Could goats be the answer to combatting forest fires?Why not as we're using them here now for the same purpose as well as clearing out introduced weeds. ;-) You just have to make sure that the goats don't become ferals. |

Nun sues Fort Worth Catholic diocese after bishop accuses her of violating chastity vow Matthew Bobo, an attorney representing the nuns, said the accusations are “absolutely false and have no basis.” “Per canon law, he doesn’t have the authority to start an investigation or take any action. This is an independent religious organization which answers directly to the Pope,” Bobo said. |

Satanists Sue Chicago For Not Allowing Them To Say ‘Hail Satan’ At City Council Meetings They will affirm their testimony under penalty of perjury just like everyone else. The part you think is there, is not there. |

AI scanner used in hundreds of US schools misses knives Evolv's scanner missed 42% of large knives in 24 walk-throughs. There's an epidemic of schools buying new technology based on audacious marketing claims, then finding out it has hidden flaws, often millions of dollars later. Evolv is one of the worst offenders. School officials are not technical experts on weapons detection, and companies like Evolv profit from their ignorance. |

I bet the BLM'ers are hiding behind their sofas You gotta love lawyers & their dumb stupidity. Lee Sergent, in mitigation, said O'Garro had apologised to the family. How did he gain entry? |

I've had a thought about Artificial Intelligence, and the rash of AI bots and applications. We're talking about them as a 'thing', but I think we ought to be talking about them as a 'process'. We're told that the ones that generate text - whether factual or fiction - are 'trained' by being given vast numbers of texts - the contents of the world's libraries. But who chooses the training texts? At the moment, probably mostly human researchers, but you can bet your bottom dollar that in a year or to, AI bots will be choosing the training texts for the next iteration of AI bots. And for the time being, most of the library books were written by humans. But over time, the libraries will start to include texts created by AI bots. And for the generation after that, AI bots will be selecting training texts written by AI bots. I'm not sure I like the sound of that. It'll need more than regulation. |

Shouldn't the FBI be investigating this human trafficking by now? Migrants say Florida contractors pushed to get them to board planes to California. |

The big boy was proved to be a mongrel lowlife and is now the focus of a new probe into his conduct. Andrew Hastie breaks silence on defence's 'toxic culture' after Ben Roberts-Smith verdict. I hope that he pays well for his war crimes. |

PricewaterhouseCoopers is caught out yet again with its fingers in 2 pies at once. So much for a so called "Trusted" company. PwC acquired stake in Top Education Group while consulting to Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency. That's twice now that they've been caught out double dipping the system, will there be anymore incidents of this type to come? |

I find it very telling when the "Law and Order" party attacks law and order. https://apnews.com/article/trump-indictment-mccarthy-greene-congress-republicans-5173846881f090098a511b0dde9100a9 Could it be they are for it only when the law is used against their opponents and never when it is used against themselves? Interesting how they moan the law isn't blind. There is a saying: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." |
