You know what, now that your mention it, wasn’t the explanation that the signal was reflected back to the surface due to the ionising radiation of something, so the beam was kinda split or doubled. So my premise was wrong.

A distinction between a teleporter and a transporter…

To teleport implies the original matter is instantly moved from one place to another so there would be no destruction and reconstituted copy. A wormhole would seem to be the only realistic way that could be achieved.

A transporter, well that means copy then kill. No one knows if the kill part is painful because noone survives it. I find it funny Riker’s copy is actually the “original” and his lack of death is considered a transporter accident. Yet he is the one treated like the copy…

And all that said, barclay’s experience in the transporter beam is more suggestive of a wormhole style device.

I don’t know why I bothered to write all this out…

You are assuming a 5 day work week apparently…

When the great AI bubble bursts, there is chance that the chip manufacturers are not only going to suddenly have a drop in demand, but also their surplus stock will be competing with a nearly new second hand market that may be flooded with stock from collapsed companies unless those companies are fully bought out by their competitors without any attempt at loss recovery.

At least that is my unrealistic hope and I’m sticking to it.

Omarchy will henceforth be known as Oligarchy Linux.

No they say "Your choice to move away from your family or their choice to move away from you shouldn’t adversely affect all of the other children in your child’s class because the teacher has limited time and is now spending it catching up your child who missed foundational concepts for the stuff that is being taught when they get back.

You are not entitled to cheap travel. I never got to travel all over the world as a child because, spoiler, we couldn’t afford it, but people also didn’t feel so entitled to cheap travel that they were taking their kids out of school for cheaper flights. You just didn’t fly.

That’s nuts!!

As others have said, the response is to ask where in the bible it states you should not have sex with roadkill.

When they point to a passage about something they think is related (but obviously cannot be explicitly about roadkill) ask them if they think that having sex with roadkill is morally equivalent to the passage they cited. I would be surprised if they say yes…

If they do say yes, ask if the only reason they do not do these things is because the Bible told them so. If they say no, ask them what the extra moral information they are drawing from is.

Also ask them why atheists are not caught doing this (at a rate higher than religious groups).

Reflecting…

I like to think this isn’t the product of someone being weird, but someone being funny, knowing that centuries later we’d be looking at it going wtf. Master trolling…

Seriously, it took you 2 weeks to come up with that burn? I mean it really made me reflect on my life, just like your first punishing reply so you can feel good that you’ve changed the world for the better…but I’ll be going on with my life and forgetting you exist now.

Means a lot coming from you.

Maybe not, but that is democracy. We all choose one person to trust to make decisions for us.

Also unfairness and theft are not the same thing.

To be clear. I don’t support the existence of billionaires, but I might be more forgiving if the contributed to society in big ways. Instead their only interest seems to be getting richer.

What I mean is that if I ever amassed 1 billion, I would spend everything over the billion on social projects, dog shelters, medical research that is considered by for profits to be unprofitable. I would never have more than 1 billion as I would use the interest to fund things that would help as many people and animals as possible. If billionaires voluntarily did such things I would mind them less. Instead I support 100% tax on anything over 1 billion. As for the burning question do any of these billionaires contribute as much as they are rewarded? Hell no

But you can be damn sure Company income increased…

Thing is, you wouldn’t mind if he used his vast wealth for the betterment of humanity. You know, like how he used to market himself before the pedoguy event.

Instead he uses it to promote right wing politics, marginalised vulnerable groups and trying to get richer for the betterment of Elon.

I like to think that if I was ever lucky enough to have a billion, anything over it would be used to support causes I believe in… Oh wait that’s what he’s doing, it’s just his beliefs are messed up.

I don’t think they think there will be a next administration, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want to spy on their own disloyal staffers…
