They tried to move it out of port and it immediately sank perhaps?

Exactly. Violence begets violence.

Could always do the UK model (Currently being used on the NHS) The workers keep their jobs and the state/public still pay for everything but the workers are now magically actually employed by a private company that extracts profit by charging the government for stuff it was already doing without providing anything whatsoever.

Nah that’d be other animals, if you just count large mammals then yeh humans probably beat out everything else combined but predators of rodents, small sea creatures and insects almost certainly outdo us by orders of magnitude.

tbf the calculated speed is actually roughly the minnimum based on its starting position and the frame it appeared in. it could have actually been going even faster.

Heave ho for rock and stone, Bend your backs to take your goal…

Hey hey, there’s a flourishing market for NSFW ai chatbots that I’m sure is raking in the cash essentially re-selling access credits at a higher price.

My reasoning is we should do both, nuclear and renewables both have useful properties in the short and long term and the idea we can’t afford both seems ridiculous when we can apparently spend huge amounts of money on things like space tourism and giving amazon more money back in rebates than they paid in taxes to begin with.

Thing is this has been said for longer than I’ve been alive, and will probably still be said after I’m dead, in the intervening 70-80 years we could have and could be actually building the damn things.

That’s what the rolling back of child labour laws are for.

Pizza is not a neccesity but at the end of the day we can’t expect everyone under 30 who doesn’t have well off parents to live on beans and rice. People aren’t robots and while no individual luxury is a neccesity, luxuries as a whole are a neccesity to some degree.

Is it illegal to scrape? I mean most companies and governments scrape huge amounts of data all the time without getting anyones permission, hell the entire business of a search engine is basically WeScrape4U.

6 gig of ram on a browser!? wtf people close your old tabs.

Well now he’s calling for a new election in the UK (presumably to put the right wing bac in) so looks like he’s not happy with just proxy ruling America.

Ooh ooh! And then the next one is “They deserve it because they take on all the risk”! while getting endless bailouts and complete immunity from all liability.

We have the same FPTP 2 party issue as the US.

Ok so counter-argument, the UK is also a terrible example when it comes to getting things done (safely or not), our government is even worse than the United States when it comes to intentionally fucking up and delaying things in order to funnel public funds into the hands of donors/cronies. Hell we’re already projected to spend more on a high speed rail project that isn’t even high speed by the standards of anywhere else on earth than the EU is spending on their entire half a continent spanning rail network upgrades.

Honestly I think lunar gateway is a decent idea, Its the easiest thing to do thats new as far as space is concerned and thus potentially the cheapest way to gain international co-operation, public interest, and potentially ignite another space race. Looking forward it can can potentially act as a life raft for any future lunar colonies in the event of a mishap. And while a moon colony isn’t as impressive as a mars one its much safer to practice on given that emergency re-supply can actually get there before the crew are already skeletonized. A moon base itself can then act as support for moon based telescopes (which have significant advantages, and disadvantages of course) and if you can get some kind of manufacturing going its far easier to launch from the moon than it is from earth, even if the moon just ends up as a glorified space gas station.

This channel looks kinda sus but the clip is just a re-post and highly relevant. https://youtu.be/KFyxDKw6DZc

Or that charisma is the only important main stat, and deception/peursasion are the best skills.
