Likely caused by a revision change in the slide show, one was taken out before slide 11, most of the slides were updated, but this one got missed.

You also have the right to smear shit on your face, but don't be surprised if no one wants to hang out with you.

Unless it costs more than non-renewable infrastructure it's still a net win. Granted, we're quite likely at the point where a net win isn't enough.

Kind of want to say, "I'll take your guilty verdict and raise you a Jan 6."

My first thought was, "Is that Donnie's older brother who's been taking care of his health?" It's the best AI can do, I suppose.

Well, things went about as well for Japan's royalty as it did for Japan in general when they lost WWII.

I think the part that really highlights the situation are these two parts: First, they used the same times, but different time zones; second, they used the excuse of CRA rules not taking current traffic into consideration. What this shows is that the CRA auditor made a mistake and rather than just admitting it, they doubled down and engaged in a years-long legal battle. After all, if time of day didn't matter, why didn't they just put in 2 AM as the time for the trip?

Their government was an imperial model during WWII. Unless they killed off the royalty, why would you assume they had no descendants?

I tried using FreeCAD 5 or 10 years ago, and it was painful. I had access to Inventor, so I used that for the limited work I was doing. Later, I heard of some build/pack/whatever that removed a lot of pain from the FreeCAD workflow, but I can't remember what it was called and I wasn't doing CAD work any more. Trying to find that led me to this, though:

Ondsel ES Look

Also, I found a video on YouTube that appears to go through the same steps. Here it is.

I'm not sure it that will solve your problems, but the 20 minute video should answer that question for you.

Or, it's doing what good science fiction does, make you think about the consequences of things that you normally wouldn't. (And there was some lazy writing.)

Im sorry the world is uglier than you think it should be, but having that attitude and capping it off with an implication that it's okay to cause another being lifelong pain simply because of their nature makes it pretty clear that you don't so much want a more ethical world for other creatures as much as you don't like cats.

Why would being in a simulation require that those who create or maintain it only observe?

Edit: I misread, merely observing is certainly a possibility.

Yes, but it's worth it to make them say it out loud, rather than letting them hide behind excuses like fiscal responsibility or the economy.

I've been saying for years now, you can pay for police and jails or you can pay for social assistance and schools, but one way or another, you will pay.

There is a difference between maximum age and life expectancy, just as there is a difference between life expectancy at different ages. The life expectancy at 25 in Roman times was about 70 years old. All of our advances have added about 10% to a person's life span after they got past childhood diseases, the recklessness of youth, and serving in the military in the case of Romans. And I'm not entirely sure of the relevance of a genocide in Israel to Xi's prospects.

Immune suppression drugs have their own risks, and the older you are, the harder surgeries are on you. Even if they have cloned organs, how does that help systemic frailty?

Life expectancy at 25 hasn't changed dramatically in the last 2000 years, less than 10 years in most parts of the world. Life expectancy at birth has improved dramatically, and that isn't doing much for me, Putin, or Xi at this point. Certainly, the improved healthcare afforded to Putin and Xi is going to help their life expectancy more than the average. All that said, a lot of improvements have happened in the last couple centuries, mostly based on our knowledge. Sure, exponential growth isn't going to happen forever, not even in gaining knowledge, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen in biology for the next century. If it does, extending life expectancy at birth to 150 could be quite conservative.

I always found The Scientist by Coldplay to be a pretty upbeat song about the death of a loved one. And Viva la Vida upbeat, and all about the fall from grace.

Bad simulation design?

Or Ford, GM, Hyundai, VW, John Deere...
