Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.

Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.

Imagine hiking/camping somewhere nearby, immersing yourself in nature, when a fucking military jet falls out of the sky and crashes near you…

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you’re left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they’re reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.

At least they’re working on the wall part lol

Or the pirates

I’m hoping to be fully self-hosted by then.

Really fun game. A bit barren, but I guess a post-apocalyptic world would be.

I’m 30 and I literally have 2 electric skateboards lol

Seriously… Covid was an eye opener me as well.

It was so much quieter outside. The air was cleaner. Animals were returning to previously deserted areas at remarkable rates.

Everyone was itching to get back to “normal,” but normal was what was causing all of the destruction on the first place.

The government should literally be paying people to stay home and do nothing. I remember reading somewhere that it is more cost effective in the long run. Rather than fixing damage and rebuilding cities after increasingly severe natural disasters.

While true, it may be time to realize that we will never have all the answers. And the amount of questions that need answering will trend towards infinity.

Imagine how many people can be fed with €20,000,000,000. Or homeless housed. Or children educated.

Instead, a few elite scientists (likely from a well connected family) will be conducting research that is basically unsolvable and is incomprehensible to human minds.

There is also a high likelihood that the technological discoveries will be used for military purposes. Such as displacing and/or killing those homeless, starving, uneducated children.

The cherry on top is the impact on the environment. The amount of precious metals required for such a project requires heavy mineral extraction. A particle collider uses massive amounts of power as well.

But yes, we will create groundbreaking (literally) new schools of mathematics that will disprove earlier theories. Until of course it is disproven itself by yet another future theory. Unless we all kill ourselves before then, that is…

Lol good point. We will come out of this with more questions than we started with…

Does that make Excel the operating system? Or is it the firmware/BIOS

Are these the new Evee evolutions?

I agree that ‘Modern Web’ perhaps isn’t the best word to describe the image.

It’s more like the userbase. If all the terribly invasive ads were visible, most people would leave those sites and it would all crumble.

If the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal.

Fuel usage alone… Not too mention the high electricity use for AC and other equipment.

In 2017, the US military bought about 269,230 barrels of oil a day and emitted more than 25,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide by burning those fuels. The US Air Force purchased $4.9 billion worth of fuel, and the Navy $2.8 billion, followed by the Army at $947 million and the Marines at $36 million.

It seems to be growing every year… What would it honestly take to get enough people to take action against the military industrial complex? Is there even a way?

That’s pretty NEAT!

That’s probably cause the userbase was flooded with bots to make up the difference

Hydroponics, when combined with indoor, vertical farming, is the reason that the Netherlands are one of Europe largest exporters of food. Even though they’re one of the countries with the least amount of farmland.

And now, here’s 1989 hot single, Pump Up the Jam.

Copper wires are expensive. And you need to house those wires in aluminum pipes. That’s a lot of metal that you no longer need to buy. Especially considering how many light switches in our homes.
