Oh, that’s not even showing as a missing character, to me it just looks like 0.9

At least we agree 0.99… = 1

0.9 is most definitely not equal to 1

Not for a couple of decades he hasn’t, see Spaceballs the series or crazy history of the world part 2

2,5 tons seems extremely doable for even pretty simple ships.

And DNS issues

Well, we have 6 governments, does that count?

It refers to the annexes you see growing out of the back of the house. People used to (and sometimes still do) start with a modest house, and then as time went on and money came in, build out into the yard, adding a new kitchen, toilet, shed, veranda, etc.

It has since also come to refer to things that get extended and patched up over time without a lot of coherence or forethought, like our tax codes (they just add rules, bonuses, penalties, etc. on top of the baseline instead of doing a thorough tax reform)

This is Belgium, it’s a great example of what we call “koterijen”

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

A nuclear power plant doesn’t pollute either of those more than any other large building, and sure uranium mining is still mining, but renewables and battery storage also depend on raw mined materials.

As long as they don’t start building tunnels under their house because they’re an ‘engineer’…

It’s a fake ad created as a joke in Top Gear by Jeremy Clarkson

The 5000 refers to cars with bigger batteries than a 10.000 dollar car. Those might go down to 7 or 8 K, but new cars sold in Europe or the US will not likely go back down to below 15k. The necessary safety and environmental requirements, and minimum expectations on comfort, features and performance will likely keep prices relatively high-ish. Even the Citroën Ami is still 9k, and that’s a 2 person city car with low range, barely any features, and loads of cost cutting. Awesome car, though.

200 is on the high end, and not all of it needs to be desalinated

Unpopular opinion because it’s so recent, but I think Starfield is/will be in this category

I’m just an outsider, but it seems to me that in 2016, many people on the left/anarchist /socialist/liberal whatever weren’t enthusiastic about Clinton and didn’t vote or voted third party. This led to Trump winning and subsequently nominate enough Supreme Court justices to set back abortion rights 50 years among many other things that probably are worse than whatever Clinton could have done.

You can express your preferences in primaries, local elections, in movements to change voting laws, but once candidates in a first past the post system are locked in, it’s intentional ignorance to pretend like it won’t be one of the two major party candidates that will win, and not voting for one helps the other one. If you’re okay with that, fine, but don’t pretend that not voting is a neutral act. You’re giving away your voice to whoever is voting one of the two major candidates, and I assure you the right does not care about their candidate’s past or unsavory aspects.

That’s already what this one does

I’m gonna read that as ‘disemballed’, which just means they lose all their golf ballls

The problem with the Turing test and current AI is that we didn’t teach computers to think, we taught them to talk.

It’s an interesting discussion to have about consent/medical choices, but the fact is that many people don’t have the knowledge/resources to go out and do that, and for them it’s a benefit without proven drawbacks
