Major EU Offshores law coming (e.g. Panama papers are from 2016, buttcoin also started going then)…but it was also the time that the "rest of the world"TM reached more than 50% web penetration…lots of things happened then to create the incentive and make possible the then new tools of manipulation to subvert elections.
Most people are not proud of their own turds…most…
2·9 days agoOMG Sealab II (62m deep) was supplied by a mfing dolphin called Tuffy 🥲 the world needs more of this!
Edit: the lesson of sealab3 is that 100+m habitats are harder to build and maintain than the ISS, because the pressure difference is 10x larger.
No food in the upper atmosphere and all the way to space. I can guarantee we’d have space “whales” (overlords) if there were some kind of food up there (maybe just frozen spiders and bacteria). If life can adapt to pressures of 500atm, it can adapt to 0atm, gradually…if there’d be a food chain there to support it…but lower densities and/or residence times make minerals hard to come by…
Hah…maybe kessler syndrome will give the biosphere a way to reach space organically with a mineral substrate :3
'tis like watching a tennis match between a frog and a tree
I didnt know social spiders already existed, reminded me of this 2002 BBC speculative documentary: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0kGtDyuXMDU where the last mammals are hamsters that communal spider society herds :D
Oh look, that cheap hydro aluminium just found somewhere to go! :D thank you daddy tramp
Can anyone convince trump to jump off a ledge to own the libs? Easiest way to get rid of fascists everywhere, since they are such good boys.

But wikipedia is more valuable than all the LLM slop machines combined.
You need ground rules and objectives to reach any desired result. E.g. a court, an academic conference, a comedy club, etc. Online discussions would have to happen under very specific constraints and reach enough interested and qualified people to produce meaningful content…
The US and China are not equivalent in this. The UK is not neutral ground like Brazil or India where I agree that both need to be equally represented as opposite poles to balance.
Because it’s already built and the UK depends on the US militarily. China should not be given a chance to do the same.
PS: but it’s very easy, China can ask Moscow to build one there and I’m sure they’ll agree.
Just no more mega-embassies. That’s all, everyone knows what it means, it’s bad enough when a friend does it.
What duplicity? If you are not my ally, why should I let you do whatever you want on my turf? It makes no sense. You just sound like a 5-year-old trying to “it’s not fair” guilt people into allowing you to build another mega-embassy, which you already admitted is a bad thing for an ally to do, so it will be worse for an adversary.
So? The only person talking about the USA is you.
It’s how badass killer whales are made!
