  • LA drivers get creative as surging gas prices threatens love affair with the car

    Jump

  • I'm in the 82nd richest county in the country. It isn't gouging. It is the fact that gasoline must be shipped using ships that comply with the Jones Act because California no longer has any refineries. The rest of the country has locally-produced gasoline. California relies on ships that cross the Panama Canal to get to the west coast. It isn't cheap.

  • Grandmother Faces Trial in Alabama for Wearing Penis Costume to No Kings Protest

    Jump

  • Alabama does have a statute concerning lewd behavior that might apply to this circumstance, so the officer might have some grounds. However, if I were a judge, I wouldn't want that in my court. I can see a prosecutor dismissing the case after holding her in jail the legal length of time before dropping charges.

  • LA drivers get creative as surging gas prices threatens love affair with the car

    Jump

  • California is more exposed to international energy prices because of the lack of refining in west coast states. It either has to be trucked or shipped. Not cheap. My local gas station in Kansas is still $3.409.

    How China blew up its own future

  • Kurdish dissident groups say they are preparing to join the fight against Iran with US support

    Jump

  • I agree. But, maybe, at some point, they settle on Kurds having a country that's got zero overlap with Turkish land and in a place not strategically important to Turkey.

    Edit: And we may see Azerbaijan enter the war and gain Azeri territory at the same time and I think Turkey would be very favorable to that end. So maybe they take a plus and a minus to even things out?

  • Loaded Oil Tanker Reportedly Docks In Cuban Port Despite U.S. Blockade

    Jump

  • What are they going to do with oil? Does Cuba have any working refineries? Ñico López is down due to a fire the other day. Hermanos Díaz refinery is entirely offline, retooling for capacity to refine heavier oil. It won't be online again for months. The only other refinery I know is only does coking to produce non-fuel chemicals and lighter grade oil that's fed back into Ñico López.

  • Red and Blue States Alike Want To Limit AI in Insurance. Trump Wants To Limit the States.

  • It depends how it is done. Instead of denials, it could be used to "approve without review" all the easy cases and then forward to a human all the rest. This would speed up approval for lots of situations and focus human effort on more difficult cases.

  • Can Americans demand a new SSN, now that the whole social security database was exfiltrated by Elon (via DOGE) and leaked to Cloudflare + an adocacy group seeking to overturn election results?

    Jump

  • I think more likely the SSN becomes less valuable as an identification tool. For a lot of places, your phone number has already become the default qualifier, including in credit profiling. Everyone else is relying on phone companies to vet your identity.

  • Olympic Store Sells Out of T-Shirt Promoting Adolf Hitler's 1936 Games

  • AI Fails at 96% of Jobs (New Study) | ColdFusion [12:48]

    Jump

  • The video skips a very important step. It isn't just human vs. AI. It is human vs. human+AI. If a human can do 10x the work with an AI assistant, we only need 1/10 the humans in that job for the same output. So then the question is, does the added productivity grow that market, retaining those jobs, create new market opportunities, shifting those jobs, or just produce a bunch of unemployed people?

  • BREAKING: SSPX announces consecration of bishops without Vatican approval

    Jump

  • Canon law provides for automatic excommunication. In 1988, the excommunications were also manually confirmed by the Vatican. We have a lot of time between now and July 1st for a compromise to be made between the Vatican and SSPX, but if one is not found, I suspect it will result in a blanket excommunication of all who remain within the SSPX but that a window will be opened elsewhere for traditionalists who remain faithful to Peter.

  • What steps would make the USA turn into a Balkanised set of Nation-states?

    Jump

  • 500 years of general public and economic decline where access to information is greatly reduced and local governments slowly replace the influence of the national government. Over time they organize locally for protection as outsiders begin to pillage whatever value remains. It'll look a lot like what happened to the Roman Empire.
