@Vini7009J @Number10cat @RobKenyonReform @antmiddleton Plenty of veterans have PTSD. Plenty of veterans don't assault women.

@Number10cat @RobKenyonReform @antmiddleton You're mentioning his likely PTSD & alcohol-fuelled rage after leaving the SBS... He did his duty, doing four years as point man & as a sniper in two tours of Afghanistan. Also, he found out that he wasn't allowed to make much money for his family in the country that he served.😠

Great to have the endorsement of one of my heroes @antmiddleton

@Ajaon_of_All Hard work tips the odds, but luck exists nonetheless. You're not "making" luck. You're changing the odds before the dice are rolled.

The £300 is a relatable figure people can identify with, it's also true, starting conditions are relevant to the QT's statement. You make your own " luck" There is no good luck or bad luck, life happens you either rise to the challenge or try to tear others around you down to make yourself feel better.. Work hard, be good.

I am 53yrs old, I emigrated to the UK 26yrs ago with £300 and no job.. I also started working when I was 15. I have all those things you lack. Imagine being that feeble minded that you think you are owed something in life and because someone else did better than you, and that's a bad thing? You are a sum of all your choices, good or bad. Elon chose well, you apparently did not.

@Ajaon_of_All We've both worked hard. We've both had luck. Ignoring the role of either one is self-deception. I wish you and your family well.

@DodeDahroug Lol.. word salad trying to justify your narrative.. I'll keep my hard work feeding my family, you enjoy your luck feeding yours 👍🏻

@Anjuana55 @Ajaon_of_All Exactly: hard work tips the odds, but luck exists nonetheless.

@Ajaon_of_All Your shows that hard work can sometimes overcome bad luck, not that it is irrelevant You mention arriving with £300 and no job because you see starting conditions matter. That means circumstances matter. If those matter, then outcomes aren't just the result of individual choices

Born with opportunities.. oh wait, I was born in Rhodesia Country elected Terrorists as gvmnt Lost my home overnight became a refugee in SA Family worked hard to get back 20yrs Lost Country elected terrorists as gvmnt Lost my Home in South Africa Moved here with basically fuckall Now I put food on people's tables Take everything you said except health and toss it in the bin along with your sad story. All bollocks. Hard work pays off, luck is the sum of effort not a cosmic lottery.

@Ajaon_of_All Of course you're lucky. So am I. The mistake is thinking luck only means winning the lottery rather than being born with the opportunities, health, abilities and circumstances that allow hard work to pay off.

Hmmm.. Luck.. such an easy unquantifiable statement for those who've never made it to use.. Are you calling me lucky? I'm definitely not lucky, never won the Lotto or any competition, but I have won at life.. through hard work and making opportunities for myself through hard work.

@Nigel_Farage They punch you? I mean, I don't like what you stand for but that seems a bit much.

Every time I knock on doors, I am struck by the number of people who say Andy Burnham is using Makerfield as a stepping stone for his own career.

@JohnLeFevre "If these people weren't supportive of twats we'd like them." Yeah, pretty much.

If Melania wasn’t married to Trump, she’d be on every magazine cover as the most elegant, dignified First Lady in modern history. If Gwynne Shotwell didn’t work for Elon, she’d be universally celebrated as one of the greatest executives alive. The same people who worship “strong women” suddenly go blind when she stands next to the wrong man.

@darwintojesus By proposing measurable criteria for agency and testing whether natural processes can generate the same signatures.

I don’t see a single coherent answer to this question. I thought atheists love science?

@carebearkieran The US is the world's largest economy, dominant military power, a sporting superpower and home to a third of the world's Olympic medals. Yet there's a recurring subset of Americans who can't accept that there might be a field where other countries are simply better.

I agreed until you said the US team has some of the best athletes the country has to offer… Christian Pulisic is the best player we have and he’s not even half the ATHLETE Tyreek Hill is. The rest of the world is just lucky soccer isn’t our number 1 sport.

@ill_Scholar Interesting theory. The organisations that govern the sport for you - FIFA and CONCACAF (both of which the USA is a member of) - disagree.

No. We will not call soccer FOOTBALL. That is stupid. Rant thread 🧵about the history & cultural significance of the name of the Beautiful Game SOCCER is fine. You know what we mean. USE THIS AGAINST SNOBBY EUROPEANS First of all it is called football because it is played ON FOOT (as opposed to on horseback) NOT because you play it with your foot.

@darwintojesus If your test for design is "it looks designed to me", then how do you avoid false positives?

Question for atheists: If we find something that looks like it was caused by a mind, how do we scientifically or empirically determine that it is?

@PTrubey @GhettoCode Cooling in space is mechanically straightforward. Maintaining and repairing cooling systems in a crowded, debris-filled orbit is not. Operating cooling systems in polar regions is likely simpler even if the baseline mechanical complexity is higher.

Thing is, if you compare what it takes to cool a data center on earth compared to on a satellite, the earth based data center is much more complicated, uses more power and needs constant maintenance. Have you seen the giant pumps, water pipes and cooling towers used for terrestrial data centers? Versus having a passive sealed radiator. Space based cooling is SIMPLE.

Okay, I generally don't like dunking on stupid people because what's the point? But this guy's got a million followers on X and also a huge YouTube account. This is one of the dumbest posts I have ever read.

@3YearLetterman This sort of post takes a special kind of insecurity.

The British are in shambles that Europeans are learning this week that America is superior to the UK (England, Ireland, Scotland, and Whales) in every conceivable way

@MartinTweats @mahotank Equivocation. "Give" in that sentence means "cause", not "hand over". It's a common usage with cancer: cigarettes give you cancer; asbestos gives you cancer; radiation gives you cancer.

@mahotank In order for the sun to give someone cancer, it would have to emit cancer, as the cancer needs to get from the sun to the person.

The sun does not emit cancer. It contains no cancer, and thus it cannot emit cancer. It emits ultraviolet radiation, of which human skin sometimes reacts if the radiation damages DNA. It's not the sun giving cancer, it's human skin reacting to sunlight.

@StuartShrugged @VaibhavSisinty Maybe, but physics gets the final say.

@DodeDahroug @VaibhavSisinty Fair comment. I'm sure that Elon has a plan.

Okay this is genuinely insane. SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit. It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain. AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall. They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them. So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth. In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there. And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links." One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here. AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them. And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space. The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally. @SpaceX

@StuartShrugged @VaibhavSisinty It's not about temperature, it's about heat transfer. Space is absolutely wonderful for rejecting heat once you've built enormous radiators, but radiation is your only transfer mechanism. That's a lot of mass to get up there, and a lot of material to be hit by space debris.

@DodeDahroug @VaibhavSisinty Space is about 200C colder than the antarctic and a more friendly environment.

@blessedpeasant_ How do you know the probability distribution of possible universes? It's not very "fine" if it was the only option...

Why logical fallacies can’t touch fine-tuning. No fine-tuning = No atoms = No atheist hokum.
