I’m sure they are also pretty effective for people with more nefarious uses for them.

He’s just mad he’s not getting a cut.

Yes, what we call the speed of light is really the speed of light in a vacuum. When light passes through a medium like water or glass it travels slower. That causes the light to be refracted which means that it changes direction slightly based on the energy of the light (color) and the refractory index the material. Glass will refract a red laser by a certain amount while water will refract it by a different amount.

Fun fact, because different colors refract differently, when you shine a white light through a specially shaped piece of glass called a prism, you will see a rainbow pattern.

That would be nice. That way if Trump kicks in office we’ll have our first female president and she’ll be perfect for the GOP.

“The most pressing problem is not that they’re [AI] going to take our jobs, not that they’re going to change warfare, but that they’re going to destroy human trust. They’re going to move us into a world where you can’t tell truth from falsehood. You don’t know who to trust. Trust turns out to be one of the most important features of civilization, and we are now at great risk of destroying the links of trust that have made civilization possible.” - Daniel C. Dennett

In a few years you will not know what is true or false unless you see it in person with your own eyes. Even video and audio proof are going by the wayside.

No they wouldn’t. Upper management wouldn’t know where or if you were buried. They wouldn’t even notice you were gone except for the single line item in the accounting ledger showing where the dead-peasant policy payout was entered.

Some pig in Florida emptied his gun into a neighborhood…

No, its’ better than that. He emptied it into his own squad car. And in a real tribute to his training, he never even hit the handcuffed suspect he had inside the squad car.

“I’m hit! I’m hit!”

Damn straight. If you go to Wisconsin and try to pass off any of that Kraft, individually-wrapped, processed cheese product as actual cheese, you may just get your ass kicked. It’d be like trying to pass off the piss they drink in Wisconsin as beer to a German.
