I am waiting for my trillion ruble note as a keepsake.

What do you want to bet the NSA has recordings of Musk's phone calls? Probably the only thing preventing the feds from using these recordings would be they would have to let on they have this capability.

It's not scientific racism, it's racism justified by pseudoscientific bullshit.

The USA is degenerating into a mafia state. There is an organized criminal conspiracy to disrupt elections and take over the government. What is being done about it?

In other news, the entertainment industry is run by soulless ghouls that will do anything they believe is necessary to increase revenue, including adding sex and violence that requires no language or subtlety to understand.

My guess is if you are hanging out with Donald Trump, his odor is the least of your problems

How about BBSs? If you want to spam at 1200 baud, you had better be dedicated.

It's going to take a while to torrent a movie on the 40 meter band.

Along with the bibles, the steaks, the bogus university, the bogus charity... he's really trying to win the scam decathlon.

Isn't there some way to use the liars paradox in Star Trek to destroy super intelligent computers? That would seem such a more satisfying way to destroy it.

I have lived in several counties in Illinois and North Carolina. They have been urban or semi-urban counties. I have never experienced any problems voting anywhere I've lived. In fact, it seems like they bend over backwards to offer every option for voting. I am much more concerned about gerrymandering and effective bribery of elected officials using campaign donations.

It's a great line, but it's also kind of tragic that these kind of soundbites are how we decide who is commander and chief of the armed forces.

USB = Unintelligible Symbols of Bewilderment

If they don't blink and you hear the servos whirring, that's a pretty good sign.

When Apple figures out a way to maximize its profit by extorting those search engines.

In other news, they interviewed 200 historians and by chance found one that happened to predict 9 of the last 10 elections correctly.

Knowing the media, not being able to say anything coherent is a benefit for him, because unlike Harris, nothing he says can be construed as truth, a lie, or anything sensible. If Harris says something that could be even slightly wrong, she will be pilloried, while Trump will be excused because he is senile.

Gravity is not instantaneous. It moves at the speed of light. And the "speed of light" can only be measured locally, because the time and space at a point are curved. The path of light corresponds to "null geodesics" in spacetime, and a body traveling along the geodesic experiences no time elapsed.

The only material changes I can see would be for Russia to move nuclear weapons into occupied Ukraine and/or resumes nuclear testing. Every other escalation does not result in a change their stance that can be perceived from outside Russia. Either of these events would cause an enormous elevation in the readiness and deployment of NATO forces and would risk uncontrolled escalation. How desperate is Putin now?

The system can be overwhelmed by having too many incoming rockets, so it does have its limits.
