Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season
Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.
Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.
If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!
Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.
Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

Trump Vowed to Kill Biden’s Climate Law. Republicans Say Not So Fast. - WSJ
Not one Republican in the House or Senate backed the IRA. But now many are telling Trump not to repeal it (especially Midwest Republicans who love their ethanol subsidies)

RIght, it is hard to grasp the impact of this story on a football Saturday but, it is geopolitically huge. Russia and Iran, big supporter of Assad, are caught flatfooted and over-extended elsewhere. This is a potential boon for Israel and Ukraine. Russia and Iran, as it has in the past, are unable to provide back-up for Assad. Neither are Hamas or Hezbollah both severely depleted politically and militarily.
DEMOCRACY.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Regulation of AI needs to be discussed and sorted out, sooner rather than later. We can't let shady oligarchs do to AI what they did with social media. I say that without knowing whether regulation is even possible. But we have got to have that dicussion. AI is close to the point where it is going to be impactful in a lot of ways. It's the wild west now, but the wild west always consolidates into something, and our experience with social media shows that monopolies can exist on the internet.
Extremely shitty garbage human beings like Mark Zuckerberg, Susan Wojicki, and Jack Dorsey have been in firm control of how information flows in our society for a long time, with nothing remotely resembling accountability. It would be nice if that would change or AI would at least be a neutral and trustworthy entity. Chat GPT has been proven over and over again to be politically biased and heavily censored. Any AI that comes from Goolag or any other Big Tech these days will be.

Yeah, just read something that he is a highly ranked Diablo player. Honestly, though, video games are mainstream now and this hobby is no different than him being good at golf or tennis or whatever."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln
