I’m not sure if anyone else said, but Uncle Iroh from Avatar the last airbender.
One of the best farther figures in media. His treatment of Zuko; as Zouk is finding out who he is and what he stands for. Truly inspiring role model stuff.
Also Bandit Healer 👍
2001 first introduced to Fedora (1?) A friend installed on my laptop. Used it for a little; but it didn’t do the things I wanted. A little while later I was back on XP.
I tried Ubuntu 6.04; it wasn’t ready. Back to XP.
I tried Ubuntu 8.04; it was really close. Back to XP.
I tried Ubuntu 10.04; and have had Linux ever since. I have jumped to various distros over the years, I kept coming back to Mint though. I currently have a couple of computers running Bazzite and the rest on Mint.
I do keep Windows VM’s around; XP, 7 and 10. But they barely get turned on these days.
I haven’t had Windows installed on a machine in 16 years; even in 09 it only lasted a couple of months till I got time to replace it.
Balgging, getting the kids hooked!
It is scorching hot, when was December ever cold.
Na; it is not.
Singing carols with my kids; one instantly got that at 4!!!
The moral is being useful is the only value; taking the piss about physical differences is completely normal.
Santa (the authority in the song) doesn’t give a shit that the other reindeer “used to laugh and call him names”; until Santa found a use for him.
Seems google is trying to keep file sync on android for only themselves.
Syncthing no longer developing for Android.
No resolution from back and forth with Google, play store policies and lack of developers.
The only really limiting factor is the pressure holding ability of your cylinder wall and the sealing surfaces.
Hey you wanna lift 6000T, hydraulics will do it!
I like to explain it using the word “spend”.
Like all levers you spend one quantity to get another. Usually distance/force; you spend distance to get force, or you spend force to get distance.
Hydraulic pressure is pretty crazy, power densities can get insane.
Take over Greenland, and rename it Red,White and Blueland
Oh wait that one is already taken!
Anyone…anyone…
Onion writers currently crying into their morning whiskey.
Well at least it is bullet proof…not sure about missile strike proof though.
As a long time climber, watching that documentary is really gripping/terrifying. The bit at the end when he says what it was like walking over the top; no one noticing what he had done, because he didn’t have ropes and a harness etc…wow.
Fae Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Fae Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Fae Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Fae Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Fae Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Fae Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
Wow this is such a big topic, every time I come to explain my reasoning…I give up, there is just too much to cover.
My opinion: Short answer is yes we have free will!
Very compressed longer answer:
I have read a lot from various points of view; and very broadly, the “no free will” camp has a lot of post-hoc rationalization to explain away why things happen.
For a while, I was leaning to the “no free will” camp, but so many arguments end unsatisfactorily.
So to boil it down to the most basic reason why I think we have free will. We feel like we do, and there is no compelling evidence to show that we don’t. There is currently no predictive power to say what anyone will do given any situation; at best we can give a probabilistic group of possible decisions, but this is not predictive this is just a chaotic model that we know the constraints of.
I really could go into more detail…
Mistakes aren’t stupid, they are human. Hell we are even making our AI in our own image now…
Send to BBC, Al Jazera, RT and the major US outlets.
Make sure they all know the others got the info also.
