You can’t really just nationalize things, and there are alternatives to starlink.

It’s often their role to sort of placate those in charge and just ride it out.

They don’t have the mass to have multiple stomachs like a proper cow

Artificially plant and water the trees. Gather a lot or pile of branches for dead wood, one of the defining parts of an old growth forest.

It does have Bluetooth on and you can’t turn it off . But the wifi setting can be turned off

It’s more about a minimum of weight or pressure that affects it. So the higher the pressure the more likely it is to flex the road where a small vehicle with light pressure might not make it flex at all. The heavier it is the more the weight will flex the subsurface and cause more damage.

“To give you an example of that impact, let’s do a quick calculation. Here in New Zealand, the heaviest vehicle allowed on (some of) our roads is the 50MAX truck. It has nine axles and a total weight of 50 tonnes, so the load-per-axle is 5.55 tonnes. The best-selling car in NZ in 2022 was the Mitsubishi Outlander. It weighs 1.76 tonnes, so its load-per axle is 0.88 tonnes. The fourth-power law says that to calculate the relative stress that these two vehicles apply to a road, you take the ratio of their loads-per-axle and raise the result to the fourth power. In this case, (5.55 / 0.88)4 = 1582. In practical terms, it means that a 50MAX truck applies as much stress to a road as 1,582 cars (or quite literally billions of bicycles)”

People are migrating there, but if there’s not a lot of content then the few people that really push out a lot of content because they make money will be very prominent.

It’s still better than the 1930s, low bar that it is.

Being and Nothingness and Being and Time are the books you want on this. That’s a 1000 pages by Sartre and Heidegger and the core documents of existentialism.

Have I read it all? Fuck no, this shit is hard to read. I once reread a page 8 times and still didn’t get it.

Changing the main character perspective half way is actually the weirdest part

That won’t work, because building a new factory takes 2-5 years and if the tariffs drop at any point then you’re stuck with a product way more expensive that nobody will buy.

No I mean it wouldn’t be possible to make them here, if you tried to build a series of factories they would not have enough workers. It’s like an order of magnitude scale difference, the largest industrial plant in the US is 30k workers and in China the big one for iPhones is 350k. And that is 350k people working super long hours. Even in China labor isn’t plentiful anymore, there is shortages of labor in the coastal areas. You try to hire a staffing firm and tell them you want 300k skilled workers in a city and they’ll just laugh at you.

It’s not about the price. There just isn’t enough capacity and workers to build that many.

No. Even a large tariff on a 3$ piece of plastic that retails for 20-30 won’t be worth adding anything.

Graphics cards only come with one HDMI port though. The LG OLED is popular for 4k screens because it ticks all the boxes and is much cheaper than equivalent gaming monitors, but that means it doesn’t support dp.

And it means that you have to upgrade the graphics card just for the cable even if it is still relatively new. The point is that we shouldn’t be held back by just a cable .

I think you could have a second connector in addition to a main USBC.

Honestly we need higher capacity for screen cables for PC. Both HDMI and display port are limiting performance because of their low, 40-80gbps, bandwidth. Their performance maxes out at 4k120hz with uncompressed HDR color. You can’t use 8k screens or multiple 4k screens without lowering quality.

Not that they don’t get along, just that there is a difference in normal regionally.

There’s regional and cultural differences, famously brusque NYC and easy going west coast in particular.

It should be easy to get updates with a little hacky help, they’ll be available on the long term support schedule.

Most people recognize that communism as an actual government has been trash, but do strongly support the Nordic model with capitalism coupled with socialist-lite pro worker policies. Free trade and capitalism makes so much money that you can’t do without it, but it does suck for workers because all the money ends up with the owner class. A pro people socialist-lite Nordic model helps everyone but it needs the money from free trade to afford it.

I do understand the difference between communism as an ideal model that only comes after socialism but that’s not how it is used in the real world.
