Fucking FINALLY.

I am a professional photographer & videographer by trade. I bought a 13 Pro Max mainly for the 26-28 hour battery life. BESIDES battery life alone, I literally can't think of 1 solid reason that there wasn't anything I couldn't do on my pro max that I could do on a regular model.

​

Emails? Check

Social Media? Check

Actual photography & editing needs? Why would I edit on an app on my tiny ass screen, when I have the full adobe suite with me and my ACTUAL camera?

If I'm using my tools for serious work, I am going to be using the proper & right tools for the job.

Yes, the difference is, If I make an AI with X Goal and end it's training phase.

It isn't going to deviate from that in order to enrich itself and it's friends.

I did, which is why I know the Sauds were very happy with Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war and then relations deteriorated rapidly after with borders being closed, embassies removed on both side when Saddam turned on Kuwait next. It's almost like the Sauds no longer trusted Saddam to do their bidding and wanted him gone with a puppet government in place. What exactly happened again?

Maybe read up yourself.

Yes we outfitted our refineries back in the early 80s to move towards the production of heavy-sour which at the time seemed to be what the world would be mostly producing. All that easy to suck up light-sweet was already sucked up so the theory went.

Now our refineries like to have a decent amount of heavy sour added to their feed to operate at peak efficiency. Over the last decade fracking has started to produce just insane amounts of oil in the US. But because most of it is light sweet oil it sells for a high price internationally to countries that didn't invest so heavily into refining heavy sour.

This doesn't mean that we aren't using the oil being produced here... And there are plants being put up in LA specifically to refine the lighter oil.

My dude, what green revolution? All evidence points out that the people actually in control of the situation intend to ride things out to an environmental apocalypse. The 1% are convinced that they can ride it out comfortably until after they or anyone they care about dies peacefully in a pile of hookers and blow.
