And yet the type of woodland in Deadpool & Wolverine appears almost exclusively in Europe, and so (given how much they’d have to go out of their way to find somewhere like that elsewhere), must be European.
If anything I’m generalising that all North American woodland is either primeval or modern plantations, but nowhere have I said that there isn’t woodland like that in Europe.
Yeah there is, it’s in the growth patterns where you can tell the trees were either planted or allowed to grow in an arrangment that maximised yield, are all very similar in age, and historically but not recently regularly trimmed for wood and sticks without chopping them down.
Asia and Africa (other than Japan, which did it with evergreen trees) historically used other materials (mainly grasses/palms), and in the Americas they used different construction methods both pre- and post-colonisation, so you don’t get (as many) old managed woodlands.
Watch Deadpool vs Wolverine. The entire woods scene was so clearly filmed in a European woodland, it ruins the whole film.
C# allows that. Scala allows that. I imagine a bunch of others do too, it’s just that Python is a scripting language so is simpler in terms of features
JavaScript is like C, you can learn close to the entire (useful) featureset in under an hour, but for some reason people like to say it’s complicated or hard to learn (dates notwithstanding because the way dates work in JS is stupid)
The border with the ocean probably, humans love to live on the crust of the land
I don’t mind strategic combat (I play Civ, BG3 on harder difficulties) but I hate grinding combat and play those games on easy.
What that means is I don’t play walking simulators. If I’m railroaded into a story, the combat better be damn good or I’m refunding the game or at best uninstalling it. I’d rather pay $100 for something like the outer worlds with a really interactive and replayable story than $20 for something like greedfall where it’s just a tv show with spamming buttons every so often.
When I get ill, sometimes I sleep for 18h straight, through alarms and everything…
You sleep more when you’re ill anyway, but what wakes you up about outdoors is light. It’s much darker inside than out by a way more than you’d think, so that’s probably why you feel awake when outside.
The $1m isn’t in cash… You forget that the average house price in London is around $900k, and for Sydney it’s $981k.
That means your pool for your car, furnishings, investments etc. are either minimal, or you have a mortgage, and definitely can’t live passively off $30-40k per year unless you’re living in cheaper than average housing (one would call this “not super wealthy”) and definitely not if you’re supporting a family.
I’m not saying the cost of living isn’t worse in the US, just that $1m is a comparatively tiny amount everywhere and that most millionaires (as there will a correlation between net worth and frequency) are frankly closer to the working class than they are to billionaires.
Most, sure, but Europe, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and more are still a significant part of the world where $1M puts you firmly in the same “well-off and comfortable, but certainly not rich in the way billionaires are” territory you’d be in the US
Worldwide, I think it’s definitely safe to say most millionaires’ lifestyles are much closer to average than they are to billionaires’ (ie still having to make regular payments for housing, but mortgage rather than rent, and still having to perform most tasks for themselves rather than having PAs to do it for them)
That’s one interpretation and implementation of free speech. The EU define it as “freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.” which would be very easy to argue includes public authorities altering the legality of receiving and/or imparting information via AI.
Fair enough it’s definitely in the EU’s best interests…
Also warning that Newsfront exists beyond even extreme bias and purely functions to sow discontent and spread misinformation

Where’s the AI artwork?
People of Color Aren’t Invited
Many are of Asian descent—a reflection of the strong presence of Asian talent in global tech
This is something I really have an issue with: they’re trying to paint it as a race thing when it’s a wealth/class thing.
They’re trying to frame it like they hate anyone non-White while I’m willing to bet good money they have nobody, White or otherwise, from places like the Deep South/other poorer places in the US, and it’s just that Latin & Black people are more likely to come from less privileged backgrounds for historical reasons than White/Asian people.
That’s not to say that racism doesn’t exist, it’s just to say that it’s definitely not the biggest factor here. Don’t buy into corporations trying to divide the working class by race, when it’s so obviously a class struggle.
yep, that would pass the criteria
Plausibly it’s trying to minimise land area with some degree of contiguity so it’s not just picking random cities though. India’s economy isn’t much bigger than the 5th or 6th economy while having substantially more territory and population.
Very good point, but oxygen is very abundant and you’ll more than likely already have oxygen generators with a level of redundancy, or be in an atmosphere with oxygen.
Also for load balancing you could constantly be splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, then react them back into water when you need a large amount of energy at once as an alternative to electrical batteries which degrades less over time, if heat is all you want at least.
All I’m saying is there’s so many applications that we’re never going to get to a level of 0.
The problem is time.
You’re just considering human spaceflight. Keeping humans alive and equally importantly sane for years is very different to sending a probe somewhere, and we’ve been getting better at the latter
The Greens also have a terrible name, they’re a left wing party that don’t particularly care about environmental issues. Meanwhile the Lib Dems just stand for whatever the government doesn’t, which changes depending on who’s in power.
If you want to know how computers work, do electrical engineering. If you want to know how electricity works, do physics. If you want to know how physics works, do mathematics. If you want to know how mathematics works, too bad, best you can do is think about the fact it works in philosophy.
