Just a small nit, I would say ‘much’ cheaper or ‘dramatically’ cheaper. Exponential refers to rate od change, not magnitude of change. Something increasing by 10% a year is exponentially increasing, something that’s just gotten bigger could be increasing linearly or not at all.

I do love it when you can justify using a different homophone than the etymologically correct one.

“eggcorns”. You can really do some fun ones. For all intensive purposes, they’re pretty much equivalent.

It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?

So, they ignore Canada and refuse to support the people there. Greaaat.

I’m okay with it as long as it’s not locked to the exclusive use of one entity.

Bíum bíum bambaló, Icelandic song. Lullaby.

Yeah. This is a plot point used in a few stories, eg Carl Sagan’s “Contact”

The Long Dark. Something about wandering an icy wasteland scavenging, hunting, fishing, works for me.

They could add a bid price, so that you automatically buy at a certain price level. Sure, you could bid 0.10, but they’d probably never actually take it. And that way, they could know how much money is laying on the table. If there’s a thousand bids for $50, that gives them a pricing signal.

He’s also attached himself to a fickle narcissist with a long history of throwing people away like tissues when they become slightly inconvenient, even at the cost of long-term value.

Musk knows that if Trump ditches him, he loses a hundred billion + in stock paper value, pretty much immediately. That’s a lot of leverage and a lot of reason to stay on his good side.

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

F off, cleanshirt!

“Overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest cats”

“Cake” in “let them eat cake” is “brioche”. I had thought that cake meant cheap chemically leavened bread-ish, but it actually was an out of touch elite being genuinely confused about bread shortages, not someone callously suggesting the peasants eat shittier food.

Also it probably wasn’t Marie Antoinette.

It seems a lot like a Maritime-style donair, which often has pineapple and a sweet sauce. Pretty similar concept of a thing in a flatbread shell.

I believe they lacked the metallurgy to make high pressure steam vessels.

Super

I would say no* but the asterisk has a few paragraphs involving funding sustainability, cryptobro involvement, and dubious decentralization.

Impressive work, however you slice it.

In the show, gems are asexual, non gendered. They just use female pronouns for convenience.

They never really covered reproduction in depth, except that they’re crystals grown in rock substrate. They’re closer to computer than biological.
