  • Kinda how they were "last man standing" in WW2. Everybody else got severely fucked and they won them over by with the Marshall aid program which got us to a bi-polar world with NATO in which the US was the hegemony.

    After the fall of the Soviet Union and before the rise of China there was only one superpower that could act as such militarily and then US continued their power trip.

  • If it's saying "cool" as an end to the conversation then it's usually pretty rude. You need to show a bit of interest with a quick follow up like "how did you get it?" or "it took you a while?" and then ending the conversation is fine.

  • Soon Linux will be big enough that stores will offer a selection of operating systems. It might be possible already to ask for a custom built PC deal with a discount for no bringing your own OS or having them install it for you.

  • Content is not being actively pushed upon you, rather it's you that decide what you see like Facebook was at the beginning.

    It allows you to use the platform to keep up with other people's lives instead of watching ads, news article someone liked and you're not interested in and ragebait.

  • I personally really like lifting weights and running an the gym. You can do it all at home but having a barbell, squat rack, bench press, weight plates, dumbbells, treadmill, pull down machine, rowing machine and so on at home would take a lot of space at home.

    Having it at a different place also helps a lot with motivation IMO, there's a strong "at the gym I work out" effect instead of being at home where I can take a break and "continue later".

  • Great first step but the vast majority of the work still needs to be done. There's a big difference in getting 300m to the air and back and low earth orbit but Honda is an excellent candidate to get it done.

  • I'm on the opinion that marketing anything related to addiction is immoral and should be illegal. This includes cigarette, gambling, sugar, drugs (looking at you oxycontin), alcohol and even caffeine.

    There is a backdoor into people's brains that should not be used. Allow people go get their own coffee and sugar but don't remind them it's missing when they're quitting.

    (Coffee has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the overall death rate in adults when consuming something like 2+ cups a day so marketing it could be beneficial but the chance kids getting addicted to caffeine is something to avoid regardless.)

  • I'd still recommend a filter. It's not just for drinking it straight but pasta, rice, soup and other boiling makes a huge difference.

    Eating a spoon of rice and have it taste like sink water with carbs is not a good vibe. I want it to taste like rice or rice with minerals.
