Dolphins are apparently better at detecting smaller things that are difficult to pick up with sonar like divers, so they are utilized as early warning systems.

Can cast fairly well from the phone app or even the browser. Chrome cast is funky though.

Took us forever and is still contested now and again, but we managed to force the sales process yo include product managers or owners. Without an estimate from them, which is created in coordination with the engineers and developers, no offer is being made anymore. Certain sales people are butthurt, because the estimated costs are often too high for our “price sensitive clients” as in: they don’t know how to sell our products on added value rather than on lower cost.

Great! Then they won’t mind if more sanctions are added.

No one needs to buy a rival or steal their tech anymore. Just get them to launch on the stock exchanges and then destroy them with your wallstreet buddies right there with some good old short and distort and cellar boxing, etc.

I am well aware and you are right. But it is a sign that hope isn’t entirely lost just yet. A lot of modern right wing nutjobs are as stupid as they are racist. So their movements might lose important figures to law enforcement before they gain that unstoppable mass.

Then again, looking at the Netherlands and almost any country around us, might be closer than we think and time might already be up.

I am very glad that these raids against these fascist assholes are happening.

With how everything is moving to the right and far right, AfD at all time highs, cases against right wing assholes being ignored, dropped or never even taken, police and military being undermined and having plenty of these assholes in their own ranks, it is good to see action being taken.

Their thoughts and beliefs aren’t fringe anymore. They’ve made it well and truly into the middle of society in all German speaking countries. It went so far that I had to keep copies of the instructions on how to deal with these idiots, on my work PC because I have heard this kind of rethoric from our CEO.

It’s insanity. I hate that conspiracy beliefs have become perfectly acceptable to such a large part of societies everywhere.

Obsidian is very solid and has a huge addon eco system to change it most ways you might thino of.

My best guess is a mix of bad investments in commercial real estate (similar to 2008 regular real estate) an increase in political activism, because people are realizing they can have lives outside work, increased unionization efforts, etc. All of which come with people having more time for themselves and being less directly influenced by “company culture” when they are in an office.

I doubt it has anything to do with productivity at all. Just harder to really influence and control people if they aren’t forced to be where you need them to be to do so.

This might fully go over my head in the moment. I have met so many mega weird men, that I would just assume the other person must have met a similar selection and take it as a compliment and worry a bit about who they socialize with, if I am a good example of a man to them.

So now that Biden admin brokered a ceasefire and hostage exchange in the Palestine Israel conflict, is he still genocidal or?

It might still be more expensive but more resilient to other external factors such as embargoes, wars, whatever might influence delivery of other water sources. Cost isn’t the only factor to decide what technology or solution should be implemented.

I am not ignoring that, it is also vastly more contaminated than fresh water with microplastics and all the other grabage shipping companies and countries have been dumping into it for the better part of a century now.

I’m not saying it is impossible to do or not a potentially sensible option in certain places, I am saying it is not going to be cheaper than tap water anywhere.

Yeah, no. It won’t be cheaper than tap water. The amount of energy required for desalination, clogging or no, is an additional cost on top of what you need to do to get water drinkable with non salinated water. So no matter the energy source, this cost has to be factored in and that will automatically make it more expensive. No free lunches in physics.

Gifs work if you add them from your PC rather than from an URL. Download it, pull it into chat, gift works. It’s not as easy as it should be, but at least it has a workaround

Imperor - mostly long videos playing and teaching Paradox games (currently mainly Crusader Kings 3), but the guy has that kind of voice I like to have just running in the background for comfort, so that works out. Recently started to do some interesting DND/TTRPG stuff as well like little guides for DMs and even quests to put into games. Also looks at smaller games from time to time during steam next fests and such.

I also remeber the plague of malvertising with drive by viruses and Trojans. I haven’t had a single positive virus on my systems in over a decade thanks to adblockers.

It’s insane, because the internet looked entirely different as well. Not these monolithic sites but scattered around.

How about instead of calling me ignorant you take the opportunity to share your insights? Share some sources for the claims you just made and teach, rather than attack me for not knowing better.

My point is that laws are nearly irrelevant at a certain point of wealth unless they’re aggressively enforced specifically against that class of wealthy individuals and companies that are the main culprits in not only evading but also continually eroding tax laws and enforcement. Laws alone do (nearly) nothing to stop any of this.

Tax evasion with existing laws works predominantly because the agencies are underfunded and not equipped to track and follow the tax evasion schemes of the ultra rich, while they simultaneously lobby for that to stay that way or become even worse.

No matter the change of code, these issues will not go away, because there’s always some way to hide what you have, no matter the laws. While the current state of tax laws (no matter where) is very sub-optimal and heavily favors the rich, there is no way that a mere change in law would change that status whatsoever.

Since I personally do not evade taxes, I couldn’t tell you all the loop holes some high powered, high paid professional would find in your proposed scheme, so my assumptions are pretty low level.

Your proposal hinges on even knowing what they own. That’s already heavily obfuscated beyond some prestige projects they like to flaunt. I don’t think that it would be feasible to enforce finding and knowing what they own, because it’s already hidden in layers and layers of proxies, including non-profits, charities, etc.
