I'm sorry, but that war was lost the moment it was waged, and that wasn't a mystery even then. "You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it wi

It's either this, or something like objective collapse really does happen, physically, which seems less likely.

Is any of it available on Sci-Hub, or be made to be available there?

That was quite an interesting read, and something I've been reading about for a while since the internet has shown what Akido has often become. I think it's nice that people have a good time in a kind of active, spiritual endeavor

ITT: I learn just how pitifully limited and inaccurate my knowledge of insurance is. Is there a good place to learn more about this topic, online?

I'm thinking more of long-term effects on science publishing, that survive after Sci-Hub is potentially taken apart or subverted as Napster was. Napster wasn't that great, but it taught a lot of people directly, just how much bett

You're right, but now you don't have to buy any more than a buck's worth of it if you don't feel like it, which is an improvement. Still, a dubious one I think. In any case, scientific writing needs to be out in the open

Hopefully there's a better outcome than just lowering prices per unit though.

You're going backwards. We already did the "per capita" thing, now you're pretending that you didn't understand what "large" meant in the first place? I see that you have some kind of problem with what&#x2

Well, that title was a little misleading, but it's still not an encouraging tale. What's the fix here?

In what way does that relate to the original point? Russia doesn't have the record of producing mathematicians at a rate of a much smaller country like Germany.

That... is a good point. I forgot that it's taxpayers suing ourselves. Goddamn it.

More than 140 million is pretty huge, and that's modern Russia, not what it used to be with all of its empire, and later satellite states.

They're generally sued actually, and when they really fucked up they pay a LOT as a result.

It's a lot easier to get rid of a cop or a sheriff, than a judge too; no shock that the rot really sets in on the bench. Then, there's the reality that many judges are political appointees.

Under Peter, Russia imported a lot of great minds, who then fled when things started to get horrible. They've produced some greats, but shockingly few when you consider how large the country their working with is.

Thank goodness, now it's just a bunch of "local conflicts" and "police actions". But no "war". Safe! /s

For the same reason that we end up hearing about virtually everything, eventually; people really stink at keeping secrets.

I wonder how long it will be before our infrastructure really starts to go south before people will wake up to what this country is becoming? I think a few bridges need to collapse before people get the idea that this is about "pump an

None of this is new, and yet as far as anyone knows no one has ever yet met at the intersection of hacking and murder.

I'm not sure how much I believe in any counter-surveillance methods anymore that involve a phone. Then again, I'm happy that my life doesn't include the need for that level of secrecy.

As an avid fencer, I couldn't agree more! My first instinct, trained into me for years with fencing has to do with scoring points on specific areas, in specific ways, not killing or surviving. It might look a little similar to the unin
