Habeas corpus called & would like to be thawed from deep freeze.
The presumption of innocence in American society died a long time ago, with Gitmo, CIA black sites & NSLs. What little was still left, is being killed every day with asylum seeker kids being abused in border ‘shelters’.
Long live habeas corpus & the American conscience.
1. I am glad that 737 MAX has been grounded. May it stay that way, globally, until this issue is provably resolved.
2. The entire Boeing chain of management that resulted in these crashes should be publicly flogged, their remuneration & benefits clawed back & subject to a mandatory minimum prison sentence.
Who the hell am I kidding! Neither is very likely to happen in the present day US. Carry on then, I guess. Just make sure to sign your Last Will & Testament before taking that next flight.
It’s thanks to crap like this & the total lack of original innovation on the iPhone platform, that I am seriously considering the Samsung S10, after 8 years of exclusive iPhone use.
Post-Jobs Apple is over & done for. They are in “rent collection” mode now.
So long & thanks for all the fun. It was good while it lasted.
Going through the images, I shake my head in disbelief. So much of “art” is selling crap to the filthy rich, who have nothing better to do with their time or money.
Maybe, I don’t “get” it. To each their own, I guess.
There is a business opportunity here, so it only makes sense that someone is exploiting it.
Vision is an important part of my navigational ability, but I can (very rarely) sense location with eyes closed - eg. with eyes closed on a train/airplane being able to guess where I am on the journey (hard to explain, sorry).
I am not sure what to make of this. My spatial sense is immaculate - I can sense direction/orientation extremely well - I have near-perfect recall of "way to destination" - so much so that after having visited any previously unknown location once, I can navigate back to it years later without much effort.
Time, on the other hand, is a complete mystery to me - I can not tell if a few minutes have passed or hours. I am totally dependent on my clock and calendar to be a functional adult. Similarly, I have no sense of rhythm, beats etc. Nada, zilch, zero.
Makes sense though. If your herd is being attacked by a pack of wolves, as long as there is someone slower/weaker/dumber than you, they’ll become the target and your likelihood of staying alive goes up.
TLDR: don’t be last, second to last is still OK. I guess.
Is there a “Delete Account” feature here? How do I go about deleting my account, including ALL my comments/submissions over the last 10 years.
I want to leave absolutely ZERO footprint on HN. As if I was never ever here. How do I make it happen?
Thank you.
