When I have a new place, I'm building a nice blu ray collection. Can't go wrong with physical media.

A house, land, hobbies, an emergency fund in case needing time away from work, investments, nicer things, a stay-home wife, children, traveling, supporting loved ones, there are so many possible reasons.

Omnipotence just means being able to do whatever power can do. So it is incoherent to ask if God could make a square circle. The words don’t mean anything. God could make a burrito too hot for himself to eat. Then he could make himself capa

Subsidize produce too. The point of the subsidies is to normalize reliable access to food. Otherwise during low seasons, farmers would get wiped out and it would compromise food security.

Right, but the hall monitors don’t grant that benefit of the doubt to others in the first place. Otherwise what parent pointed out wouldn’t be the case.

Based on this Chat Control debacle, sounds like the people saying that have no idea what they’re talking about and should be encouraged to shut up or to be more precise and rigorous in their arguments lol

Why are EU citizens electing these types of politicians?

> There is no sense of officially voting on something if it is clear from previous negotiations that it will not pass. This means that it was implicitly voted upon and rejected by the people, therefore it should not be put up for a vote

That depends on how much more efficient solar panels get and what future energy requirements are, but in any case it'll be worse to scale energy creation with solar than with nuclear.

Getting only 1,000 times more than humans are using now but requiring 50% of the earth's surface seems like an awful deal. Not only do you need much more of the earth's surface, taking away from trees and habitats and other uses,

What would surface area needs be like for over-provisioning needs in the US? What if we want to scale energy production by 2x or 10x or 100x for advanced industrial and commercial usage needs in the future? I think then the solar panel appr

Should still maintain infrastructure for gas for the foreseeable future just in case of EMP. Coal too. That valuable knowledge should not be lost in case we ever need to go back to simpler ways as well.

How do you scale up to producing far more energy in that approach? What about the efficiency to produce large amounts of energy on large spacecraft and other planets and in the ocean?

Are there hvdc transmission lines already spanning those kinds of distances? How much raw material and upkeep does that require? If over-provisioning solar, how much more surface area would be needed to have the solar? Seems like the additi

Yeah, I think people looking at just the upfront cost are not really acknowledging or addressing that solar panel installations degrade faster than a nuclear reactor. They also take up more space and as you mentioned will likely end up caus

You have to show exuberance when demonstrating your brand loyalty, otherwise you’re not loyal enough to pass the ad. You’ll need to watch the entire reeducation, I mean ad, in that case.

Legislation could easily be crafted to block even contractor firms from circumventing the requirement. Either way, someone remoting in from abroad would have to get a visa. This will solve the problem. It's definitely coming, because t

That will change once legislation gets passed requiring remote workers who are not located in the same country to need to go through the work visa process. The outsourcers are shooting themselves in the foot. Once the law drops and they can

I do want it but I want it to be optional and preferably something built from source. That being said, it won’t be that hard for someone to build their own Recall with an onboard sandboxed LLM. That way users will benefit from the power and

The Constitutition itself supports that process of creating amendments. That is not anti-American.

In one sense you are right. But the spirit of the times at some institutions is not to be an American so you can make a better America. It's to foment violence and division and outrage even levied at the reliability and strength of the
