Wait, wouldn't public funds bias the news reports towards public benefit?

You can launder Bitcoin, and you can use unaffiliated bitcoin wallets.
I have a couple wallets that I've only ever accessed with VPN, and I can buy anonymous coins on one, transfer anonymously to the other, then swap for another type of coin and spend from there.
There are some gas fees and conversion costs, but vs jail I'd happily pay them.
But if you know the answer, are you not also logically the best person to ask?
Yeah, was pretty sure it was something like that...
I used AI to make a Home Alone themed digital Christmas card last year. It was completely PG. But it was a nightmare to do as I kept tripping over gates on account of Kevin being a child and Home Alone being a copyrighted property.
I went all the way to the dark end of the AI gen spectrum, to where kiddie porn abdolutely happens, but the product I produced there was unsatisfactory. So I went alI went back to the top players with all the gates and worked around them by reworking my prompts for what seemed like forever.
1 year earlier I would've gotten the results I wanted with my first prompt, maybe tweaking fonts for the words, fixing spelling errors, or making minor visual features. 5min tops.
It really turned me off from continuing to play with AI.
Those gates have gotten really nasty.
It's as though users are treated as guilty in advance and then denied the opportunity to prove themselves innocent.
Completely backwards attitude and practice.
Oh, Costco is in the stone ages still in a lot of ways, it's pretty unsettling sometimes. But also using tried and true methods and waiting decades to adopt modern tech saves a ton of cash... Which doesn't just benefit the stock holders when you're a company like Costco.
Go in in person on a weekday before 3pm and sign up at the service desk.
My grand pappy worked on parts used for those moon buggies. He was pretty knowledgeable about them and proud of his work.
Would be pretty shitty for him to have learned it was all staged.
He was a hard ass too, ex British Navy.
I don't think it wise to hire people like him to work on projects you intend to use to lie to and betray the public.
Pretty sure it'd be more cost effective and safer to just hire joe schmoe to work up some gadget in his garage, or to handle it in house. Why hire outside professionals and actually do the real work to just lie about the outcome.
But somebody else already mentioned another case that set up CU to succeed. Without that CU wouldn't be an issue.
There may have been more steps before too.
But really, initially, there were very early US cases that actually properly treated corps as property, not people. Even forcefully revoking their business charters when they were found to no longer be serving the community but harming it.
I don't understand how it could be law that corps had to be incorporated as legal entities, with the people's permission via the gov of the people, that for centuries their right to exist was utterly temporary and revokable, and that they were legally only treated as owned tools, but then recently courts decided they had personhood and human rights?
Seems like earlier precedent disagrees.
I have upgraded to USB-C headphones...
But, years ago I got a handful of USB-C to 3.5mm adapters as manufacturers were starting to discontinue the 3.5mm jacks by default.
I was of course used to needing a USB adapter for headphones because I had a RAZR v3 for many years, which I also used as an mp3 player. I believe it only had a micro USB port.
So, are they just gonna go through and retitle half their videos, or are they gonna add some filter to hide them by default in that region?
Someday people are gonna have to sue governments for the right to have and exercise their kinks, as long as it's consensual.
I was around 10.
I was just reading through a couple thousands of the financial statements and reports and scans from 10. Kinda interesting stuff seeing how millionaires manage their finances, private jets, and properties.
