Looks like outsourcing good management of public resources to “greed” to fix inefficiencies. Why is some greedy fuck with delusions of grandeur needed here?
PS: ok, ok, you need an outsider asshole who is unafraid to go against installed parasites in the system to streamline processes…so…you end up with one giant parasite that interferes with elections and manipulates markets…:/
I used to respect his opinion…now he’s just another blathering head who is always “right about everything” in hindsight.
Space used to be inspiring when it was the playground of scientists and engineers. What made it all vomit was the privatization of astronautics (and the associated place in our imaginations) to the worst possible assholes and their cult of personality.
Depends on your attack profile and what you’re biting: do you want slash, stab or crush damage?
like this?
Dating and jobhunting are surprisingly similar, no? (and flathunting)
Vacuum is a perfect thermal insulator. The only real losses are radiative.
Edit: From Stefan-Boltzmann: up to (not sure about emissivities, but could be down to 10% of this) 100kW for a black body of 1m diameter at 1000C.
It is not user experience, it is user manipulation. We are so so far beyond Stallman’s warnings about enslavement through corporate software design.
I just expected poles to be more resistent to self-harm narratives from russia…even if they are not explicitly about russia. So much for “russophobia”.
this is the way: NCD waifus demonstrate it.
echoes of Brexit…
That is because the MAGA/P2025/neofascist plan is not to maintain hegemony against near-peers (which is expensive on the citizen), it is to return to the mythologized post-war boom by letting the rest of the world go to shit again and then to swoop in to “save” everyone (again) while selling them weapons and industrial stuff (but not to let them reindustrialize again, like during the cold war).
What is preverse is that it was the reindustrialization and social state of Japan, Germany/EU that was the poster child that helped keep these blocks from turning fully socialist and win hearts and minds abroad during the cold war. I guess that was too successful and is making russia/US look bad.
PS: btw, this “strategy” is risky, because there is no way to guarantee that WW3 won’t reach US soil this time, you can’t just sit it out.
Apparently this was a real strategy on twitter for the 2024 election: videos of hot women followed by trump messages aimed at young men…and it seems to have worked to at least get them off the couch…just be aware of it ffs (fucking monkey brains)
No, that is precisely the point. There is a line to be drawn over that continuum (e.g. you don’t go to talks, town halls and lectures to be entertained and be kept hooked on cliffhangers). The fact that everyone is competing for attention these days and that communicators have to become entertainers is a different problem. Look at Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman…and Habermas too.
Many journalists should feel called out by this.
Well, at least the datahoarders can preserve some things when it all goes to shit…
Politiclowns are only popular when they are far away, but once you know them, you don’t want them running your city into the ground.
Shit, looks like the crazy stock bubble is starting to dwarf and eat into the consumer market instead of just bursting…
But there was a time when the system worked during the cold war, because it was tied to “national security” and the military. I just find it ironic that in a world that is so dependent on spatial products that interest seems to be taken so lightly when compared with the past.
