  • PC specs:

    i5 7600

    Nvidia Titan Xp (recently upgraded from AMD RX 580, solidworks worked the same)

    28GB RAM

    OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

    Virtualbox

    Virtualising Windows 10

    SolidWorks 2018 (older versions worked fine too, i didn't try new versions but i dont see why it wouldnt work)

    Until recently i dual booted, theres not a big difference in performance.

    I recommend putting both Linux and Windows on an SSD

  • You are oversimplifying it severely because you don't know what you are taking about.

  • Windows VM + SolidWorks for me, there is no other reasonable way unfortunately.

  • Yes they did. Dogs are greedy. Monkeys are greedy. You dont get far in this world if you dont have some sort of greed baked into your genes.

  • Yugoslavia was trying (and failing) to sit in both chairs at the same time, same like Serbia is doing today between Russia and the west. You seem extremely uninformed about the subject. The reason why the breakup began after the fall of Soviet Union is because Soviet Union would provide a big support to JNA in case of any unrest, and any effort at seperation would be ended quickly. HVO and other militaries only had a chance after the Soviets were out of the picture.

  • From wikipedia:

    Ancient views of greed abound in nearly every culture. In Classical Greek thought; pleonexy (an unjust desire for tangible/intangible worth attaining to others) is discussed in the works of Plato and Aristotle.[9] Pan-Hellenic disapprobation of greed is seen by the mythic punishment meted to Tantalus, from whom ever-present food and water is eternally withheld. Late-Republican and Imperial politicians and historical writers fixed blame for the demise of the Roman Republic on greed for wealth and power, from Sallust and Plutarch[10] to the Gracchi and Cicero. The Persian Empires had the three-headed Zoroastrian demon Aži Dahāka (representing unslaked desire) as a fixed part of their folklore. In the Sanskrit Dharmashastras the "root of all immorality is lobha (greed).",[11] as stated in the Laws of Manu (7:49).[12] In early China, both the Shai jan jing and the Zuo zhuan texts count the greedy Taotie among the malevolent Four Perils besetting gods and men. North American Indian tales often cast bears as proponents of greed (considered a major threat in a communal society).[13] Greed is also personified by the fox in early allegoric literature of many lands.[14][15]

    Greed (as a cultural quality) was often imputed as a racial pejorative by the ancient Greeks and Romans; as such it was used against Egyptians, Punics, or other Oriental peoples;[16] and generally to any enemies or people whose customs were considered strange. By the late Middle Ages the insult was widely directed towards Jews.[17]

    In the Books of Moses, the commandments of the sole deity are written in the book of Exodus (20:2-17), and again in Deuteronomy (5:6-21); two of these particularly deal directly with greed, prohibiting theft and covetousness. These commandments are moral foundations of not only Judaism, but also of Christianity, Islam, Unitarian Universalism, and the Baháʼí Faith among others. The Quran advises do not spend wastefully, indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils..., but it also says do not make your hand [as though] chained to your neck..."[18] The Christian Gospels quote Jesus as saying, ""Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions",[19] and "For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.".[20]

  • I am from Croatia. You are from US. Please, educate me about the fall of Yugoslavia.

  • Ukrainian stable democracy seems very threatened at the moment. I am not too into American politics so i dont know about the Bernie situation.

  • Throughout written human history there are mentions of greedy people.

    Yugoslavia wasn't destroyed by the US. Im sure there are more examples. Also, your system is not that great if it can be so easily destroyed by a foreign intervention.

  • They asked for an example of ANY country that doesn’t resort to authoritarianism when the government is threatened by a plurality of citizens. You can choose any currently functioning democracy after a tight election.

  • I'm sorry but i really don't understand who is "we" and "they"

    How is the government formed? Who makes sure the competent people stay in power and don't abuse their position? Can anyone become the part of the government?

  • ...any democracy? Different governments get voted out of power constantly. A lot of countries elections are almost 50/50

  • The economy is a bit more complicated than fixing up a trailer park buddy... Also, the fact that there are people who only want to do the bare minimum, dont want to help their neighbours and such makes your fairytale utopia collapse. Yes, it sucks that people are greedy and lazy but thats simply what people are. You'll never change that and that's why communism always failed when it was attempted.

  • So instead of working for a wage you replace it with... working for no wage?

  • Who would provide for their needs? Volunteers?

  • Freely? No. For money. They can also work for money.
