Yeah, sure, a clanker gonna do grammar mistakes that he corrects many days later after waking up.

I suppose in your world everything you hate is woke, and everyone that isn't like you is a clanker, right?

Not necessarily. But your reaction is a good illustration of what the conservative narrative is when it comes to DEI.

DEI isn't about excluding a majority to promote a minority, but to make sure being part of a minority doesn't handicap someone.

But some people feels that it is in their right to exclude people they don't like, which can be understable when it comes to not recruit someone who stole from you previously, but in most case it is based on prejudices against specific minorities. And that's the main problem.

Those prejudices, most of the times based on misunderstandings, fear of the unknown, if not jealousy (antisemitism in Europe is often based on the idea that Jews perceived overall wealth is stolen from others).

Those prejudices greatly diminishes (or, as you wrote, "steals") their chance to be chosed for well paid work (if not work at all), and to be represented in media like videogames (because of knee jerk reaction like that game where you steal back artifacts from museum got).

DEI, when not exaggerated to the extremes, is beneficiary for everyone involved. Recruiters find talents they wouldn't have previously considered, people broadens their horizon by learning others culture, philosophy and history. Who in their right mind would refuse that, other that self-centered bigots?

In my case I'm glad of the diversity of people I meet at work. I don't care if they are black or white, gay or straight, male, female, or anything in between. They are competent and hardworking, that's the only metrics that should matters.

Tea began to be commercially imported in Europe around the early 1600s.

I looked into it, and you seem to be right.

In Renaissance era high society, a tea party is often the place where rumors brews. So basically, "having tea" implies discussing the latest rumors.

12v batteries probaby, but EV I'd doubt it considering how much range was a major hurdle to overcome. More weight, less range with the same capacity, meaning you need to add even more capacity, which reduces the space available for everything else.

My vision would be Li-ion will still be the king for medium to high-end EV, but for low-end EV, or those for whom range isn't as much of a problem than for other (short range commuters) that would indeed be a game changer.

In my case, a 300-400 km range sodium-ion battery car, with a decent fast charge (less that an hour from to 80 percent) would be ideal. I use trains for anything further than that, and my car is mainly used for short range duties (less than 40km a day), once or twice a month. For anything closer than 20km I got my trusty cargo bike (which I use extensively, 2700km last year).

Especially for residential/static storage, where energy to weight ratio isn't as important.

If I recall well, it isn't a good fit for cars as it energy density per weight isn't as good. But for residential batteries, that's huge (if true).

"Hide that problem I don't want to see!"

You should try Coffee Talk. It work way better on the Deck.

When you don't have to blow an hospital but only some cardboard, it helps 😂.

Maybe. We'll see. I didn't see it on the community, I through, considering how active the subject was at first, that it would be of interest to the community.

19th of September 2025, seem fresh enough to me, and the game isn't the same. Maybe they once again changed their policy.

But the fact that it wasn't NSFW at first may have worked in their defavor, that's true.

I once deleted /dev/urandom. I didn't want uncertainty in my life.

Well, I was on for a surprise.

I've been playing since the Little Prince season. Once a moth, always a moth 😆.

Hi there little moth 😄

Covid. Like 80% of the vaccine where mRNA based.

Some vaccine are oral based (but as a liquid, not as pill). We don't use them in the West as we have robust viccine that are injection based. But those vaccine requires a way more robust supply chain than many third world countries has, so oral vaccine, while not as effective as injection based vaccine, are used there.
Problem with oral vaccine is that most pathogens are killed by the digestive system so the only one that could be made as a pill would be those who already are acclimated to such a harsh environment (so gut microbiology).
There are very few digestive disease that would allow for such vaccine vector to be developed, the only one that could these last few decade would be Ebola. But for such a deadly disease (90% mortality if I remember well), the medical community would prioritize the most effective way, which would be injection.

MRNA vaccine works differently if I remember well. Basically instead of injecting the weaker virus itself, they trick the body to produces non-active parts of that pathogens in order to train the body.
