Hi Peter! You did my E3 visa a while back. When I was standing in line at the US consulate in Sydney, the person in front of me was really nervous, visibly shaking. I saw that their papers had your letterhead, so I was able to calm them down a bit by showing them my papers, which also had your letterhead.

Thanks for all your hard work!

That's not true at all and not what anthropocene climate change implies.

The USS Liberty incident is so often used as a boogeyman to make Israel seem overtly malicious to the USA. Often forgotten is that the day before the incident, the Israeli air force accidentally bombed one of their own infantry columns.

Reality TV has been softcore pornography for about a decade now, advertisers have no issue with it

I'm sure meta knows how to make a social product successful, the "everything for everyone" approach has earned them billions of dollars in revenue over twenty years now.

In the past two weeks in San Francisco, I have seen:

- Cruise car stopped dead in the middle of Oak street at Divisadero, at night, with no emergency lights on.

- Waymo car driven onto the sidewalk to pick up a passenger on Scott street at Haight street

- Waymo car stopped, blocking the whole road on Carmelita street because it started a 3 point turn and then decided it didn't have enough room to continue

- Cruise car swerving out in front of traffic from the kerb on Divisadero at Ellis street without signaling

The point is that with a constant amount of assaults, and fewer potential victims, you are more likely to be a victim.

And the 19 year old who didn't want to go on the submarine but wanted to spend time with his dad? Was he reckless? Was he worth searching for?

What's your definition of reckless? Were the boys stuck in the cave in Thailand reckless? Should we not have rescued them? Where is the line of who is deserving of our sympathy?

This past weekend in SF, I saw a driver slow and stop to reverse parallel park on Bush Street at Fillmore. An automated Cruise car stopped right behind him, blocking the driver from reversing into the parking spot. The guy got out to yell at the driver to back up, but then saw that it was driverless.

He drove off, and someone else got the spot.
