It happens during training, too,so I don’t really see a distinction.

I was on the Lincoln in the 90s during some operations in the Persian Gulf that prevented us from docking anywhere nearby for over 2 months.

Yeah, we ran low on some of the fresh veggies and milk, but we never came close to this level. We did underway replenishment several times from supply ships. We even got mail. Aren’t they doing UNREPs?

What I think is odd is that AFAIK, only the carriers and subs have nuclear power; the smaller ships that are part of the battle group - that are responsible for protecting the carrier - are diesel, and require refueling. Resupplying things like food, toiletries, and other consumables happens at the same time, from the same ship that provides fuel. They’re obviously refueling, so why aren’t they getting other supplies?

Whatever the fuck is going on here is a major supply failure, and the public and Congress need to know about it. WTF.

Maybe not family computers so much any more, but shared devices, absolutely.

It still needs to be per user, per app. If I hand my phone to my kid or my niece, I don’t need them looking up or accidentally seeing adult content because the apps don’t ask anymore.

If the apps stop asking the user, and instead just query the OS, there’s no longer any connection to the current user. So porn sites, for example, or any app that might have adult-only content, would still have to ask. In which case - what’s the point of the OS age requirement? This is in no way more secure than the apps or websites just asking the user.

What about servers? I have several devices in my house that serve content to the rest of the house or provide other services. Would they need my birthday, even though my kids use the services? What about gaming consoles, or TVs? IoT devices? Does my thermostat, garage door opener, living room lamp, or washing machine need my birthdate?

This whole thing is truly a slippery slope that hasn’t been thought through, at least on its face. Unless, of course, the whole point of this legislation has nothing to do with “protecting children”.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I think you misunderstood who is at fault here.

The senators aren’t asking the government to spy on Americans. They’re only asking the DNI to make it clear to the public that the US government already might be spying on them.

I agree, but um…you really should look up the definition of the word “falsies”

You’ve completely missed the point. Nobody is saying that AI is fine and trustworthy.

How do you propose to punish software? How are you going to compel compensation, retribution, or justice from a computer program? It’s not possible. Nor should one even try - because it wasn’t AI that arrested her, it wasn’t AI that left her in jail for months, it wasn’t AI that fucked her over. It was cops that trusted shitty AI.

AI sucks - nobody in this thread is arguing against that. There’s lots of shitty software, though. The problem with AI is that is that those in power are trusting people’s lives with it and people are getting fucked because of it. If you’re focusing on the software, you’re excusing the cops.

On Tuesday – after the district’s four-day weekend – school officials spoke with Spud and gave him a one-day in-school suspension (ISS) for video recording in the school.

What? RTFA. 2 boys were charged by the Sheriff’s department. They didn’t face any punishment from the school, but law enforcement definitely investigated.

I can’t believe nobody realizes this is Trump’s doing. He wants to Make America Grate Again.

Ok, fuck them. But shutting down this nonprofit organization doesn’t directly affect their bottom line. It may eventually have an indirect effect.

My point is that by shutting down, the only obvious direct effect is that advertisements are now more likely to appear adjacent to bullshit hate propaganda. This doesn’t substantially hurt the advertisers in a large way - it hurts people more because it elevates the visibility of hate speech. Why would you think that’s good? This does absolutely fuck all to stop advertising or advertisers.

I agree, but for clarification it was a different teen whom he shot, who still had his BB gun.

There were 3 teens, two with BB guns. The first dropped his and was on the ground, straddled by Shooter McFuckhead when the second, still standing, was shot.

Thank god there was a “good guy with a gun” there. Otherwise nobody would have died!
