In this particular city, at least, it's cultural malaise, and one that is hard to escape just by going to another branch. That said, there are some good used bookstores out here (not the big chain stores) that have great collections.

I have begun taking my children to the local library, and I am shocked at how bad the selection is. There are very few books of lasting value in any part of the library. Nothing of serious or intellectual interest. And were I to give a fact

"Rising global temperatures are driving fungi to adapt by becoming more thermotolerant..." Your link only mentions Candida auris. I do not find it compelling to blame this on recent global warming for two reasons: 1) Regional and

The average inflation-adjusted annual tuition for a 4-year degree has gone from $2843 to $10,892 between 1969 and 2023 in 2023-dollars. [1] Healthcare spending per capita has gone from $2,151 to $14,570 in the same period in 2023-dollars. [

Over the period since the 1960s, look at education, medicine, housing, not food. For food prices, look at the most recent 5-year timescale, where price increases are reported to be on the order of 30% for American consumers. [1] [1] https:

The things that dominate middle class budgets: food, housing, medicine, education, are surprisingly local, and have become increasingly unaffordable in recent decades even as economic numbers have gone up. The question that really matters t

I told you that I hear you on K8s complexity. But since you throw out Ansible/Puppet/etc., what technology are you advocating?

by romaaeterna 2y ago
I wouldn't throw away k8s just for subPath weirdness, but I hear your general point about complexity. But if you are throwing away Ansible and Puppet, what is your solution? Also I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at with

Lol. More like Dune lifts wholesale from Sabres of Paradise, translating the stories about Imam Shamyl into space, only adding some bits of LSD inspired trippiness. If anything, Herbert toned down the historical accounts. On the other hand,

I don't know either way. If they were politically driven (some of the screenshots seem to indicate that), then I hope that they can be replaced by a more neutral body. I am also interested in the accusation of "viciously subverted

The switch from aspirate to fricative pronunciations in Greek was between 2-400AD, and was related to ongoing processes in the language unrelated to jaw change. I'm also skeptical of the only piece of data presented in the article, tha

Quickly? Countries that get into really serious debt problems more often never seem to come out of the catastrophe. This is generation-ruining stuff.

In fact the reply specifically criticizes Trump I, the administration that passed those tax breaks. Whether you consider yourself either a Democrat or a Republican, this is not a problem that continued party politics can solve.

US debt is 124% of GDP. That's not as high as UK debt after WWII, 270%, which impoverished the country that had been at the top of the world. But combined with an aging population that has more people than ever hailing from the histori

Hitler's salute doesn't involve the heart gesture, nor did Mussolini's version, which is why they flip to the random guy in a mask in your video. But it's all nonsense, even if it were exactly the same physical gesture.

Questioning the motivations and funding of a biased source is more generally viewed to be a Journalism 101 thing than a 1930s-1940s German thing. Nor am I Elon Musk, which seems to be the subtext of this "you're doing it now"

They certainly do. But languages are also very elastic. If you speak modern German, for example, you'll find that it's very similar to modern American English in thought and expression. But this was not true of late 19th-century G

On this subject, it is worth reading Tolkien's letters to publishers and translators about the translation choices regarding his works. His philology comes into full play.

If there was not a disproportionate number of trans people involved in these murders, then I hope that you can point to the specific elements of the story that were wrong.
