  • The official name of Taiwan's government is Republic of China, and it's the continuation of the government that controlled all of China before Mao's uprising.

    So I'm not sure your argument makes sense. They claim to be the legitimate Chinese government in their own name.

  • Lol, the caption under the second frame is Japanese instead of Chinese and reads "I'm a little bitch who doesn't speak Chinese."

    Horribly google translated tho. Japanese doesn't literally use "female dog" to mean "bitch" and the verb should also be in the potential conjugation.

  • The Common Descent podcast has two paleontologists discussing ancient life on Earth. Every episode focuses on a specific era or group of creatures and what we know about their evolution and speciation. There are really good episodes on the "big five" mass extinctions when major changes led to a fundamental reorganization of living groups on the planet.

  • The Biden administration has already put huge political pressure behind unionization of EV production, with the lucrative 30D tax credits only available for EVs produced with union labor. So pointing the finger at Democratic policies as being the cause is still misleading.

  • The Red Mars series of books by Kim Stanley Robinson includes a range of measures that humans take to terraform the red planet, one of which is building robots to drill "moholes," or holes that reach the Mohorovicic discontinuity between crust and mantle layers. Yes, they are giant volcanoes, and in the books the outgassing from these volcanoes is a strategy to increase the density and particularly the infrared absorption of the Martian atmosphere.

  • Probably depends on the worker but in my case productivity is way up. I spend half the time I used to spend commuting still on the PC doing work, and I don't even mind since I can eat dinner and relax the second I close my computer. They get an extra eight hours out of me as a result of WFH.
