Previous press secretary would just call it misinformation and cut the person who asked it's mic and not invite them back

This reminds me when leftists tried to smear Putin on knowing nothing about Ukraine and Russia's relationship only to Putin drop a completely impromptu and incredibly autistic detailed history lesson
 
source for this please

Ive had people tell me for a while now our f35 program is compromised on a cybersecurity level, something about its fly by wire
I didn’t hear anything about it being compromised, but the avionics are pretty intense and you like, can’t fly one by stick.

A stable airframe is antithetical to maneuverability, because it will resist maneuvering.
 
For those dumb enough to discuss politics in person, do you notice how much misinformation people tend to spread, typically without even realizing? I was shooting the shit with someone when the no overtime tax topic came up, and they said "yeah too bad it doesnt matter for us, its only for people that work over 80 hours"
I thought that sounded wrong but kept quiet, looked it up later and I cannot find a single thing mentioning anything like that. Is it true? Am I wrong?
The same thing happens with a leftist I know. Constant misinformation that I can't even find a single article on making the claim. Where do people read this stuff?
Trump being a priori evil is the definition of leftism. They don't care enough to look it up because it fits within the guideline of Trump being evil. literally look things up on your phone and show them. If you mention Trump in a positive light they'll think you're at best retarded. If you continue to argue in good faith they'll eventually get upset and walk away. You are now a priori evil. The only way to heal this is to kill them with kindness. I've converted a few leftists.
 
Hey, dipshit, you can't buy cigarettes on EBT. If you're going to endlessly bitch and moan about something, at least know what it does before shitting up the thread.
You can sell your Stamps for 50% of their value in cash, or get real friendly with a small shop owner, pay for $20 of chips, and walk out with smokes.

If you want to double your food budget, all you have to do is visit the hood, and have a chat with a mom of 4 on welfare.
 
I'm not an AI engineer but my monkey intuition and layman's understanding of quantum mechanics tells me that human consciousness is a special divine gift from God and there is no such thing as a disembodied intelligence in the material world. So whoever said there will be no true AGI unless they figure out how to stuff a demon into a computer, I largely agree. LLMs are neat but a disembodied intelligence they are not.

I don’t know about quantum whatever, but a transistor has two states; on and off

A neuron can have thousands of ganglia so they don’t have to be sequential like transistors, and there are hundreds of neurotransmitters we’ve identified to date. Some of them are gases that only exist for fractions of seconds. Multiply those to figure a rough estimate of how many states a neuron can be in. Hint: it’s more than two

Interesting thing about how federal employees are paid is that it's adjusted for the area they're working in. Washington DC is the highest paid region in the federal workforce. So I would imagine that there are a number of federal employees that receive DC wages and live in a cheaper area, maybe in a completely different state because they get to work from home with their definitely not a spy Chinese wife.

Sucks to be them.
 
My wife’s Hopi.
Have they ever let you into a kiva? I had a chance encounter with an old white guy who was one of the only white guys they ever liked and respected enough to observe their religious ceremony. He was an old USACE dude.

The Hopi are unbelievably based and kachinapilled.
