it ocr’s the image and checks if it contains a long number and the word “anonymous”.

yes really

sure but there was no way that wouldn’t have been thrown out.

…what kind of brain damage did the rep have to think that was a viable defense? surely their human customer service personnel are also responsible for their own actions?

ah yes, government advertising.

and if it does i’ll change my tune. i already don’t like the man.

did they see any since then?

i thought neutrinos were getting less attention because the huge japanese neutrino detector exploded

because stallman can never fucking shut up about anything.

yeah i’ve followed the entire conversation for years. he’s not fit to run the fsf but he’s also not done anything illegal. when i read the interview in which he explained that he rescinded his statements on relations with people who are underage after consulting with a psychologist, i read it as the words of someone who lives in a completely rules-based world: he did not believe it would cause harm because there was nothing in his experience thus far that pointed to that. after having it explained to him by a professional, he changed his mind. the man has no tact, he runs entirely and completely on rationalism. when new information comes up that puts his beliefs into question, his beliefs align with that information almost instantly. but if the source is not authoritative, he disregards it. it’s a very useful form of neurodivergence for a scientist, but not for a public figure.

no, rms the autist with no ability to read the room. he’s never been a pedo, he just has permanent foot-in-mouth disease.

that also sounds like sweden

my family’s house is in a village of around seven households. we have our own well and septic tank. power lines are still underground.

is there supposed to be an image in your comment? anyway, some more specific numbers then.

the stockholm region, the most populated area of sweden, is a bit less than twice the size of the city of houston TX, with about the same population of 2.3 million people. but the population density of the area is about 1/4th that of houston, at 380/km² compared to 1400.

meanwhile the norrbotten region, the most sparsely populated area, is just above alaska in population density.

then why does geographical location matter?

you should probably look into how the ecosystem of australia has changed through the years.

we don’t really get storms like that.

i mean we still have aerial lines for high voltage.

when it’s killed off everything filling its niche so the ecosystem reaches a new equilibrium. which may not ever happen, depending ot the situation.

all the power generation is in the north

just like sweden.
