Ahhh, I always forget about water. Even though that’s supposed to be the next east trigger (like Syria).

They also don’t have much of anything China needs. Penalty the biggest value is in keeping other powers busy dealing with Russia. After that maybe oil and gas? Birch wood a distant 3rd?

You know it’s in the sun when the side we can see isn’t, right?

I’m against the ccp’s bullshit as much as the next guy, but the hardest part of confirming it is that it’s always facing away from earth,so you need something orbiting the moon to communicate with it.

If it was slightly flexible, it’d be a good driving sim screen wrapped half way around the rig.

I started in 2006 web design & development, worked till 2019 when my company dissolved, 5 months before the pandemic.

I moved out of the city and I’m fixing rusty old cars for peanuts. It’s nice, but can still be stressful. Just in a totally different way.

Sure, but it’s relatively narrow compare to food distribution.

Possibly, I’m not sure how stealthy the F22 was to begin with. Possible if the baseline single radar signature is next to nothing, the 60,000 figure is easier to produce.

Milk from infected cows will be safe once pasteurized. Unfortunately, there appears to be pretty substantial overlap with “raw milk” drinkers, yoga moms, and anti-vaxxers.

Didn’t it just happen earlier in Asia too? This feels like a humanity problem that we could probably overcome if we had less sociopaths amongst us.

Getting ptsd from making gouache pallets in 100 level color theory class.

It’s a common problem with underfunded development. Though the lead devs make a big difference too.

And profiting from a foreign power that has sanctions against it in the EU (and US btw, I wish our state department could cancel his passport).

Humanity would probably have to eliminate psycho/sociopathic behavior. Something like 1% of humanity (much higher rate in billionaire and CEO populations, like 25%+).

Like you said, designing a system that prevents them from taking control without pretty draconian measures that are likely to catch many false positives (and still be evaded by skilled psycho/sociopaths) seems pretty difficult.

Maybe AI will be able to filter them out of the population, but that’s full of moral and ethical pitfalls too.

And colorful tape didn’t have to be political either. Banning shit like that, or pride, blm, or any other non-hate based messaging is fucking ridiculous.
