could you expand on that?

indeed

each of the hay bales on those trucks weighs between 500 and 1600 lbs, normally on the high end. they also suck to haul.

maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It’s a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.

programmer linguistigs is certainly something to behold.

water supply is a limited resource, everyone here appears to be focusing on the wrong thing. when a data center uses water in its cooling noops, that water is made inaccessible anywhere else, such as agriculture, natural habitats, drinking. it does not matter (directly) that the water technically is potable or not after use. Very little water ever leaves the earth system, yet drought exists.

read where?

Just going to point out: russian culture doesnt use nazi in the same way we do; largely they dont view nazis as ontologically bad because of the bigotry or the antisemitism or the genocide of many peoples, but because they were an existential threat to russia or russian ethnicities. a lot of the associations westerners have about nazis are just not widespread in russia. this is why there are a lot of seemingly idiosyncratic phrasings in this kind of stuff.

yes, we had a dog that would shiver to be let into places. …even when it was over 70f. the* learn a behavior gets som thing and sometimes they also learn to lie, lol.

this is an explicit design feature of federation: free association. this is one of the primary reasons it is in theory better than something centralized. this post is layers of wrong.

nothing you’ve said is worth responding to in a novel way, see earlier comment.

“when they’re drunk at 8am”, he didnt say “we”

also note the other quotes in the article that similarly single out Crow.

why care that they removed it at all?

protests are famously a time people put themselves in harms way.

it’s a wasp, it is hungry.

yeah they may have been the same or worse under a different housing model. or much better, but it seems plausible that this wasnt the worst outcome. a modern implementation in a wealthy society not post war would do a lot better, and probably in this specific sector be better than the market alternative.

mmm no, ontological evil

mm no, ontological evil. Also tolkien is not older than any of what i mentioned.

respect is a funny way to frame this. The roots of fantasy, written when ontological evil was commonly seen as a thing present in the real world? those roots? or the roots when ethnic nationalism was the way of geopolitics? or when scientific racism informed much of the modern conception of races in dnd? respect is about the last thing anybody owes fiction, the world can change as beliefs do.

fate is good, a bit too light for me. pbta, burning wheel, blades, cyberpunk, lots of great options out there for folks to try :)
