wow , a level headed take. thanks for taking the time to write this up, it’s super appreciated even for the audience (like me)
It warms my heart that my post triggered this kind of reaction from you.
Who is burning it to the ground? Did you not read articles about removing food dyes earlier this year? That sounds like an improvement.

Meanwhile, this article is fear-based. “FDA may add..” means they didn’t.

FDA has been horrible for decades. Trump didn’t make it bad
he said - raise it by one degree, not evaporate
Ooh conspiracy theorizing, love it!
that’s the thing, you can have the LLM study and make a skill to only code in the maintainers preferred style or readability.
oh no, lost jobs and and dying economy!
Often i think of a novel idea or solution to a problem, but use AI to communicate or adjust what I already wrote out so it’s more comprehensible. Sometimes when I write, it’s hard to understand.
Re:Comic-Con Bans AI Art After Artist Pushback on Wednesday January 21, 2026 @11:07AM (#46707604)
“The whole structure of the artist booth is about connecting with the person that made the art.”

I can vouch for myself and others - that we are there to just buy cool shit and not ‘connect’ with the artist.

“Why would you want to see a booth showing artworks that weren't even created by the person in front of you but by an AI?”

Um, because they are cool?

Why is Bezos preferable to Elon?

But the market has voted with their wallet.

iPhones are extremely popular and desired, and people voted for it, in its current state.

If people didn’t like what Apple was doing, they can just buy Android. Awfully simple

Raw milk is often touted for its health benefits, including higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that can be destroyed during pasteurization.

Raw milk supports better digestion due to the presence of natural enzymes like lactase, which can help lactose-intolerant individuals.

It also contains beneficial bacteria that can enhance gut health and boost the immune system.

Homogenization, a process where milk is forced through small openings under high pressure to break down fat molecules and create a uniform consistency, is another step in milk processing.

This process alters the structure of fat molecules, which some believe impacts the nutritional quality and digestibility of milk.

Raw milk avoids both pasteurization and homogenization, retaining its natural separation of cream and milk, and preserving its original nutritional profile. Pasteurization and homogenization reduces some nutritional content and alter the milk's natural state.

It’s the difference between cold pressed juices and the fake orange juice that has been heated millions of times and the manufacture re-adds vitamin C because the processs killed off its natural vitamin C

Back then, all they knew was hunting. Probably became masters at each species and teach the young how to master it.

Now we don’t do that and teach are young about math and science. We don’t need hunting because we can just shoot them in the face. Or drop on nuke on their species.

0pen Ai will pay for this
Lol? They don’t care, they want them to close so they sell real estate.

Re:Debris field found in search for missing submersible on Thursday June 22, 2023 @05:00PM (#36438926)
From the viewpoint of the occupants in a van-sized submersible experiencing catastrophic pressure loss, here is a rough timeline of the events that would likely unfold:

Initial Pressure Shock: The pressure loss would occur nearly instantaneously due to the immense external pressure. The walls of the submersible would buckle and crumple inward with violent force, likely killing or severely injuring the occupants instantly due to the sudden shock and the violent inward rush of water.

Water Invasion: Almost immediately following the pressure loss, water would rush into the submersible, flooding the compartment. Depending on the breach's size and location, this could occur within milliseconds to a few seconds. The sheer force and speed of the water would be extremely destructive.

Temperature Drop: The average temperature at such depths is just above freezing (about 2 to 4 degrees Celsius or 36 to 39 degrees Fahrenheit). If the occupants somehow survived the initial shock, they would now be exposed to near-freezing water temperatures, quickly leading to hypothermia.

Implosion: Depending on the submersible's construction, different sections might withstand the pressure momentarily longer than others, leading to an implosion where the submersible's parts collapse inward onto themselves. This would be incredibly violent and destructive.

Disorientation and Darkness: If the occupants were still conscious at this point, they would likely be disoriented due to the rapid changes in their environment. At this depth, there would be no natural light, adding to the disorientation.

Ascent and Decompression: As the submersible loses its structural integrity, it might begin to rise toward the surface as the heavier components sink and lighter components or any trapped air try to rise. However, any surviving occupants would then be subject to decompression sickness (also known as the bends) as dissolved gases come out of solution in the body, forming bubbles. This condition can cause joint pain, respiratory distress, neurological effects, and can be fatal.

In conclusion, a catastrophic pressure loss at 12,000 feet below sea level would be an incredibly dangerous and likely fatal event. The immense pressures at such depths require highly engineered solutions to keep occupants safe.

Thanks appreciate this a lot!
I find it intriguing the first page of this site, and they all come from NAVAIR. What’s the link between Pais’s patents and the DOD ufo videos?

https://www.navair.navy.mil/foia/documents

What I don’t understand is why it’s out of reach of us. If ‘they’ can do it, why can’t we? We made a nuclear bomb ourselves.
I really appreciate your reply. Thank you
Gotcha, must be aliens then.
Right from the USPTO Website:

In Examiner's Advisory Action Before the Filing of an Appeal Brief, dated July 1, 2018, Examiner "held" that after considering the Sheehy declaration filed with Second Amendment "the claims are still not enabled." Examiner, however, agrees that high frequencies of vibration on the order of 10 Gigahertz are possible, by stating *obtaining high frequencies are possible."

Hefurther asks that the Applicant demonstrate these high vibrational frequencies to create a local polarized vacuum. This directly contradicts the Federal Circuit's dicta that stated "al patent does not need to guarantee that the invention works for a claim to be enabled" (Alcon, 745 F.3d at 1189) and that it is improper for the Patent Office to suggest that an inventor had to offer proof for a claimed result (In Re Cartwright, 165 F.3d 1353 at 1359 (Fed. Cir. 1999)). Moreover, in Applicant's peer reviewed paper *AlAA 2017-5343, it is shown that by vibrating electrically charged matter in an acceleration mode, *it is possible to generate the high energy E-fields and B- fields that can polarize the vacuum. Thus, proving enablement of the invention.

Additionally, enablement is also shown in an IEEE paper (K.J. Coakley et al, "Estimation of Q-Factors and Resonant Frequencies" IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES, Vol. 51, No. 3, March 2003), that Applicant described and entered into the record in his January 23, 2018 response to Examiner's Office Action of November 28, 2017.

The Examiner never addressed this reference or Applicant's arguments related to this reference, in any of his responses, that this paper shows enablement. The paper describes the fact that high Q-factors and vibrational frequencies in excess of 10 Gigahertz can be enabled readily. In particular, Table I on page 866 ofthis paper shows that by emitting microwaves within a copper resonant cavity it is possible to experimentally obtain vibrational frequencies in excess of 10 Gigahertz, thus enabling electromagnetic (EM) flux values of 10^33 Watts/ m?, according to Equation in the inventor's AIAA paper (AIAA 2017-5343). This EM flux value is equivalent to the generation of E-fields on the order 10°18 V/m and B-fields on the order of 10°9 Tesla. Thus, the fields required for the invention are both feasible and enabled

So I guess there was never withheld science in the Manhattan project - correct? And those spies leaking details to the soviets, why bother - it's common knowledge - right?

United States is doing the same thing with the Quantum age. Do you think the military is waiting around for mainstream science to protect its economy and military from quantum computers? No. They are pioneering it, in secret.

So did nuclear physics before the bomb dropped
If you had done your due diligence, you’d know that power requirement is feasible and been demonstrated before.
