I wish we had a brave new world, we’re getting 1984. While a brave new world was unsettling, almost every character enjoyed their lives. We’re getting “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever.”
I know you were just using that title because it conveniently fit the sentence. I just needed to get this off my chest.
My one frame every 50 sec is very important to me.
Yeah, choose SCUBA spelunking like a real daredevil!
If you haven’t tried this game, do it. It is fantastic.
I assume the Syrian civil war?
I’ve never understood this. It’s pretty easy to make some decent bread just by feel. I never measure, all you need is the right moisture to flour content.
But now after writing this maybe I just don’t have fear…
True love is knowing the exact line between playful annoying and rage-inducing annoying. It takes a while to dial in. I can tell you’ve found it.
Those two examples (Ford And IBM) are not very convincing. Both are probably examples used in business school on how to identify and exploit and untapped market.
Sure, they’re not today’s industry leaders, but they were for a very long time. Their global name recognition is because they were in the right place at the right time.
Hey! Fuck you chemicalwonka! Your nuanced, slightly different opinion enrages me! We’re enemies now.
Or you can season the shit out of it. That will also smooth out the surface. Seasoning basically makes non-stick layers on your pan using burned oil.
Preferably outdoors wipe a thin film of cooking oil on the pan and heat it up till it smokes, leaves smokey for a bit, cool down and repeat.
It’d probably be smart to read real instructions somewhere else, but that’s the jist of it.
Is this the ceramic coated ones?
It’s nothing specific to LA, it’s what any city with that population and a car centered infrastructure turns into.
I know that’s probably what you meant, just wanted to add a bit o’ clarity.
Respect the rules! We all pretend 2005 was 4 years ago and 2014 was last year.
I listened to a podcast with a linguist who studied profanity. Please accept my paraphrase here:
Profanity is ‘things you cannot say in polite society’. Examples in the middle ages are mostly religious, some of which survive to today like OMG and goddam. The next big stage was Victorian England where anything sexual was taboo. Here you get the body parts, fuck, etc…
Once the large social taboo is removed, the swear words remain as profane because of social momentum, but they do not have the same value as present day swear words.
According to this academic, today’s current swear words are ‘outgroup identifiers’, things like the N word, Jews, Fags… which seems to ring true to me. If I went into work and said shit in front of HR no one would blink an eye. If I said the N word it could easily be grounds for termination.
Thank you for this researched, thought out answer. I really appreciate the time you put into it. Super interesting topic and I’m glad to learn more!
They can’t control which particles fuse though. The Helion energy reactor still has the particles for deuterium to deuterium fusion. 50% of the time that gives your tritium+p and 50% is He3+n. I don’t know the preference of each fusion event in their reactor, but not all events will produce charged particles.
I’m trying to decide if second hand purchases would somehow have upstream effects.
Trump helps Chinas foreign policy so much. Their goal for decades has been to spread soft power and influence. They’ve been very effective even before Trump. What China is able to provide now is stability. The chaos that Trump sows drives nations away from the USA sphere of influence into the Chinese sphere. All they have to do is not rock the boat, do what they say they’re going to do, and let the US do the advertising for them.
It’s very sad to see an authoritarian state be the bastian of hope for developing nations. It feels like the democratic experiment has failed and authoritarianism is taking control worldwide.
OOTL, can I get an explanation?
