For 28 billion you could offer it to half the population.

For a few million you could offer it to the correct people/algorithms and convince a majority of the people that it’s the other side who’s being paid off, and they’re coming for the minority (read majority) next.

It happened in the States.

Yeah, Coke and quarter miles.

Feels like “I live a half kilo at a time” would be excellent.

But receiving FM doesn’t matter. Tons of things can receive FM that don’t broadcast, like tooth fillings.

The concept of “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”

There’s no nuance from the left. The left polices itself like the radical right thinks they (the party of law and order) do.

Had a podcaster get dropped by their long time partner because there were lewd text messages sent.

I’m tired of the reactionary bullshit, currently Dawkins and Gaiman are being dropped, and I understand not wanting to associate/support Dawkins’ current views, the guy wrote very persuasive works that shouldn’t lose value because he lost his empathy.

I still read and enjoy enders game despite knowing what a tool Card turned into, how is it so difficult to separate art from the artist?

I wonder how much circuitry and use input would be required to make everything you need to launch a rocket from minimal buildings/chests/user input.

I feel like you could bring in the 6 resources (water oil iron copper coal and stone) and have a series of if/then’s changing the productions of assemblers, chemical labs and smelters (maybe science labs?) all the way past rocket

“streaming is worse than cable now” is it though?

I stream for weeks on end without a single ad, watching only what I want. I go to an older person’s house and I hear the same friggin commercial jingles, the same canned studio laughter, and shows that are designed for the stupidest common denominator.

I grew up in the era of Saturday morning cartoons. My brain was liquidified on cereal commercials. I won’t allow cable into my house under any circumstances.

But I do agree that we should learn from too easily replacing the working with the next big thing without any regulations on how the next big thing is allowed to operate
