And the higher prices of food mean more poor people will starve to death. Oil is not only an input in creating fertilizer, but just about everything else that goes into getting calories on to your plate. For a great summary of all of this

By Friday afternoon I feel sick. I'm wondering if this explains why.

The video is mostly of the upper classes and military. Looks nice but I'm pretty certain I'd prefer to live now. I'm actually from n Ireland but live in the Scotland. The class system is definitely a lot more noticeable here

I get the feeling that this is people over hyping their field to boost their own status. It's amazing technology, but I doubt there's any emergency here. In another way this reminds me of Roark's court room speech in the foun

You might have a point here, maybe the era of cheap money funded this nonsense.

"...suggests that if the world invested in a “Giant Leap” to reduce poverty and inequality, the world population would peak at around 8.5 billion people in 2040 and decline to 6 billion by the end of the century." Like a great lea

Pretty much the same as me. Windows hardware support is really great, Linux is always a hassle for me. I've tried and tried with Linux, but I've given up on it as my primary desktop

They have free markets and businesses, doesn't sound like a socialist system to me.

How many times do we have to try socialism before we're convinced it doesn't work? Or maybe you mean something like Nordic countries that are capitalist but tax more heavily and redistribute wealth more?

This is exactly what my employer is doing, they pay so that our internal data (from employee queries) does not become part of the model. They've blocked the public chat gpt etc.

I've been playing quite a bit of Goldeneye on retro arch same for 1080 and waverace, the higher res helps, but I think they are still great games that I don't think have been matched since :( I've an everdrive and an n64, but

Mario 64 has 209 mario animations. I think this is probably the reason other 3d platformers at the time felt stiff in comparison. Also they realised at some point in development that mario just wasn't fun to control so they put a lot o

Everyone I grew up with was underage drinking none of these things you've listed happened to anyone I know. Regulating parties might be one way to lessen the chances. But I'm not sure that price is worth it.

I loved it, thought it was hilarious. Though to be fair I'm from Ireland, and I can see that the comedy might not translate well much further a field than Ireland or the UK.

That's really scary. It's been a long time since any of my friends did coke, not sure would have put them off, maybe it would.

I'm not sure why there is an assumption that the health care is good in Portugal. Purely annecdotal, the only Portuguese person I know moved to UK to work as a cleaner. She couldn't find work in Portugal that would pay enough to a

Am I the only person who hates feature flags? We're doing it so we can do trunk based Dev. It's ridiculous, it makes every feature so much more complicated. All for the sake of not managing some branches.
