  • The problem is, you can't trust ChatGPT to not lie to you.

    And since generative AI is now being used all over the place, you just can't trust anything unless you know damn well that a human entered the info, and then that's a coin flip.

  • Thank you, ChessGPT

  • Punches the computer and starts blaming the Jews, because the unfortunate truth is that Bobby Fisher, in addition to be a massive prima donna, was kind of a Nazi.

    It's actually pretty wild, Bobby Fisher's chess mentor openly walked around with a swastika lapel pin, in the 1950s.

  • Sadly, VW has never strayed far from their roots.

    They've always been just a little scummy on the business practices side of things. More than a little scummy during WW2...

    They do sometimes have good engineering. Which means fuck all in the face of management who want to cut corners and cheat to make more money.

  • Look at the original comment in this particular thread, It calls 20k deaths rookie numbers compared to the British atrocities.

    Note how it's talking about Britton, and by extension Canada's past, and making the observation that Canada's current reluctance to face the reality of a (friendly) country's ongoing genocide is because Canada would have to face up to their own history of genocide, both when they were part of the Empire, and for decades afterward.

  • Take it from someone who was paying attention at the time. As bloody and horrific as it was, the fighting in Mosul was fucking laser guided precision compared to what Israel is doing in Gaza.

    Israel is using massive bombs in areas that it tells refugees are safe. They bomb refugee camps and convoys. As in, directly targeting them, with bombs designed to cause as much collateral damage as possible.

    And remember, the refugees are only camped in those places and taking those routes because Israel said they would be safe.

    As to the "not being fair" comparing the dead children in different wars, remember that Total deaths of children in Iraq, for the entire 14 years of the conflict with ISIS, were less than died in Gaza in a single month.

    That's what you don't seem to understand. That's why we can easily call this a genocide in motion.

    Add in comments by Israeli officials about "voluntary resettlement" in other countries.

    It's pure genocide. They're literally saying "leave your home or die, surrender your land and property on the way out". It's exactly what the Germans said to Jews in the lead up to the Holocaust.

  • Okay, city fighting is messy...

    Except the second item on the list,

    https://edition.cnn.com/gaza-israel-big-bombs

    Israel is using 2000lbs bombs in Gaza, using hundreds of them. These are not, in any way, targeted strikes. They kill civilians by the dozens.

    In 20 years of war, the US only ever used 500lbs bombs in urban environments. Even that was often barbaric in the amount of collateral damage caused.

    Also, are you calling the fucking Battle of Mosula frozen conflict?

    That was some of the bloodiest fighting in the entire war, all of it urban. There were fewer children killed in the entire 9 months than there have been killed in 3 in Gaza. And not by a small amount.

  • It's slightly more complicated than that.

    And also, the Residential Schools were 100% Canadian.

    Not that Canada was the only country to have them, no. I mean, the fault for what happened in the Canadian ones was 100% on Canada. They enforced the system with fucking Mounties, and kept those torture houses going until 1997.

  • Well, first of all is the idea that this level of destruction is in any way normal in war.

    Take a look at this chart here. Those date ranges in the chart have some of the bloodiest conflict in each war, and yet on any given day only a handful of children would die.

    Israel is killing an average of almost 150 children per day.

    That's why we're calling it a genocide.

  • You should also take the post with a grain of salt, In addition to his shitty politics, Lunduke doesn't have the best reputation for truthfulness in his tech reporting.

    He's fudged numbers before, and often makes clickbait titles that just are not supported by his blog posts or videos.

    The shitty politics were not the only reason I started ignoring his dumb ass.

  • Seems to be a Qanon guy. Or he was for a time. I've not paid attention to him in years.

    He also always came off as a grifter in search of a con, so the Qanon shit might have been part of that, but who can ever tell with those people.

  • The only place I see liquid fuel being used is in commercial transportation, particularly in shipping and rail. Anhydrous ammonia would be perfect for shipping, and a nightmare anywhere else. That shit will fucking kill you in an instant, and those who survive just wish they were dead.

    So it should only be used in highly regulated professional settings.

    That said, it's still a wonderful fuel option for those settings.

    This electrolyte swaps shit? I see it as an attempt to reuse all that gas station infrastructure all over the place.

    EV chargers are all over as well these days, but they're still not anything near as ubiquitous and gas stations.

  • Similar, but in practice it's quite a bit different.

    Halal requires a swift cut with a sharp knife across the throat of the animal. Severing the spine is expressly forbidden.

    The animal then bleeds out, which can still be a quick death, but nowhere near as fast as decapitation, which is most commonly used in kosher butchery.

    The bolt pistol used in modern butchery can also be instant. You place what looks like a pneumatic drill on the cow's forehead, and then pull the trigger. It fires a stainless steel rod forward into the cow's skull. The rod is captive at the end of its travel, so you just have to cock the tool, and you can use it again (provided it's actually pneumatically powered, and not powered by a blank round, or something else, there are a lot of versions, even some that are designed to not penetrate the skull.)
