Yeah, the clankers would have to learn all new inside jokes to try and fit in elsewhere. Might as well stay and chat with all of the other bots just like them!

This is meta, a democratic structure in the military of the democratic nation fighting authoritarianism.

This is one of the things that gives me the most hope for him as a candidate. He is (imo) a great public example of how to a person of faith in politics. I think setting this example will have a large impact on US politics as a whole. I think there are a ton of Christians that would break with Trump in a heartbeat given the choice between a Talarico and a Christian nationalist (as unfortunate as that scenario is).

Really unfortunate the only public figure that has stepped into the void left by this DNC is not eligible to run for president.

This cat’s a juggalo fo sho.

That is the fanciest ping pong paddle satchel I’ve ever seen! It’s also the first.

The ol Texas loophole.

Onewheels are so much fun.

Risk assessment is probability and severity. The probability can be vanishingly low, but if the severity is astoundingly high then acting like a high risk situation could be appropriate.

Take asteroids. The last planet killer to hit us was 94million years ago. A rudimentary estimate could put the probably as 1:94mil. The severity of an asteroid impact of that magnitude is off the charts, so it is reasonable to consider it a risk and act accordingly to spend resources to search for and track asteroid trajectories.

The severity of abduction, murder, and rape is probably pretty high for most people, so considering it a risk even with a very small probability is not unreasonable.

DBZ Abridged Nappa is the only true Nappa.

Woah, first I’m hearing about this. How’s it work? What’s it called? How do you find a place?

My enemy’s enemy…

Electric subs have been around since 1881… So almost the first, but just missed the mark. Sorry to fact check.

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…

That tiny smile made me smile!

Great call! Completely forgot about batteries and potato power sources!

Hydro, wind, solar, and wave/tide energy capture are not.

The crazy part is photovoltaics are the only power source that doesn’t spin something to make electricity. Truly an outlier.

That doesn’t really have the same rigidity. There would be no guarantee for others that it would remain available to them as long as they adhere to those principles.

Said another way, a bad faith actor could create a patent and make it available to FOS developers, but then turn around and sell that patent to someone who will charge those same developers.

I suppose you could have a third legally binding document that stipulates the terms of use, but kinda wish it was just handled under the patent.

Might be a stupid question, but I’d there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?

Agreed, it’s a half step forward. Leaving fossil fuels underground is still progress, even if we aren’t sequestering CO2 in the atmosphere.

I’m optimistic that building a market like this can drive design efficiency for direct air capture tech. If that efficiency is improved it could make capture and sequestration a more plausible option for govts in the future.

Fingers crossed!
