I once saw a woman screaming at the receptionist of an internet cafe cause she was being charged for two time slots, rather than one. She had exceeded her time by like 10 minutes. It was not much money they were fighting over. She just felt entitled to pay less, cause it was not her intention to exceed this threshold.

This was in Thailand and the woman was an American.

You switch when something is not working and you grow tired of that thing not working. If you never encounter that, you are good.

Again? How will they avoid the same outcome as last time?

That is all new cars, regardless of propulsion method or manufacturer. Your data will be sold, traded, aggregated, deanonymized and sold again as long as world goverments don’t put a stop to the current surveillance economy.

Botswana relies on diamond sales for around 80% of foreign exchange earnings…

… Botswana has hired French investment bank Lazard and Swiss lender CBH Bank to be co-advisers on plans to acquire De Beers.

Is this wise? Noone want’s diamonds. So lets get more reliant on diamonds.

That is very fast! Just looked up average race speeds of F1 cars, which is around 200km/h.

Natural progression on closed, locked down, mainstream platforms. They are not compatible with democratic, free countries.

Raspberrypi with pivpn. Put it right next to the router. Can possibly be powered by the routers usb port as well. Connect with ssh to administer. Easy as pie.

For always staying on the vpn: Get a pfsense router and configure it to always connect to the vpn and route all traffic through it.

Enjoyable read!

Cause it takes time and effort. Most people just pay someone else to read the manual.

I observe this in the stray dog population. There is always one calm and confident dog like this.

Would make senes if first and second line switched.

Powered by potatoes and designed by chickens.

Among dogs there is certainly the one dog that has the respect of the other dogs. The other dogs will happily wag their tail and show their belly. The ones that challange it will be chased away. I think each sex in the community has a ‘leader’ of their own.

I think the equivalent in humans are charismatic individuals that command respect over their surrounding.

People who self-proclaim ‘alpha’ usually lack charisma, are agressive, dysfunctional individuals that live in a fantasy. Noone respects them. They may see them as crazy and hence fear them.

The people?

So cheaper chips everywhere else?

Rephrase the question, “Do you fear the consequences of facing trials after the war, similar to how the nazi enablers did?”

Holocene extinction

Very nicely put.

We are in a mass extinction event right now. As a result of overpopulation. If we can not do things sustainably right now; we are overpopulating. Yes, we can extract more resources. But we don’t know how to do it sustainably. We are on borrowed time.

Those luxury watches got to have huge margins. I imagine watch makers can probably eat the tariff and sell at the same consumer price in the US.
