As soon as the US is within a sufficient distance from self-sufficiency (and that might mean being at the leading node but at 5x the price) that shield’s as good as gone.

I’m sure there are some scenarios where this is bad, but like anything else the quality of the relationship is going to come down to the people in it. My wife and I had 2 years of simultaneously working from home and it was amazing.

Noklahoma?

Not sure why anyone would want more Oklahoma

I mostly agree, but losing herd immunity would be devastating for infants and the immunocompromised.

Yeah I’m always unclear on headlines. I’d rather de-clickbait them but some mods are very particular about only showing unedited headlines

Looks like something out of Howl’s Moving Castle

They still have a shitton of thermal (e.g. burning hydrocarbons of some sort) baseload, but it’s really shocking to see how quickly renewable capacity has been added. Anyone want to do the capacity factor calculations on this to see where they really are?

You might want to peruse the job board at 80000.org , which tracks jobs that do social good. It can be a mixed bag though. Right now I see postings for both a Director of Clinical Development at the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and also a Chief AGI Economist at Google, so YMMV.

Most nonprofits will have some software needs, and smaller ones in particular can’t usually pay the going rate for a developer. It’ll be a mix of tech work in my experience -IT, support, web design and system integration mostly. Your local city government will probably be similar.

I agree with your sentiment, but the notion that information in the brain is comparable to binary bits on a scratched CD isn’t really accurate either. Even severely damaged brains have been shown to be able to recover both functions and memories, and it’s unclear exactly how things like individual memories are encoded – or whether encoding is even the right way of thinking about it at all.

That aside, even if some loss is irretrievable, I’d vastly prefer to be left with 80% of myself than 0% of myself.

Yes, that’s exactly why Eden exists - everything about the Yuzu project on github was obliterated . It seems weird to me another group would try the same trick when the first takedown was so public.

Considering how hard Nintendo went against Yuzu, I don’t understand how they think they’ll be able to keep this project up for very long. Also, why on earth host it on github instead of someplace like codeberg which might have more forgiving rules?

Damn. Some people have all the luck.

I would pay good money to unlock fast charging mode.

I went the other way. Weekend mornings by me are an insane madhouse of small business owners, soccer moms, and octogenarians. By evening it’s usually pretty quiet.

Trying to set the world record for rubber chicken throwing is certainly odd, but hardly unhinged. Honestly as someone trying to navigate the massive disappointment of humanity these days I found this whole story to have a very satisfying zen to it.

Whatever it is, it’s certainly not GNU/Linux.

If I like trolling the trolls does that make me part of the problem or part of the solution?

Orchids are air plants, they don’t grow in soil, so you wrap their long, fat roots with a handful of moss and tie them tightly around a tree trunk. Over the next several months the roots will grow up against the trunk and secure the orchids in place. Once it’s settled you don’t even need to water it anymore, it’ll be able to harvest enough from the air (assuming you live someplace humid, of course) Not my photo, but illustrates::
