TFG or That Florida Guy? Either way, can the GOP win in 2024?
StringJunky replied to Phi for All's topic in Politics
Funding TFG's legal needs and the election will probably finish them off. These issues are a billion dollars each on there own. Unless someone throws a billion their or his way. -
Why do people get antsy about stuff. Nobody creates in a vacuum.

nonstop barrage of full page ad walls
StringJunky replied to TheVat's topic in Suggestions, Comments and Support
Just looked, it hasn't been available since Safari 13. Adlock has been described as similar. Maybe worth a look? -

uBlock Origin is available for most platforms. Look in settings as well for more blocks. Ive used it for years. -
War Games: Russia Takes Ukraine, China Takes Taiwan. US Response?
StringJunky replied to iNow's topic in Politics
It's looking like the UK may well turn left this election. -
Revenge is a dish best served cold... like that.

War Games: Russia Takes Ukraine, China Takes Taiwan. US Response?
StringJunky replied to iNow's topic in Politics
With Russia finally admitting it is "at war" with Ukraine, will this change anything in terms of the rules of conflict? Does that free open more options for them in what they can allow militarily with their armed forces and population? -
Is print the double edged sword that dangles by a thread?
StringJunky replied to dimreepr's topic in General Philosophy
Is it part of a managed persona to be constantly cryptic? It's a waste of life "conversing" with you, how you behave. Your behaviour is fucking irritating. This is the first and last time I'm saying this. -
Crispr experiment allows cell level removal of HIV.
StringJunky replied to StringJunky's topic in Science News
I can understand the palpable hint of getting rid of this that many HIV+ must feel right now. I contracted HCV in the 80's, through my own fault, diagnosed in 1992. They had Interferon sufficiently nailed down for me to push it below detection in 2016. This is routine now with far kinder drugs. 20-30 years is a long subjective time to wait for a long term solution. -

One day he might twig on. -
The ''demon core' still killed a few although that was through naivete of its handlers.

Scientists say they have successfully eliminated HIV from infected cells, using Nobel Prize-winning Crispr gene-editing technology. Working like scissors, but at the molecular level, it cuts DNA so "bad" bits can be removed or inactivated. The hope is to ultimately be able to rid the body entirely of the virus, although much more work is needed to check it would be safe and effective. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68609297

StringJunky replied to dimreepr's topic in General Philosophy
I recently rejoined FB and the manipulation of natural images, and presented as verbatim is truly pukable. Verbatim representations will increasingly become a very rare commodity. -
From a non-nationalist perspective, no country should have overwhelming, asymmetric military ability. That's not how one maintains an equitable global peace. In that light, it was highly fortunate the Americans couldn't keep it to themselves.

I really need your help with some calculations
StringJunky replied to tmdarkmatter's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
They are both far away, such that lens compression has brought them together front to back. The naked eye view will do the same. What you are seeing is the relative sizes brought together, then the brain does the rest to make sense of it. I think that's how it interprets the scene. -
Day length vs light intensity
StringJunky replied to Moontanman's topic in Ecology and the Environment
If you want to build a house, what's the advantage of moulding your bricks first, is my thought. Also people only have so many hours of free time. Better to spend it on what you want to do. -
As soon as I saw it I belly laughed. It's also nice that it isn't nasty.

Artificial Consciousness Is Impossible

You are a sufficiently convincing copy is the most I can determine as to your compatibility with human identifiers, looking at your behaviour from my PC. It doesn't matter because there are people
