Ah, so it’s the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, only more scientific.

Well, not living in America certainly makes it difficult to start friendships with African American people.

But all the black people I know are extremely annoyed at the automatic assumption that their culture is Africa American.

But imagine how awesome it would be if you hire a Fortran guy, and he’s literally Fortran.

When I was a kid, I had to reference several manuals and carefully assemble a double handful of parts in specific order to connect two computers to eachother. I’d have to fiddle with protocols and speeds and obscure features and traits to make the stars align. Transferring 200mb would be an overnight task. If I wanted to show pictures from my vacation on a big screen, I would have to have them printed on cellulose and insert them in tiny frames to project on a thick screen with a huge machine.

Yesterday, I went to a friend, pointed my phone at a magic symbolqr code and sent a full movie to their PC in a few minutes. Then I pushed a button to make the photographs on my phone appear on their TV.

I got (and still get) the vast majority of my Ukraine news from NCD memes…

If Russia and the west start shooting eachother, one of four things will happen.

1 - Russia grows a brain and backs down when they horribly lose a conventional war. (Unlikely, unless someone takes command authority away)

2 - Russia kept their nuclear arsenal up to date, and a tiny remnant.of humanity gets to enjoy the Stone Age again. It won’t hurt if you live in a city though.

3 - Only a tiny fraction of their nukes launch, and the west responds proportionally. A lot of people die, but at least we’ll fix global warming.

I just don’t get the thought process behind that action.

1 - I am a perfect being who can do no wrong.

2 - Someone says I do something bad, or that something I do isn’t perfect

3 - since I am perfect, they must be lying.

4 - there is no reason to lie other than pure evil.

5 - therefore everyone and anything that disagrees with me is the devil and must be destroyed.

Seems like an amazing system when you’re voting between a small number of parties, but the Dutch House elections had hundreds of individuals, with 20 districts with imperfect overlap off individuals. It would be completely incomprehensible for humans to check things.

I also suggest a front that won’t fall off

What’s the point of a flail if it doesn’t even give me a small advantage against shields?

And probably some severe bruising to the face, if not broken bones there too.

And this tiny little grip looks about big enough for a finger a half.

Especially in Australia, where there’s an insane amount of empty nothing to place wind turbines. Northern Australia gets twice as much solar irradiation as western Europe, it’s absolutely ideal for (rooftop) solar.

Economies of scale and “high density” power generation make sense for some places, but even a place with the population density of the Netherlands can cram in enough wind turbines to get a significant fraction of renewable energy. It should be a total no-brainer for Australia.

If you need to make your own replies, it’s obviously a pretty crappy film

Not every shield is strapped down. Though I agree this one is a bit big for just a center grip

Why make it hard on yourself when idiots self-select into an easy target audience?

My ethics and my mouth think it’s a great idea.

But I feel like my intestines would complain a LOT.

Ah, ideally yes.

When people work with hazardous materials, they hire me to make sure they do it safely or legally. I mostly work in waste handling, soil remediations and laboratories.

It’s pretty fun and interesting, but it’s been very bad for my enjoyment of homegrown food, swimming outdoors or going downwind of any industrial sites.

Welcome to the new Industrial Revolution, where one person can do the work of many. Sure, mass produced goodscontent aren’t as good as handmade artisanal products writing, but there’s a huge market for it.
