mmustapic··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
No, they started the engagement. What's wrong with trying to help somebody pushed to the street? Or are you recommending just letting police push people with cell phones to the ground and pepper spray them, unless you want to be shot dead?
mmustapic··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
You should watch the video, the police are the ones who engaged physically: pushed Pretti, pepper sprayed him, dragged him on to the street, hit him on the head repeatedly, and then got scared and shot. You can protest wherever you like that's legal. If police cannot handle that (start fights and then get scared and shoot) they shouldn't be police. Also, it is absolutely legal to follow police around. It doesn't make sense to make something legal while justifying getting shot for it (unless you want to make it illegal eventually).

So, if you carry a gun and the police approaches you, better to shoot them?
mmustapic··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
Oh man, so the police can just jump on you and get scared because you are grabbing a phone, and shoot you? Good luck with your life, you'll need it.

Or better, so that you can think about. Pretti was standing there filming. What should have he done to "obey"? What was his mistake before they pushed him? Before they sprayed him? Before they dragged him to the ground, back to the street? Before they hit him in the head? What should have he done to prevent being shot?

What order was he disobeying? They pepper sprayed him and dragged him to the flor, he didn't have a gun in his hands, no danger at all, so why shoot him? He wasn't grabbing anything, you see his hands are free in the video.

And not behaving peacefully (who would when you are pepper sprayed and are hitting you in the head) shouldn't (in a decent country) be a reason to be shot.

He didn't have a gun when he was shot, what are you talking about? He didn't even have a gun in his hand. Or you mean that you can accidentally shoot somebody who had a gun, at some point in the past?
mmustapic··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
They were not accidents. No one accidentally draws, aims a gun and shoots. If that whole sequence is accidental, that person shouldn't be in charge of a weapon.

Carrying a gun, or fleeing, is not punishable by death. In any decent country, of course.

I get it. If you are travelling in a high speed boat with 55 gallon drums then you get executed, for the crime of travelling in a high speed boat with 55 gallon drums.
mmustapic··on A supersonic engine core makes the perfect power turbine
I'm very glad Boom has to pivot to AI data centers: this means their main objective (building a supersonic plane) is in trouble, and they'll go broke soon.

Since the beginning they've been lying with green buzzwords or even "USD 100 in 4 hours to anywhere in the world". The reality is that the plane would be used by business and rich travelers burning more fuel just to save a couple of hours. Flying slower if always going to be cheaper and more efficient (unless they are working on a new technology, but they aren't). They even have the audacity to applaud themselves with the phrase "the first completely private supersonic plane", with a picture of their demonstrator beside a supersonic chase plane from the 60s.

mmustapic··on Homeschooling hits record numbers
The person who you are replying to is stating a different implication: hates homeschooling -> was homeschooled

You are saying: was homeschooled -> likes it and will do the same with his/her kids

mmustapic··on Blue Origin lands New Glenn rocket booster on second try
The cultural friction is not a real issue except for the extreme right. The real issues are the same as everywhere: standard of living is going down for younger people while wealth is being concentrated in fewer individuals. Those wealthy individuals are the ones who benefit from promoting this immigration/cultural friction theory.

Sure, in Germany during the 30s and 40s. After it, I'm pretty sure none did it like Musk. Feel free to post the clips.

There's nothing humanitarian in building weapons for the nazi cause, even if they didn't kill people at the time. The nazi project itself planned (and executed) for the elimination of millions, and Von Braun was involved in it.

I said the same, jew-only rasds don’t exist, it’s Israeli-only roads, like the one you mention.

True, there are Israeli-only roads: https://www.btselem.org/publications/summaries/200408_forbid...

mmustapic··on New executive order puts all grants under political control
You can’t make an unbreakable system, or, at least, it’s very difficult.

The problem is that a big percentage of the population is ok with this, and in that case it doesn’t matter if it’s illegal or not. There is a reason why, even if allowed, governments didn’t do these kind of things: population didn’t want it.

mmustapic··on Musk-Trump dispute includes threats to SpaceX contracts
“ For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.”
mmustapic··on Curtis Yarvin's Plot Against America
No. In most countries there are laws restricting what parents can do.

On the other hand, nobody is proposing a father figure running a country, so I don't see the connection here.

mmustapic··on Curtis Yarvin's Plot Against America
The most amazing thing about Yarvis ideas, and the article itself, is that they clearly say that CEOs are antidemocratic autocrats. Why should this be accepted in a democratic society?
mmustapic··on Airlines are charging solo passengers higher fares than groups
> Traveling solo essentially costs double automatically because of lodging

Travelling with somebody else brings costs down. Hotel rooms have the same surface for single and double occupancy (in fact they are usually the same rooms!). Even if you remove the surface of one single bed, the room stays almost the same. So, it’s much cheaper for 2.

This is so stupid, we know LLMs are not good enough for deterministic calculations. Just by running it I sometimes get that 31232198731 is even.

This is why I rolled out my own version that uses my own MCP server to call bc.

Sure, it's lower, but still quite high, and definitely not zero.

Inflation is not zero. Last month it was 3.7% according to the government's statistics: https://x.com/INDECArgentina/status/1910770513158500394

For now, the anual inflation is 55.9% .

> This entire initiative is just smoke and mirrors from a goverment that sees economics as a series of financial tricks.

He promoted a meme coin as an "investment project" last February (that means, while being in office as the president). The coin obviously crashed, while he never explained why he promoted it or who told him about it.
