Unless you grew up in the '80s. Jesus, what a shitshow. Though I notice a lot of nostalgia for the '80s from people who aren't old enough to remember it.

Socialism so far has an absolutely terrible track record with environmental protection. Unless you're just talking about being able to directly force societal change in general, in which case you're arguing for eco-flavoured despotism.

Socialism doesn't even promise environmental protection, rather being focused on worker rights and minimizing inequality.

My compost heap is now 80% bears. Did I do it wrong?

Thus converting a workforce of poorly paid fast food employees into one of highly paid utility workers.

Plutonium actually does combust¹. Even worse, it's pyrophoric². I couldn't easily find kcal/g though.

hmm. I prefer to live by "I've cut it three times and it's still too short"

And the rest of the time it shouldn't just be choice of locking them in a room vs entertaining them. Just include them in whatever you were going to do anyway. Cleaning the house? Kid gets a small/toy broom. Laundry? Kid carries empty baskets or something. Holding wrenches or flashlights for repairs is traditional.

None of these things will make the tasks go faster, of course, but the child is occupied and learning to be helpful, and you aren't driving yourself crazy trying to run a household and entertain them 24/7 at the same time.

Car specific maybe? I was able to charge at -30C outside from a 120V outlet last winter.

If the earth isn't flat, how can there be flat-earthers?

Race can be pseudo-scientific bullshit, and still have a bunch of racists around. The idea of race is, at its core, a racist idea.

And this was required because the SR-71 started flying in 1966, and the first GPS satellite didn't launch until 1978. The full GPS constellation wasn't finished until 1990.

Even corporations that are cooperatives? Municipalities are corporations (in my country). Are they bastards? How about corporations that are wholly government owned? The USSR was full of those.

Altruistically? Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia. Help climate change and cripple Putin's war machine in one go.

For me? Central Square, purveyors of shitty enterprise software.

Mklinux. It was the only thing you could run on one of those jank-ass PowerPC/nubus Macs.

Not at all. The Conservative Party (like all parties) have regular party conventions. They can conduct a leadership review at the convention and start the process to replace the leader at that time.

A1 has a direct drive extruder. It does function as kind of a hybrid thing with the AMS though. Use of the AMS with TPU isn't recommended, but there are a couple of harder TPU filaments that supposedly work.

If you remember navigating with a compass and map, GPS is goddamned magical.

I haven't finished listening, but I assume everything went well for the privateers.

But then you get to mansplain mansplaining! That's my hobby. My daughter loves it.

Anyone with less capabilities of a medium sized nation-state will not be able to "just smash" an AWS datacenter.

Everything everywhere was surveyed in imperial measurements. As a surveyor in a previous career, metric was the best thing that could have happened. Maps in imperial scales are miserable.
