I live in my headphones. If anyone chatty is around I put headphones on as an indicator of concentration. (Not that it works)

Use a form attached to a spreadsheet FTLoG! What a finicky way to dunce your job!

This looks interesting, thanks!

A lot of blind courage is also missing. People used to answer to a lot of blind requests in a way that demanded a leap of faith and an effort to establish their own character. It also had a healthy dose of just wait and see. These days people can weasel out of uninformed situations quite a lot. So, we lean to shallow decision models with fewer good intentions accordingly.

He wanted that job!

English speakers: In the first car of the first race in the first tournament.

US: In the first race’s first car in the first tournament.

Me: this looks derivative

Also me: take my upvote

Ah, good point. The universe hadn’t expanded yet.

Yeah, I’m slipping after 3 days. It’s like putting on beer goggles.

Spam is primarily contained as an illicit act. Normal corporations can’t engage in spam activities without some regulation. Around the world there are limitations on spam. As we know it, unstoppable spam is nothing in comparison to unstoppable heavy hitter DDOS type attacks.

If legal you would have to pay email providers to get out from under it. Think ads!

Was about to say this. The best way to handle this is break their economic projections.

Open source isn’t struggling. It’s a struggle. People have high expectations, and expectations go awry in open source and profit models.

Having an electrical background I noticed a lot of logic disappearing into code and still wanted access to it. Also, virtualisation and emulation are a lot cheaper to run.

The guy that put me on to Linux moved to another city, and I cried this hard /jk

Why does Microsoft buy up patents and pull monopolisation tricks?!

Nah, China and Russia lost respect for the US when they elected Donald Trump. Imagine having to treat that baboon like a peer. International hostilities is the obvious outcome.

Men will see a potential in gaining something by being adversaries. Even if it’s a worse outcome by any stretch of the imagination they mightn’t be able to overcome evolved and taught practices of harm.

Many men have to be disarmed before they can get out of predator mode. And high functioning narcissists, psychopaths, … - dark triad types will only pretend to come out.

It’s the difference between your average agreeable person and a highly driven academic. You’re probably going to notice shades of ego with the university educated person. The higher the school status the more likely pretensiousness comes into play during interactions. Everything starts to toxify into a contest of intellect and qualifications.

Men have similar prevailing toxicity. So, creating a road block over excessive emotional output is an attempt at a ‘gotcha’. They’re attempting to demarcate/mark their territory at the expense of the emotional person.

A lot of deserts get a fresh water pulse occasionally, and things spring back to life. If you take that away it destroys more ecology. You’re better off making multilevel greenspace in the cities.

More crops go to feed in animal agriculture, than crops to humans. And farmers tend to monocrop instead of utilising all the possible crops that would do well in that environment. (Retooling, investment, skills, time, industry experts, …)

Alternative. Music, politics, food cars. Mainstream never came back.

That is one thing, but I think it’s better not to dangle Africa over the fire pits of military intervention excuses. It went horribly bad for most continents. Broadscale alignment with Russia might be enough to trigger some onlooker that means to do them harm.

Escalation from Saudis for instance.
