The tragedy of 9/11 was cited as a failure of the intelligence community as a whole, primary the TLAs, to work together. They know they are responsible, and they know they have to justify their budget in those same terms. The CIA, for

I wasn't impressed. I do use them to vacuum and make frozen pizzas though.

It's a reasonable belief and fear that person will carry out the act. You are probably misinterpreting the reasonable part, especially when people mask their reaction to try to get away or out of shock / instinct. The person makin

Governments always have their own assault rifles and, usually, access to nukes or nuclear defense by proxy. By extension, they will have their own AI and we can only try to achieve some kind of parity with our own access to AI as citizens.

It's like the Matrix. The Machines won. The kids would rather be dead than singled out, and the adults have convinced themselves iPhone is the end all, be all even in this comments section. Meanwhile, I'm an exiled American eating

Everyone is self-censoring these days, and you really need to operate within a limited persona if you have an online presence. If you aren't political, you don't really need to share controversial opinions online. That's just

So, forests won't be worked on to prove a point or what? The idea is decades old from at least when railroad companies were dealing with Canadian forests, so it seems like apathy or complacency won and still rules the day. It must have

EMDR therapy may help with something like that.

You can do the soleus pushup all day while sitting. Supposedly, it can fix your metabolism. Also, Supernatural or boxing like in Thrill of the Fight on a cheaper standalone VR headset may work for you. It's a surprisingly intense worko

Your simplistic theory for silencing certain scientists falls apart when you need to examine Africa or other countries that had the virus but not the excess death you would expect. Also, there is new excess death data that is not explained

Hillary Clinton did not take the loss well despite the appearance, and she still uses the word stolen. Stacey Abrams seems to have a similar story. Trump sounds like a broken record and a sore loser, but the main reason I don't take hi

It's the US government so it's safer to assume that only a $25 transaction went through. I am surprised the person didn't rethink things after the experiment went badly with $10K in limbo. It sounds like they should just mess

I wasn't directly challenging your answer but the picture it painted. However, if scientists had to formally ask if SARS as a disease was eradicated or eliminated from the world, the answer would be no. I think the underlying question

This line is expected to become endemic. China may have to stomach the current variants. It's not that relevant, but the coronavirus family is always going to reappear as it stands. I hope they recognize when it's no longer the sa

In Golang, I've seen time.Sleep(2 * time.Second). That's pretty explicit, so, it seems someone carried the whole concept forward.

With the abysmal reputation of DMVs, even if that were the primary business of government, people would still have a case for reforming government from the ground up.

White is a skin tone, but it also seems to be a catch-all for anyone that can be assigned historical guilt for benefitting in some way from imperialism. From there, the possibilities are endless. So, the present-day Russia has transgressed

I wasn't trying to explain the actual political situation. I don't know what "deal" they took exactly. It's just really easy for any side, including the actual Russian individual taking orders, to delude themselves

It would have to be very subtle trolling since mentioning a certain pipe in Canada would definitely have rustled some jimmies.

By that logic, Russia would be the one receiving nominal Western support since it carries out ethnic cleansings (with relative impunity) against Georgians and possibly now Ukrainians, who must be "less white" than Russians on most

In my estimation, most of the activity done with people's inventory on Steam, especially skins in major games, involve one illicit scheme or another. I guess you can't or shouldn't stop people from using their skins on gambli

Russian troops could simply be operating under the premise that none of their actions would be necessary if the West hadn't meddled and created the Ukrainian crisis in the first place. It's that simple.

I knew exactly what "jargon" the IT worker was going to use, and I've never worked in an office like that. Of course, I assumed he was being pedantic at first. If a lawyer only needs to find a government office worker that ha

I never looked into it, but some scientists supposedly lent credence to the existence of lucid dreaming. That's a similar concept where you assume that, with training, some people have tapped into a wellspring of vivid imagination. Or,

Even when LED flashlights were first popularized (more than a decade ago), it was believable that batteries always seemed to be on their last legs, especially in the wilderness. It's probably not supposed to be a thing on Terminus unle

I am wondering if SyFy's The Expanse succeeded completely in their adaptation of novels that were written in contemporary times. Apple's Foundation is awkward at times and its writers seem to believe that they needed to correc

A rescue dog is still often becoming a family pet, and you have to consider if it makes all that much sense, especially on a massive scale. Rescuing dogs is only a stopgap measure. Everyone is still cursed with guilt for letting the system

I agree with you. The media mostly ran out of attacks for Sweden, but I guess people can always try out new ones. I was under the impression that they had to stop vilifying Sweden because it ranked 40th in COVID mortality rates (where being

QAnon exists for the same reason Alex Jones exists. Sensation sells. You can still be an (entirely rational) "prepper" if you want to be. Yet, it's routinely associated with right-wing extremism and delegitimized as a movemen
