Attached to: Is Digital Banking the Wave of the Future?
Most people don't know, but all banks (in the US at least) use the same infrastructure to process and move money. When you look at your checking account and see transactions labeled, "pending", that means the money is still waiting to be processed by the Feds, in batch files, and likely in COBOL.

Ironically, that, âoeconman@, hasnâ(TM)t started any wars and has, in fact, been dialing back US interventions and bringing troops home.

Not to mention the dead people in Chaz, the cold blooded murder in Portland, the murder of Captain Dorn, etc.

Except this "idea" doesn't riot and murder cops in cold blood.
Because, why not? Karma on Slashdot is now a measure of Woke.

Looks like he just demonstrated that you can't read.
It was pretty clear that these estimates are from the World Health Organization. Further, estimating the total number of infections is far more difficult that counting the dead.
In either event, your argument is with the WHO.

One thing many consumers don't know is that the speed of cable is dependent on the distance from the junction.
A cable technician just recently informed me, while trouble shooting yet another fuck up with their lines, is that since I was over 8,000 feet from the junction, the best I could expect for speed is 3-5 mbps. Of course the main office was all ready to sell me 200 mbps access.

I just hope all these "people" running simulations are using robust PS devices and are conditioning the power.
And maybe they can restore everything back to Dec 2019 and we could lock down China instead of the world.

With the many drone type vehicles in development, it seems it would be a relatively simple task for some aerospace giant to design, certify and build something that would carry two people to perform the same task.
I get the impression that the technology is mature enough and reliable enough, but someone with the resources just need to jump in and make a splash.

"But who gets to decide" is a fundamental question relevant to all situations in which a message is suppressed or removed.
"reality and provable facts of the situation at hand." is often not actually proven.

Attached to: 26% of US Adults Get Their News From YouTube, Study Finds
Getting current news from Youtube is sketchy at best. But if you want to find in depth discussions of the news, there are plenty of channels that will provide it. These are the kind of discussions that don't fit in the Sunday morning shows or even NPR specials.
Example: Viva Frei

Who knows. It's almost like when they name drugs. For instance "Dibensolate!" for something.

I seem to recall that Aspartame was a mirror image of the sugar molecule that has the taste but the body can't metabolize it.
