Let me put it more succinctly than has been expressed, emotions are a shit show, much of modern politics is emotionally driven to manipulate you and thus part of that show. A lot of us are not into German scheisse, so keep that crap at home

I feel like you are a lone voice crying in the night. I tell people this all the time, but they are so trapped in the temporal that they cannot see the bigger picture, consumed by emotional thought that they cannot look past it. If people c

Just so we call out facts, and for the record I am not right wing. But the second article is false on its face a self claimed hard left antifa associate killed someone in portland less than a month ago. So the claim that there has been no d

No I am not, I don't agree with radical ideals, I am not approving of either sides ideals. I do not need to choose your side and I am not your enemy, if I don't see eye to eye with you. At some point you get the idea that we are e

Not too long ago, maybe 4 months ago I saw an article posted on HN which was along the lines of moderates are more dangerous than the enemy, because they empower the other side. It was a fairly radical piece obviously slanted towards hard-l

I currently professionally use Archicad, I have used Revit, and I have used Rhino and AutoCAD. Training on new software is very time consuming and switching for a single project would guarantee a loss for the architect if the traditional 1

Can't help but evoke images in my mind of some mad scientist trying to recreate Tesla's Telegeodynamics. The concept of transferring power via seismic waves always fascinated me as a kid.

I can tell you after I had my attempt, when I returned to rational thought it scared the crap out of me. So when I decided that it was a done deal I took efforts to hide my body. I did not want to be found, I live in a chain of islands and

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I do not suspect that you are well read on the subject matter: On the matter of genocide, the texts are very clear that we all have to experience death, no one escapes it. In the text god does not see death as

That has not been my observation, it seems to me that it has been other individuals making a "think of the old people" argument. Now that is anecdotal but I have not heard many of the elderly I know voice fear over the situation.

Yes please don't read that as an implication that by default that 1) All religious people are moral 2) all non-religious are not. My point was more of the fact of the outlook the two views seem to produce. The reality is Atheism did no

Wanted to add, that I also ponder if Mass shootings are a form of this internal anger suicide but rather than internalizing the anger as self loathing they externalize their desire for non-existence as being the result of others actions so

Living life without evidence is one way to look at it, another way to look at it is living to a moral code that thousands of years of humanity has agreed provides a happy life. If you look at most of the world religions they pretty much agr

To put yourself at ease I have never seen an old person fear death. Though I have seen then struggle thru the active process of dying but that is temporary. My family lives unusually long, usually at least into their late 90's most go

Assuming that we achieve immortality in our current state I would assume this means a cure for natural death. e.g no more death from old age. That still leaves death from murder, accidents, etc. Given that reality, I still don't see th

I don't believe it would and I think Steve Jobs summed it up better than I could on the subject "Death is very likely the single best invention of life". It puts pressure on us and if we take the correct view of death it empo

First let me state that I do not hate Python, but I would suppose 2 items are on the top of the list for people that do. The first and the one that makes me dislike Python (not hate) is that Python enshrined into the language syntax that wh

It gets worse than that, if you buy a gun that was imported you are subject to the 922 rule. Which means that if you take that imported gun and put a US part on it, you are subject to being viewed as having assembled a foreign manufactured

So on durability it seems the converse has usually proven out to be the rule rather than the exception. Probably the best example is the AK, tolerances are loose, it can be manufactured with rudimentary equipment. Basically a metal brake, a
