Yep. There most likely were multiple waves of emigration from Africa. It's just that the most recent one is the one that made the largest impression in the gene pool.

It's made for tinkering and learning. It's used for a lot more due to it being so easily replaceable. After all, I don't care if there are binary blobs from a trusted vendor for the device playing retro video games -- the TV

MOC will play mods as well as other audio, and since it can be controlled over the console, you can probably hook it up to a web page too, if you're prepared to tinker with it.

The one thing that could be done is to keep bloat to a minimum. It makes the web faster and less energy use is merely a bonus.

People from the Nordics had trade relations with Southern Europe and Asia all the way back in the bronze age. Alas, records are vague at best, but there's definitely reason to believe there was an influx of people and ideas from the Bl

Adding my voice to this argument: Xbox live stopped my pirating simply by providing a more easily accessible alternative and with prices that are competitive enough for me to prefer to pay for games rather than getting through the hassle of

Life, as we know it, only exists in one single known location in the Universe: Earth. If we assume life is abundant in the Universe, then we should be able to pick up signs of others, such as radio signals, or bio-indicators in other planet

Definitely not. There's probably no shortage of people promiting their own culture's demise either.

As a Swedish-speaking Finn, I can confirm that a culture can end up on the decline even if there's powerful legal backing to preserving it (including forcing the remaining ~90% of the population to learning Swedish in school). Incident

Yep. A common European first language would start a process which would result in a terrible loss of local cultural tradition. Cultural suicude for the common good has been suggested before, but I can't imagine that there would be a lo

Yep. It's too big to fail - even if Automattic goes belly-up the community would keep WordPress afloat for years.

The mastering of the newer generation of metal records is usually done for digital, and they don't really re-master anything for the vinyl release. Most new vinyls sound OK, but in most cases a record released in the late 70's or

The Norse had some blood from around the Black Sea according to some sources, so the explanation could be simpler.

Too much profanities stuffed in, to such an extent that the desire to provoke takes up any space that could have been used for some kind of artistic expression. Or something. The track is simply a waste of time.

Right here and now? Nowhere. In the next 2-3 years? Well, Belarus, Ukraine and several nations around the Caspian sea have some akward situations that might escalate into something big, especially now that U.S. focus is on domestic matters

As a rule of thumb, make sure the site works with Lynx. If it does, then you probably won't need anything but minor adjustments.

People have been making sexual references in song lyrics since the dawn of time, and that's perfectly fine. As mentioned in a sibling comment, it's not the explicit lyrics but the extremely low quality of the entire production tha

Precisely! "Conspiracy" requires a secretive element, whereas the media conglomerates are quite open with their goals to make everyone consume more media in order for them to make more money.

Oh, I don't have a problem with explicit lyrics and am perfectly well aware of sex' and love's statuses as the most common tropes in lyrics. It's just that this particular "song" is so horribly bad that I simpl

The music industry has never hidden that they manipulate listeners into consuming more and more media, so it's pretty much the opposite of a conspiracy. It's like saying the ad industry is conspiring to manipulate us into buying t

I got curious and listened to it, and after listening to that load of rubbish, I simply don't feel connected with society anymore. Do people actually listen to this and like it, or is it just the perceived shock value that counts?

I suddenly feel the need to build a Floppy-drive Walkman that plays mods and MIDI files on the inserted floppy.

The power lines were, to a large extent, built with U.S. money after the war. Many rural areas have seen little infrastructure investments since then. Anyway, if governments, businesses and individuals care enough then it's easy enough

You'd be surprised. In our household we pay for a sports streaming service and watch the occasional movie over Xbox video, but otherwise we don't use any other streaming service. Our friends have recommended over 200 hours worth o

It's partly a geopolitical thing. Chinese businesses control over 80% of the rare-earths market. Then there's pollution and the constant talk about exploitation of child workers in mines. You won't get pollution on Earth if a

Yeah, my experiences with Swedish unions is definitely a bit dated, but I guess SD's growth is messing things up a bit, especially in LO?
