Nice proof there?
Wray initially came out saying it was still unclear if Trump was hit. After investigation it was concluded he was.
I cited sources and showed evidence, you haven't shown anything. Either find some proof for your assertions or admit you were wrong.
There was nothing in between Crooks and Trump that was hit and could have launched shrapnel at Trump. And it's hilarious to think the USSS "hip-checked" him when we have clear photo evidence of two skin-grazings on his ear.
No, this is not the case. The alternative for on-demand is batteries, not nuclear. Building sufficient battery capacity is often already cheaper than nuclear and by the time a nuclear reactor is finished building it's guaranteed to be much cheaper. Nuclear is also terrible at being on-demand: it's extremely expensive to shut off and restart, and pretty slow at it too. That means that it has to compete with cheap renewable energy at peak hours, which it easily loses. So you'd either have to subsidize it to keep it open, or force people to buy nuclear power which makes power more expensive (see France which has to subsidize the reactors, requires people to buy that power and as a result is constantly having to subsidize the people's electricity bills too, covering a part of it. It costs the French government billions every year).
Nuclear also doesn't help to get you off coal and gas quickly. It's extremely slow to adopt.
Economic considerations are important. If you get can 1MW of clean power for X money, or 2MW instead, which is best to use? Less money spent per green MW means more green MWs in total.
For the environment, it's likely best (eg lowest total emissions) to invest in renewables and storage, and to fill up the gaps during this adoption with gas. Gas is not great but it's much better than coal, it's great at on-demand scaling and it's pretty cheap. This frees up enough money to keep investing in renewables which accelerates adoption.
The point is that no sane company touches nuclear with a ten-mile pole unless heavily subsidised, because it's economically very challenging (if not impossible) to get it to run at a profit. It's essentially a big money sink that also produces power.
Whereas alternatives, like renewables, cost a lot less and have a much more immediate return. It's why companies do like to invest in those.
Nuclear as an option is badly outclassed economically.

FBI also confirmed the bullet lightly grazed him: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/07/30/congress/no-doubt-trump-was-hit-by-bullet-00171861
(Paywalled) NYT analysis also suggests it was a bullet: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/26/us/politics/trump-shooter-bullet-trajectory-ear.html
Independent forensic experts also weighed in stating it's extremely unlikely it wasn't a bullet:
Diaczuk echoed the Timesβ findings, pointing out that there were no objects between Crooks and Trump that logically could have created flying debris, and that the podium and seats behind Trump happened to be positioned in such a way that the laws of physics made it unlikely he was hit by a fragment of either, he told The Independent.
Do you have any evidence that shows where the supposed glass shrapnel came from? I understand not liking Trump (I detest him too), but come on. It was an assassination attempt, he was very lightly grazed by the bullet.
You exist in the brain, which is ruled by physical processes. Not sure what citations you need for that.

I was confused because I've had this on my phone for years now.
That doesn't matter for these folks, they'll just call him a "self-hating jew".
The graph on the left demonstrates how employment rate influences inflation (and vice versa). The graph on the right is a historical account of inflation and unemployment in the US, which is not the same thing.
The graph on the right is subject to a lot more variables. The one on the left is also a simplified model. It's not really one to one.
IIRC this was debunked, there's image of the bullet trail going past his ear. There was also no screen nearby that launched shrapnel in his direction iirc.
Why is it better? It's just a number, only the starting point is different. But it still seems arbitrary.
Why is the accent on Jesus so problematic? I'm no fan of religion either but I'm also not bothered by it. It's a starting point a lot of existing literature uses, so switching that seems... Unnecessary perhaps?
Sure, but surely it knows that that unicode is the flag of Chad, and surely it's read articles about the similarities between the two flags?
So you're using an uncommon calendar, and then made a unique variation on it? How does that help communicate what you mean?
That algo does require more additions though, so depending on the input it's actually slower. But it is still a neat discovery and it does highlight that there exists sufficient potential here.
Grok didn't seem to get why he wrote the flag of Chad though. I wonder if any other LLMs know the answer to that.
Goldilocks no?
What actions on Gaza has the Trump regime taken that are demonstrably worse than what the Biden administration allowed?
I often see this question asked, and I wonder if those asking have been asleep the past few months?
Under Biden:
- Israel was still negotiating with Hamas for a ceasefire and release of hostages. A ceasefire deal was even reached.
- Israel limited the amount of occupation zones at the request of the Biden administration.
- Mass deportations weren't being planned (at least not openly, and not by the US).
- Israel reduced but still allowed some foreign aid.
Under Trump:
- Israel broke the ceasefire and resumed hostilities with even greater military force.
- Is creating very large occupation zones and "kill zones" where Palestinians are forced to leave.
- Is openly planning mass deportations and ethnic cleansing, in collaboration with the US.
- Israel has blocked foreign aid completely.
As a result people now face mass starvation and the prospect of being fully ethnically cleansed.
I understand Biden was extremely disappointing. I thought he was too. But we shouldn't kid ourselves that he was in any way equally bad as Trump has been. And given what Trump and Israel have been saying, the worst is likely to come.
