i really think weather people get paid by the word: 

"A chance of rain showers between 1pm and 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 2pm and 5pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5."

If a piece of the ISS crashes into your house, who is responsible?

What if it kills someone? 

"whoohoo its my birthday, i am x years old" Or "whoohoo its my birthday i have been alive x years"

Well, technically you are a few months older.. That is just your 'appearance' date..    While I do think its a valid debate if its 'at conception' or not, but i dont think its debatable that at some point a fetus is alive. ( just when, not if.. )

And the news event that prompted this: NASA has determined that is where the part came from..   So ho pays the bill for this guy's roof?

Tiktok ban.

So as we all know even if they do come out tomorow and 'ban' the app, there are a lot of ways around it.  

• If its removed from app stores, android people can side load easily from a non US 3rd party store and buy a VPN. Not so easy for iOS to side load. 
• VPN gets around the coming mandated national IP blockages for desktops iOS users and such too. ( will have to be IP, as they will mandate US DNS blocks too. )

What if this is a setup? The end goal is  they want ammunition to go after VPNs and the ability to side load "unapproved" apps, and mandate more monitoring of 'systems' and 'traffic'  and this is just the 'excuse' to get there.

Plus they can go down the route of "if you have any of these circumvention methods setup, you are presumed guilty"

Anyone remember "clipper"?

On paper, its another 'rule' that can be abused.   its in the 'planning' stages, stored away for when needed.

And of course, it will be at some point.

The tiktok ban bill doesn't even do anything about tiktok. It just gives money to Ukraine and Israel.

Lol, there is my answer  > https://torrentfreak.com/u-s-know-your-customer-proposal-will-put-an-end-to-anonymous-cloud-users-240425/

"Late January, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice of proposed rulemaking for establishing new requirements for Infrastructure as a Service providers (IaaS) . The proposal boils down to a 'Know Your Customer' regime for companies operating cloud services, with the goal of countering the activities of "foreign malicious actors." Yet, despite an overseas focus, Americans won't be able to avoid the proposal's requirements, which covers CDNs, virtual private servers, proxies, and domain name resolution services, among others."

First ID everyone that does anything and what they do. Then arrest them for circumvention. 

Is it still considered low/no code if a bot writes it for you?

And what comes from many human ones are not? :)

If a bot writes it for you it's called buggy code.

Do not baby your air conditioning system.

If a product cannot survive being used for its intended purpose, it does not deserve to survive.

I tend to a bit. But its due to the electric bill, not the hardware.

I wonder why gay nazism isn't a thing. I mean, if marxist socialism can turn gay, so can nazism.

Can somebody please design a new 'Thin Blue Line' flag that isn't a bastardization of the American flag?

Perhaps they are right, global warming is our biggest threat.   ( beyond economic/societal collapse that is )
