    Elon Musk regularly communicates with Putin since late 2022 – WSJ.
  • Which one? A super computer? Its just faster than a conventional computer by a factor that doesn't matter. A quantum computer? The public field would be way closer to that if "the government" had one that would be useful.

  • But this is not like the past. Quantum computers is not an step in evolution, it is a jump, as if from no computers to computers. Of course it's possible, but there is no basis or indication for it and so no reason to assume it. Why believe the less likely thing instead of the more likely?

    Trump judge releases 1,889 pages of election interference evidence against the former president
  • I'm not saying you are wrong; I'm saying that excuses sometimes, especially with politicians, Republicans, Trump, is enough. The dog ate my home-work. Vote. Vote all you can and get non-indoctrinated people to vote. Vote like our lives depend on it. Vote like it is you last chance to vote. Vote no matter what you think of the candidates but on which one is completely absurd and which one is not. Vote for your children and the rest of the world. Vote for not scams and lies. Vote and get people to vote.

    I pay $600/month for my "employer provided" health insurance
  • It's not a lot of money and certainly not worth it. I'm just making a point that I financially go positive rather than negative. The money comes from a private insurer that makes money every year. I'm pretty sure they are on top of things. This is not some advanced insurance scam; it's the realisation that an accident is something to be compensated for and not punished for. No-one wants to be in an accident (edge cases blah blah).

    I pay $600/month for my "employer provided" health insurance
  • I'm from a place in Europe. Had complicated surgery recently. I technically made money from it. And once the scar and minor disability is calculated, I'll probably make even more. To put things in perspective, I mean.
