Well this certainly explains why whenever I open Fox News lately along with all the pop-ups to invest in gold, and Dr. Oz’s Miracle Cures, there’s suddenly a huge push by McDonald’s in conjunction with 7/11 touting the new and apparently delicious Piss McFlurry.

Whether or not Starship as such succeeds, Super Heavy still looks sound, though, right? (Cynical as I am about things Musk, re-using a stage that big will be a fantastic milestone.)
SpaceX's big challenges seem to me to be to avoid crashing with Musk. His shoot-from-the-lip ridiculousness tends to tar SpaceX's approach to development, which legitimately includes tolerance for early failures. & there seem to be growing cultural issues that could hamper them going foward.
@FeralRobots@Tallish_Tom Superheavy has flown, and at this point it has completed two flight cycles as a disposable first stage. Even if it's not reusable (yet) it's viable. Starship is also viable as a disposable second stage. The hard part seems to be re-entry and landing.
Frankly, Starship/Superheavy is very close to being a Saturn-V class one-shot disposable launcher at a tenth the real-money price, which alone would be a triumph. Add reusability and refueling and it'd be revolutionary.
Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol
I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money
@sue It's gives off the same energy as FediBros getting bitchy when an small artist/indie-dev are promoting their game. I get disliking ads that track everybody and some the ads in question are scams but to get annoyed at someone sharing their work hoping that someone would buy it so they can make money to live is crazy.
@gvwilson@sue I've been rolling code for 24 years and have had a "do good" job only once, and that was for a non-profit.
Capitalism and the profit model are the problem, not the individual's attempt to cleave capitalism from the web. Obviously, we all need to eat, but the idea that even a small portion of people -- let alone everyone could do Good and be paid for it under capitalism is fantasy.
@Flobzh Il faut arrêter ce genre de calcul pété pour les indépendants, médecin ou autres. Même sur une journée, tu manges et tu vas pissé quand là …
Quand est ce que tu te formes, quand est ce tu prends des vacances, quand est ce que tu gères l'administratif, la compta, le secrétariat (ou que tu payes pour quelqu'un le fasse). Quand est ce que tu es malades ?
Il n'y a pas de chômage, des congés maladies avec 7 jours de carences… @anomaluridae@GreenWitch@oschwand@ciredutempsEsme
@iergo@anomaluridae@GreenWitch@oschwand@ciredutempsEsme mais bienvenue dans le monde du travail, dans une usine tu vas pas aux toilettes quand tu as envie. On est beaucoup à faire 8h de travail effectif par jour.
On a 4 jours de carences pour le moment, le gouvernement veut en rajouter.
The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.
Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.
The ozone could have a huge hole.
We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.
@Osteopenia_Powers@knowuh@futurebird I'm just old enough to remember what LA was like in the 90's, it's not exactly perfect now but it was BAD then. Any time youd drive into the basin the air was literally yellow and there was a thick layer of permanent haze constantly over the city. There's very good reason CA has such strict emissions requirements and fuel requirements, and because such a high % of cars in the US are in CA many other states without such laws got some of the benefits as well.
indie gamedev is spending 3-5 years working on a game with probably at least a couple other people and then you release it and if youre fairly lucky you gross like 20-80 thousand US dollars which works out to $5000 a person a year before tax. it's a very cool and sustainable industry
@sinbad@eniko And speaking about this ( making tools ) someone once told me "why don't you license your tools or make tools ?" .. and the answer is "because I don't want to become IDIOT having to support/listen/deal with all those that would use the tools to make games I would like to make but can't because now I support tools !" Also "our tools are too weird" they are made "only for us" most people would horrify/complain/not use them if they'd see them .. they are not intended "for others" 😐
@gilesgoat@eniko I guess everyone's different - turns out I'm quite good at making tools for other people; I'm probably better at it than games 😄. It helps that I actually enjoy writing documentation, and figuring out how to improve my tools based on real-world feedback from different scenarios. I really like seeing what people make with my tools
@blablux
Oui. Je dis pas que tu dis ça mais le problème avec cette approche/formule, c'est que trop souvent "les personnes qui peuvent mais ne font pas" ça dérape sur "les quartiers populaires / les pauvres font pas assez d'effort" (encore une fois j'ai compris que tu ne voulais pas dire ça).
C'est aussi pour ça que j'ai réagis. Parce que je suis convaincue que vu comment fonctionne la société actuellement, c'est pas les individualités dans leur coin qui vont changer les choses.
C'est le gouvernement qui met en place des financements, c'est les collectivités locales qui rendent accessible les containers ou promeuvent des initiatives. C'est les entreprises qui changent de fonctionnement (en admettant qu'on reste dans le capitalisme, ce qui sera forcément le cas au début)
Et je suis convaincue que si les gens (mes parents par exemple) prenaient la force qu'iels mettent à taper sur les "personnes qui peuvent mais font pas" et la mettaient à la place à faire du lobbying citoyen auprès des entreprises / décisions gouvernementales problématiques, ça irait un peu plus vite.
@francescuG@belore Ah mais la France entière a produit des poubelles, m'enfin sur Marseille y a quand même présomption qu'ils font un peu exprès quand même.
Q: During that time period, do you recall having issues with Freidman bc of his financial situation?
A: Bc of the entire taxi industry financial situation.
Blanche says he's not interested in talking about the entire taxi industry, but I, for one, would love to do just that.
@StillIRise1963 I warned people to look at the markets over the next few months. There are a lot of things happening that shouldn't. In the next few months there will be a lot fewer solvent people than there were before.
I am fairly confident there are a tremendous amount of very shitty people out there trying to take financial advantage of this chaos. They are going to have some serious problems once he and the rest of the MAGA leadership cash out.
Mir ist ja letzte Woche der #Fahrrad-Sattel (+Stange) geklaut worden. Gibt's in der #Fahrradbubble Tipps und best practices, wie ich sowas in Zukunft verhindern kann? "Mitnehmen" ist leider nicht immer praktikabel.
Da es um ein Faltrad (Tern D7i) geht und daher Höhenverstellung der Sattelstütze ein tagtäglicher Vorgang ist, sind irgendwelche abschließbaren Schrauben oder whatever auch keine Option, die Sattelstütze hat halt nen Schnellspanner.
@korenchkin@schmittlauch Das sieht praktisch aus, danke. (Und ist wahrscheinlich ein super Fidget-Tool.)
Ich glaube was mich an Pitlock et al hauptsächlich stört ist dass ich den Sattel zwar nicht täglich, aber schon recht oft hoch und runter verstellen muss zum Einklappen, mein Rad aber nur ziemlich selten wirklich ungeschützt irgendwo steht, sondern meist im Keller, im Womo oder im Hausflur aufm Dorf. Echten Diebstahlschutz brauch ich nur selten.
Iran makes all those high tech weapons, and still using choppers almost as old as me.
Whatever can go wrong, eventually will go wrong.
Definitely would not get in a copter that's my age unless the ground I'm standing on is about to send me to my grave.
Kobi Bryant and his daughter Gianna were in one of the best we have today when it hit a hillside in fog.
Either way a power vacuum has been created in Iran for a while. Could be coincidence, could be IDK 🤷🏼
Next couple months???
از یه کلینیک وقت گرفته بودم اصرار داره واتساپ داشته باشم که برام یکسری ویس توضیحات رو بفرسته! گفتم فقط تلگرام دارم قبول نکرد.
تهش برگشت گفت تماس میگیرم بهتون توضیحات رو میگم! :0060:
@alyx Ah non je pense vraiment que c'est juste quelques personnes qui font chier. Parfois sans s'en rendre compte et parfois pour "choquer". Perso je ne suis pas là pour ca donc je bloque ou masque et voilà !
Je sais que c'est important de parler de l'actualité et tout mais perso c'est juste de l'angoisse mdr
Et je ne suis pas là pour ca ! Donc je préfère garder le positif ici
