Is this loss?

You’d need exactly two skyscrapers actually

We require additional desert power

Broadly, because the only way to get it was from other humans. Specifically, because a lot of other humans essentially went out of their way to give it to other people.

Setup a firewall with the minimum exposed ports, even on Linux. UFW is reasonable

Because it’s a prisoners dilemma. They don’t have the money to suddenly buy a billion Teslas and trillion solar panels so either they burn the coal they have because everyone else is too, or they just give up trying to become an advanced economy while everyone else keeps polluting.

In either case tens of millions of people die on the subcontinent, but in one of them at least they get to improve their economy.

Looks about right. Should be an AGM-114 though, ideally the one with the pop-out knives.

And she’s right. Can we listen to her instead of the braindead celebs?

Don’t use TikTok, don’t really care too much either way, but watching this whole thing unfold is starting to open my eyes to the ways these companies can shape public opinion.

They’re apparently sending notifications to people to contact their reps and it seems very likely that they’re promoting content that advocates against the ban.

I’m not a fan of censorship or blocking internet services but TikTok really seems to trying to make a good case for it.

Depends on your model. If you believe in the movies, yeah, but that’s not how the end of the world works. We’ve seen it with COVID, countless revolutions and wars, you’ll probably still get up and go to work during the apocalypse, it will just suck more. Being able to help yourself and your community get through it will be extremely helpful.

Realistically you don’t need a years worth of bucket food and a million rounds of ammo, this isn’t Oregon trail. Having knowledge and experience is far more valuable. Learn how to properly clean and store water, how to live/travel day to day without a car (you have a bike right?), go backpacking and camping, potentially learn how to avoid surveillance if you think things are getting kinda judgemental.

Make friends with your neighbors, people don’t actually become psychotic marauders when the power goes out. There are countless stories from hurricane Katrina where the police just assumed everyone would murder each other and ultimately got in the way of people just trying to help each other survive and rebuild.

It would be an insane mistake to underestimate that group. Like the other comments said, they are the Taliban and the military/police. However even if they somehow weren’t, it still means we have potentially tens of millions of domestic terrorists running around armed to the teeth and that’s not a great feeling.

Yeah I’m becoming increasingly nervous with the blue states systematically trying to disarm everyone and the red states are trying to whip everyone into a traitorous frenzy over the dumbest shit while arming everyone with a pulse.

Otoh, and this probably sounds absolutely fucking nuts, I’ve found republicans tend to understand “strength” and they are strangely respectful of liberal and leftist gun owners because that’s a dynamic they can comprehend. It’s not a good state of affairs but it’s better than them believing they can just run things because they’re the only ones with “strength”

Ok I hate all of this.

They’re not the same, but they’re kind of the same personality type. They frequently care about the same things, they just want very aggressive change to fix them. The issue is the path to get there and those are wildly different in terms of what the problem is and the underlying world view.

… Why does the sunflower oil factory have a plasma cutter?

This is celebrating home values skyrocketing and making people “feel rich” but that’s going to be one of the biggest antagonists to personal wealth growth for the lower 90% for the next decade. Literally nobody but the top 10% can transact in the housing market anymore and everyone will slowly be turned into renters if it continues to be a lucrative way to extract wealth from the masses.

Do not under any circumstances buy that ETF. She buys the stocks long before the ETF buys them so you’re literally just giving her money blindly by driving up her investments.

Wait until you see our tiny cox

Much of the operating system software on the switch is derived from older FOSS systems that existed before the GPL became widespread.

It very much should be open source, we just didn’t always have the tools to force assholes to keep the stuff we gave them open

nobody (other than mass shooters) needs to be walking around with 11+ bullets loaded

I’ll be ok with these laws when they apply to the police as well, but that’s not how this or any other bill has been written so far.
