This came following her call on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

For people who didn’t watch the video, she says, “Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment,” and the guy jumps up and rushes the stage.

It sounded sort of like he was saying that Rep. Ilhan Omar should resign or something. But what a weird trigger. You got to wonder what kind of a loser would jump up to defend Noem.

Or maybe he wasn’t defending Noem, and was just waiting for Rep. Ilhan Omar to say something that he could shout back at her. The most childish and mindless of retorts.

I can’t see how this guy could possibly be anything but a total loser. He turns violent presumably in response to propaganda.

That woman telling her to go get checked immediately was right. It’s unlikely, but people have been killed like this before.

“Is now a good time?”

“I was just watching an ad and thinking how much I wished the ad and I could have a conversation. Because I just don’t spend enough time with advertisements. If only they were interactively read off of a script that responded awkwardly to any of my responses. My brain isn’t quite completely rotted yet, and I almost had a little bit of free time. Also, I was thinking how my cell phone’s battery was far too high, and hoping I could whittle it down somehow. So, yes, now is the perfect time for you to be an interactive ad!”

True, that is actually brandishing, but I don’t think anybody really thought that helping a woman off of the ground while never touching or showing off your gun is brandishing.

For conservatives, words don’t have meanings anymore. If a word sounds like it might have a negative connotation, then it is a word that they use to describe any opposition. They don’t need to bother waiting to see what actually happened. The important thing for conservatives is to say the bad-sounding word first. Nobody has ever held them to account for lying.

It’s a bit of a change of mindset to begin thinking that you can’t trust a PR even a little.

It has never occurred to me that other people trust PRs, even a little. I mean, that they might think about it in those terms.

This explains a lot to me.

Why does it take me longer to review code than other people? They trust the person who wrote it, but I don’t.

Why is it that when my coworkers think a person is untrustworthy, that they always end up begging me to do all of that person’s reviews. It’s because I’m not bothered by that. I already treat everybody as untrustworthy.

I’ve never understood how other people think when they do reviews, I guess.

Miller is doing this stuff as part of his official governmental duties, so this is technically not domestic terrorism. It’s state terrorism.

Forgetting AI for a moment, I am always shocked when I am reviewing a coworker’s code and it’s obvious that they themselves didn’t review it.

Like, they sent me a PR that has a whole shitload of other crap in it. Why should I look at it when you haven’t looked at it? If you don’t review your own review requests, you’re a failure of a programmer human.

And I would be a failure if I approved such a request.

Getting back to the post, where is all of the review? The coworker should have reviewed the AI shit, whether it was code or documentation. The person who approved the PR should have reviewed it, as well.

Every business with more than one programmer should have at least two levels of safeguards against this exact thing happening. More if you include different types of test suites.

This post describes a fundamentally broken business, regardless of the AI angle, and so it’s good if everything is broken. With such a lack of discipline and principles, I say let the business fail.

Legal scholars have said the strikes, launched against civilians in boats far from the US, are violations of domestic and international law. The Trump administration maintains they are legal, under a secret opinion written by the justice department that argues the US is in an armed conflict with cartels and that the laws of war apply to the strikes.

Let’s see about this “war.”

War is an armed conflict between the armed forces of states, or between governmental forces and armed groups that are organized under a certain command structure and have the capacity to sustain military operations, or between such organized groups.

Obviously, Wikipedia isn’t the absolute authority on defining what “war” means, but it does a great job at checking your common sense. Like, a war isn’t always between established states, but it’s also distinct from enforcing laws in places where they don’t enforce their own laws or where their own laws don’t suit you.

Even if you assume that everything the Trump administration has said about these people is true, these boats were not carrying out anything like a military operation. Drug running isn’t a military operation. They’re not supplying front lines with drugs for battle.

These people were accused civil offenses, not military operations, and we in the US do not give the death penalty for running drugs.

And of course, the Trump administration lies as naturally as it breathes, so I have no reason to think the men from this article were running drugs in the first place. This is all just showing that even the lies Trump has told are not sufficient to justify the military actions he’s ordered.

It’s just a regional dialect thing. Where I grew up, we called it “coke,” even if it was a Dr. Pepper. That’s the only one that is truly irredeemably wrong.

I had to train myself to call them something else. (I chose “sodas” because that was the only alternative I knew.)

The word “robot” can be defined in many different ways, and that affects whether this has already happened, or how soon it may happen in the future.

If robot means remote controlled machine, think Battle Bots, or if it means something with a robotic arm, then it’s probably already happened.

If robot means human shaped machine, then I’d guess if it hasn’t happened yet, if only because of the expense.

If robot means sensors, processing, and actuators, like I learned in school, then I’m guessing it hasn’t happened yet, simply because it’s more work than a machine that follows a routine, but I could easily be wrong.

If robot means fully functional human sized android type robot with integrated processing then who knows? If it also requires AI, then I’m guessing it’s a ways off.

I don’t know what monster first thought it was a good idea to mix pickle relish into tuna salad.

I remember my father insisting on buying American brands for decades because he believed they were higher quality, only for him to get lemon after lemon after lemon.

I managed to crash the only decent American car we had, which was a Buick. Otherwise it was multiple Fords, Chevrolet, Cadillac, all constantly needing to be in the shop.

When my sister and I got our first cars, we didn’t have any good impressions of American car companies and both bought used Japanese because they were a lot cheaper. And then, had zero problems.

The next car my dad bought was a Subaru.

I think that would have the opposite effect on me. I’d be sealed shut for good.

If the horse doesn’t want to take off the headpiece, that usually means that it’s not finished eating the food that the owner put into the headpiece in order to get the horse to stick its head in there.

Based on the fantasy writing I know of, if there previously weren’t any dragons, and suddenly there is a dragon, then there is also the possibility that suddenly, you’ll be able to use magic.

This is insulting to illiterate people.

I’m not sure what “left wing architecture” means. Because, to me, this looks like the sort of thing you have to do when the population grows like crazy. Those tend to be areas where women have little education and little power.

It’s past his jail time.
