value doesn't mean anything in this case. what matters is that someone can take away your property if you don't do what they say. That's not ownership.

To me, it's not enough for someone to simply "identify" as an owner. To me the definition of ownership means someone cant come take your property if you don't do what they say. what's even more fascinating is that e

you still don't own your house. The bank can take it away if you don't pay them. then you have property tax, insurance, maintenance, and a huge amount in interest. My aunt is a landlord. And at the end of the day, her profit is ar

I hate when people use the term own to mean have a mortgage. you don't own it. the bank owns it and you're a caretaker of it for 30 years

I would love to have conversations with NPCs be run by chat GPT. Train them on the lore of the world somehow and converse with the NPC.

I rode the Los Angeles and San Fran mass transit for years. And it made me love cars. I love having a little home base wherever I go. I love not having to sit next to homeless people on drugs doing crazy things next to me. I love being able

I've had three XPS's in the past few years, one of them the mouse didn't work out the box, the second one started having fan issues after one year, and this current one just freezes randomly for no reason. It sucks because De

Additional decay: Spam calls. Very rarely used to have spam calls on the 90s now it's daily occurance.

I think this will probably be a boon to the project manager. It will be another tool and their toolbox along with real developers that they can assign lower complexity tasks too. at least it's till it's capable of doing high compl

Little things I've noticed decay in my 40 plus years. I noticed credit card machines fail a lot more. Like 5 or 10 years ago credit card machines very rarely failed. Like you didn't even think about it. Now it's like a 25% c

Somebody stole my car and the cops recovered it and the thieves left a nice Makita skill saw in the back. I told the cop on the scene that it wasn't mine and he said he was going to "confiscate it for evidence" and he put it

I remember Voat! It started off with great intentions, just to be a more free speech version of reddit and at the end was just posts about Michelle Obama being a man and Qanon. It was an interesting case study in how free speech can decli

Sierra Nevada watershed is already being used by Northern California. It provides 60% of California water. Even removing the farms, I couldn't find any data supporting that it was enough water for the rest of California. But that doesn

From where? I don't understand how that's possible. I don't know of any lakes or rivers or aquifers larger enough to provide water to almost 40 million people in California.

You lost me at Churchill is worse than Hitler. He's a British hero and to be honest a European hero. It's clear that some of the Indian people flooding into England have minimal respect for the British culture. It's just some

Do you know how much energy it would take to desalinate water for 30 million people plus all the farms? We're talking numerous large nuclear power plant levels of energy. Have you reaf how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant??

Just like California doesn't have enough water to support its population so it is a massive water grifter from the Colorado River. Theoretically, Colorado should charge massive amounts of money for that water. Every state helps each ot

IFR means infected people who died. IFR is measuring post infection fatality. This eliminates masks and all other infection prevention responses from the discussion. This study was also done from pre-vaccination data as well. This is the ra
