Which is odd as that doesnt really guarantee one safety from Trump.

Heh, I can see a glossy doc about the First Lady being a hit among the Hello!/Vogue/Vanity Fair crowd. But Trump's presence is a huge turnoff for the same crowd, too.

Anyway, this is just protection money from Bezos.

That discovery is huge and it's right on rail lines, not remote.  I didn't realize Canada imports all the alumina for our smelters.

Last fall, Nvidia agreed to take a 100 billion$ stake in OpenAI, in exchange for them buying Nvidia chips (mostly).

That would have given OpenAI the cash it needs for about 1.5 years.

Now, Nvidia is reconsidering this investment.

In all fairness....nobody would probably go watch a documentary on Biden's wife either. That's the point, I guess, it is such a vanity project.

No, it's a grift project. About 20 or so million of Amazon's payment for the rights goes to Mrs. Trump

I am not sure she cares if anyone actually sees the movie

The reporting is pretty thin...the only thing I found said that they empaneled a grand jury to issue an arrest warrant.

I saw an article mention the 1994 FACE act which bans blocking access to abortion clinics and disrupting church services. I guess the question would be how much his reporting disrupted mass.

Not from Bauxite too. That's cool shit.

Yeah, it's the more environmentally clean version (in so far as mining and smelting goes) and it'll account for 1/3 of the worlds reserve of such a deposit.
