Did anyone watch it?

What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member? ( kbin.social )

My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole....

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

He is anti hunting, anti poverty, anti malaria, anti Israel, pro veteran, anti fascist, anti chevron, anti brexit and pro Assange.

Which part dampens your enjoyment?

🎶Where do we go now🎶 ... nowhere without Axl.

The epic tracks in use your illusion were mostly Axl, that could count for or against.

You could invent a new word, but that doesn't help people understand the problem.

You are looking for an existing word that describes providing unintentionally incorrect thoughts but is totally unrelated to humans. I suspect that word doesn't exist. Every thinking word gets anthropomorphized.

Inflation is only a recent phenomenon.

Clean? I would have said burial was more environmentally friendly.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Good points.

I will specify organs donated and Eco friendly coffin without embalming.

Americans get cheaper EVs and the legacy auto industry gets taught a valuable lesson as companies who refused to modernize go bankrupt.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

until the American automakers go bankrupt, as you said, then the Chinese automakers increase prices 10x.

Americans can also buy EVs from countries other than China. America can also subsidise internal EV production.

My point is that we shouldn't give a fuck about petrol loving manufacturers.

What a valuable lesson.

Respond to user demand and environmental pressure.

Don't arrogantly assume your polluting product will remain market leader.

Don't build ever bigger vehicles just to avoid particular regulations.

Do you even understand what below cost means?

Yes. Would you like some oil industry case studies?

No amount of modernization will counteract it.

Have you heard of R&D investment, continual process improvement and economies of scale?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

You're literally just talking to yourself,

They responded

ignoring any mention of selling below cost, which is the biggest issue,

Adressed twice.

  • Suggesting subsidies should be given to American EV manufacturers

  • Investing to lower costs.

with spyware being a close 2nd.

You think US products won't have spyware?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

You're saying "they", but it's you.

If you respond then I'm not talking to myself.

Never addressed at all, you pivoted to the oil industry.

Directly answering a question is not pivoting. You asked if I knew about producing below cost. Yes, there are lots of examples of subsidies in the oil industry.

You didn't address the subsidies from China or the unfair trade practices.

I did. Twice.

America will not subsidize to that level

Course it could. Have you seen the defense budget? Take some of that.

no amount of innovation is going to combat subsidization. Are you seriously arguing that "investment to lower cost" will reduce the cost by 85-90%?

I said the solution was subsidies and innovation.

I don't think that collecting anonymized usage data,

Are you certain it is anonymous?

is the same as unlimited spying going back to an authoritarian government.

America is already an authoritarian government.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Honestly, everything you have said is dishonest and/or disingenuous.

Nope. Dishonest would be failing to recognise the legacy auto industry's failure to invest sufficiently in EVs and related infrastructure. A disingenuous person would try to argue purely with xenophobia.

The idea that the price of the vehicle is going to be reduced by 90% as a result of subsidies and innovation is both stupid and dishonest.

Isn't that exactly what you are claiming the Chinese are doing?

You should also look up the definition of authoritarian.

You should take a good look at American justice and law enforcement.

Why bother digging. We just need a loop of magnetic lenses in deep space.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

If we get space elevators then that may be cheaper.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

This?

Is this really dark matter, or just more evidence of where the current physics modelling is incorrect?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

The gravitational lens distortion of distant galaxies is basically impossible without dark matter.

... using our current model of the Universe.

Dark matter, and dark energy in particular, were introduced to make existing models fit the data.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Dark matter must travel slowly compared to light. Neutrinos are fast.

But could neutrinos be dark energy?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Yes. Of course.

I was just taking issue with the phrase "probably detected" and would instead say "effects were better observed".

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

I may be an anti billionaire

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

I have no problem with the scientists searching for better models.

It's the scientists talking about dark matter like it's as established as an electron whereas dark matter and energy is more like aether.

The entire evidence for dark matter (and dark energy) has been generated by matching data to models we are sure are incorrect (quantum gravity).

Then the choice of where to do inpainting and outpainting with further prompts is a very artistic decision.

Technically we are highly complex, self replicating 3D printers.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Why can't someone replicate old Google pagerank?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

How do you define "own".

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Only the first item is related to business, and even that implies repeated failure.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

I think there may be a market for an LMM that is executed locally and privately incorporates personal data.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

OK. So own here means exclusively resell. Thanks.

I note that NFT is not mentioned once. Is that because this isn't blockchain based?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

There is no such thing as a free service.

But there is such a thing as a monopoly.

Where are the youtube competitors that keep prices competitive?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Yes. I'm so tired of how easy it is to shoehorn advertising into any post. That's why I use the Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn.

Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established ( apnews.com )

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

The Palestinian people do not deserve to live under the rule of Hamas

Depends. Does conversion to a political party imply free elections and opposition parties to exist?

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Follow the North Ireland model independent verification of compliance (on both sides).

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

A terror group with full power is no longer a terror group.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

The basis of your statement is nonsensical.

Terror organisations don't control the rights of people. (If they did, then terrorism would not be needed)
