“Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f---ing hotels full of the b-----ds for all I care, while you’re at it take the treacherous government and politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing what these families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist so be it.”

Yup, fuck her. Rot, you racist, insurrectionist sack of useless Tory shit. Of course The Telegraph puts this spin on it.

Of some note is that the market was only allowed to tumble for two of those five days following the announcement of the tariffs. That almost assuredly makes a difference here.

This exactly. You need a reliable source of fuel for the baseline, which is where nuclear energy can supplant fossil fuels instead of or in addition to relying on batteries.

Huh? Modern nuclear power plants automatically stop the reaction. In addition to other safety features monitoring things like temperature, radiation, etc. for automatic shutoff, the rods are held in place via electromagnetism. In the event of a power loss, the reaction will stop because the rods fall out of place. (This may just be one type; other modern reactors have ways of automatically stopping the reaction in the event of a power loss.)

ODT supremacy.

I hope this pressure leads to just getting rid of algorithms altogether.

And other things spoken by someone who never learned what an algorithm is.

Scratch a neoliberal...

In all seriousness, capitalism is exactly why we're here right now. (That said, technocrit is an idiot with some of the dumbest takes on this site. They blanket basically everything as fascist/fascism-adjacent, and I'm not going to say The Economist promoted this, because they didn't.)

Not only that, but we make it goddamn trivial for not just Wikipedia but for other Wikimedia projects. Doing this is just stealing without attribution and share-alike like the CC BY-SA 4.0 license demands and then on top of that kicking down the ladder for people who actually want to use Wikimedia and not the hallucinatory slop they're trying to supplant it with. LLM companies have caused incalculable damage to critical thinking, the open web, the copyleft movement, and the climate.

Is your source that you made it the fuck up? The medieval book compares it to lasagne, but there's no evidence the authors went to Italy for this. If you're referring to the so-called first modern recipe, Elizabeth Raffald never went to Italy.

You're calling it sans evidence the result of a Grand Tour, which would've been centuries before its time to be recorded in the late 1300s.
