What about a cars with 500k lumen headlights and the ability to go faster than anything you’ve ever seen without even having legs?

Yeah put it across from the model of MH370, by the photo of JFK getting shot

They say we can stand on the shoulders of giants, but first we gotta climb a friggin giant

One comment I saw eons ago explained it, it went something like this

“Imagine theres a group called Team-No-Bad-Guy. They gather to yell to stop people doing bad guy things. You don’t like those people that they yell at, but you don’t like the non-yelling methods Team-No-Bad-Guy uses sometimes. Team-No-Bad-Guy hears you say this and calls you a bad guy and begin yelling at you. You realize that they can call anyone bad guys and you wonder how things would be for you after the big bad guys were gone.”

ADSB exchange is the go-to

Now is my chance to share a useless fun fact! If there is a V-22 Osprey on the map the icon will change from helicopter mode to plane mode depending on airspeed

I’ve never seen an artist so over AND underrated at the same time

(I don’t know the lore and don’t care to but in my opinion she’s okay. Not great, not horrible, just okay. And that’s okay)

“Longer winters means less mosquitoes!”

“What about the rest of the year?”

“…”

That reminds me there’s a game called Shadows of Doubt! You are a detective in a dystopian cyber noir world where corporations run everything.

Anyway they just added a mode to have the damned snail always after you while you’re trying to take on jobs and solve crimes

I’m not against them, but I wonder how EVs will hold up in the long haul. Like in 20 years will there even be a feasible used market or will the batteries and motors be too shitty without a crazy expensive replacements to keep them practical?

And then there’s the scrapping process for batteries too. Can batteries be refurbished, scrapped or recycled in a way that most regions can do it?

Like LEDs I know they CAN be built to last a long time, but I know companies often don’t

This is similar to how the hunger games ends. Generations of people suffered and died in the meadows where little kids could now play in peace.

In this case of the comic it’s tourists discovering a mass grave of people that used to live where they are vacationing so yeah changes the tone a bit

It’s setting the stage. It doesn’t do much on it’s own but if you recognize them as a state rather than just some people it gives leverage to use more diplomatic tools.

How much difference will it actually make? No idea.

This reminds me of metal gear solid 3

So what would be your recommendation instead?

A lot of people use substack

It was made for the colonists

Indubitably

EDF! EDF!

Yep, cities are great because there’s almost always someone you can call on to get problems dealt with almost immediately. Police, fire, utilities, landlords, homeless shelters, therapists, hospitals, exterminators etc etc

In the country you simply don’t have that. Churches are basically community centers. The govt doesn’t have a huge role so country people are okay with smaller government. Cities can’t imagine life with a smaller government because they rely on it in tons of ways to keep society functioning

Many people in cities think something like owning a gun without the intent to commit a crime is insane because they can call the cops.

Many people in the country think not having a gun around for emergencies is insane because any first responder is 15-40 minutes away, and until then you and your neighbors are it

Like you said it’s not so much right vs left but city vs rural mindsets

I think it was LA? If I remember right people were calling and observatory and some people thought they were UFOs
