Depends on where you are I think

For me the camera was a selling point. I was tired of hauling around a dslr on my trips. I find that the smart processing is good enough 90% of the time and I don't want to both haul the camera and handle the post processing anymore. I'd rather just have 90% quality photos of my family and spend more time with them. Hire a photographer for weddings, etc, but really the smart processing is pretty impressive for day to day and even trips.

Nope. I sent this article to my trumper friend and he said "yeah the eu is a horribly corrupt organization". If Elon promoted Nazi propaganda they would be excited and embrace that too.

Maybe if something else big came along and everyone was like "you're still using Xitter? Lol okay boomer" they might consider moving over. Maybe.

My biggest reason for wanting separate bathrooms is the propensity for women to squat and spray the seat. I know guys can make a mess too but usually the women's restroom is dirtier than men's. Also women's restroom is more likely to have a line.

But I'm sure building-wise it would be easier to just make one big bathroom so it should probably be that way, long as it's big enough.

The Quest is really easy to use since you don't need external sensors, but it's underpowered and also from Facebook.

We need wider FOV and better screens. The controllers are okay I think. Hopefully with apple stepping in we get more desperately needed content.

Ms flight simulator is quite clunky and hard to get good frame rates, but damn if you can put up with that it's an awesome experience in VR. Also beat saber.

For quite awhile now those have been the reasons for VR. Sad really. Still these two things are compelling.

Okay he means irrigation water

I thought season 1 was okay. Weird Perrin had a wife.. don't know how that will play out later. Did they use matches at the beginning? I guess that plot is gone but it was minor enough I guess. Additional romance stuff was typical to gain a broader audience I suppose. Overall I was relatively happy. Much better than Sword of Truth's show adaptation.

Didn't know season 2 had started, is it further from the books?

Wheel of Time

I think in the last like 15 years we have gone from 22 weeks to like, 21 weeks and 3 days as the record.

A week is silly. Most women don't even know they are pregnant until they miss their period. Give that a week to be sure they missed it at that's already technically 5 weeks along.

If technology gets as good as you suggest, then we will have to reconsider everything. Governments would have to be willing to take all of them as wards of the state. Before that, we would have to make sure it was just as safe as an abortion. After that, we would have to consider if this mother has a right to not allow this lump or cells to not grow into a full grown human who has to grow up as a ward of the state.

Very complicated ethical mess. But I don't think technology will be there for 50+ years. I'm not sure America will even be here that long these days.

You won't ever get a majority of the population to agree to this view. If you hold staunchly that all the way up until 40 weeks women should be allowed to abort, you will lose at least 75% of the vote. At some point the fetus is developed enough we have to consider its life, regardless of its current location.

I think we could push viability as a compromise for everyone. That's around 21-24 weeks, depending on what is considered acceptable potential life chance. Conservatives will say that's too developed, some progressives will claim your view, but I think most would at least compromise that if we could safely take the baby out, that should be the legal option at that point. That also gives the mother a lot of time to consider her options.

Woah. Never knew that was illegal before. We need that law back.

I definitely want more competition in the area. Tesla has some obnoxious practices that competition will force them to improve. But without Tesla we would not have the charging stations we have now. We would be stuck with the occasional plug in hybrid. Legacy manufacturers were simply not advancing.

Elon musk bought a great business and is ruining the image, but they are still awesome cars compared to gas. Even if they completely fail now, I'm still glad they were around to force others to innovate.

How has the biggest name in EVs become so hated here? I get that Lemmy wants to see everyone in an apartment, but not everyone is going to migrate to the city. Is Lemmy suggesting those that stay in rural areas just keep driving gas powered cars?

I think a comment I saw recently makes this make sense.

A lot of people have told me as you age, you get more conservative. I have not noticed this happen, but I think an entire generation did. Boomers. As they aged they had so many advantages the entire generation acquired things. Things they don't want to lose because they feel like they earned it. In some ways they did earn it (eg, pursued that promotion, bought that house after "a whole summer of working OT!")... they just don't recognize they started on third base and did not in fact hit a home run.

So if an entire generation can be as awful as they are, I think it must be a general glitch in human psychology. As long as you FEEL like you earned something, you will fight to protect it. I think that's what happens to billionaires. And aging republicans. There will always be exceptions, but I think in general humans will just tend to be this way.

I don't know enough about the New Deal for a real comparison. I'm guessing this is the LaCroix of the New Deal?

Or Trump, or anyone except maybe like AOC or Bernie Sanders. We should celebrate what wins we can and keep pushing for more change. Normalize this new thing as the absolute floor and next year we demand more until we reach sustainability.

Or we all die off in the new climate. That works too.

The point he was making was that it likely did. Imagine you are a leader and your uneducated peasants keep dying from stupid practices with meat. You tell them your scholars have discovered that pork must be cooked longer to be safe. They tell you they've always eaten it that way and it's too dry when overcooked. So they eating rare pork and keep dying. So instead you write that God says not to eat that meat. Boom, problem solved.

They could fix this very quickly with a government mandated one year off for both parents having a kid. Then with government subsidy for childcare/limits on childcare pricing.

I think a very large number of people would sign up for a paid year off, especially if they were confident the kids would not bankrupt them in the following years.

I've had this too but in music. I have no training or ability to write and can barely play easy piano music. But just on the edge of sleep, I feel like I can compose piano pieces that are beautiful and complex. The tune swirls in my head as I add a harmony to go with the melody.

Of course, having no way to write them down, even the tune is quickly lost. Maybe I dreamed the whole thing and it was just nonsense sounds. Who knows?
