Right, so you’re just arbitrarily changing words. That’s very nice.

That seems to be what they’re doing here too. It reads almost normal to me except for not writing out “ðe” fully which is pointlessly jarring.

Why do you persist in writing “ð” rather than “ðe” for “the”? And… Do you really say æsþetic and not æstetic? Where are you from to do that?

FWIW, do not support, even as a brother up north. English spelling is broken but there are more glaring problems to fix first.

They’re still missing the “e” from “ðe”. That’s what bothers me.

This is a good read: https://ourworldindata.org/un-population-2024-revision

The new estimated global peak population is 10.3B in 2084. But now, looking at the break down by region, you may be talking about North America? That graph looks wildly 3rd world… If you edit the graph to show US and Nigeria’s 2024 projections side by side it’s samepicture.jpg

“Algorithmic timeline” might be appropriately specific?

There you go conflating Jews and Israel. Apart from that you have an arguable point.

That’s not exactly what happened. Starlink was already disabled in Crimea when the attack was launched and Musk refused to enable it specifically for the attack. Then the initial reports got a bit tangled up.

But yes, none of this should be up to Musk.

There is an alternative to getting older but you wouldn’t like it.

Twice around the hickenloop.

That’s just not true. Go to https://ev-database.org/ and compare the dry weight of the different models. You don’t add 66kg going from standard to long range in software.

There is also a dpkg command for that. Grep it for /bin/ and you’ve got your executable.

Frankly eating in all the time was a net positive, I’m in the best shape of my life

Eating out is a lot better for me after I moved to Italy, so there is that. And living in Italy and having to make do with my own cooking would be Very Sad. But yeah, context matters a lot. The Italians took this stuff very seriously the first time around and vaccination rates were really high when I was neaurotically tracking it. I should look up the annual booster rate.

I don’t know where you are, but I’d be less comfortable in an air conditioned eatery in Texas than outside a restaurant in Rome (where I was at the height). And with the current numbers I should probably start avoiding crowds and recirculated air again.

I’m fine with never eating out again.

Yeah, that would be a severe degradation of life for me, so that’s a no-go unless the probabilities shift back to where they were in 2020-22ish.

Are you waiting for something to change or will you do this for the rest of your life?

I stopped when we had as much vaccine protection as we were going to get and the virus wasn’t causing quite as severe disease any more. Forever is a long time.

The EU has declared Twitter and a few others to be gate-keepers and they will now be held to a higher standard. But I don’t think the EU is going to use this power to save US democracy.

Well played

Correct. But if we stop blowing money on Orban and his cronies, then it can be sent to Ukraine instead.
