My brother works in industry and has hired lots of Veterans. From what he says, the military tends to have paradigms that don't translate well to civilian work - like electricians. So I'd assume 'vets who code' have Perl

It's more efficient because you introduce a middleman and ignore pesky regulations. Thank god we've discovered this important thing that's never existed in history and created so much wealth exploiting this very new technolog

People adapt very easily. If you were trapped on a mountain, you'd likely butcher a cow with the rest of your soccer team. Don't judge everything through the lens of plenty. If you're American, it might be an exercise that be

Yeah, the random memecoins he issued and the NFC trading cards were meaningless to him. He's only invested in Truth Social and The Constitution. That's why he's in such competition with the owner of Twitter and would never un

I'm sure all those billionaires who paid Trump the $1m to grin behind him are dreading the impact on their groceries and upward mobility like the rest of us. Never forget that Trump and Bezos and Zuckerberg truly think of us first and

Because they're wealthy enough to have separation between their 'existence' money and their 'power and status' money. Tank the country and they get to own a little sliver more of it. The cheese and clothes they buy

It's a shame there's not just an embedded applet. Those were always popular on MU*'s websites in the 2000s. Shame that's not an automatic add.

I'm sure you'd be annoyed if poor people couldn't buy or use brushes, and their quality of live would decrease. Amusing that 'plastic=wasteful purchase" de facto in your mind (for the purposes of this thread)

MUDs were fun because, as a kid who read various magical fantasy series, there would inevitably be a server that was spun up attempting to recreate the world and magic system. Because it was just text, it made it far easier to do fan works

It's much easier if you invest in observing the natural world that has had hundreds of millions of years to do the work, without the limitation of human intention.

But if we represent it as a percentage we can pretend it's relatively not a big deal and minimize their stranglehold on society.

Yeah, corporations are great because we have little other choice. And, soon, we'll have no other choice! Because they're the only reason free software exists, according to my Excel spread.

But what if businesses got benefits from society and tax money and were free to ignore the needs/desires of those who pay taxes and who society consists of? That seems just about right.

That's a fascinatingly obvious idea and I'd like to see data that supports it. I assume there must be some.

Yeah, it's a bummer the clearly defined statement is so overly detailed and abstracted. It's way easier to listen to some dude talk about going to a lot of Stooges shows barefoot and vaguely talk about some random vinyl being &#x2

> Democrats tend to be authoritarian and pro-centralization of power. > Republicans tend to be anti-authoritarian and pro-decentralization. I can't imagine a time that this would have been true in my life. Dems are pro-regulation

A proton weighs ~10^-27 kg, so that's about 100 protons. I sincerely doubt we have masses that are quite that good - especially that which can take a high mass item (harddrive) and detect an atomic-scale change without being hideously

Yeah, that's kinda how it works. If you're lucky you publish 2 - 3 papers in your PhD career along a similar topic. Stick those in and coheretize them with an introduction and a conclusion. Those whose fields are less productive o
