I once got called the f-slur for having the audacity to read a book in public, outdoors in front of the library.

Is that the world’s most cursed SEO, or is that repetition something that’s significant to the cult?

Nevermind, I see the “for search engines” now. Missed it in all the nonsense.

We don’t blink an eye when told to not stand under something being lifted by a crane, so why balk at being told to be safe around the two ton travelling metal boxes?

Nobody is saying that you shouldn’t act safely around cars. People are saying we shouldn’t design transportation infrastructure that prioritizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. Cranes are only allowed to operate in much more tightly controlled situations than drivers.

This is the first beard I’ve ever seen make someone’s chin look weaker.

Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

It is, if you look a few things up, but there’s also a readily available translated “backup copy” floating around.

The question I am posing is not “do modern farm workers labor harder than prehistoric hunter gathers” (they do).

Instead, the question is “should modern farm workers labor harder than prehistoric hunter gathers”.

Farming is more efficient than gathering. That’s why we farm. So why is it the case that modern farm workers are working harder?

If the required labor was split up more equitably then farmers wouldn’t have to work sunup to sundown.

The entire point of large scale agriculture is that it’s more efficient than individual peasants working a single field or whatever.

Nobody is saying that farming isn’t hard work, but modern farming should produce more food per man-hour than neolithic farming (or hunter/gathering), right? So why should it be that farm workers now have to work harder than prehistoric people?

And iirc the next fedora release will finally unify everything under /usr/bin.

On my current Fedora 40 install /bin is already a symlink to /usr/bin

Lord of the Rings will start entering the public domain in 2044, so all the rights holders are going to squeeze the IP as much as they can over the next twenty years.

The main difference from the film being that the novel isn’t a satire–Heinlein was being sincere.
