Downloading music… I was discovering so many cool bands by downloading shitty quality mp3s!

What if you are severely immuno-compromised during a pandemic? Just die, I suppose?

Already taken by people with Creativity, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent.

I’m hoping some of the other acts no-show or pull out in advance in support of him. The actions of the EBU have been opaque and frankly awful.

Honestly, I think there is a real problem with infantilisation - and (Warning: unpopular opinion) a large part of this is the marvel films and manga trend. Those always over simplify every problem to a short, violent solution.

Nope, porn sport and anime bore me to tears… all blocked, plus a bunch of hyper-regional communities (sorry, Seattle, I’m in Europe, so the internal affairs of your city have little interest to me). I also had to block c/India because it kept getting pushed into my /all list.

I’m in my 50s and I’ve no fucking clue what that is. I guess I’m more out of touch than I thought…

There is another way, the one we seem to have chosen already - do nothing and wait for nature to take its course. Lots of people will die, but mostly the global poor who are far enough away from the 1% for them to care.

How many people are going to live on this space station? Thousands at most. What about the rest left on a dying planet?

Cosmic radiation goes about 10kmt through the earth, so a pile of dirt won’t help. A metric fuck ton of water or an incredibly strong magnetic field would be the minimum. Earth is habitable because it has the later.

What even is the goal here? A tiny group of people are now just about surviving on a small spaceship so they don’t have to… just about survive on a dying planet? Not sure I see the win here…

Making a self-sufficient space station is not any easier, and you still need to solve the cosmic radiation problem. How many people are you expecting to live on this thing any way, and how do you propose to lift a space craft big enough to support them all into space? These projects are so pie in the sky I’m lost for words…

Technology is not going to save us - escaping to space is a pipe dream: hugely expensive and frought with technical challenges and harsh realities like cosmic radiation that will kill anyone outside of Earth’s ionosphere for too long. And even if, somehow, we solve all of that, what makes you think that we can make Mars habitable when we can’t even keep the planet we’ve already got habitable?

There’s very little that’s left wing about him, he is a straight up alt-right shit lord.

I’m old, but when I was a student, the stereotype was that everyone studying computer science was a goth. I’m a goth FWIW, but I suppose stereotypes change with the times, too.

But why drive onto the flats in the first place? Here we park up and walk to the beach. Pretty sure it’s illegal to drive on the beach too…

I think we’re mixing up the consumer grade Lenovo laptops (cheap crap) with Lenovo Thinkpads (business grade and built like a tank). We use a lot of Thinkpads and they’re good - nice even, and they survive a lot of abuse.

Home made goulash soup and crusty bread and butter.

This sounds incredibly risky. Proceed with caution!
