There’s tons of theory out there that addresses that point. Maybe read some.

And a subtitle that he probably thought was egalitarian and progressive at the time.

Maybe guns will stop coming across the boarder if they ask the CIA nicely?

I’m pretty sure you could make a deal with a local. Only trouble is getting an AK47 over the boarder.

Well, for what it’s worth, I don’t think they make a big deal of it. In fact, the old bar had a sign to effect of “everyone is welcome here, but this is a queer space, and if you can’t handle that, you will be asked to leave”. I think that was taken down, but the spirit is still there.

There must be a PDF version of “IPv6 for Dummies” to send them.

Give it a few minutes.

Education and health care are two places where the administration has expanded much, much faster than either the “customer base” or the people doing the real work. Which is quite odd. There should be economies of scale at work; you don’t need twice as many administrators to handle twice as many workers or customers. Should be a lot less, like 1.2x or 1.5x. However, the actual numbers have gone the opposite way, like 5x the admin staff for 2x the workers and customers.

Yes, lots. More than we could use.

It is. But there’s way more salt produced that way than the market wants to buy.

There is work to combine lithium extraction with desalination plants. We would also have more lithium than we would ever need for batteries.

Lots, but only a few that are worth a damn. I’ve come to call them “Han Solo Simulators”.

Its a genre that seems to attract a lot of half baked game designers. Make a big universe sandbox where you fly a spaceship to space stations and planets and moons and trade stuff and do pirate shit or anti-pirate shit. Lots of people have this idea, only a few make anything good out of it. Doesn’t seem like it can go wrong, and yet . . .

Battlecruiser 3000 AD is a particularly infamous case of 90s Internet lore. By all accounts, it did eventually patch the game up enough to be decent, but it took years to get there. At release, the game’s installer would crash for most people. However good it might have ended up, the Internet drama was better than the game ever could be. Look up “Derek Smart” if you’re interested.

The X series is one I want to like, but it’s been really buggy for me. Like rage quit when it destroys my progress kind of buggy. I haven’t played X4, though.

No Man’s Sky was an infamous mess at launch. Unlike Battlecruiser 3000 AD, it did eventually change its reputation, but it was a long, hard road. I played it a few years ago and found it uninteresting, but basically playable.

And then there’s Star Citizen. I’ll just leave it at that.

Anyway, the Elite series is probably the most successful for single player or smaller multiplayer, and Eve: Online for massively multiplayer.

Wireless links can be done on certain parts of the spectrum without a license. Just need clear line of sight.

It’s a knowledge issue. Network admin skills aren’t easy, and good network admins make a lot for a reason. Coordinating to build even a regional network is difficult, much less crossing a continent or a planet. It’s harder than you think, even if you already think it’s hard.

They’re just throwing them under the prison bus. They were useful idiots who’s usefulness is over.

From what I’ve heard from janitors, the women’s rooms can be outright disturbing. Like period blood murals on the wall.

Yes, that did happen. She was supposedly a teen supermodel who happened to have androgen insensitivity and XY chromosomes.

She wasn’t really trans, though. She was assigned female at birth, lived as a woman, and as far as we know from the episode’s story, she kept living as a woman. Trans-adjacent, but not exactly the same thing.

Which happens to be exactly what the place in OP does.

It’s pretty great. It took over the spot of a gay bar in town which had evolved to be more of a general bar while being explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly. They had to shut down for various reasons. I/O took it over and has largely continued being LGBTQ+ friendly, but now with more pinball tables and old arcade games.

I believe that the problem with agile is that it’s not enough like waterfall. That’s why SAFe is for me.

So glad we dropped that shit.

I wish we could all just agree on a few basics and do it. Like, can we support unions and do mutual aid? Yeah, it’s not nearly enough to fix all our problems, but it’s a start. Maybe it will help bring about anarcho syndicalist trotskyist solarpunk feminism, and maybe it won’t, but it’s a start.
