Yup. We have several-hundred-year-old medieval French recipes specifying ‘the juice of the almond’ if cow milk is not available.

‘Greed is an unlimited resource’ absolutely slaps.

So you actually count by segments of the finger, using your thumb as a tapper. Crook your index finger and look at it - three segments, right? (At least for most people) The segment nearest your hand is 1, middle is 2, end is 3. Middle finger is 4, 5, 6, etc. So you can count up to 12 on four fingers.

Then you use your non-dominant hand to mark dozens. Count to 12 on your main hand, raise on finger on your second hand, repeat. So you can actually count to 60 just on your hands.

It ain’t the emissions, it’s the land use. About 40% of the USA’s land is used for animal agriculture. Another 8% is for literally all the other crops. Stop eating meat, and we could return about a third of the land in the US to nature, or other uses. That’s a lot of carbon capture / solar power plants etc.

Alright, everyone post your opinions.

I think Base 12 is superior to Base 10 for human use.

We could get most of the way to stopping climate change by just not eating meat.

Also, I liked Mass Effect 3 more than 1 or 2.

Oh no! This dastardly Europeans wanted to come here and work! How dare they! Deport them!

This country was cooked a long time ago.

So it’s an even better use case for high-speed rail, is what you’re saying.

Thanks, I hate it.

Oh so they’re LLMs, got it.

…thay actually makes a lot of things nake a lot of sense.

Well shit, I’m dumb.

China limits social media because they repress free speech and political association. TikTok and other social media was a huge part of why there was such an outcry over the invasion of Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza. They doubly limit what kids can see because students are often hugely influential in political activism - especially in China, where students were an integral part of both the revolution(s) and Tiananmen Square. China’s gov is pants-shittingly terrified of another student-led revolution/crisis/etc and keep a very close watch on what the kids are saying and seeing.

Stupid. Kids are more informed and hooked into current events than ever before, specifically because of phones and the Internet. Hell, half of most peoples’ jobs are looking up reference material online. You want kids to succeed, hand them a big list of the best places to look for the answers and let them use their phones on the test.

Hello, I would like to buy one infrastructure please.

Cool, we’ll stick them on the thousands of square miles of natural habitat that we set aside for megapredators, since they need a huge amount of prey to support themselves.

What’s that? It’s all been turned into Bubba’s Pig Farm? Huh, maybe we should deal with that first.

Because the problem isn’t gone. Their opinions haven’t changed, they are just finally seeing personal impact from them. These people are going to fall for the same stupid shit another Trumpalike touts in 2032. They need intensive reeducation, not to be welcomed and treated like nothing happened.

Most likely some shit about investing in the stock market, because both parties are so infauted with ‘line must go up’ that they will burn the entire planet and our society to ground to make it happen.

Besides that, the Democrats have lukewarm beliefs about tolerance and fair treatment, while the Republicans want a strictly hierarchal theocracy, so they’d probably agree to see other people.

Gotion High-Tech’s “Articles of Association” required the firm to establish a “Party organization and carry out Party activities in accordance with the Constitution of the Communist Party of China.”

Yah, because they’re based in China. They have to follow the Chinese constitution. The same way American companies can’t violate the American constitution. ‘Party activities’ just means ‘doing business’ because that is how communism works. Smh my head.

If your definition of a ‘sane, competent’ government is one that continues to rabidly support an ongoing genocide, I want none of it.

Not wrong. But I will point out that this will funnel a lot more money to China, which has been investing much more heavily in greentech than the US has. So overall it could actually be a plus - for climate change at least.
