Yeh it is.
Proving that a scientific theory is wrong means we don’t understand enough about the thing. And we know we need to look at other theories about the thing.
Proving things wrong as well as failed hypothesis is as important (even if it is disappointing) as proving things correct and successful hypothesis. It rules the theory out, and guides further scientific study.
With published papers, other scientists can hopefully see what the publishing scientists missed.
Scientists can also repeat experiments of successful papers to confirm the papers conclusion, and perhaps even make further observations that can support further studies.

Oh, they do have psychological manipulation in mind.
There are 2 leading design types:
No clocks anywhere, designed to be difficult to navigate out of, designed to make the passage of time difficult to tell.
And open and bright with easy lines of sight, designed to allow gamblers to relax without leaving.

The former was developed by an ex-gambler that “turned their life around” into an architect that manipulates gamblers to gamble more. He studied the successful casinos, and gathered up all the techniques that makes gamblers gamble more.
The open layout was developed in response to this, and solely concentrates on making gamblers feel relaxed (or able to relax).

But lighting, layout, smells, sounds… Everything is accounted for.
Casino owners know the design of their casino is what makes gamblers gamble more

yeh, I need 50,000 shell companies to manage social media, online media, traditional media, us law, print media, branding, exhibitions, TV media, streaming media, free streaming media, physical media and ad campaigns.

Any anti-human when a “$10 limit for judge is sponsored by” law comes into effect.

Seriously, these judges are being bought for 500k per year. I have no sources on this. I have read news reports of politicians being bought for 10k to 100k. And, for me, 500k would massively change my life.
So 500k to lean to one side, 2 cases per year: I would be set.
The fact that these judgements affect 10k, 100k, 1m people? I would have issue with that, but if it was boiling a frog of minor judgements that don’t affect anyone but slowly increased impact and payout… I might not notice.
Especially if they slipped in a few no-impact rulings with extremely high payout (this is the “jackpot” method for training dogs, name coined from - I presume - casinos and gambling).
And by the time I’ve realised I’ve been bought out by the bad guys: I would be planning for my exit, the aftermath and my family. I’d be demanding more, selling everything out, and making sure the laws I effect benefit my exit.

It’s bought & sold. It’s disgusting.
They should be held to higher standards and procedures, with ACTUAL consequences.
I hope - at one point - they were human, and cared, and that’s why they were selected.
If they were in-human before they were selected, then the system is broken.
Considering they have the power to reverse or approve government decisions, seems like THEY are the ones people should be voting for and that the president is more of a guiding figure

You wouldn’t believe it!

He is. But the people around him and controlling/handling him aren’t idiots.
It’s either in project 2025, or some other republican playbook. Scattershot out a bunch of crazy news to swamp the news cycle and overwhelm everyone, then get to work doing the dirty stuff

It’s part of the strategy.
Overwhelm the news cycle, see what the news picks up and push that more, let the actual bad stuff go under-reported.

Unless your home internet is CG-NAT, both have a publicly accessible IP address, so both will be scanned

Papers, please

A founding member of NATO…

Who is externally reaching these servers?
Joe public? Or just you and people you trust?

If it’s Joe public, I wouldn’t have the entry point on my home network (I might VPS tunnel, or just VPS host it).

If it’s just me and people I trust, I would use VPN for access, as opposed to exposing all these services publicly

American airliners sold passenger data to ICE.

Why the fuck would I go there as a tourist?
Enjoy TSA’s finest just to be ICEd once I get to my hotel?
Fuck that, I can have a better holiday in Europe.

Edit to delete:
This whole community is satire.

That’s just people not used to dedicated cycle paths.
You would likely have as many issues of a pedestrian trying to cross a road and not seeing a cyclist, as you would travelling on a dedicated cycle path with an ignorant pedestrian.

It just needs everyone calling out people on cycle paths. They likely aren’t even aware they are on it.

But that’s a lot to read into a single picture. Maybe they have checked both ways, and know nobody is coming (like they would with cars on a road)

Edit:
The 2 people further down don’t look like they are crossing!

I can understand.
We have some new dedicated cycle lanes in our city (I mean, they are a few years old now. But fairly unique in our country).
I feel bad for the cyclists. They have a dedicated path, which pedestrians are super ignorant of (they are better marked than this picture).
My parents think they are a menace when they visit, because they are unaware of them and get menaced by cyclists.
Except, that’s literally what roads are. They just grew up with roads and (even faster) cars.

So, I am understanding of the transition.
And everyone needs to call everyone out over it. It will make everyone safer

WRT macros & VBA conversion:

with AI to save time and avoid errors

Maybe it saves time, but I doubt it avoids errors.
I would rather the time spent to develop this was spent on improving the plugin/extension/macro development ecosystem.
I know they have an SDK, and I’m sure it’s great.

But with MS Office, I can install Visual Studio, create a new VSTO plugin for what I’m targeting (excel, word, powerpoint, outlook etc), and get into coding. When I hit Play (as in run with debugger) it will launch the targeted application and build/hook in my plugin.
It’s literally idiot proof, until it gets to writing code (then it’s c#).
And Visual Studio is a decent IDE.
The only thing really holding it back is the terrible documentation from Microsoft regarding the VSTO or Com Interop or whatever it’s called. It’s truely terrible, trying to figure out how to implement your idea.

Make Codium systems similar to Platform.io (which is for Arduino, ESP32 etc), except for your given office suite.
Make it better than the Visual Studio VSTO experience.

That’s what I really want.
And more people to use it, of course. I’m so fed up of Microsoft crap

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered

I feel like that should only apply if you uphold the constitution and laws of the United States.

Just ship the tourists up to the ISS. Probably cheaper

Reason number 75 people should always be well clear of these test.

Yup, except for the really important guage that is installed on the pad, that only Elon musk is smart enough to be able to understand.
He absolutely has to monitor that guage in realtime.

I guess if the rocket hadn’t disassembled itself, then it could be used again.
I think static fire is part of the testing to proceed to a launch? So, now they have to build another and static fire that as well in order to get back to where they should be.

I remember when the first looks at (or poster of) the sonic movie came out, and it was ripped to shreds.
A prominent visual redesign of sonic went viral, and - credit where credits due - the studio reworked the movie to adopt the changes.

Human teeth? I mean, really?
