1. We are guilty by association. 2. When a guy makes a choice to join up with a terrorist organization he will bring that guilt home with him. It will affect those around him.

We may be free to choose but we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions. Even when they affect the innocent we associate with. If this is a new thought to you read a few more books.

Here are some suggestions... The Holy Bible Hillbilly Elegy The Narnia Series The Hobbit The Lord of the Rings

"In the second instance, allowing science to enclose swathes of policy debate gives scientists (and other expertly people) a great deal of political and moral power over our lives. To reiterate, “enclosing” does not imply that a specific group of scientific individuals are put in charge of policy. SAGE is – and was – principally an advisory body. Rather, it means that working within a particular scientific cosmology is the price of entry to serious policy discussion.

However, in practice, this means that scientists and credentialed people de facto enjoy greater influence over the shape of policy than laymen, thus giving the former a hierarchical power over the latter that threatens the strictures of robustness. Laymen will never find it as easy as credentialed scientists to position themselves within a scientific cosmology and so will never be taken as seriously in enclosed policy debates. "

Animals do not have a soul.

Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”"

It is a great article describing Anthropomorphism though.

My Grandpa used to say if a child didn't eat a pound of dirt a year it just wasn't healthy. This was usually in response to my Aunt's frenetic diatribe about a cousin getting dirty while on the farm.

He was right. We got dirty on the farm. We ate dirt in the form of working and playing in the dust and mud. We would get "cleaned up" on the hot summer days by swimming in the river. Not only did we survive, we thrived. It was some of the greatest years of my life, eating a pound of dirt a year...

Re:Microsoft shifts to a new threat actor naming taxonomy on Thursday January 25, 2024 @11:42AM (#39131492)
I was wondering why the new name for Cozy Bear was Midnight Blizzard. Here is the "new" Microsoft sanctioned naming convention.

And this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/int...

"On December 12, 2023, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (the “Company,” “HPE,” or “we”) was notified that a suspected nation-state actor, believed to be the threat actor Midnight Blizzard, the state-sponsored actor also known as Cozy Bear, had gained unauthorized access to HPE’s cloud-based email environment."

"Stellantis has been asking the Italian government for the last nine months to support EV sales" -CEO Carlos Tavares

"The plant has introduced temporary lay-offs because of sluggish demand."

So they cannot produce a competitive product without government incentives.

Is it because people are beginning to understand the true opportunity cost of a BEV?

- Long charge times.

- Poor performance in colder climates.

- High repair cost.

- High insurance cost.

- Poor infrastructure.

- End of Life environmental concerns.

Solutions to these concerns is what should be subsidized.
