Its worldwide and it all comes down to wealth disparity. Just look at the disparity in even the top ten or 100 lists of wealthiest people and corporations. Musk is like double the person below him most of the time. That is why he can fuck things every which way and stay on top. The numbers are insane. Over a hundred people for people and market caps in trillions for corps while regular folks are trying to get by and thousandaires.

Is that an issue. I thought glass did not allow uv through.

Nope. Live in a condo.

This type of activity just increased and increased in the aughts and slashdot just was pointless. Its sorta like the superbowl for me. Best to just avoid the stream and check out best of lists after the fact.

I have not been on since my last comment but man I remember avoiding the internet for a day back in the day. Good to be back.

ahh. yeah. forgot. its don’t look at the internet day.

I just say thank you and try to be reasonable and not use up more of their time than I need to.

who else thought something else when they read sailor worf?

winning is a perspective. they think they won arguments all the time.

creation of physical cash’s cost are not inflated and get changed based on cost and necessity. Using cheaper materials to reduce cost but adding advanced elements which increase cost. Again though it does not have an artificial inflation mechanic causing it to use more energy over time and is just based on method and materials. A big thing in this is how long it functions. coins cost more than paper mostly but one thing people don’t take into account is how long they last versus paper. So you typically see things about a penny costing more than a penny but whats not taken into account is that it is least lasting coin at 25 years while most paper under 50s last less than 10 years but longer lasting denominations are usually used less. It comes down to how much value physical money gets in its lifetime vs its cost to make. So you add up every transaction and average out the value for a particular currency type. Movement is done in the real world so its a bit apples to oranges. It does not require anything necessarily. If all computers and electricity. So its going to vary greatly if I give my brother a fiver for grabbing his oj than if I go deposit it at a bank to if I buy from a retalier to if I foolishly mailed it directly. I don’t think physical money can be compared to much of any electronic equivalents honestly. That is in the realm of folks that believe in cashless system to ones who want some ability to have the physical ability.

this makes me think of the dilbert where the lazy guy talks about reusing code from payroll on this project for airline software and warns his workmates to not fly on payday.

Bitcoin uses way to much energy to use as currency like that. gridcoin or any other one that uses proof of stake would be better if accepted but its a bit nicer if the energy put into it results in a useful product which gridcoin does.

Honestly one thing that im not wild about with steam competitors is they all are storfronts that also make games. So I worry that if one of them becomes heavy hitters you get bias and walled gardens.

Ugh. I have the unfortunate situation that my favorite superheroes are doctor strange for marvel and green lantern for dc. I had sorta forgotten I had picked up multiverse of madness to watch. I was sorta meh on the first movie and was hoping the second would redeem it. To make matters worse I was sick of meh media in general and had finally decided to rewatch the firefly series. Firefly and lord of the rings are basically my two favorite things. I was putting off rewatching as long as I could. I had watched the broadcast and then rewatched when I bought the dvd (seeing the unaired episodes for the first time). I then did not watch till I broke down recently. Anway it was just after I noticed I had gotten multiverse of madness and was like. Oh boy I should watch that. It was so not better than the meh first. I had not watched a marvel movie since avengers endgame outside of deadpool and guardians of the galaxy. Sooooooo disappointing. (sorry the firefly thing was me trying to explain how watching something I liked a lot did not help with a movie I did not like at all. May have made it worse. I keep wondering that if maybe I watched something garbagey enough before hand that it would have seemed alright by comparison)

Im oddly both. Im generally unorganized but if I have control of my environment I will both organize as I go and do spurts of organizing. When I have enough time things will get organized but I like them organized by practicality or ease of use although sometimes that does not matter and I will do alphabetical or date or such.

This gets me because I was filling out a survey for my local library and I said they are the most important institution after city hall and the post office.

goes beyond even that. both piefed and mbin show the same feeds as well so you will this comment is from piefed but my other account is on the mbin instance catsweat.

Easiest solution is to do everything on a remote host and just use the laptop or rdp or ssh or whatever works best for you system.

I read it as replace doctors but yeah. I mean even current crappy ai chatbots can increase the productivity of a human. Granted we have thinned our systems in prioritizing efficiency over quality that Im not sure if we will see much of an effect till we have a society were people are relatively satisfied with its functioning.

This is pretty significant considering photosynthesis from most plants will degrade and even stop at higher temperatures. We have known about it but other plants using a different type of photosynthesis will still be able to do it. This however sounds like it would effect all plants regardless. Granted maybe I sound to light but you know. Fucked a bit harder.
