I love how Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga (2004) opens up with this. But also funny how the inventors of the tech were such douchebags that they casually used it to just be there when the first mission to Mars landed. But hey, at least they didn't have to do the return trip.

There's some justification for this idea since the people who buy the products advertised by ads are the source of the money that goes to the producers of the videos.

I wonder if Tim Cook is there too. It would make sense for him and Apple to resist this at least somehow but...

The relationship between actual 1930s nazis and the arab world was kind of complex for obvious geopolitical reasons, but Palestinians pretty much generally denounced nazis. Also back when it might've been good strategy not to.

I stand corrected. I guess some people do think we're there.

Personally, I don't think we're close yet, but I agree that there could exist a better system where we'd at least be closer.

Some of these are made in Finland. I can recommend the light merino wool socks. The non-light are quite thick so if you want something for cold weathers, they work well.

They tend to shrink a bit even if you wash them correctly in low temperatures. My shoe size is 42, but the 43-45 size socks work well for me.

More like post-scarcity. I don't think even the wildest leftist thinks we're quite there yet.

Do trans people born as trans or do they become trans when they grow older? Serious question, looking for real data.

 

... anything I should be prepared to miss? I think there's pretty much just two things that are risky that I've gotten used to just working: NFC payments and streaming audio to my Tidal Connect -enabled network streamer. Should I be prepared for those not working?
