Gun control advocates is 15 people dead by a car better than 15 people killed by gun? I have always argued that if someone was mentally ill and wanted to kill they did not need a gun. They most likely had access to a far more dangerous weapon in a car. It is not the weapon of choice(typically a gun) rather the choice to use a weapon that we have to change.

He had a steel jaw and would let his opponent beat the crap out of him using up all their energy and then turned on them when they were weak from beating him. In 61 fights he was knocked down 4 times and never knocked out.

The Korean airport did have an EMAS system in place but that system is predicated on the fact the planes landing gear will be down.

This is one of the few shows I actually watch. I think it is very underrated.

It was likely a catastrophic failure of the hydraulic systems like the Sioux City Iowa crash in 1989. In that one they lost all flight controls. In this one it looks like they lost the ability to lower their landing gear and just slid till it was going to stop. Just happened to be a wall in place that stopped it.

Shittt I did not even let him get to the HM. I busted him out on the spot. He tried to lie but eventually came clean and told me about the scam and how it worked. It was predicated on the fact that people from the US can not tell the difference between indians and we are conditioned to not call people out for looking different.

If you are interviewing for a remote role they will have their buddy baujeet do the phone screen for them. The person interviewing IS qualified. The person who does the job daily is learning on the job in Hydrabad. One time when everything was onsite I hired a person via skype and had to walk them onsite that day to meet the manager. He showed up and did not look anything like the guy I hired or the ID he was using. Not even the same skin tone.

I fuckking hate the H1b system. I have watched it be abused by large staffing agencies who have SLED contracts and just push them into those roles. Every one of these roles could be filled with US candidates but here is the thing. Where US candidates will tell you the truth about their experience. H1bs ALL have 8 years of experience using ANY tech you want. Does not matter what it is. So their resumes always look better than a US citizen. They fake it till they make it or they will sometimes just farm out the work to their buddies in India.

I just read a story where the DUKE football team is going to pay their QB 4 mil a year for 2 years. DUKE. If you are a college STAR at a big university why would you enter the draft? At this point as a college star athlete the road to go is to get a huge NIL deal right out of high school, redshirt, then play your 4 years. Make 20, 30, maybe 40 million and be so financially secure that if a team drafts you and you do not like them you can just sit out that season and go back into the draft. This the wild wild west man. At the very least this will cause a disruption in the talent pipeline for the NFL. Players NOT wanting to come out because they NEED to make money for their family. Shitt you are likely to have legit star players make enough money IN COLLEGE that they skip playing in the NFL and just go on to being businessmen or doing something in their degree field and not having to expose themselves to CTE Imagine seeing Travis Hunter say fock you nfl. I made 40 million in college. I am going to do what I really love and be an anthropologist.

I will say that Colin and Che are literally the only things about SNL that are even remotely funny. I can not watch the sketch shows because they are just terrible. But these two guys make me laugh damn near every time I see them. You can tell they like each other and have fun

Mannnn. I was a big fan of Maurice Clarett. He got some bad focking advice that changed the trajectory of his life. Someone who guided him to do that. He could have waited and still been a high draft pick. I absolutely can see how NOW players are going to want to stay in college as long as they can. Petitions for redshirts are going to skyrocket. Extra eligibly requests too. I WANT to stay in for 6 years. Shittt half a million dollars a year is cheap man. The guy from DUKE is getting 4 mil a year. FOUR. For a college that will never, ever compete for a national title in football. Ewers could probably make that to a QB needy team. Arch Manning would be wise to ride it out as long as he can also. Use that manning name to sponsor everything in texas. Build up a giant cash reserve of fuckk you money I can envision terrible teams in the NFL HAVING to trade their number one overall draft pick to a better team or risk losing that pick because the player will not play for a crappy team and would rather go back into the draft the next year for a chance at a better situation

That is sure what they and their MSM friends were pushing BEFORE the hunter biden pardon. Now they do not give a fock anymore. cats out of the bag

Business insider is a liberal hackjob

I never held the dog fighting against him. People make mistakes and the NFL in particular is filled with flawed people who have surrounded themselves with a crappy posse that gets them into trouble. He made his amends and has not done ANYTHING to get him on the radar of the press or the law. Good for him to find a job in football doing something he loves.

I find it amusing that the democratic party stood for "law and order" and the president "respected the rule of law" till Biden lost and has no reason at all to be deceitful any more. No reason to keep up the image that he and the democrats care about the law. All they care about is their moral high ground.

Sooooo what happens if luigi mangione is tried but a jury refuses to convict? All it takes is ONE person who had a family member focked over by the insurance companies to hang a jury. Do they keep trying him till they get a verdict or does he walk. If he walked would trump order the justice department to file charges?

I do not. It takes 12 to convict. It takes 1 to hang a jury. I think it would be harder to get 12 people to agree to convict than for 1 person to hold out.

I think you underestimate the amount of people that have had family or friends focked over by the insurance companies.

Are you saying that this is not an outcome that is possible? A large amount of people out there seem to support him.

I do not believe you anymore. No one can be this dumb. It has to be an act.

Google has made an eyebrow-raising claim, saying that its new quantum chip may be tapping into parallel universes to achieve its results. The search giant recently unveiled a new quantum computer chip, dubbed Willow, which — on a specific benchmark, at least — the company says can outperform any supercomputer in the world. "Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing," Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven wrote in a blog post announcing the chip. "It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years." "This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe," he argued. "It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch." Deutsch is a physicist who laid out his multiverse hypothesis in a 1997 book called "The Fabric of Reality," in which he suggested that quantum computers' calculations take place across multiple universes at the same time. Put another way, Google is suggesting that its chip is so fast that its computations may have taken place across parallel universes — a bombastic statement that unsurprisingly drew plenty of skepticism online. For one, the calculation Willow was tasked to solve wasn't really anything useful to anybody. "The particular calculation in question is to produce a random distribution," German physicist and science communicator Sabine Hossenfelder tweeted in response to Google's announcement. "The result of this calculation has no practical use." "They use this particular problem because it has been formally proven (with some technical caveats) that the calculation is difficult to do on a conventional computer (because it uses a lot of entanglement)," she added. "That also allows them to say things like 'this would have taken a septillion years on a conventional computer' etc." Willow is a 100-qubit, or quantum-bit, chip. Unlike conventional computers, which use zeroes and ones for a binary system, quantum computers rely on qubits, which can be on, off, or — counterintuitively — both thanks to quantum entanglement, the mysterious phenomenon that allows particles to influence each other's states even when separated by distance. "It's exactly the same calculation that they did in 2019 on a circa 50 qubit chip," Hossenfelder wrote. At the time, Google made a similarly bombastic claim, arguing that it had achieved "quantum supremacy," or "the point where quantum computers can do things that classical computers can’t, regardless of whether those tasks are useful," as John Preskill, who first coined the term in 2012, wrote in a 2019 Quanta Magazine column. That last part appears to be particularly relevant, given Google's latest claim. "So while the announcement is super impressive from a scientific point of view and all, the consequences for everyday life are zero," Hossenfelder argued. "Estimates say that we will need about 1 million qubits for practically useful applications and we're still about 1 million qubits away from that." The physicist also suggested that such wild claims may eventually "evaporate because some other group finds a clever way to do it on a conventional computer after all." Google's claim of quantum supremacy drew immediate criticism in 2019, sparking a years-long feud between the company and quantum computing rival IBM. At the time, IBM researchers charged that Google had exaggerated its claims. In a 2023 follow-up blog post, IBM researchers argued that the problem Google's quantum computer was instructed to solve in 2019 could be "performed on a classical system in 2.5 days and with far greater fidelity." "This is in fact a conservative, worst-case estimate, and we expect that with additional refinements the classical cost of the simulation can be further reduced," the researchers wrote at the time. In short, there's still a good reason to believe that Google's latest claim that Willow could be operating in the multiverse will be debunked. Apart from Deutsch's interpretation, researchers have also suggested that quantum particles are instead in a state of all positions before measurement, a theory known as the Copenhagen interpretation. Where all of this leaves Google's breakthrough and its significance remains debatable. But the company is already looking far ahead, promising to continue to scale up Willow to a point where it may actually become useful. "This is the most convincing prototype for a scalable logical qubit built to date," Neven wrote in the announcement. "It’s a strong sign that useful, very large quantum computers can indeed be built."

The bullshittt media covering for a the ceo of a crappy company by limiting things people can say in HIS OP ED. Like a bunch of bitchess. This is why people do not trust the media anymore The New York Times turned off the comment section on the UnitedHealth CEO's op-ed after it became flooded with negative replies accusing the executive of empty promises. Andrew Witty, the CEO of UnitedHealth Group, mourned the loss of UnitedHeathCare CEO Brian Thompson in an editorial piece published by the New York Times Friday, while also offering sympathy to those frustrated with the healthcare system. But while Witty said that he was "willing to partner with anyone" to find ways to provide high-quality care at a lower cost, hundreds of readers mocked him, saying he offered no real solutions to the problem. "I have read this twice, and in essence it says nothing. What is he proposing to change or improve?" one person commented. "Tone-deaf corporate speak design to try and quell the anger of the masses; nice try," another person wrote under the op-ed. "This is the quintessential CEO statement: not a single actual idea or recommendation, and it gets released by corporate media anyways," another person said in the comments. "What a disingenuous piece," one person commented. Some users even shared their own stories, saying they had been denied claims that left them with large bills they were unable to pay. "Denying an elderly woman (my mom) gap health insurance because she has a preexisting condition - arthritis," another person commented. "That's corporate greed." "When I had UHC and my then husband needed spinal surgery UHC deemed most of it medically unnecessary and socked us with a $300k bill as our share," one user commented, adding that it took them two years to get the bill reduced. The Times turned off the comments hours after the publication of the op-ed, however the old comments are still available to read. Thompson's murder sparked a surge in social media users critiquing and discussing health insurance companies. Similar to the NYT's comment section, dozens shared stories of times where they were allegedly turned away by insurance companies. Others have joined a fanbase for Luigi Mangione, the alleged suspect in Thompson's murder, creating GoFundMes for his legal defense and boosting support for him online. Mangione has been charged with second-degree murder.

I can agree with this. She made the WNBA interesting to watch. I literally cannot remember anyone who did that before.

I came here to say George Lopez. He is one of the least funny humans ever and every few years he gets a new TV show as the token Latino. They are always terrible.

I have no issues with the gays. The only issue I have with the trannies is that they want the world to bend to them because they are special. The gays just go about their business.
