    And how did those three catch wind of the plans of a UT student organization?
  2. BrickHorn
    Thats what I’m saying. You’re fucked either way, Jay. Why not grow a pair and stand up for what’s right, rather than carry water for authoritarian shitbags?
  3. BrickHorn
    Or Hartzell could grow a pair and speak up in defense of his students.
  4. BrickHorn
    That message from Hartzell is fascist horseshit.

    New Texas state motto?

    And if there’s any group that uniformly opposes antisemites, it’s MAGA Republicans.

    My only regret is I have only one “fuck you” reaction emoji to give.
  8. BrickHorn
    Did he issue that today? Or is it just an empty platitude he previously uttered?
  9. BrickHorn
    Well that is certainly a surprising and unprecedented turn of events!
  10. BrickHorn
    Yikes.

    In recent years, I have grown more and more ashamed of my affiliation with the University of Texas. Today did not help.

    ‘Murica!

    I do agree that “feel-good pee pee sex” sounds pretty gay.
  14. BrickHorn
    Hamas flags are the new terrorist fist bump?

    What precisely do you think is going on? All accounts I’ve seen so far have indicated that the protests at Columbia, Yale, etc. have been peaceful.

    On a more global note, this movement has real potential to impact the election. College students should be Biden’s bread and butter. In 2020, exit polls showed Biden won 18-29 year olds at a clip of 60-36. And I found one pre-election poll that showed college students preferred Biden over Trump 70-18. But this Israel-Palestine issue could erode Biden’s support in this demographic. I doubt it would shift votes to Trump, but it might shift them to some whack job like Kennedy.

    Fuck that rollerfascist.

    User name checks out.

    Yeah I’m not talking about the practicality of the overall concept which, as I understand it, is to use idling EVs to provide computational capacity for AI. I'm asking specifically about the terminology he used. “Kilowatts” does not seem like an appropriate unit for computational capacity. Seems like that should be expressed in flops. But I’m not a computer engineer.

    I’m still trying to figure out what Musk is claiming here. Maybe it makes sense to CS/CE types. But it seems like he’s muddling power and computational capacity. In other words, that’s just fancy technobabble to say “Our cars have a battery and a computer and we can use those when they’re not being driven.”

    New Surly motto?

    The guy on the far right is the inventor of the big dick toilet and former acting attorney general of the United States.
  23. BrickHorn
    Well, I certainly hope it’s not yours.
  24. BrickHorn
    Oh you are still following the thread. I assumed you were busy or offline, since you hadn’t responded to my request that you explain your theory. But it seems you’re just ducking the question. So I’ll ask again: can you explain how “the origins of [the modern Israel-Palestine conflict] go back three millennia” (as you claimed in an earlier post)?
  25. BrickHorn
    You’re literally talking about ancient history. Things that happened over 1,000 years ago. The question isn’t whether those things happened; it’s whether they demonstrate a sustained conflict between Jews and Arabs of which the modern Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be understood as a mere continuation. That idea is ludicrous. It ignores the fact that the founders of Israel were European immigrants whose ancestors had lived outside the Levant (and thus had minimal to no contact with Arabs) for centuries, and the reasons those immigrants came in the first place. If you’re looking to explain the situation in Palestine as a consequence of conflict with a rival religious group, 20th Century Christians are far more relevant than 7th Century Muslims.
