If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • I’ve heard that carbon is not necessarily the best basis for self replicating structures. Silicon is able to form a lot of similarly complex bonds that carbon is with a similar chain of reactions to our own. I don’t know if another life form from the ground up would even have diseases, although I guess cancer is pretty likely in any self replicating system due to cosmic rays. That would make it pretty hard to space travel though, one would expect their repair mechanisms to far excel beyond the durability of our own, which is actually pretty crap and easily confused with symmetrical DNA chains, excessive damage, repeating sequences, etc. There are other animals on earth that have better repair systems in place than us allowing them to live virtually forever, but none are mammals.

  • Pretty sure we’d have no communication with the alien that wasn’t just corrupt politicians trying to speak for us to get some sort of trade out of them to increase their own power. It’s too important for any/all normal people to have a voice, and then when the aliens dislike the abhorrent greed we’ll probably just suffer some how more than we already do. I’d say we’re better off not reporting any alien sightings. I would trust almost any human on earth more talking to aliens on my behalf than a so called leader currently. Maybe Ireland, Spain, a handful of others have better than regular Joe leaders, but it’s rare.



  • Kinda depends on all 3 devices. Some USB devices can have extremely high burst rates before they’re heat saturated or some have ssd’s built in that can nearly peg the bus speed. Slow spindisks would be in the range of 80 mb/s or so where fast ones like sata Exos drives would be nearly 300 mb/s and sas even faster, some even bursting to max out the bus speed with their cache. Another factor is the load itself. Random access data is incredibly slow on spindisks compared to virtually any USB device, meaning lots of small files are going to crawl compared to big ones. Bit locker and tpm could be slowing it down if it needs to decrypt which isn’t likely slowing the USB drives down.

    I think you’d get a better set of potential issues by being specific about the devices and interfaces.


  • It’s usually bots. Unfortunately it’s not easy to moderate them, but if a bot is reported, doesn’t have a bot flag, and says a bunch of pro-ai stuff in addition to the reported activity it’s usually enough evidence to ban. It’s just one of their current tells, I wouldn’t base a ban only on that though. Report when you suspect them though.
