Thanks

I’m having trouble translating how big your cabinet is …… given the list of equipment similar to yours (nas, switch, router, ports), how many mini-pc’s fit?

This is one of the things I don’t understand. They’re so intent on causing misery and destruction that it overrides their greed and lust for power.

Immigrants, documented and otherwise, are much more likely to be exploitable to maximize profit. Shouldn’t their greed, or that of their corporate masters, like immigration? Especially undocumented since we seem to push all the risk on the worker rather than the employer? Any motivated capitalist should love that

Seems like the approach we’re trying is to prevent people from not having kids they can’t care for, and prevent underage people from having the knowledge or medical support to not have kids when they are still kids

I’m more concerned about people wanting to use that to raise the retirement age.

1. They don’t understand averages. Reducing childhood deaths significantly raises average life expectancy by increasing the number of people who reach retirement ages, not by making them more able to work
2. Nothing forces people to retire at a specific age. I’m more concerned about being able to work long enough to afford retiring. “Retirement age” is 67 and I don’t expect to be able to work that long
3. Ageism is a thing. As I’m approaching 60, I understand I may never be able to get hired again in my field. This may be my last job, whether I want that or not, and regardless of what retirement age is
4. There is no such thing as retirement age in the us. There is only the age range at which social security will start paying out. That has nothing to do with how old you need to keep working, how old you can keep working, or how old you’re allowed to keep working

Until recently in the US the fertility rate was almost 2 and we made it up with immigration. Now we’re trying to be isolationist and the fertility rate is no longer almost 2

A worthy trade. Massachusetts has fewer guns than most and you’re welcome to all of them if you annex us. Boston has had hundreds of years of friendship with Halifax, especially, and we’re all for joining up

Does he even commit insider trading anymore? Once you accept outright bribes, laundered bitcoin, and shakedowns of both corps and other countries, insider trading seems like the hard way of doing things

Just goes to show Canada is the nicest place: despite all the bs we’re shoveling their way, they’re still acting as friends, trying to help us past our mental breakdown without harming the rest of us

While yes better intervention and mental health care is key …

Two teenage boys were seriously injured in the attack. Another person had minor injuries.

If it were a gun, it could have been mass murder. Gun control is not about preventing such attacks but reducing how bad they can get

Don’t remind me …. The doublespeak at my company …… we had to use GitHub for the built in AI, but couldn’t even evaluate GitLab’s AI because it costs extra

I really like coverage from @Whataboutit on YouTube, and Felix does include news about the Chinese space program …. And India …. And New Zealand

I still don’t see it. Sure it might be there isn higher quantities than earth. But that’s still a long way to go for any material. Plus how do you get it back? Riding a ship back is doubling the cost and no one wants an orbital bombardment device.

No mayter Elon Musks hyperbole, bringing things up and down earths gravity well will always be horrendously expensive nand I don’t see how you’d recover the cost

We need mining in space to support our space efforts. It’s the other side of the same issue: space presence is unsustainable because even basics like food and water become horrendously expensive when you need to bring them up from earths gravity well.

…… but if you can mine water, split it into oxygen and hydrogen, use regolith for at least the bulk of your shelter, figure out how to grow your own food, you’ve cut the cost of space exploration in half

So the concern is the part of the moon everyone cares about is tiny. Previously it was easy to give other countries plenty of distance to do whatever they were doing. However now there’s a strong focus on places that appear to have exposed water ice, which is only a few craters near the South Pole. Suddenly the moon is tiny and we might be working elbow to elbow

From a propaganda standpoint, it will allow China to declare that it has not just caught up to the United States but surpassed it as this century’s superpower.

It seems like half the articles I read on this claims that only one side thinks it’s a race. Only one side has pride on the line.

Yet just like everything else we’ve handed to China and Chinese companies over the last few decades, our own idiocy and lack of focus is at least as significant of a cause as their rising economic capability.

Take EVs. People complain about Chinese companies stealing intellectual property, but I see the car industry has been outsourcing more and more across decades, and legacy manufacturers seem to have entirely given up on competing. Sorry not buying the excuses when you seem to do everything you can to throw away what advantages you started with

Note that the top “ribbon “ is visible from all of those ribbon choices, while the content pane stuff, like the “About” box are only visible in “Code”

Comments like this are so frustrating to see, as my company goes backwards, moving from Gitlab to GitHub.

I imagine this is a provocation, but why would it involve military? This is a police matter. I don’t know Greenland’s law enforcement structure but there must be someone who can arrest every person who violates Greenland law, as well as cancelling whatever license they’re doing business as

It can’t be a military provocation if there’s no military, right? Even mango Mussolini wouldn’t respond with military to a police matter?

I’m sure I don’t know all the factors in the mid game of chicken but I’m looking forward to them discovering how far a presidential pardon goes in another country

Historically when people are desperate , die younger, they responded by having more children
