Good

Yep, this is the big story in it I think as well. Sen. Ron Wyden has been investigating the Epstein financial ties and has uncovered billions in suspect wire transfers that several big banks bent the rules on for him.

It’s often a great day when the trump cult bullshit gets closely examined in a court of law. Because when all you have is bullshit, it’s pretty hard to prove anything with it.

He was a master of comedy even though it wasn’t his focus. He just wanted to make cool art, and to him his movies were like moving paintings. I think Wild at Heart could be his funniest film.

I started out with old Macs running System 7, and it was great. I had several good games installed from floppy disks and found some great shareware games online when we got our first modem and internet

Just a little too unlikely to worry about. I’d rather defend my own words in court if it came to that. “Yeah I said that shit, and it was fucking true and you know it.” for example

Nobody said you were right about anything actually, and the status of your mind is not our concern. I simply provided some relevant info that shows a promising future for EV owners.

Not accurate at all. EVs in the USA come with an 8-year / 100000 mile warranty (many are 10 years instead of 8) on the battery / EV systems mandated by federal law. Replacing the battery is not something most EVs owners will have to worry about.

Also recent research has shown that EV batteries will last 30-40% longer than most prior estimates.

Motor Trend says that current estimates are a 10-20 year average battery life for EVs.

Fine, it should be interesting to see the numbers of participants on both sides of this. Imagine being a soldier being deployed against the people of your own country, and seeing their numbers outnumber your company by 100 to 1 or more. If they’re not fully committed nazis they should be wondering if they are on the wrong side by then.

I head about it years back and hoped that by now we’d have MRAM computers that could be powered on and off like flipping a light switch. The magnetic memory being able to hold its state with no power, leads to that idea that the booted-up state could be returned to instantly from power-off.

He is the one pushing the Epstein files discharge petition in the House. He’s actually done a lot of good unlike the rest of his klan

23 years is a long-ass time. People should think about that when they monger for wars

Kinda looks like it’s a data set from the scrubbed files with no mention of the president’s name. I’ve seen his name in formerly released Epstein files so I know it should be there. There was a contact page with about 20 trump phone numbers and his email address released in the past along with other files.

Boom! Roasted that turkey!

If you really wanted to scare the neighborhood, buy one of those and assemble it to look like the Dark Souls giant skeleton dogs

My personal best guess based on philosophy, spirituality, and recent scientific discoveries is that consciousness occurs in some kind of quantum field that is connected to the human brain using quantum effects inside microtubules in neurons. (See this article for some info https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8393322/ )

There may even be a quantum collective consciousness (like Jung’s collective unconscious) that our brains have a quantum link integration with.

So it might just depend on whether or not your personal quantum consciousness field could interface with the new stuff or not.

I don’t believe that a copy of someone’s consciousness, even if a perfect copy, would ever “be” that person. That is, unless you could perform some kind of live-transfer where the live person’s sentient persona could intentionally traverse the gap between their original body into the new destination. Otherwise, the original person is just dead and you made a copy.

Edit: The same thing goes for teleportation. If they disassemble the molecules and reassemble the person at the destination, that’s probably a copy and the original person died.
