I very much doubt anything of even remote scientific value was lost.

If not for the fact that Israel already tends to overstate the impact of a strike against them like a child screaming bloody murder when they're given the slightest shove by a sibling, then because I find it very hard to believe they didn't have any data backups of their research in place.

Can confirm,

Hitler only needed one of these, and all of his fascistic tendencies were gone in a heartbeat.

Uncritical support to the bee.

If its Boeing, we ain't Going.

It already is a feature on Microsoft copilot. Literally taking pictures of your screen every minute and feeding it to their AI for parsing whilst keeping said screenshots in an unencrypted hidden folder

Nuke'em all

How many of my xi bucks do I have to spend to acquire a certified Lemmygrad Gold account?

In the UK, the only warning system we have is receiving a text message. And even that is a hit or miss because only half of the people I know actually received one when the govt was testing the system a couple years ago.

Okay... So this sounds like most western prisons.

What's their point in trying to demonize China specifically?

Not all hope is lost...

You may still be able to survive on Bri*ish baked beans

Here's the thing I don't like about UBI though.

If the govt pays out, say 500 bucks every week into my account as part of a UBI payment, what stops landlords from just increasing their rent, or supermarkets and local utility monopolies from raising their prices just because they can?

At that point, you're back to square one, and still under threat of being homeless and starving just because you've been priced out of the market. Additionally, UBI will only exacerbate the problem of wealth inequality, as while poorer families will be using the payments to pay for necessities they need to survive, wealthier families who straight up don't need the extra help will just use it to accumulate and horde more assets, on top of receiving increased profits from all the poorer families putting their entire UBI payments towards affording their increased prices.

What we should be doing instead, is providing universal basic services. Free housing, food, water, electricity, transport, healthcare, education, guaranteed work, and so on. Everything you need to live a basic subsistence, provided at little to no cost to everyone who needs it with no strings attached. From there, if you want additional luxuries like a bigger house, vacations abroad, etc, then you would need to work, but you won't be fucked if there happens to be no work going around.

At least Biden wasn't arresting students for having an anti-israel opinion.

Yes, actually, he was.

To where? The ocean?

Undersea cables connect the UK with the rest of the EU's power grid, even going all the way to Norway.

I don't see any reason, other than political, why a similar system can't be engineered in Australia to connect its power grid to Papa New Guinea, New Zealand or Indonesia if it hasn't already.
