Reply to comment by Icy_Comparison148 in 5 die in small airplane crash in Little Rock by QJnWo4Life
The gusts of wind from the squall line that went through Little Rock at the time of the crash were strong enough to blow over a 50 pound door that I had leaned against a wall. I don’t understand why the pilot did not wait 15 minutes for the storm to pass. I imagine a Delta crew would have.

It’s a new kind of theft. You essentially take a writer’s work away when you replace it with AI non-writing created by grifters as another side hustle when the drop shipping thing didn’t pan out.

I could make a quick buck right now by stealing my neighbor’s amazon packages, but I don’t.

Reply to comment by whyenn in Lead Plates and Land Claims in North America and Europe: When did the practice begin of burying lead plates to establish ownership of land, and why did it die out, and was it ever used successfully in a court of law to establish ownership? by whyenn
I dunno. There is a LOT of old knowledge that no one has published on the internet and is found only in books.

The arrogance of many e-companies is astounding. Basically, “we write code so we’re above the law.”
We’ve seen financial barons running amuck before, in the industrial revolution. No one wins except the bankers and capitalists, but poor people love to think that maybe they too can be unimaginably wealthy.
