Surely if you can track these ships to open waters, you could just seize one of them and tell the world exactly how much cocaine they contained. If you were confident in what it contained, it’s a no-brainer, everyone would back off and say “Well, it’s illegal to missile random boats, but the threat is real and their Intel is good so…”

I can only think of one reason they haven’t done this yet: They’re not actually that sure they’re drug shipments every time. There’s a good chance a number of those boats are just random civilian boats.

It’s wild that Steam is getting a class action lawsuit for charging 30% right now, and Apple doing shit like this at the same percentage and legally is getting a free pass.

For the record, the Fukashima disaster led to a number of new regulations that would have prevented the meltdown it had at a number of levels.

Excellent, I will catalog my journals of my metamorphosis into a giant worm on these.

This is a pretty great use case for AI. Instruction manuals exist for almost every product online, so models would be trained on them. Most tech is very similar to each other, so in the context of hardware repair, it should be a reasonable tool.
