with roads, you already have a central authority (the DMV) that decides who can drive and who can't. Try taking your home-built motorbike with no licence plate out for a spin on public roads, you'll likely get pulled over by polic

that's why I show up to my olympic weightlifting club, and music shows, and acroyoga jams regularly. I do like my co-workers. A lot. But if seeing them in the office was my only social life I'd die. I can't speak for everyone

your comment confuses me, I would appreciate it if you could please clarify - you rent a 25m2 lab for 10 euro/m2, so 25eur for the whole lab? For how long is this price? Per hour, day, week, month?

I personally make a sharp distinction between my professional and personal work. Personal time is for "hacking", exploring, playing around with stuff. Professional/work time is for enriching the bossman as fast as possible -

mmm... from what I've seen gay women (i.e. lesbians) tend to have rather noticable appearances - either rather butch/masculine, or somewhat 'freaky'. There are exceptions, where they just go for "comfy", howeve

no, my Dad and Mom split because Mom found out Dad had been having an affair, had gotten HIV and made a baby with another woman, and they're still fighting over small stuff, literally 19 years later. Just don't get married, ever.

alright then, I'll fallback to my backup - humans are cheaper. They don't require mining rare earth metals, they're more versatile, and uh... oh gosh it's only a matter of time before we're all replaced by cheap car

all AI art is confined to digital medium (at least for now, 3D printing might change that). You can't see the brushstrokes like in a real life, physical painting. Dancing is one that will be very hard to copy, because you need actual h

I second that. Life is absurd, and ketamine is quite safe if done properly.

you're never going to get rich working for someone else, start a business if you want to increase your income. The whole point of the day job is just to pay the bills while you build your business which will make you rich. Sorry you ha
