it’s so crazy to me how people just rushed to hand over their DNA to some random company
perseveration
Ah you see, there’s a simple answer here. Israel is spreading democracy across the middle east, so it’s good and wholesome for them to invade countries.
Standard of living has been steadily improving in China since the revolution, and it has managed to develop in an overwhelmingly peaceful fashion. China has achieved astounding feats of engineering with projects like cross country high speed rail, and it’s currently leading the clean energy revolution globally.
I guess I’m still within the limit for now, that’s the main thing I want to keep an eye on for a few weeks to see that my data usage is stable. Seems like setting a hard limit on media retention is key. I don’t really want to have to do admin work maintaining my own instance, hence why I’d rather just pay a few bucks a month for somebody else to do it.
Yeah that makes sense, in my case I was a already following a lot of accounts and had a lot of followers, so discoverability wasn’t an issue. I can see how it’s a problem if you’re making a new account though. In that case, it’s better to just join a bigger instance so you can find content.
Note how there’s no discussion of what this port workers want is anywhere in the FT article. I dug around a bit, and apparently they want a significant raise over the next 6 year contract.
Top-scale port workers now earn a base pay of $39 an hour, or just over $81,000 a year.
Seems pretty reasonable, weird how the reasons for the strike are pretty much never discussed in the media.
Indeed, nationalizing strategically important companies that fail would be the sane approach. Instead, the US pumps public money into them while keeping them private.
A bit early to say, but seems like it could develop that way.
Plenty, lobbyists, health insurance industry, and advertisers would be a few off top of my head.
I really enjoyed both shows as well. You might enjoy Silo which is a pretty solid recent sci-fi show I can recommend. Andor is also excellent, it’s hands down my favorite thing from the Star Wars universe. Farscape is also absolutely fantastic. It starts out a bit slow, but it’s absolutely amazing once it gets going. Also enjoyed Love Death and Robots, they took a bunch of short sci-fi stories and make episodes out of each. Firefly is another excellent show.
Right, it’s still the same party with the same policies. The article shows that young people are disillusioned with the democrats as a whole because they’re tired of being gaslit by them.
It’s a video, here’s a youtube link as an alternative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2FtPuhTDyM
Is anything in this article somehow not relevant now that it’s September?

I’ve trained Wu style for a while and there wasn’t any mysticism in the school I was in. We also did a lot of application and sparring, including sparring with other martial arts schools. I think the core principles of the principles of the art are sound, and it can work as an effective fighting style.
That said, I find it really depends on how it is taught. A lot of schools just focus on doing the forms, and they don’t bother with application. It’s fine if you’re doing it to develop body awareness, balance, and so on. However, I don’t think it’s possible to learn to apply a fighting style without actually doing sparring.
Stories about masters single handedly pushing 10 people using the power of chi are just tall tales in my experience. You can get a lot of power by learning to get the most out of body mechanics, but at the end of the day there’s no magic and it’s just physics.
