The type of traffic shaping you are thinking off can still be done under net nutrailty and was never an issue.

Or how about this:

The body is a super complex chemical eco-system. Messing with it is understandably super difficult, if you do not want to cause damage. All drugs have side effects. Known or otherwise. Using drugs for any reason is like throwing a funnily shaped wrench in to a factory you do not fully understand. It always causes problems. In medical science we try to figure out what type of wrench causes the least destruction while providing some benefit. We then weigh the benefits against the downsides. Leave these decisions to someone that has dedicated their life to this science. Let them make educated guesses for you. Instead of you just guessing. Generally, don’t use any drug unless you have to. Stop as soon as is recommended by your doctor. Assume that any drug you use, will have a permanent, accumulative detrimental effect on the body. Just to be safe.

Feel like 24 hours is too little to do anything special with. Would have been a little more interesting question if the timespan would have been longer. A year?

Forest is pretty scary at night.

Just resetting your preferences to Microsofts preferences. They have to do that frequently; otherwise you might start to think it’s your machine.

It is clear that putin wants to go out in a big bang. He does not care how that affects his fellow humans. He is a danger to everyone.

I’m all for rehabilitation of criminals. But they also somehow have to repay what they took. Somehow they have to give 150 years back.

Legacy from a time when it was used as authentication. I guess. I sure find myself not reproducing my past signatures very well. Never got me in to trouble.

Why?

The current thing is the the stuff!

Difficult indeed. Maybe banning him from owning a computer or graphics card capable of running local models. Installing spyware on his devices. I’m sure he could get around it, undetected, for a while, if he was determined. But he would be gambling at getting caught.

To be honest I don’t really see the point. We are getting to a point where anyone can generate any image of anything at any time. Let him have his fun. We can’t sexual conversion therapy him and he isn’t hurting anyone. Ones and zeroes, bits and bytes.

For anyone who thinks conversion therapy works; imagine someone trying to convert you from your sexuality. Let’s say I tried to make you gay. Would that ever work for you?

What is this chest jewelry called?

“exceeds human performance” … in crushing whatever it is gripping, right?

Putin is cleaning Russia of its undesirable population while stealing land from its neighbours. I suspect there are many moscovites that think this is a great thing.

Only recently did Sweden change rules that had every newborn be automatically registered with the Swedish church. The majority that are registered probably never practice, nor think about or visit a church, ever, in their lives, except maybe when they get married. If you exit the church, you loose the right to have your marriage and funeral in a church. Pretty sure the 37.9% is misleading in that regard.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing?

Or the rest of the worlds politicians would size up, clench their cheeks and go “no-no-no-no”. And then do nothing, hoping it solves it self. Feels more in line with what we are seeing.

Let’s make it mandatory that 15-20% of gross sales be given directly to developers, once sales start. That would fix this. Customers can choose within that range. But let’s make it default to 20%.

Yes, the influx of people fuels economies that run on the infinite growth model, which is most economies. However, if you double your population over night, you’re gonna have a bad time. Of course the infinite growth model is also inherently unsustainable and partly responsible for our current situation.

It’s gonna fuel the largest immigration wave ever. Which in turn will fuel right wing politics and destabilise democracies, which will make solutions even more elusive, and allow decision makers more procrastination.
