when "do your own research" meant "read a book" because Google didn't exist yet

And then put that autoexec.bat on a bootable floppy disk you needed to research how to make yourself, fucking around with EMS and XMS settings to have enough memory to play.

Figuring out how to get games to play as a teenager is what launched my career in IT.

prevent inflation by limiting the amount of currency that exists

which is a flawed premise itself. the supply of currency needs to expand at the same rate as productivity increases or else you get deflation which has its own set of problems

I feel like its an advantage to know the analog way to do things in addition to the current norms. For example, navigating by paper map and direction of the sun, like some kind of land pirate.

And what's worse is that its unblockable spam apparently because its being posted with an admin account which seems to bypass user's blacklists.

@admin@science.social perhaps consider using a different account for posting articles, and only using the admin account for doing admin stuff

I would say just put the content in the body of the post, but it looks like you're trying to make money off it so that might be counterproductive for your intentions.

Maybe generate a summary that includes links to peer-reviewed sources, and use that as the post body. It needs to be a sales pitch - get readers interested and invested in the story enough to follow through with clicking the link to your blog.

Just posing headlines and a link to a blog is, at a glace, indistinguishable from someone journaling their pipe dreams.

Not freeware, but currently $2.39 on GOG:
Master of Magic

Its like Civilization with wizards and dragons.

Why does this still show up in my feed when I've got OP blocked? Is it because it was posted by an instance admin account?

No offense OP, I'm just not interested in reading your blog.

Canada needs a plan in case launching missiles becomes necessary.

Here's the book of standards for indoor air quality published by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers):

And this is the relevant bit for this situation:

Its value is equal to its usefulness as a propaganda organ. Twitter wasn't purchased to make money. A megaphone is more of a tool than an investment.

There are no minable deposits of rare earths anywhere. That's why they're called rare earth elements. Nowhere on Earth are there geologic processes that concentrate them into ores. The only way to get them is to process absolutely enormous volumes of dirt, at great expense in terms of energy used and pollution created.

Every country has them.

Who sells it is a question of which country is willing to render some portion of their territory uninhabitable for the foreseeable future, while also making a larger portion of their territory sick and dirty.

yeah, #3 is a time machine if you can spam it faster than light can travel 7 inches

Right now, 500 million Europeans are begging 300 million Americans for protection from 140 million Russians who have been unable to overcome 50 million Ukrainians for three years.
