Thank you!

I also find it strange how easily everybody just abandoned their traditions and started to support Black Panther.

Killmonger was the legitimate heir both because of his lineage and because of the right of combat

I mean if there was an impartial historian writing about what happened, they would write Black Panther took the power back by an coup.

Same. Got a tablet when i changed mobile operator.

Only good use i found for it was to look recepies when cooking.

Well in any case. RIP in peace Spirit Airlines.

Only thing in solar that worries me is the reliability. It almost always needs some auxialary power to reliable smooth the lows and ups.

That said Afrika as a continent is pretty reliable for solar power all year around. Average is something like 325 days of bright sunlight annually. Cell network is pretty critical system tough, so as long as there is some fallback plan in case of failure i think this is excelent use for solar.

I have always loved the saying: Lie, outrageous lie, statistic.

Data is a wonderfull thing, but it often can be really easily to be presented in a way, that while being true, is not representing the truth.

Like if we would just look the numbers containing just necessities and remove the luxury products it would not be that lopsided.

It was pretty rough at start. Especially when we were not sure whats happening and after we did, we did not know how the medication was going to effect as it varies a lot person to person, but luckily it has been effective for my dad.

It has also been tough because the cancer effects the immune system, so if i have made plans to travel to home and i get runny nose i need to cancel the trip. Especially because when the medicine stops being effective the cancer will develope quickly, so every time i miss a birthday or christmas, there is possibility that it could be the last one we get.

Since mom has retired now too, they have beem doing lots of travelling and they have come to terms with the disease they are pretty much living to the fullest while his is still fit to travel.

Big suprice was that the disease actually revealed useful side of facebook. There is support group of people having the same disease. It helped dad a lot to understand he should not just stop living his life because of the sickness. The group is little eerie tough as for the obvious reason people in there may suddenly just disapear.

Im thinking more like 200 seats divided by province or state or what ever is applicable and voting only representatives from your own area so it would be pretty close to parlamentic elections we have here now.

Democratic-lottocracy where the canditades are drawn from the elligble population, but where people vote who they want to represent them in senate would be fire.

Bonus points if the terms end at different times. Like if there would be 200 seats and 4 years terms, there would be elections for 50 seat every year.

My dad has a cancer that has no cure. He will eventually die because it, but the medication has given he a few good years so far and hopefully he has few more in him.

Well i havent downvoted you during this conversation…

And you must be somewhat intrested in what im saying because you take your time and respond to my arguments.

And id like to think that given good enough argument i could change my mind.

I think we perceive the downvote differently. I dont think it means shut up. Its a binary choise. (Or ternary because no voting is choice too). There is hardly enough substance to interpret any intention behind it. Its just something people press, when somebody dont have anything to add to the discussion, or they dont have time to write their own comment.

It’s my idea of social-media utopia and this small feature would make it possible.

This is the fundamental part we seem to disagree with. I dont think its “utopia”, i think its facade, that only creates personal echochambers for people guarding them from seeing any opposing opinions.

I disagree. Its not fine tuning. Its fundamentally changing it.

I firmly belive that if we are ready to write anything on to a public channel, in this case even with anonymity, we need to be ready to accept critique and the fact that people will sometimes disagree with you. Also there will always be irrelevant, or snarky comments, but as a adult we should be able to ignore those. If you are not ready to accept it, you should reflect with yourself, if you should even be writing anything.

Artificially making it seem like everybody agrees with you is just lying to yourself and skewing your own perception of the mattet.

Also as a another point. This whole discussion we have right now comes from disagreement. I have read your comments, it has made me ponder things i would not have tought without you and weighted things you have written. I hope you have done the same. Even when we clearly have different opinions i think we have argued in good spirit.

The system you are suggesting would remove these interactions completelly.

Im against auto-blocking.

The block feature we have now is fine for what it is, because user needs to review case by case if they want to block somebody or not and they will always keep seeing other peoples opinions even if they try to make a bubble for them self.

Dont you think its inherendly dangerous to just automatically block anyone who disagrees with you?

If you see only comments that agree with you or interract only with people who have the same opinions, your views will never be challenged. Many of the societys problems has its roots in people living in their own bubble.

It has little more nyance than that.

Most phones now days have camera set up so your fingers dont obfuscate the camera lences or smudge them when you hold it on your hand. Same with the front camera. If it it would be on the bottom part the navigation buttons would go over it --> more smudge on thr lense.

With buttons there is the design principle that buttons should work always similarry. Flipping the phone would flip volume settings, buttons and any ports. (Its a minor thing, but i think everyone has somepoint in their life used a software where buttons chance places depending what you are doing and its annoying. This is basically hardware version of that).

No reason here is not really hard to circumvent or even a real problem, but in the end, so small percentage of people need that feature, so why spend time doing it. Especially when it indroduces one new thing that needs to be debugged.

Wonder how applicable this is to real world use cases.

I would imagine fluids are more succesible to things like thermal expansion and external interference like vibration or changes in velocity etc.

Well you can see my patio furniture from satellite images too. Generaly when something is big enough “to see from space” it means its visible to astronauts without any additional equipment.

So yes. I doubt this too.

Maybe a little doomer view.

I wanna point that we did listenen the right people after 1970’s and we pretty much fixed the ozone hole and mitigated acidic rains. Shame we have decited to stop it for some reason.

Also ironically to your statement AMOC effects most the northern europe and there is problem with small birthrate so in this particular catasrophe most people suffering will be white and children will be minority.

Edit; small edit to make the text harder to misunderstand.

Oh i love this conversation.

So do I asses right that you think all hunting is unethical?

So lets imagine situation:

You own a animal sactuary in Africa. There is population of lions living in there is lets say one lion pride and few solidary males roaming the area. Great job! Lions are listed as vulnerable species. They are not quite endangered, but very close. Everything is fine and dandy.

Then one day you notice that the dominant male of the pride has grown old and infertile, but he is still strong enough to ward off the younger males of so they cant copulate with the lionesses and there is very real change the pride will go few years without cubs. Is it ethical to let the male lion live, even when there is chance it will effect the prides abilibity to grow and survive?

Or what if one of the males outside of the pride starts to show excessive agression towards cubs and other adults? Would it be ethical to let it kill or maim other animals?

Or if one of the lions start to kill other animals more than it can eat. Would it be ethical to just let it keep doing that and leave tens of carcasses behind?

While i understand that licenced hunting of big game is good for the local economy and it funds the reservations so they can fight against more descrutive things like poachers and it keeps the wildlife refuges alive so nobody turns the area into highway…

…I also find it somewhat beatifull that the hunt thats purpose is to cull unwanted elements, like for example older males that cant reproduce anymore, but are strong enough to keep younger generation from procreating, ends up removing old male, that hoards recources from younger generations in a completelly differend ecosystem.

Well they got what they wanted and Russian Oil Flows Again through the Druzhba Pipeline…
