Probably realizing that Democrats can now trace who bought MAGA hats and they too have guns.

Yeah, I keep wondering when I last used a plastic bag. These days it's either prepackaged, directly in the shopping bag or a paper bag.

But he cares about exporting grain as that means power and leverage for him, and that grain as now being trampled by half a million animals.

People brought up to hate gay and who are in fact gay fight their feelings every day and think everybody else has the same internal fight so they think being tough is the only way to remove the seduction.

That's why you have chatGPT to make any reply you do into a mess of shortened words. And to translate it to normal text again.

There are ways around that so they're are no cash transfers. Let's say we give evey citizen emissions rights each month, that allows you to release a certain amount of CO2 (and other stuff). We've got AI and automation for measuring, accounting and detecting cheating. If you're rich and want to fly that private jet, buy emission rights for it, from people that have some unused.

From there on it's just the market taking over. Live frugal and clean means you got yourself an income. Love to travel to the other side of the planet every weekend? Pay up. And it keeps pollution in check.

The imperial system makes you a worse shot. Everybody in American stories misses by inches. In European stories, they miss by millimeters. It's quite the difference: 25 times worse.

I usually ask the client how much they think it would cost to paint that wall. Then I ask how much it would cost to move the window a meter to the side too. It shouldn't be much as you already working on the wall anyway.

Where I went, they also completely recreated the living space around it for the different era. The wallpaper, the furniture, even a soldering iron for the electronics enthousiast, it all matched perfectly. That was a nostalgia trip.

Edit:

See if this triggers your nostalgia: A, B and C from here

That would mean:

  1. Rotating habitats, up to entire cities rotating, to generating additional gravity

  2. Pressurized buildings, so you´ll be living inside your entire life.

  3. Living underground.

But if you like living in an underground city, you can build one on Earth too. It would be a good proof of concept before doing the same on another planet.
