This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".

If it was from electrical failure, it'd be more likely to happen in the pilot's thrust control than simultaneously in both engines. But usually if both engines fail after take off....my money is on fuel system failure.

Yeah.... The article is conflating power failure with engine failure. It was a very odd plane crash, and it didn't appear that they had power failure. It looks like they lost thrust on both engines, which is really rare in multiengine aircraft.

Not only that, but they also just love having a circus monkey at the pulpit. More people are tuning in whether you like or hate trump, it doesn't matter to them or the advertisers.

I'd def agree with that before him wanting resources.

Idk, the gdp of Greenland is only 3b a year and it's mostly from fishing. There's really nothing the US could extract from Greenland that would be worth the cost of invading it. There's some potential for mining, but you'd have to build an entire infrastructure to do it, and we don't even want to invest in building infrastructure in the US.

Realistically the only thing that makes Greenland strategically important would be controlling the shipping lanes up north. However, the only strategically significant rival we have that utilizes those shopping lanes are Russia, whom the administration wants to buddy up too.

I think it's just meat they throw out to the media anytime they want to distract from their failures, and of course our pathetic press just gobbles it up every time.

I don't know for sure, but I imagine all airports have a bunch of cameras. To me it looks like it was a wider shot and someone went and focused on it through the NVR.

Idk, the US full throated supporting Israel is fighting against the innate urge for trump to rat fuck any ally possible.....

Tbh it seems like a 50/50, based on the article the administration seems to be trying to distance themselves from the event. Pulling personnel out of Iraq and warning allies of the attack may be good news. Hopefully we may have just witnessed Bibi overstepping the line for the last time?

visited the foothills once

Again, projecting....

Yeah. That's what i said. I didn't say we would stay healthy, i said they couldn't starve the people without going hungry themselves.

Lol, shifting the goal post ....your original claim was that people in certain areas would be fine living off the land if the government theoretically cut off the food supply. You then shifted the argument to the government cannot shut off the food supply. You then went into some weird delusional fantasy that Californians would rise up and take down aircraft carriers with missiles.

Yeah they own stuff. But i buy my groceries from these peoples' families, and they arent all cool with this.

Aren't cool with isn't the same as willing to indulge your weird ass fantasy land where they become freedom fighters.

Yes some people are willing to do violence to preserve their rights, but most people are just trying to live their lives and fly under the radar. Which is why history is filled with tragedy and injustice.

But you just kind of ignored everything i said so you could say something technically true and put it where a response to me would go.

What part did I ignore? You brought up incorrect facts about the CCP and the Black Panthers, which I addressed accurately.

I just think you like to speak before you think. We're not in a romantic novel, life is hard and the good guys don't always win. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just trying to temper your optimism with the reality of what happens to the vast majority of revolutionary forces.

Don't get me started

You were the one who brought it up?

So i got you?

So you don't know what projection is?

original comment I responded to was "let's not act like a gun control zealot is what the US "left" needs right now".

Yeah.....? And your response was so off point that even you decided it was worth deleting.

Right now, we don't have those stricter gun control laws, so your theoretical universe with the slippery slope is irrelevant.

Lol, the person you were responding to was specifically calling out David Hoggs and the DNC dying on the hill of gun control.

This is a race for NY Mayor, and Mamdani is exactly what we need right now.

Wut? We were specifically talking about David hogg what does mamdani have to do with our conversation? You might remember what you were talking about about if you didn't delete your own comment, fucking coward.

Look at a map. Talk to the people in all the places you'd have to go through. Maybe if they let this die down, and start it with something other than a police action. But if this goes hot? From fed cops? No. The sierra-nevadas may as well be in afghanistan.

I used to live in the Western foothills of the valley..... it's mostly empty rolling hills dude.

The logistics of getting food to stores is complex and it really wouldn't take much but some instability to cause major food insecurity in the majority of the country.

True, it wont be universal. I'm even seeing people in OC upset about this though, and if the admin's lost them, they've lost every major foothold with californians. Maybe downtown palo alto, for about five minutes. Maybe san diego, if they skew the demographics with a few aircraft carriers-but theres not much food between there, mexico, and the mountains.

I think you are overestimating the amount of people who would transition from being upset to taking up arms against the government. Most people barely pay attention to politics.

You don't even know what a maoist 'people's war' even is, and that's likely the doctrine they'll start with. You certainly don't know who the panthers were, or the kinds of people they were. You don't know what or where you're talking about.

Lol, the CCP were fighting with much more than just small arms. They and the kmt were both supplied by the US and the Soviets against the Japanese.

You certainly don't know who the panthers were, or the kinds of people they were. You don't know what or where you're talking about.

The Black Panthers never went to war with a military..... Fred Hampton was murdered by regular cops with pistols shotguns and rifles.

Just because I don't buy into your delusion that all of California is going to rise up and defeat aircraft carriers with som Glock and some semi auto rifles, doesn't mean I don't know about leftist revolutions.

Chuds can't and wont do real work. Not in numbers, anyway.

Chuds already manage the farms and ranches in Cali.

Notoriously productive resilient and efficient with their military resources: Slave States!

Yes, because there's no historical evidence of militant police states being able to feed themselves......

You play too many fucking map view strategy games. Go outside, maybe read a book. Or at least play the more complicated map games.

Lol, dude. You are projecting.... You sound exactly like all the come and take it right winged chuds who thinks they're going to turn into Rambo over night.

Something wrong with the fuel system was my initial armchair guess, but I'm not so sure based off the second vid. One would expect to see some yaw or rolling in an underpowered or lost of power take off with a jet.

Guess we'll have to wait until someone more qualified explains it.
