We can use verification mountain dew cans. No big deal.

Sadly, the Sicilians and Marians definitely did not regain power after Pompey said that to them. They did get purged though.

He’s just retooling to manufacture his fighting Uruk-hai.

So the starlink simulators its deploying right now are empty platters that will burn up in the atmosphere from what I understand. Next missions they’ll be real statlink sats. Are these different than regular sats? It sounds like they’re able to handle more bandwidth but I don’t know.

Maybe during electronic countermeasures? Only way to transmit information is through sound when the EM bandwidth is being disrupted.

Is this a bit? Are you channeling your inner Jeff Albertson? I don’t feel like this is even real. Almost like a response from Gemini itself to give a parody anecdote about itself.

I sort of get it I guess.

Struggle builds character or whatever.

The things I enjoy aren’t because I’m the best at them. I don’t care that software could crush me at reading or playing games. Or a robot can lift more weight than I can or hike a trail faster than me. A robot could surely crush me at laying out on the beach and snorkeling.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Enjoy what you want without thinking about how much worse you are than someone or something else.

Cook because you like it or have to do it for financial reasons. Write because you enjoy it (or have to for financial reasons). You get the point.

Tech is special! Think about the margins, the gains, the $$$!

I bet on greed. It always wins.

I’m not sure. Is Elysium style healthcare an inevitable eventuality? Maybe.

I suppose humanless healthcare is better than nothing for the poors.

But as a HENRY - I want a human with AI and robotic assist, not just some LLM driving a scalpel and claw around.

Are you shadow banned? I can only upvote and comment on this single edited comment from you.

Are edited comments unflagged somehow? Weird.

Is that from the protocols? What would you know about society and empire? You’re just some dork on the internet too much.

I think sir, you need to “touch grass” as the kid’s say.
