That was hard to read. Those monkeys suffered greatly. I understand the need for animal trials in a device such as this though. My question is do they really think they will be able to support humans for their entire lifetime properly who get this implant? I can imagine humans being told the company went under or something when it’s time to maintain their implant.

Honestly, most web articles are only worth reading in reader mode. It seems like that is the only setting that respects your phone’s brightness settings (dark or light) and font size.

Why did it take 10 years for them to compensate him?

Yep, that’s how it usually works. If you do it and are a public official, it’s best to come clean.

Oblivion Remaster sounds awesome.

“Everywhere that I go people are having a hard time buying groceries, affording gas, getting to work, paying for their child care, affording the homes that they live in— or the homes that they would like to live in. We have got to get the spending under control in Washington, D.C.”

What does any of that have to do with tightening spending in Washington DC? How will tightening spending help any of that?

Good.

I think you mean “defunding” and I agree. Plenty of black and female artists made excellent work in that space and it sounds like her book may be one of the dying cries of her bigoted generation’s values.

In a society with functioning checks and balances, no they shouldn’t be able to. In real life, they drive 90mph past my home on a road posted as 40mph.

Interestingly, the same people who pushed the whole dog breed thing were pushing the white supremacy thing last century. Now, they are just idiots pushing an easy issue when all they need to do is look at actual studies.

For me, it’s not so much the praise from Putin, but Musks own admission that he intentionally hampered the war effort.

Man, congress really looks dumb right now.

Only thing about that though, is that they were all representing our country and had the right to influence policy since we elected them or they were appointed after an election. Elon has no such right. He hasn’t been elected or appointed for anything.

He immigrated here. His route went from SA, to Canada, to USA. As an immigrant citizen, I would expect more loyalty.

Can we define Musk as a traitor now? He is actively interfering in a conflict in an active combat zone the USA has already picked sides in and sided with the enemy.

Every server on the internet for every site you visit does this.

Agreed. This is a good solution for the wasteful energy usage of the miners. I don’t see how they arrived at paying them not to use the grid. Does literally any private citizen get paid not to use large amounts of electricity?

Also, $31 million could go towards better infrastructure that could allow this in the future.

Honestly, why allow them to mine on the grid at all until it is upgraded? It’s just a big wasteful use of energy that uses public resources but doesn’t benefit the public at all. It just prints money for the guys doing it.

This is such an obvious 1st amendment rights issue. Anyone can wear anything that is allowed on the property and you can’t even ban minors because drag doesn’t mean revealing clothing. It’s open and shut.
