I’m in the middle of reading A City of Mars, by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith, who goes over their take on the feasibility of long term habitation off world. Short answer is, it’s going to be a long time. There are a lot of questions, physically, biologically, legally, logistically, unanswered. At best, it’s going to be like building a cathedral. It’s a project for multiple generations.

I also like watching Issac Arthur’s videos on YT, and fantasize about the future. He gives a more positive spin on stuff like that.

You might be right

The fucking cigarette. I never noticed before lmao

In under 80 years they’ll have to change the system again smh

I would hate to work under you. I hope you’re not in charge of anything OSHA related.

A DBIED

Once upon a time KMT fought the Communist roughly around WW2. However nowadays KMT’s more interested in maintaining a relationship with China and rejects Taiwan independence vs DPP whose official position is that Taiwan is an independent and sovereign country.

If my understanding is correct they elect the President and the legislative body separately. The President is from the DPP, more anti-China party, but the KMT, a more pro-China party, has the majority.

Thanks for reminding me of jitsi! I’ll see if my group would bite for a matrix and jitsi combo lol

Any alternative you would recommend? I’m mostly using it for video group call for dnd. Although convincing the group to change to yet another program would be the hardest part.

It’s gotten to the point where Doritos costs as much as the “fancy” kettle chips in the organic isle that used to be $1-2 more expensive a few years ago.

I wonder how does ATC talk to the plane. Does it get routed to the remote pilot? The article describes controlling the plane through a series of menus. Does the pilot have enough flexibility when something unexpected happens like a sudden weather change or bird strike?

Maybe that and the creator of Mastodon actively rolling out the red carpet for Zuck

I sent a poor woman on the wrong bus before getting on the bus she needed once. I realised way too late, right before I passed the place she wanted to go to.

I hope she’s OK. I’ve been given the wrong direction since, so I guess my karma have been restored lol.

Probably the paper being translucent from being wet and the background coming though lol

3 grenades tossed into a room full of people and no one died on the scene? That’s some luck

This video gives a biological explanation to vampires that explains their aversion to right angles as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJLA8iNUV-0

Internet is important and useful, but it didn’t stop the .com bubble from being a thing

The only non-muscle hunk in this image is Jack Black (famously the poster boy for unconventionally attractive man, where the picture chosen is a younger and skinnier one), Joseph Quinn, and mayyybee Jeremy Allen White.

The nerve of putting Orlando fucking Bloom as Legolas or Cavill as The Witcher as “little”. This disconnect is unfathomable.

This meme really gets the rise out of me because I agree with the sentiment but the example they chose are so bad.
