And yet well known grift like corn-derived ethanol continue. Looking forward to cutting some welfare queens loose next go around!

And repossessing the fruits of successful Obama era industrial policy (Tesla & SpaceX) for the American people who paid for them too, of course.

In your post above, you quite clearly are making the case that information and statistics about casualties at national parks isn't useful.

Actually, they are, because they help you make judgements on e.g. whether to climb Half Dome.

The fact that you couldn't even make the connection shows just how out of touch you are here.

Jumping in to reflexively defend the admin again, I see.

Is there any policy from this admin you don't support?

How many people die climbing half dome? Do the deaths tend to happen I only inclement weather?

Do you realize how divorced from reality you people sound?

Post-NAR settlement you would have to sign a separate agreement with your buyer's agent specifying their compensation before making an offer.

Datacenters don't meaningfully impact food production.

This is just an aesthetic objection, nothing more.

Isn't there already enough graft directed towards farmers?

See your problem is Apple. Anything non-trivial becomes a nightmare on Apple. Apple sounds good in theory but is half-baked in practice.

Just use Linux, and "containers" are a subprocess and bind mount.

You're in the minority if you still assume that anything out of this administration is driven by competence rather than malevolence.

It's the Stephen Miller types that instituted a policy that throttled GCs by country of birth, independent of that country's population, as a way to achieve racial bias without explicitly talking about race.

Miller's ilk is ascendant in this administration and their Court has blessed their approach to discrimination.

The facts on the ground are that schools are not being given the resources to deal with it, leading to a death spiral of reduced enrollment and funding -- at least for SFUSD. I imagine the story is similar elsewhere.

This is the mentality that turns public schools into zoos and drives families with means to private.

In the current zeitgeist, people aren't allowed to rename themselves. Why would entities?

Though personally I prefer X/tter.

The message that incapacity, even to the point of killing four people, will be excused is quite clear.

The deterrence argument is used to throw the book at people committing minor crimes like shoplifting. Let's apply it to quadruple homicide, eh?

Mary Long Fau should have died in prison.

An incident, by the way, triggered by a human driver hitting a pedestrian and knocking them into Cruise's path.

That driver was never found. It's not clear what efforts, if any, were made to find them. After all the Cruise is covered in cameras.

Does this project aim for docker cli and api compatibility? Searching for Docker on that page yields no results. Though in their example, they do show an example of a Dockerfile referencing docker.io without shame.

Typical Apple behavior, I guess, but grating to see in a OSS tool.
