Plenty of people hunt for food. Lead ammo should be avoided though.

I got some news on you from a friend
you’re in Charlotte again
teaching Spanish at high school

he said you’re going by Joy
you cut your hair like a boy
& you don’t talk to your old friends

I found a picture from before the fight
we’re in natural light
& you’re sitting on my lap
like everything’s alright

I’ve walked around with you on my mind
the names we used at the time
you know I’ve changed myself since then

I’ve thought on things that we said
what if we’d had the kid
I guess he’d be 15

I found a picture from before the fight
we’re in natural light
& you’re sitting on my lap
like everything’s alright

Yet to varying extents, they all do.

The problem with the pro-Brexit crowd is that they’ll never admit fault. The reason Brexit isn’t a huge success is down to their own personal vision of Brexit not being implemented, not because the idea was fucking delusional to begin with.

Yes, looking at the reaction to the Epstein fallout around the world, the US is an outlier.

The convention is that the royal family don’t use these powers unilaterally. There’s an unspoken agreement here that they get to keep their palaces and fancy lifestyle on the understanding that they keep out of politics and legal issues so while Charlie could in theory do something like this, he also knows that if he did, it would pretty much signal the end of the monarchy in the UK.

He can’t do that.

They didn’t.

“The Press Association is reporting that neither King Charles nor Buckingham Palace was informed in advance of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest.”

It reminds me of the documentary Hypernormalisation, well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.

“The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (2006), which describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s. He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society. Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation”

I’m also a coffee expert in that I drink a shit ton of it and this is my vote.

I’d love to see the numbers for computers with it immediately uninstalled.

Step 1: Start with lots of money

Step 2: Find a bunch of other rich idiots willing to invest their money.

Anyone remember A Very Peculiar Practice? I watched again recently, it still holds up.

No, Trump is almost supernaturally stupid but Farage isn’t. He’s a nasty, evil, racist piece of shit but he’s not a moron.

Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?

That’s the problem. For now at least, we’re at the end of “new tech make line go up”. Crypto wasn’t it, neither were NFTs, LLMs are no different. All the low hanging fruit was picked a while back so they’re stuck trying to make us believe that there’s a Next Big Thing just around the corner when, at best, there’s some fairly niche and difficult to monetize tech requiring vast resources to work.

Corrected, thanks!

We even have small nuclear reactors that can use spent fuel from the larger ones, thus solving in part the disposal of it.

Do we? Last I heard there aren’t any in service.

Furthermore, significant advances have been achieved on fision power.

We’ll need a hell of a lot more advances before fusion is even close to powering a grid.
