Re:How to Perfectly Crack an Egg (With One Hand) [video] on Tuesday December 26, 2023 @01:44PM (#38774603)
This looks great and all, but another YouTube video says that when you crack the egg against the lip of the bowl, you create shell fragments....

So - maybe those videos need to battle it out?

What is even better is this attorney - who relied on ChatGPT for research - when called to task to provide the legal opinions....couldn't even get the affidavit right.

"The April 25 affidavit was filed in response to the Orders of April 11 and 12, 2023, but is sworn to before a Notary Public on the 25th of January 2023. Mr. LoDuca should be prepared to address this anomaly on June 8, 2023 and bring with him a wet-ink signed copy of the affidavit with the notary’s signature and stamp."

Yep, that was it
You added a point not exactly accurate. The problem also are people who bend the rules and immigrate to this country not in line with our laws - like Trump's wife - because they are privileged.

Illegal immigration of all kinds is the issue - including immigration under false pretenses.

Our "hidden" game was one called Conflict where you were Israel.

I managed to load it on the shared hardrive (20 Meg, I think).

I'll bite. You have an underlying assumption that millions of foreign nationals are cared for who have paid nothing.

Evidence?

Oh, man. I know what I am listening to tonight!

Just wish Haiku could distributed the old music that came from Be, included such great tubes as "BeOS - it's my OS" and "Virtual(void)" which lamented rebooting multiple times.
Wait. I was there. That was you?

I forget how much Carter Page was a political rival of Barack Obama somehow.

Thanks for the reminder.

Wonder if really dead or "crashed"?

I remember when I ran coinchoose.com I spent most my day fighting off attacks.

Maybe.

All conjecture. Had I finished my Java port (BeKaffe), the world would run on BeOs :).

Actually, you didn't get it because Jean-Louis asked too much when Apple inquired.

I first read this as banning Twitter from all government devices and thought it was an early Christmas present for America.

Yep.

Sad, though. So much wasted money just to make us mad.

Can we loop in automated political calls as robocalls?
Re:Bill to crack down on robocalls passes Senate on Thursday December 19, 2019 @03:49PM (#21839103)
Are political automated calls "robocalls" or are they (strangely) exempt.
