Exactly this. IQ tests are pseudo scientific nonsense.

It’s astrology for white supremacists.

The video starts with the statement “AI is huge and it’s only going to get bigger”

The grandparent comment was clearly trying to argue against that opening statement.

Sam was a ring bearer, though.

It looks like two planes in the background are making out.

I think people in general need some sort of mid-winter holiday. Especially near the winter solstice, people need a distraction and something to feel excited about.

Moreover, I think that’s all Christmas really is. Any religious connection it has is just a tenuous excuse to have a holiday; it’s widely accepted that Jesus would have been born in the spring, but if you give people an excuse to have a holiday they won’t nitpick it… they just want any excuse.

I think that’s also why there are so many holidays during the winter. People want to distract themselves from the weather and reduced sunlight.

I don’t think it’s ever been tested*, but arguably no, the president can’t pardon war crimes.

They can only pardon “offenses against the United States”.

A war crime isn’t just an offense against the United States but also a violation of international law.

So, a future administration could try to go after these people for the international law violations.

As others have noted, the chances of that actually happening are nil.

*Trump has pardoned war crimes, but no one has yet tried going after the war criminals for the international law violations they committed.

It doesn’t have to stop him. It just has to stop others from listening to him.

The targets of this executive are the states and the postal service, neither of which are bound by executive orders.

I.E. they have the full authority to ignore everything he says.

Not your fault. A lot of people worked very hard to make sure you had the wrong idea.

Sorry, but no, that's not right.

Your perception of Israel has done a complete 180.

Israel, however, hasn't changed. This is what it's always been.

Below 45

I.E. eligible for the draft until your 45th birthday.

EDIT: The special skills draft for health care professionals is up to 54.

I love this movie but I have no idea why you would need to see it in IMAX.

It’s asymmetric. The weapons you need to take out a swarm of drones are orders of magnitude more expensive (and complicated) than the drones.

So, any horde of such weapons cannot be replenished as quickly as the drones can.
