Is it necessary to be “objective” in this case?

It’s not like the ICE manufacturing companies are any more objective.

Sometimes there’s just a right and wrong, and we don’t need 50/50 objectivity to see what’s what.

1980 - I will survive.

The award only existed that year.

Land can be bought everywhere in all price ranges. The real hurdle is whether you can legally live there or what requirements there are, due to zoning and building codes.

I think the easiest way to get a self sustaining home with as little legal issues as possible is to buy an already legal home with the grid connection, but then just don’t use it.

If I were young and single again, I would look into auctions of derelict farms. Tear down the old building and instead build a small totally legal connected up to code cabin with water, waste and electricity connection. Then use the rest of land to do whatever actually interest me, while complying to the bare minimum of legal requirements for that land.

That’s definitely an American bastardisation. It’s a common word in all European languages with origins from Greek.

To make things more confusing, all these other languages also have the syllables mixed up, but at least consistently so.

Epoch is is from Greek Epi meaning a period of time. It’s pronounced with O and rhymes with fuck.

Epic is from Greek Epos meaning story or song. It’s pronounced with I and rhymes with dick.

Highly paid bullshit jobs are all about social perception in networks.

The point is to post something that makes it appear as if you’re already ahead of the game, and to use as many buzz words as possible so that you will appear in searches, or someone remembers you knowing something about those words.

It does not matter if the “strategy” makes any sense at all. It’s not like anyone reads it, or that anyone tries it out, or even if you know anything about it. All these posts with motivational and strategic wisdom are just “tags” for people trying to sell themselves.

The people involved in those games rely on each other to support this self-induced value. It’s like “fake it till you make it”, with the twist that they never actually do anything. When they fail, they’ll hopefully have enough other people involved, so that they can only fail upwards.

The picture is from 1970. John Cleese is 30 or 31 years old in that picture…

I don’t remember asking Grok a god damn thing.

Why’d I want my guests to be excited about a good meal? We are having microwaved peas as usual.

Put them on Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride.

Cool…how can I get it?

They too should suffer my endless search history for obscurities. I want them to download all of my USB storage of virus infected malware. I will sit idly and tap my fingertips against each other while my SMS messages corrupt their society from within.

They won’t whine. They’re going to flip around and claim they never supported him.

Both Europe and US are big enough to have a huge variety in building codes for different climates in different states/countries.

Your dogs says: Bow wow wow yippie yay yippie yo.

I feel the same, but I do think there’s a threshold somewhere.

Insects. I don’t want to eat those, but if I had to, my conscience wouldn’t be the problem.

Fish. It’s not my pet. I wouldn’t worry too much about eating it. Breeding fish. Maybe not so easy, but fish will eat each other any chance they get, so why shouldn’t I.

Chicken. They’re not good pets. Fucking dinosaur would eat me if it could. I don’t know if I could have a pet-like relationship to a chicken. Maybe other birds are different. I’d respect a crow or eagle enough not to hunt it.

Then there’s mammals. I agree that most of them are like dogs. I don’t want to breed or hunt pigs, cows, deer or cats. But how about rats and mice? They are a real nuisance and breed like crazy. It wouldn’t matter much to anyone if there’s a few more or less, and I surely wouldn’t pet them in the wild. However, rabbits and hares. They’re just too cute. No eating.

So, there it is. Despite loving every living being, I could still eat some mammals, some birds and anything else in the animal kingdom without remorse.

Who the hell goes to his page anyway?

Yes that’s it. Trickle down doesn’t work because they don’t buy enough yachts.

The proof is: If they actually bought yachts for all their money, they wouldn’t be billionaires anymore. Billionaires wouldn’t exist if trickle down worked.

You don’t need artificial intelligence. We already have intelligence at home.

I fucking wish they’d spend the money on yachts.

At least the yacht sales man would get the billions and use it to buy a house, so the home owner would get the billions and use it buy a car, so the car sales man would get billions and use it buy cocaine, so the drug dealer would get billions and use it buy food.

Billionaires buying yachts would actually feed the poor. But they don’t. They just hoard it in their dragon lairs for no good reason.

It’s difficult to read if you can only watch the person typing.

Sort of like lip reading

A brain itself doesn’t feel physical pain. That requires a nervous system and pain receptors of which the brain has none. Brain surgery is done with only local anesthesia for the skin and scalp.

We also know that braindead people don’t suddenly start creating brain waves even if the body gets mechanical resparation and pulse. It’s quite literally “off”. So, I guess the creation of a dead brain won’t feel anything or start thinking about anything by itself.

The question is what inputs they give these artificial brains. It’ll think that, and that will be it’s “sensory” input. Whether that can cause some emergent brain waves that could be interpreted as emotion or other stuff is impossible to say. I doubt it.
