Unrealistic though because most people who ride horses aren’t as cool as Subcomandante Marcos

Go to a festival with corporate kiosks and grab a free pair.

The sign translates to “buffet”. Cafe is “kávézó”

No link?

Not always, usually it’s an evolutionary arms race though. Recent paper I thought was really cool suggests the initial jump from single to multicellular happened because of a snowball Earth which changed the water temperature and therefore viscosity, making larger size equate to more efficient swimming.

The problem is that we offloaded “world leadership” to a bunch of ultra-rich sociopaths who only care about their own profit maximization. And they then made actual profit obsolete, since the only product they produce now is hype in the service of inflationary speculative assets. From a planetary perspective it looks like the human species is committing suicide.

Don’t fall for the clickbait reporting here. Musk has a history of making comically exaggerated claims. There won’t be a million satellites just like there wasn’t a 4000 km/h train, self-driving tunnel network, intercontinental rocket transport or Mars colony.

Never suggested he didn’t. The average age of Trump voters skews over 50 though.

As much as I like to shit on AI, it has gotten rather poetic lately.

If you add that these bullies were given high-paying blue collar jobs, cheap houses, and wives to abuse freely, it’s no longer an analogy. The Trumpist boomers literally had this happen. When this system broke they reacted to it like the selfish, hateful idiots they are.

Defunding is perennial and global, even if it’s not a targetted action like in the US. Consider for example that in the last 25 years the number of PhDs doubled while the funding of the National Science Foundation stayed flat. In the EU the situation is better, with funding at least keeping pace with inflation, but national funding depends on the whims of the current ruling party (I’m in the Czech Repoublic btw where we just elected a right-wing billionaire). Even in the best case the average acceptance rate for a grant is 10 or 15%, but in my experience it’s lower.

As for lawyers being in charge, I mean what’s the degree you go get if you want to enter politics? In China it’s engineering. In the West, almost a third of politicians have law degrees even though the fraction of lawyers in society is much less than one percent.

Geologist here. It’s really depressing being in the community these days. We’re continually being defunded and we know better than most what a systemic crisis this planet’s ecosystem is in. For some reason we thought it was a good idea to put lawyers in charge of everything instead of experts.

Thanks!

So for a total novice could you elaborate on this? Like why a certain build is better for gaming?

So is Mint still the easiest distro? I think I’m switching for good this time.

Some of the terminology is from Dan Simmons’ Hyperion series.

I don’t really care about the history of it. I only care what Taiwanese people think now.

I’m really curious how you defend a statement like this. What do you think defines present reality for people?

How am I blaming Taiwan? They’re trying to survive like anyone else. What that looks like is dictated mostly by the US, which represents an existential threat to the rest of the world.

And somehow I get downvoted and you don’t. How symmetric.

I think it would be a lot easier for China to cooperate peacefully with countries it perceives within its sphere of influence if there wasn’t a hostile global military hegemon maintaining a bunch of military bases and naval fleets within striking distance.
