  • I genuinely believe space travel is going to be very cheap in next 50 years. It might be possible by 2070s to be in upper middle class and save for 3-4 years to take a vacation to luxury hotels on the moon, do space walks on the surface, bring back some moon dust for collection, finals of some popular sports happening on moon etc etc.

  • Which is a fine take to have. I block all ads almost all the time. But web hosting does cost money. So I see enabling ads on those who asked nicely has been what I see is donating my time and my annoyance with ad to a service that I value and should donate to. I have been burned a couple of times. But I still do it because hosting content on we costs money.

  • I still have so many Muslim friends from last three decades and so many of them selectively believe in Islam (not believing in the violence inducing parts of quran), and i used to think that's the norm in most of the world. But now a days, specifically last five years more and more Muslim people I meet, I cannot tell which of them subscribe to the violent and mysogenistic parts of quran. Since so many of my new acquaintances do believe everything in quran. Maybe because last 5 years I'm meeting Muslims from west of Afghanistan and early in my life they were all from India, Malaysia, Indonesia etc. I don't know if it's something triggered by hamas or no.

    But just yesterday I had a conversation with a prominent muslim figure in community here over beer (as ironic as that is) where me some others were saying everyone is an asshole between Israel and Hamas. And my Muslim friend that I'e know for about 2 years says, no its Israel that's a piece of shit (which is fine, I understand) but immidiately followed by all non-believers are assholes and should be "taught" . And 70% of that table is non-Muslim. I don't know the way he said it or what, but I felt scared. And this is not isolated, I've noticed this more and more in last 5 years.

    I don't know the point I'm making. Just I guess I can't tell now who believes in violence and who doesn't.

  • It's not about being cold, the workers that are working in coal are not at fault. Imagine you being a mid thirties guy in Indonesia, when you were in early twenties looking for a career in a couple try with sever lack of jobs that pay high enough to sustain a life that allows you to own a house and a car near some urban area, when world is still warming up to the idea of Global warming, you will take the coal mining job because it pays well, allows your kids to study in English medium schools. Allows you to save to send them to university. They are only trying to get what a lot of people in developed have taken it for granted. And it's a legitimate problem on how to re-employ people from early retirement of coal plants.

  • Sync is an app developed by one independent developer and he enters ad onto the free version of the app to pay for his bills. If you browse using any open source apps or browser you won't see any ads.

  • While my cousin's neighbor is fighting a law suit because, a woman (cousin's neighbor) used defibrillator on another woman(when her heart stopped) , and other woman is now suing the neighbor for some minor marks from defibrillator. Mostly neighbor will win the case, but she has to appear in court now. Makes me feel so angry and i don't even know the neighbor lady.
