As a coder, the majority of my job isn’t writing code. It’s translating the bullshit management says and the broken specs we’re given into what they both actually want, not what they said. There is never going to be an AI that fixes that

Like anyone can afford to talk to a doctor any more.

Pretty sure that should be an evangelical child molester instead.

If they were violent they’d have already been arrested and deported.

Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.

I mean look, those Russians were done using them anyway, and why let a perfectly good kidney go to waste?

Eh, kind of intentional. If you’re gonna fuck around, you’re gonna find out.

Thor dropping a mountain on my head.

They’re going to China to discuss sales numbers.

Unemployment and inflation are just the goals. The Fed uses an entire list of leading, trailing, and coincident indicators and surveys fed through multiple teams of economists to determine the state of the economy.

The news slices it all down to Unemployment rate and inflation because it takes a half hour to begin to explain all the indexes, and each Fed board members take on each one. And people have other shit to talk about on the news.

Try prepared foods, clothing, phones, electronics and tools. Basically everything at clothing stores, Walmart or Harbor Freight, and half of Amazon, Target, and home goods stores.

From what I’m seeing out of Germany, NATO isn’t going anywhere. The US might not be a continuing part of it.

Also there’s still an off chance China might play a part in Ukraine. They have Putin by the short and curlies, and could offer a better deal than the US for mineral rights. It might hinge on if Trump pisses off Xi with this trade war crap, or gets in the way of him taking Taiwan.

The choice was, be a friend, or be pig food. Kevin chose wisely.

They all have previous sources of income from successful investing, careers, or family wealth. The point is that it’s nowhere in the realm of the lies that were posted.

How about all of human history. It’s never worked out well for the larger hegemony to reduce itself to the benefit of adversaries.

The actual number is irrelevant, the change in number does Khamenei doesn’t know how many nukes Israel or the US actual have. He’ll make decisions based on what he does know. And a draw down tells him he can get away with more attacks.

Russia hadn’t started invading it’s neighbors to steal resources.

If we draw down, between the number of nukes we have now, and 0, there will be a global war. The actual number of nukes won’t matter, humanity will be at risk of extinction.

The only ones at fault for where we are now are the GoP and Trump. They’ve destabilized the Middle East by supporting Israels settlements, taken every dime from Putin to do his bidding for decades, tore up Pacific treaties to stop Xi, while doing every thing they can to get Iran to give them a pretense to invade.

Leon’s ass is where those numbers came from. Most recent real data is a bit old, but it hasn’t really changed that much.
