It of course depends on the context and choice of ethics framework. If the decision is personal I like to use the shorthand: If you have the privilege to choose, then choose to build the type of future you want to live in.

You say that it is at the expense of the storytelling but to me it is the storytelling or at least an essential part of it and what makes it special.

If you prefer, there is plenty of other sci-fi where it’s just two strait white dudes using cgi to save the universe. But then that’s also not really a rich seam for storytelling.

I think you were looking for anglicisation the other is an Americanisation

It looks fab well done! Was this the first ever pizza you made? If so even more massive props!

I agree, but it is going to increase the charging time for a car by quite a bit unless the USB spec advances significantly.

All the oil is doing is helping the pan not boil over while on a high heat as it makes the formation of bubbles at the surface more difficult. So… it kind of helps because you can cook more easily at a high heat but yeah it does nothing for the pasta.

So should we call this Xexit or just Xit?

This is my reality too, although maybe a little less pronounced as I can still drink decaf coffee. It was such a profound uptick in my mental health when I cut out caffeine, so I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.

I think this touches on why I sometimes am reticent to recommend Bank’s’ sci-fi as it is not for everyone. Often I will try to lure people in with his fiction in particular “The crow road” and then convert them from there if they are digging his style.

Despite loving his sci-fi I think the crow road might be one of my favourite books of his all round.

Hey just took a look at the GitHub and I see one main.cpp so far are, you set on c++ or have you considered other languages such as rust?
