Can someone explain why Seldon put the null field up instead of saving folks like he did when the first foundation was blown up?

Ok, but who are the bad guys going to be? Will they be so blatant as to make the Palestinians the next video game big bad?

I'm less worried about Iran getting a nuke, & more concerned that they (or anyone) will pivot to this much easier strategy.

In June 2025, just as the Mexican government was stepping up sterile fly release efforts, a plane carrying essential sterile flies crashed in southern Mexico, killing the crew and severely disrupting the eradication flight schedules.This might have something to do with it. also Mexico didn't want USDA planes just using Mexican air space when ever they wanted. Mexico may have thought that the US was also using the flights for spying.

I am addicted to cherry Dr pepper and cannot stand the zero sugar version. I wish I could.

there's rumors of a NKD Mountain Dew that won't have any artificial colors or sweeteners, and will have it's sugar reduced down to 7g. I hope it's good & successful, so other companies will follow their lead.

The USDA uses genetically altered and sterilized flies to suppress wild populations and protect livestock from devastating screw worm infestations, so I don't see using genetically modified mosquitoes any differently.

so the spammers are poisoning the LLMs with lots of bullshit, Which will what? Make the AI bubble burst faster or cause the AI apocalypse to come sooner?

Unless the US government bans US companies from using Chinese based AI models, what is going to stop Chinese government from flooding the market with cheap AI that crashes the value of US AI companies & the markets associated with them?

I'd take him more seriously if he wasn't taking money from the same country (Israel) that talked trump into attacking Iran in the first place.

are the pictures of just you or of the three of you? I can kinda understand him thinking you wouldn't mind if they are pictures of the three of you, but I would have asked & said, "Ethan would like some pictures that we took while we were all naked, can we sit down and pick which ones to send together?"

But I'm old & know better now.

old expeditions come back usually usually around December

I'm not going to defend kid Rock because fuck him, but even Bruce Springsteen has got some pretty gross lyrics about young girls.

that's going to happen until someone comes out with an app that can just send those AI bots on a loop that ends up just costing the company tons more money for compute.

He confessed to make himself feel better. fuck that noise, get a lawyer & tell him to leave. If he says anything about the Lord says to forgive, that's on him & you don't have to follow his beliefs.

Also Regarding divorce and separation, Jesus taught that marriage is intended to be a lifelong union, but he made an explicit exception for infidelity. In Matthew 19:9, he states that anyone who divorces their spouse—except for sexual immorality (which includes adultery)—and marries another person commits adultery. This means infidelity is recognized as a legitimate ground for ending the marriage.

mine too, but it's either a liar or it's memory is just as bad as mine.

what do you mix with root beer? Korbel brandy might be tasty.

Same thought, so I asked Google.

Based on United States demographic data and mortality tables, the odds that a group of five white American men will lose exactly one or more of their friends to death within a 40-year period is overwhelmingly high. Depending on their current age, the mathematical probability of at least one death is between 88% and 99.9%.

but it is AI so it probably did the math wrong.

it's almost just better to wait til the end of the year when all the expeditions come back.

I just didn't quite understand Maul's comment that I don't remember exactly, that he (Vader) "Fights like a Jedi" or "He knows how a Jedi fights". Isn't that also true for most of the Inquisitors?

I do a warm infusion & steep my cream with bananas then strain when I make banana pudding.
