It's literally the same argument. A virus exists that disproportionately affects a group of people. That group is uninteresting to me so instead of just saying I don't give a shit I call it a force of nature.

We are a little special because we can conceptualize how our actions will affect the spreas of a disease. A world leader is a little more special in that regard because they can enact policy to curb disease on a wide scale.

Having the knowledge and power to help and not doing anything is a moral failing. Blaming it on nature is covering that failing with nonsense.

Its as true as saying AIDs was nature's way of dealing with gay people. Which is to say it's absolutely untrue and way of passing off moral responsibility to anthropomorphized concepts.

The concept is that you don't have to politely sit quietly and listen while someone spouts hate. You are empowered and encouraged to make it stop. That doesn't necessarily involve physical violence but it should remind you that hate can weaponize the rules of polite society and you don't have help.

Most people don't run into any issues with mods online. If you're constantly running into "asshole" authority figures in online communities it might be you...

It's primarily private insurance (at least in the US) that drives that. The doctor can prescribe something and then a "doctor" who works for the insurance company can take a 10 second look at it and deny it outright in favor of a more profitable treatment.

Back in grandma's day (in the US at least) women were financially trapped in their marriages by a system that wouldn't allow them to get credit cards or open bank accounts without their husband's permission, even if they worked. Having a small stash allows a person to choose to be in a marriage, not be forced.

It's outdated advice but it comes from a good place.

I think it's a typo and they mean the decrease in gravitational force goes from exponential to linear, but continues decreasing.

I have to believe an experienced holodeck user would be able to detect some of the telltale signs pretty easily. Like replicated food, if you see it enough you probably notice "holodeck vase #5" showing up scattered around the background of scenes as clutter. Or even minor visual distortions where it switches from 3d to the false horizon.

Food is full of water and takes a lot of energy to heat up. The plate is thin and made of easily heated material like ceramic or glass.

In the short term, only the children of the wealthy could continue into higher education. Anyone else who had dreams of doing anything that required higher ed, including professions that are already in short supply like doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, would be SOL. I can see how "starve the beast" makes an appealing, easy to understand fix for the issues in higher education, but I think the cost to people is too high to do it like that.

Also Rome, New York.

I'd highly recommend adding a license file. Right now it's more source available than open source.

How far apart are your 2 communities and what size user base are you expecting?

If they're closeish there are probably some point to point network options you could experiment with for a low bandwidth backup link.

Expected users really just determines if you need things like load balancing, identity management, etc.

Rocky Horror is more campy than just bad imo. It doesn't take itself seriously, unlike the room. Plus the music is fire.

And also for the entire Dominion war we forget that half the federation, the Klingons, and the romulans are all in the beta quadrant. But we're fighting to save the alpha quadrant.

Yeah the "chance" part.

12 inches minimum.

Until I was reading about this project I had never heard of it. And I would consider myself pretty plugged into torrent news.
