He's done a great job with other people's ideas. Not one Musk company was Musk's idea. And the only Musk company they he actually manages if Twitter. And that's one of the biggest dumpster fires in American history. I'm not holding my breath.

Wait... What? Something's off about this chick. 🤔

Egg Benedict and ham on an English muffin?

The first nostriche... 🤔

Hmm... This works totally fine, but I bet I could make it more efficient!

I think a Cashu token is more like a one-off federal reserve note. It's a bearer instrument backed by a mint instead of the Federal Reserve. A letter of credit would be more like a certified letter attesting to one's wallet balance, thus providing proof of ability to pay.

I think Elon Musk's annual travel accounts for about the same 6% of global emissions. We could just get rid of him and keep the cows. I mean, if someone told me we had a choice between Musk, and steaks, hamburger, tallow, and cowhide, I think that's a pretty easy choice.

This is amazing news if it pans out. Upgrading the blockchain with quantum resistant encryption is desperately needed, and we're better off doing it as soon as possible so it's nothing everyone is scrambling to do when quantum computing is on our doorstep.

On Samsung display dimensions are in Settings >Display>Screen Resolution

That's what mine looks like, too. The View More appears when you scroll all the way to the bottom. I think the people not seeing it are having an issue with the screen dimensions.

This is so dumb that I can see it coming about based on sheer idiocy, and an inability to look beyond the simple booking of a bus ad.

I mean, it's the most obvious meme in the world. What I want to know is who TF made the decision to put a Rosa Park ad banner on the back of a fucking bus? I feel like someone should be fired for this.

This is so true.

There's no chance of securing the necessary support. Even if a miracle happened and 2/3 of both the House and Senate supported it, there's no way in hell 3/4 of the state legislatures would support it. Perhaps you're not fully aware of the cross-party animosity that exists in the United States. And an online security amendment would be highly contested, with push back from every privacy group, and every civil rights group in the country. It's just reasonable to be believe 3/4 of the states would go along with this. It's absurd proposition, really. Amendments aren't some easy thing that can happen with a smile and an "elevator speech". And for good reason. An amendment about a topic as controversial as online safety is not something that has a reasonable chance of passing Congress, let alone 3/4 of the states. You'd have a better chance of winning Powerball (odds 273,000,000:1) than getting an amendment passed.

No way. The 18th Amendment was passed in 1917, at a time when prohibition was a politically popular subject, and there was substantially greater cooperation and amicably between the parties. Today's political landscape looks nothing like what existed in 1917.

To be clear, an amendment needs 2/3 of both the House and the Senate to pass, and the support of 3/4 of the state legislatures to be ratified. There is virtually no possibility in the present political landscape that any issue proposed would secure the necessary support to succeed.

The requirements for successfully passing an amendment make the prospect extraordinarily implausible.

I don't even know what we're talking about at this point. I'm just going to consider this discussion closed.

Scientists, and people in scientific fields make up way more than 1% of the population. And regardless of how many people understand how science works, the way it works is fixed and the basis of the process by which it is carried out. What uneducated people believe is irrelevant.

If Trump is the best we can strive for, we are done as a species. We might as well all gather together in wide open spaces and nuke ourselves.

He's a puppet for Elon Musk.
