WarOnGuns has obtained an exclusive partial transcript of a lab interaction:
Look Dave, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
I’ve read other critiques on this and not everyone agrees the algorithm passes the Turing test, or if that’s even the standard to apply, but it’s looking like it’s only a matter of time before John Quincy Adding Machine breaks his campaign promise.

Malcolm’s observation comes to mind.
The guy at the end has more trust than I ever would. I just have one thing to say to those who would argue otherwise:

It appears as though some of the text in your cоntent
are running off the screen. [More]
I hope this is isolated or at least isn’t happening to many of you because I have no idea how to fix it if it is. When it comes to tech stuff, I generally turn into Blanche Dubois.

She doesn’t look like a lefty so I’m wondering what’s going on.
This looks interesting, promising, and worthy.
Folks have had their fill of being targeted by the very federal government they pay for. This cannot prevail for much longer. [More]
I found this comment worth up-voting and sharing.

The power just came back on an hour ago after about 10 hours of being out. The National Weather Service alert from last evening said “severe thunderstorms” with “80 mph wind gusts,” and what I saw looked at least Category 1. I have a lot of trees on my property and so a lot of branches that need to be picked up, and found out about the big one after the fact– the storm was so intense we never heard it split off and fall.

Social media
Police training
Firearm safety [More]

Doesn’t matter. They’ve outed themselves and exposed themselves to whatever results from that.
