yes, you are no longer trusted. Europe is lucky that the UK and France essentially told the US to fuck off when they tried to stop them developing their own nuclear deterrent. If they had, then right now the alliance between Russia and the US would put the whole of europe at risk of Putins Russia. As it is the French and UK capability is more than enough to counter the russian nuclear threat. As in we all fucking die if russia launches nukes, but it at leats lets russia know that too.

fuck trump and republicans. and yes whatever goodwill you had built up over the last 60 years was up and away like a fart in the wind when you elected a corrupt pedophile for the second time. And it cant be built back, ever. No one trusts you no to pull the rug if we became reliant on you again. What we will have though is a relationship with allies built on equality rather than one main player calling the shots.

When google became the king of search the incumbents were so far behind that catching up wasnt possible and they thought their position was entrenched anyway. With LLMs openAI's competitors are at or close to their capability already and everyone knows they need to keep spending to remain relevant. So unless the cash pipeline dries up for competitors that is unlikely to happen. The reason for that is anyone who has invested knows that either they give up and hand everything to their competitors or someone else does. Which means you need to keep spending to outlast your competitors. These companies are too rich and there is too much VC money around and enough billionaires with more money than they and their descendants could spent in many lifetimes, and a huge amount of greed. If the money runs out that is because some very bad shit has occurred and LLMs will be the leats of our worries.

How is the the first time that this has all been available together? I don't see anything unique here and I know the constant CP image stories related to Grok mean serious orgs won't touch this with a bargepole dipped in disinfectant, let alone the fact it's associated with x, which is a cesspit of bots and led by a polarizing figure. Whatever this is, it's not going to make back the 40bn he paid for Twitter

I remember someone positing that something similar had happened to fridges on US army bases

Now you can take longer in the planning stage without the pressure of nature breathing down your neck.

Surely most drugs could be sold in small enough envelopes that you don't need parcel postage. I know when I was using DNMs most packages were a simple large letter stamp stamp which covers 35.3cm x 25cm x 2.5cm and a maximum weight of 750g. So I doubt dark net drug orders would have been the trigger for this sort of change.

It's common in the UK to sell them both with a £ denominated value on them or the class of service. My brother bought loads of the latter a few years ago, which was a great idea, because as mentioned postal rates have increased significantly. The UK post office will also exchange your old unused stamps for new versions (now with QR codes or with sticky backs) for free. So even if they go out of date they alcan be upgraded at no cost.

The US never signed up to the ICC, rules for thee and not for me as usual from our Yankee 'friends'

it isnt known as a physically addicting drug, but pyschologically it can be like anything else.

But I will say a chronic cannabis addiction is less likely to be harmful to society than alcohol addiction that we are seeing today. Invariably there will be a societal cost associated with both and you could probably work out what level, or ratio, of addiction of both substances society will tolerate.

You can get sti tests and other tests as and when required or requested. I have had blood pressure checks, blood diagnostics etc offered regularly by my doctor. Usually they are just to rule things out but they definitely offered.

It's a far right cesspit run by the worlds most egotistical racist asshole, so if you think the experience has improved that says a lot about your character and political affiliation.

What is the point re the health service? We should be enriching people like musk instead of looking after the health of citizens? We spend money on loads of stuff just wondering why you think the NHS needs to be singled out as if it is using resources that could be used to find space exploration/launches.

This is a weird one, some of the posts are obviously a human, some are a mix and some are AI entirely. Maybe I just don't understand the point in posting AI generated content at all in this scenario.
