It is not good, but it is necessary when a government acts the way the Kremlin does. I'm glad to hear there are serious measures in place. Surely you saw the writing on the wall and could have taken citizenship in your host country? Al

I'm not sure what was supposed to have happened 20 years ago. In 2005 everything seemed great. Maybe it's a reference to post 2008, the previous time America screwed everyone over? The election that spawned austerity was in 2010,

Find some good independent online radio stations that you like. There are successful ones out there, nts.live and rinse.fm in the UK for example. Obviously they exist in other countries too. I say independent as most radio is stacked with a

A tech bro true believer comes to the rescue to set us all straight. Of course the world would fall apart if Thanos snapped his fingers and disappeared Meta. Thinking about I might watch that movie, a Thanos redemption arc maybe...

> De-industrialization due to high energy prices is, but of course von der Leyen will not mention that. Europe needs to let Putin finish off Ukraine so he can turn the gas on again, amiright?

For celebrities it is a bullet point on their CV. - Control of high engagement Twitter account with 50 bazillion followers. Like commits on Github for tech bros. All those spelling mistakes won't fix themselves.

It is possible to talk to young children in a grown up way faster than people think, at least for those that do not have recent experience with toddlers. My son is 2 1/2 and making sure we know he wants to do things his own way. But if

No matter how good a teacher or school is it will never compete with the direct access to children tech companies have 24/7. They spend billions designing addictive apps that destroy attention spans and we are supposed to blame teacher

Raster quality is limited by how much effort engine developers are willing to put into finding computationally cheap approximations of how light/materials behave. But it feels like the easy wins are already taken?
