imply less need for server and bandwidth?
Current events need editors, and those will have controversy. I expect primary news sources would be better for anything less than a week old.
A Wikipedia that freezes at 2024 would still be of great value.
Clearly, I am missing the problem.
Outside of literal mobs, is that true?
I get that groups of people make stupid decisions, especially committees. However, that seems more like “compromising to pointlessness” and redirecting energy away from useful action, than a “mob mentality”.
I understand the failure rates for the GPUs is huge. The duty cycles tend to be high, with power and cooling issues.
(Actually the power issues are wild and can destroy power distribution and generation equipment. “Power Stabilization for AI Training Datacenters” 21 Aug 2025 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.14318)
Another advantage of cookbooks. (There are good ones, but a lot are junk.)
Whoa Whoa.
The story of Noah’s Ark is not about saving animals. It is about surviving a calamity that one saw coming, AND NOT saving more of humanity. This way one and their children can become insanely wealthy, and nearly the only humans.
When one needed an elephant, where did they go? To Noah. Need a chicken? Noah! Need help due to your house washing away, killing you and your family? That’s right, Noah!
Jesus would be rolling over in his grave, except he left that and is not there.
I fully expect OpenAI and the others are already doing this. And this is why the USA wants to keep China from developing better AI. Not for better AI, but to keep spying on corporate secrets within the USA.
I did those as well. That and not using personal equipment.
Then at one company, we could use personal equipment. And accepting gifts was suddenly okay. And their training did NOT say I could not buy potential clients sex workers.
I never had the opportunity to clarify with HR…
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25:35-40
Valuation of public stocks is easy. Valuation of privately held stocks and loans is a mess.
Thanks for pointing out Georgism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism
No advantage to using social media tied to your name or identity.
Be a hermit crab. Start new accounts periodically. Be certain they are not tied to your meat space persona.
Or this is incentive to simplify the devices sent to the US with the complex calculations taking place out of country. Fewer imported chips, more monthly subscriptions.
One way to fix it could be to tax investment gains at a higher rate than wages.
To be fair, $1 million, while a shit ton, is not rich. $10 million and up is astronomical. $999 million is obscene when people are starving.
Most Americans, and most humans, will never save $1 million. (The median USA household income in 2024 was apparently $83K. This is enough to earn $1 million over the course of a household’s earning.)
Applying the 4% rule to the above, $1 million invested could safely return $40K per year. $10 million likewise $400K per year.
My point is that there are many actual millionaires in the USA and that there is a large difference between the top and the bottom of “millionaire”.
They all are disqualified for praying in public. Shouldn’t have done that.
Also, presuming to tell God what is what, and vanity.
Looking into it, it seems that perhaps it was not notable until recently. This is likely a limitation of my searches and popular understanding. Does anyone know of ancient Greek writing on the subject? (Perhaps I am too quick to discount the trained memorization of bards and storytellers of old, which I understand typically used memorization and not Total Recall?)
Funes the Memorious was written long after the camera was invented.
The Wikipedia pages on Eidetic Memory and Hyperthymesia cover different aspects, but neither cites anything older than “Funes the Memorious”. “Total Recall” is also used for the ability, but also does not appear to have a long history.
