Yeah, how can people not see this? The “American Dream” and times of middle class prosperity were very obviously before China opened its economy and became the new industrial hub of the world. And when off-shoring started, so did real wage stagnation/decline.

Selling the declining American middle class plastic toys did not “make” that class. What made it were stable well paying manufacturing jobs. Trump won’t bring those back with a trade war with China, but the claim that Chinese labor “made” the American middle class is just delusional.

But not if the pressure is mostly coming from the external. Or worse if we look at Egypt, where now an even worse dictator than Mubarak rules, after the Egyptians have elected people the West didn’t like, and getting couped quickly.

that is quite simple actually.

Butter and skimmed milk also come from the same source. You have a complex mixture of stuff that is differently viscose, so in mixture it all ends up with a certain viscosity. Now you separate it and you get stuff that is almost solid and you get stuff, that is very liquid, or in the case of crude oil you get some gaseous fractions.

This is wrong in some many ways. To add to the already mentioned. Ocean water is the largest carbon dioxide buffer by absorbing CO2 to become carbonic acid. As the sulfur acidifies the Ocean, this “competes” with the carbonic acid, increasing the CO2 emissions from the Ocean.

In other words, all geoengineering tropes end up being horseshit.

Wasnt there some 17 year old kid that hacked the FBI some decade ago?

Professional IT security is fairly new.

The evaporation cools the remaining stuff down. And steam is not visible. What we consider visible “steam” is fine liquid water dropplets suspended in air, as the saturated air cooling down demands for some of the water to become liquid.

So you can be steaming and freezing at the same time.

140k people is about the amount of people living in a 1km radius around you, if you live in some inner city area.

I agree. KDE out of the box just looks solid and works. Especially when i came from Windows it was nice to know where basic functions are, and then slowly learn the cool stuff. But generally i like things to just be tidy and “bland” in the sense of not customized crazily.

And i hope your choice gets respected as it is your choice. The same should apply to the people whose personal effects have been robbed from their graves.

When looking at places like the British National Museum and when we look at many other Museums created at the height of Imperialism they were definetely signs of power over any scientific purpose.

It is the ultimate power move to get away with robbing artifacts from all over the world and putting them on display in your capital. And then having the audacity to claim to “take care of them” for your “underdeveloped” people wouldnt know how to handle your own culture.

I for sure dont want anyone to unbury me, steal my last personal effects to put on display and toss by remains in some cooler waiting further analysis.

That shouldnt matter. It remains an arbitrary decision by the living, who have no way of calling in the opinion of the deceased.

When coming across a burial site while doing archeological digging just restore it and move on.

The dignity of a human doesnt go away because people think his culture doesnt exist anymore.

For Boeing it is absolutely known to be malice. They don’t “fail” to hold the engineers accountable. They push out the engineers that want to follow safety protocols and it is well documented.

No! Not this Linux. My Linux is better because i can install the squabblesquanks myself and the doodledot UX is just more like in Hatted-Archer-Buntu 2.374. that one was the best OS ever made, but they messed it up with release 2.4

I use Linux btw.

While often better than in the US, you shouldn’t overestimate the state of democracy in other countries.

A lot of the far right parties in Europe are successfully copying the polarization tactics from the US.

So will the return of the flag conclude the adventures of ressource usage in computers?

Engineering formulas be like

“So there was this guy in 1896 and he did a bunch of trials and he figured out that a+b*x/c² is close enough to the real results, with values for a in range 1-2 and b in range 3-4. We still don’t understand why, or how he got there, but it worked ever since.”

Because you still had to watch things from poor quality VHS tapes on CRT monitors. Of course it looked different.

If the people interested in a platform that is based on equal access with ownership by many people rather than being subject to one corporate overlord tend to be more socialist, that should not surprise anyone.

Systematic historical thought emerged in ancient Greece, a development that became an important influence on the writing of history elsewhere around the Mediterranean region. The earliest known critical historical works were The Histories, composed by Herodotus of Halicarnassus (484 – c. 425 BCE) who later became known as the “father of history” (Cicero).

Now how many people had access to this knowledge is another matter, but studying history and learning from it was an important aspect in the education and training of leaders to be since more than a thousand years at the very least.

If we look at Moses and the Pharaoh as well as ancient Greek democracies, we can conclude that the principles of politics have not changed all that much in the past 3000-4000 years of human history. The knowledge was always there and the same mistakes are always repeated, with some very incremental progresses and regressions in between.
