Film theory did an interesting video where they concluded it’d be okay since he’d only be intaking a little over time. (Not saying that’s true)

Yeah they reference this in the book, it’s always from him when he uses the bacteria (meaning in theory it’s only his own pathogens or bacteria). He uses his crews shit that’s been dried and left in Martian temperatures so it’s sterilised.

Progressive taxes are a way to make up for the imbalance of poorer people spending a higher proportion of their income on essentials, it’s a fundamental of economics. Although I have heard that the tax brackets in Russia are completely flat (not that that makes it any better).

They do something fun with this in the three body problem. It’s amazing and makes a ton of sense but in the real world the application will probably be a lot cleaner.

Also the fact that the economy is managed can mean things aren’t always testable. If you think there’s going to be a recession based on models and you prevent that by using policy, did you really prevent the recession or was it never going to happen?

I thought the proposal to call them majority world countries was interesting.

Yeah I got called a narcissist with my worst ex and then just flat out asked if they knew what it meant, I think it was a little telling they didn’t actually know (not that I do either lol). It’s really hard being with someone who makes you feel loved but doesn’t love you and I’m so proud of you for being on the other side of it and being happy!

As everyone has said, lossless compression might not have great ratios, but if it’s still worth it I recommend dwarfs as it creates read only mountable filesystems with minimal setup https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs

Nah it makes sense

Yeah, it almost looks like you’d be able to run things faster than natively on windows, which is why I’m suspicious (not that it’s a lie just that the numbers lack context). It doesn’t say what the numbers represent I think?

I haven’t heard anything about David Attenborough talking about plant based stuff so I won’t dispute it but he did help found and fund the zoology museum in my town, one that specifically tries to educate people on the dangers of climate change and making species endangered. From what I’ve seen of his filming they’re pretty conscious about not leaving any waste behind too.

I second the dynamo, never felt it pulling me back and I always have working lights. I tease my bike enthusiast friend whenever he asks to charge his lights but it really is just convenient. So far I’ve never broken them so I think that’s a plus.

Nor mine 😥

Nor mine😥

Yeah it’s still widely known

Criticism and hate are two different things. I hate windows, I can criticise parts of arch Linux which is so far my favourite OS. Me not liking part of it or the way it works doesn’t mean there’s another version that is completely perfect and I should just shut up and use that. Also no it doesn’t suck, but updating my system and having it break is a problem I should not be having.

But if lots of people use it wrong and break it then maybe it’s too obtuse. I broke one of my applications by upgrading packages. The solution? Install the package again, I thought the package manager would take care of stuff like that but if it’s meant to be me then I think it’s a bad system.

I broke my install by updating it, I get that if you perfectly understand what’s going on then it has no bugs but that’s really not my experience. A lot of the time something will break and it’s easy to say “I should’ve known it was this so it’s my fault” but really if you didn’t expect it to work a certain way and it breaks it’s not a super stable system.

A lot of them

काश यह सच होता 😭 Nah I’m from the UK and the test is really strange and involves a lot of stuff important to my parents and laws in parts of the country I’ve never been to so pretty much studying is mandatory.
