They must have limbs skilled enough to handle and construct this technology, a complex communication system, and a binocular vision system (for this reason the most used in all species) to perceive their environment. The humanoid shape is one that best fits these maxims and therefore it is quite possible that an advanced species would also have a more or less similar shape.

Elephants meet all of these criteria as well. A complex limb (their trunk), a complex communication, and binocular vision (although I don't see why this is necessary).

Trump has no goal other then self gratification and being the center of attention. Putin's goal is to destabilize the US and he's doing that by supporting Trump.

I wonder which LLM was used to generate this fever dream?

Hey now, the Waltons need some extra cash. Who could even get by on a measly four million dollars a hour in this economy?

Industrial ethanol? It is still just ethanol. It is not more poisonous because it is “industrial”.

By industrial alcohol, I meant ethanol intended for industrial purposes. And while it's just as safe as alcohol intended for human consumption it's usually much cheaper.

Finally, what is denatured alcohol even supposed to mean? Proteins can denature, but they are complex molecules. Alcohol cannot denature.

I looked in your profile and noticed some comments in German, so I guess this is how I find out "denatured alcohol" is a US centric term. In the United States denatured alcohol is a term for a high concentration ethanol mixed with enough methanol to make it poisonous (and maybe a few other things to make it even more unpalatable). It's usually used for fuel or a solvent. Just throw "denatured alcohol" into the search engine of your choice and it should spit out a few examples.

I've said this before but this has been the deal of the century for North Korea. Food, technology, weapons, money, all for some junky antique Cold War equipment and fielding what are probably their worst soldiers.

A miserable little pile of grifters! But enough talk... have at you!

Nope, they've been re-purposed into houses at this point. I actually lived in one... actually two now that I think of it.

I dunno, as I understand it getting enough methanol to kill from bad distilling is possible, but really easy to avoid. Even the most amateur distiller could avoid it... and they would probably avoid it since corpses are lousy repeat customers.

No, my guess would be is that someone in the supply chain was doing some minor fraud by adding some industrial ethanol and water to the the whisky. Add a bucks worth of industrial ethanol to a gallon of whiskey and boom, now you have two gallons of whiskey. It's gonna be mixed into drinks and sold to drunk tourists, and it probably tasted like crap to begin with, so who's gonna notice a slightly shittier flavor? Except this time somebody screwed up and got some de-natured alcohol rather then pure ethanol.

So... I'm gonna guess she's entangled with Gaetz various crimes in some way.

I'm guessing that while Trump picked him, the power('s) behind the throne quietly strongarmed him into withdrawing.

That's true about most of the conspiracy crowd. If you look at their ramblings there's a thick streak of envy running through them. They don't want to stop the shadowy individuals they believe run the world, they're angry that they're not one of them.

Well, I mean Trump is a former reality TV star so birds of a feather and all.

From this boot licking deepthroating article he was accused of molesting a 15 year old, the investigation ended with no charges filed and he lost his re-election campaign. He later filed a defamation suit against Connor Sheets, the man who wrote the articles about the food budget and statutory rape allegations. No idea how that turned out.

Seriously though, don't click the link unless you want to be mad. The author basically spends all his time going "Well it wasn't legally wrong so that makes it morally upright!" it is fucking fawning.

The donvict-humpers supposedly “win”, and then get even MORE angry. Why so angry?

Because we've stolen their martyrdom from them by losing.

Even assuming they have a AI detection program, I could probably shit out a 20-ish page "book" in under a week. The LLM could "learn" from the grammar free typo riddled stream of conscious book about how when you think about it trees are really living plumbing, and I get $2.5k

Ah okay, this is the 2018 story. I read the headline and was like "Again!?"

Could they though? From the looks of things the next Trump term is going to be Calvinball where only oligarchs get to make rules. If it cuts into the bottom line of some Trump crony, would it really be allowed?

Russia, such a superpower that it's scared of a video game.

The entire All Star series was unhinged.
