Neither Genghis Khan nor Napoleon were democratically elected. The fact that Trump was makes it harder to see him as the root of the problem. He may have been a catalyst, but the root cause is something else.

It is completely obvious to me. There is only one uniform time, and thousands of arguments for what is a good time to do this or that. Reschedule things to work better. Don't force everything else according to some most important thin

To me it feels like redefining the meter to make it better for some particular purpose. For example, it is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299792458th of a second. Why not make it an even 300000000? Or make it perfect to mea

You are free to put your data whereever you want. But from a national security perspective, it is critical that Europe can run vital, public services on software and infrastructure under their own control

> Constitutional changes are required for other countries to trust in the stability of the US in the future. For sure. Question is what would be enough to regain trust? I don't really see it happening

Actually, the data centers can be the discs. As long as the data centers can crunch on, we don't need to stay alive here on earth

Let's say there is an earth killing event, and let's say there is an outpost on Mars with some people on it. How much does it really matter that some humans survive, in light of the enormous catastrohophe that killed all life on e

I have been looking into options too. One option that seemed attractive was called Zoho mail. Any experiences from that?

No I can't. I have Windows 11 on my work computer, and it is what I have to use.

by mongol 9mo ago
One thing that is pretty impressive with Windows 11 however is WSL. I can just run a X program and it pops up as its own Window. So for example, I can run Chrome on Ubuntu on Windows, out of the box. On Windows 10, WSL is good for the comma

Yeah, I see it as a kind of "jumping the shark" moment. There is simply no way to compromise with a neighbors territorial sovereignty to avoid tariffs. It is not going to happen. We may as well regard the US as a black hole that w

My father speculated about a Molotov-Ribbentrop variant being played out not long ago. I never even considered it but I am no longer surprised it is speculated about. What we are seing feels eerily similar.

I am not sure if I read you right but if you mean that there will be significant grass roots efforts in Europe to boycott anything from the US, I think you are right.

I think the same, but the Rubicon was Jan 6 2021. That was when he showed his true colors. What we see now are just the consequences

I think they will, they just want to wait for the right time. You could argue that the right time is now but I think they are waiting until there is more proof on the ground (and not just talk) that the US is ready to act.

Is the side to fill up evenly balanced between cars in average? I imagine there is value to make it close to 50/50 to simplify the logistics at the gas station. I was thinking car manufacturers perhaps had agreed so that some brands do

The cashlessness in Sweden has strange effects on people. I don't think I recognize the coins in my country any more. They feel as foreign as coins do when travelling abroad before you get used. A bigger problem may even be the depende
