Not from USA but the q’s seems strange imo: 1. Is spending as a % of GDP the metric used to determine whether spending is out of control? If so, 70’s was Vietnam and other things since, is that why the date starts…
I go with critical thinking being thinking about thinking, or meta thinking. Which is to say have a thought, doesn’t really matter what, and then analyse it. Example is throw a dart at the board and then evaluate it…
I’ve wondered what it would take to be able to create energy arbitrarily. Gravity and mass and light seem to be suss in that context. I’ve been having a laugh to myself about the aether, a comment in here mentions…
I think I read a lot of these Tesla comments, I don’t know if it’s just people hating Musk but I scratch my head remember a Darwin Award (maybe honorary) from 2000’s of a caravan driver who crashed because they thought…
Tbh I think ‘they’ can still be used to describe what you say. I don’t mean it as a far out thing, just an abstraction. AFAI figure, there’s lot of different people doing lots of different things for lots of different…
Two puzzling things to me having read most of the comments: -‘It’s just a minor inconvenience/ why do you care so much?/…’ ~it’s just manipulation and social shaming ritual with questionable outcomes, that we’re going…
My pings roughly 60-80 no matter if I’m going to a friends server down the road or across the world. Before starlink, my rural internet would be lucky to get below 120. For what that’s worth.
Here’s one I remember from the permaculture or market garden ‘scene’ couple years back: There was a relationship where some would teach and provide food and accom and others would learn and work for no or little pay.…
Does anyone else get reminded of snow crash feds with stuff like this? I know when I’m sent a company document on company servers I behave like Yt’s mum. First except I found…
Hi sorry can I add Norm Mac Donald to the list? Ty.
I was taught that there was no difference and it was the Dutch that measured nose length and made the classification ‘arbitrarily’. But isn’t that false? In the time since I’ve seen side by side pictures and it seems…
Could be wrong but this was a bit in Silence of the lambs. Roughly that Clarice was hiding her southern accent to not invoke northernerns prejudices so she could advance her career?
Here’s a new one for me: At a swimming championship, some coaches had taken to quick sharp [fingers in mouth whistling] bursts on say a breaststroke when their heads come up, which then caught on with other punters.…
Thanks so it is just a roadblock. Please excuse me to keep going: most things either play or don’t play depending on that HDCP (yeash HD CP :s), but if I strip it away using say the second output of a splitter it will…
Hey, this thread is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone seemingly wanting HDCP, why is that? Isn’t everyone’s goal to strip it away from the video feed so it stops getting in the way? Is there some benefit to it I’ve…
Throwing out there that 16$ a week in coffee isn’t that much, make it two a day so you can be in the cool group, 16 goes to 40. Then chuck in a toastie because you deserve it twice a week now you’re at 60. A take away…
One of my frustrations is incompetent but nice people, but defined more like: can’t be trusted to not have their work checked but is adept at social games. When your manager, you cannot ‘just do’ anything they ask…
Isn’t the pretence important? If I talk to a bunch of people at the pub I’m likely to get various answers, increase the size of the pub and I’ll get to hear all kinds of different stuff and since it’s just people at a…
A skirmish thing happened a couple years back between India and China where a bunch of soldiers on both sides had a fight and bludgeoned and stabbed each other to death over some incitement or another. I think they…
Could that be 17 passes as a warning? Sometimes for example you hear tell of jets flying over ships to say ‘hey I could have bombed you but I didn’t’? I’m just not sure if you’d be able to miss 17 tries at a fuel dump…
How could they issue loans? 10 x 10$ deposits means you can loan 100$? Where as the modern way is more like 100$ in deposits means you can lend out 1000$ because chances are everyone won’t not pay it back? And then…
Which is to say something called RHA was the metric used for tank armour measuring, but it got gamed more and more and is now unreliable on the face of it except for rough jists? Do you think that marketing will drop to…
The 500% markup should also get you reliability and a decent chance that your tech is familiar with it were you ever to be on stage. Look around, everyone uses the same stuff, for the most part.
You said black America is a hate group. And now so have I. Dammit.
If those Republicans were chosen because of their anti-Trump or other pro-Democrac stances then he was funding enemies of his enemies.
