Yeah, that's exactly why the Imperium should embrace Chaos. Chaos has been advocating for the survival of the Imperium for a long time and are actually the good guys. They got so close with the Horus Heresy but the Imperium, being the conservatives they are, decided that it wouldn't be the best.

Chaos will give the Empire the power it needs and usher in a new golden age of prosperity and will bring all those filthy Xenos to heel. The Empire is dying, but for it to live the Emperor needs to die. Death to the false emperor. ☀️

To expand on that it was during the enlightenment in the early renaissance where people had a boner over the Roman Empire but still thought the medieval Roman Empire (Byzantine) to not be cool. So they came up with a new name for it. A declining empire that had a massive beauracracy, spoke Greek and had the wrong brand of Christianity (Orthodox) is not nice enough to create a glorious image like the Pax Romana did.

This of course made a lot of people upset in the then Ottoman empire since they identified as Romans but were not counted as Romans according to western people. Think "You're not Romans with a glorious history, you're Byzantines" even though they clearly were.

For extra fun the Byzantine/Roman distinction is also unfair.

  • Eastern Rome always spoke Greek, even at 200AD.
  • Orthodox and Catholic were the same pre-schism.
  • During the decline of the Western Empire the capital was moving a lot anyway so "based in Rome" was soon outdated.
  • During the decline Italy was just another province anyway so "based in Italy" was soon outdated.
  • They were literally the same thing except one half managed to fuck their shit up while getting invaded by hordes of tribes at the same time.

Wouldn't be surprised if Palestinians bring the their homeless numbers down. Helping people in need is a very cultural thing over here. See Jordan right next to Palestine.

Yeeeah, it's not going to be environmentally friendly, probably the opposite. In the lab grown meat discussions people seem to forget how incredibly efficient cows are at converting biomass to muscle.

For lab grown meat you'd need a circulation system that can reach all parts of the meat and provide it with enough nutrients, proteins, supplements and all that while also removing by-products such as ammonia that result from chemical processes in the cells.

So you'll end up needing a circulation system, immune system, bones for the meat to not get crushed by it's own weight ideally, recycling system like the liver and logistical system to back everything up, and that's assuming the whole process will be energy efficient.

Adding a brain to it makes essentially gives you all parts of a cow except the cow can largely produce the meat without any oversight and will do all the nutrient differential equations automatically.

We're still decades away from being able to scale this up while being within the same order of magnitude in cost. It's far easier to do a decade of chemistry and biology on textured soy meat to perfectly replicate the flavor, texture and nutrient profile of cow meat. This shouldn't come as a shock since plants are more efficient than animals in creating protein.

I'm personally hoping for genetically modified soy beans that have good amount of the amino acid leucine which is lacking in most plant protein.

Sidenote: We are close to fixing the methane emissions of cows by feeding them a supplement mixed with the feed.

That's true, I shouldn't since I'm not vegan.

What does the world think of India?

I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the...

  • Massive potential
  • Nationalistic
  • Somewhat racist
  • Unfair caste system
  • Not enough bathrooms
  • Poverty and hunger
  • Extremely rich people
  • Excellent food
  • Food poisoning
  • Nice people
  • Misogynistic
  • Rich history
  • Modi vs INDIA election
  • Smart pivot to service sector
  • Tata steel
  • Lots of languages
  • Diverse nature

Going to be a superpower soon if they manage to create a robust middle class and get some nice institutions up and running. India is doing good but it's hard to manage a country on that scale without being, like, China.

Isn't that just multi-track drifting?

Does anyone know what EU political group the 30% party belongs to? Fidesz is unaffiliated but I'm hoping that this 30% voted for S&D or at least Renew.

The result basically ends with Ukraine being top priority but climate is in the backseat. :/

Here are the results, you need to scroll down to see party-by-party details. They are members of the EPP (standard EU center-right conservative)

For a proper answer you'd have to look up the plastic type and check for conditions where it would degrade. Plastics vary a lot by type and conditions of storage and exposure to sunlight.

As an example you could probably keep a container of polypropylene (code 5) or HDPE (code 2) with salt for at least 5 years in a dry dark place without any concern. Salt can still scratch the outside of the container and cause minor plastic pollution if shaken every now and then for 5 years.

However, if you want to make the salt last for your whole life then a glass/ceramic/stainless steel containers are the way to go. The life of the salt would then be mostly limited by moisture in the air so if you manage to make a design of the lid to allow airflow around a package of silica or rice you'll have your forever container.

Triangle. In all honesty piano/keyboard is great. It has basic music theory built in.

Some civilians get killed unfortunately. When you already killed 2% of the population, half of which are children, it's genocide.

Yeah

That's not really viable in the US voting system. You need a third party that concentrates on a smaller number of voters to get some seats. The president is a single winner first past the post so voting in primaries is the only way to vote for something you want.

There's still a case where forcing republicans to take a more centrist approach by beating them consistently is good. Then dems would need to diversify with better policies.

Voting system in the US is pure garbage. You'll need a lot of independents to get ranked choice, then proportional voting system to have any real choice.

I agree, they simply put all the blame on the West for the world's problems no matter what it is and to be fair I often agree with those statements.

It's just purely idiotic to support another country going the same thing and denying facts such as Russia invaded Ukraine.

I'm a socialist, somewhat left of a standard social democrat in the EU, but fuck, these guys are giving the whole ideology a bad name. There are still some recent movements that are good such as solarpunk, degrowth, minimalism, third spaces and tool libraries. I hope the Gen Z and Alpha get in on those so they can vote out our generation of rampant consumerism and privatisation.

I think the word "terrorist" is not a good word here. It was a mentally ill individual with an unknown motive.

We probably need more Indians then to balance out the time zones

There are some really good ones that I remember after reading this thread such as Hades, Slay the Spire and more.

It might look weird but they do work. Since Ukraine was low on conventional anti tank ammo they started using a lot of drones as the only way to take down tanks.

This is protecting the most vulnerable parts of the tank from RPG warheads commonly used on kamikaze drones by having them detonate further from the body of the tank. Now more drones are needed per tank to take it down.

olafurp ,

I do these all the time.

This one is a bit trickier than usual but thinking 2, 5 and a number that adds up to 8.

02 + 05 + ? = 8

The sequence of 2, 5, 8 is also very nice since you get the subsequent numbers by adding 3s

Swiggity swooty the oil lobby is coming for your booty

olafurp ,

In all honesty they could use this tax and an extra oil tax to subsidise the shit out of solar and EVs

olafurp ,

I mean, there is a case for discussing gas prices since it's the price of mobile energy for everything from tractors to trucking to electricity. The gas price, specifically crude oil price, used to be synonymous with energy prices so any increase in oil price would mean a major hit to cost-of-living increases.

It's outdated as hell.

I would argue you need unions more. There's no minimum wage in Iceland because we have people who negotiate it for us.

Oxidative stress is a major factor in health and longevity. People who stop breathing oxygen before dieing generally live a bigger proportion of their lives healthy on average.

Anectodally is getting a lot better recently. Quantity and quality is increasing and number of upvotes per post on frontpage is also increasing.

Maybe be more specific?

For traveling I would suggest a laptop to behave as a server but the IP address changes a lot when traveling.

I'd personally opt for something hosted at home if possible like Nextcloud and Jellyfin with static IP and port forwarding to access on the go.

Tbh though, if you just want storage on the go buying a portable 1-4TB drive that connects via USB-C is enough.

It sets a good precedent, bottom towing wrecks havoc on unstudied ecosystems.

There are usually some ground cover plants that will do very well in most climates without watering. The clover is one example for temperate climates.

Next step is drivers that allow switching on/off components of the phone through systemd to save battery. Proper drivers are the only major missing piece for Linux phone OS right now.

When Linux phone comes with lasting battery and fast waydroid I'll switch.
