Maybe in some scientific settings, but nowhere else. Why would it be logical to use a temperature system in every-day life who's base is set to a temperature that doesn't exist on Earth? Celsius and Fahrenheit are human-scale measurements, useful in daily applications. Celsius is a bit more logic-y, and Fahrenheit is intuitive.

Shocking news: people like good things that help them.

As in, an improvement on the original (fewer famines) model? Or an upgraded, more effective (bigger famines) model?

Maybe this time they won't dismantle the worker's councils after the revolution, that'd be nice.

Crazy to announce that immediately after your party got obliterated in the elections. Maybe give it a minute before saying anything?

Don't stop at the studs, ABOLISH ICE

I think I've got an even better idea, then. Make the carving the main attraction. Cut the shoots down after everyone's done, let it grow until it's tall again, and repeat the process.

You could make it play into some historical traditions of impermanence and cycles of death & rebirth

Call me crazy, but who cares? It's bamboo. Those names will disappear in about a week. Reinstate the entry fee, have a guy water-bottle-spray teens carving up the grass too much, and call it a day. It's not that complicated, nor a huge deal, it's bamboo.

Well fuck, that's great!

It's the difference between the culinary use of the word and the biological use of the word. I thought we already figured that out?

Well, that kid didn't ask to be there, so that's pretty tragic.

That letter looks like a written speech impediment. Like you can't quite pronounce "th" so you say something stuck between "p" & "b."

I know what it is, I just don't especially like the look of thorn.

Clearly, that's Robin.

This shit's so embarrassing

I'm desperately trying to parse what this means. Do you want someone to attach a fire hose to him? Paint him red? I must be missing something obvious.

Why is this a code block?

I've heard it called a "Cold Civil War," which I think captures the feeling right now. Neither side is actively engaged, but the administration is stepping closer and closer to the line, using more and more overt uses of force and rhetoric.

Same reason we don't prosecute any of the other war crimes.

A bit of philosophy/media would help as well, it doesn't help to teach someone science, if they don't understand what science is.

There are Linux Mobile OSs making promising developments, like KDE-Mobile. I'm planning on tossing it on a second-device, just to test it for myself.
