   K. Eric Drexler's "Engines of Creation" got a lot of favorable comment when it was published but then it kind of faded from view. Might be worthwhile to revisit it?

   Stupid question... I guess SSG pages can be hosted for free from Github or Cloudflare. Any EU equivalents of these - with free or dirt-cheap hosting ?

    I've lived in LA and I've lived in Scandinavia. And car life sucks. So good luck and Godspeed, Los Angeles.

    Eventually it will dawn on most people that it is time once again to shorten the standard work week. Until then it's all talking in circles.

    > "wait, there's actually a lot of intelligent behavior in these creatures that we didn't notice because they think on much different timescales" I've read that rocks are alive and quite possibly sentient. Althou
