The US was intimately involved in getting the Shah into power in Iran alongside the Brits in the 1950s.

24 years?

They’ve been at it since WW2 ended.

71 million miles in simulators and closed tracks

Windows 10: how to re-enable the actual sleep function on your PC/Laptop. Not the crappy MS one that they can wake up on demand.

Optionally: change power button to Hibernate

Change the hibernate after setting.

But that is how the LLM systems work.

They work on statistical probability based on mentions in their data model.

One would expect that Boeing would be associated more with crashes given how bad their control has been in the last few decades.

Thats a net positive.

My general idea would be to be somewhere important enough that your quality of life is closer to TNG or Earth than DS9, without being in the constant danger and risk that TNG and Earth provide.

No, don’t live on Earth in Star Trek.

As the functional capital of the federation and HQ of starfleet, its like living in DC comics Metropolis. Every damned alien race capable of plotting has a secret plot on Earth. Whether its some weird parasitic bugs taking over the admiralty, the borg, the romulans, the Dominion, or the upstart of the week, the casualty/injury rate has to be pretty horrific.

Mars is theoretically ideal, but get targeted because of the massive public shipyards, so it has a time limit of being good.

Jupiter, however, has less well known shipyards and all those moons to explore. It never gets outright attacked or destroyed, even the Borg just go past it. Jupiter is the place to be.

Obama pardoning the Bush admin for torture was seen as weak and pathetic at the time, and its worse now.

He should have thrown the book at Bush and co.

In a public school that had is own number, a harmless prank people used to pull was to dial the payphone’s own number then immediately hang up and dash off. It would then ring and confuse the person who was nearest.

Cats have had domesticated humans for roughly 10,000 years.

Goats have been domesticated for at least 10,000 years.

Dogs have been domesticated for at bare minimum 15,000 years.

People have had their favourite pet animals for much longer than you think.

It was a cover to allow Musk to get access to all US gov data and build that into an AI.
