Something I really didn't catch during my first watch through, House cares, House cares a LOT. He acts like an asshole but from his point of view he's taking the most pragmatic and efficient route possible to save his patients, willing to risk firing, jailtime and even death to do so; the few times he loses a patient (or friend) he's devastated.
Pretty sure he's now functionally the worlds richest man (including oligarchs with a lot of hidden wealth) what with his newly aquired un-supervised access to 6 trillion in US government funds.
Has the US fought anyone even near parity since WWII? Its a big army but it has a hard time defeating guys living in tents and caves without resorting to carpet bombing.
So I read some interesting stuff on this recently, (ignoring that brain size isn't as important as brain compelxity for intelligence) a lot of creatures that have big brains including our ancestors and elephants had/have most of the extra mass in regions related to memory. The theory goes that simply remembering where everything is and picking the most likely solution (e.g. the neares watering hole that you saw water at this time last year) is generally more effective than traits like creativity and imagination... right up until you hit a break point where you start making tools and seriously modifying your environment. As we developed agriculture we had less of a need to remember every little thing so while we didn't get less intelligent we did end up with worse memories, possibly gaining an even greater degree of creativity in return as those parts of the brain became more valuable in the new self created environment.
I dunno sounds like the only even vaguely engineering part is glueing a ring to the end of a pistol? If that's considered out of the box clever enough to require a check I can only assume D&D takes place in the systemic lead poisoning dimension.
Is it more understandable can civ 6? I'm a fan of goddamn stellaris and could competently play civ 5 but civ 6 is like being beaten half to death with a textbook on quantumn physics and then told to sit an exam. The tutorial prepares you for the game about as much as a stick of chewing gum prepares you for the beating.
iirc the machines that TSMC uses are made in Holland right when he's also apparently doing his best to piss of Europe, even then there's like a decade long order backlog.
This is the part that I find oddly infuriating even though its already hitler. The guy was an awful leader, the allies even stopped assasination attempts once they realised how much of a hinderance he was to the German war effort.
Currently on a very locked down version of firefox but also windows, though I've been experimenting with mint on an old laptop in prepration for a switchover.
I recently discovered windows actually has a set of far more specific troubleshooters which actually provide useful information about a problem but you have to dig around in legacy settings to find them.
I wouldn't be surprised if China spent more on AI development than the west did, sure here we spent tens of billions while China only invested a few million but that few million was actually spent on the development while out of the tens of billions all but 5$ was spent on bonuses and yachts.
The US is also a regulations haven compared to other developed economies, corporations get away with shit in most places but America is on a whole other level of regulatory capture.
And to clarify I don't normally believe in vigilante justice but these people removed themselves from the justice system so why should they be protected by it?
And a never ending insurgency?
