Also you can actually see the stars and can hold a regular sleep schedule unlike in summer where it never actually gets beyond twilight

Is guys really needed after youse?

The guys is needed where there’s no 2.pl pronoun to distinguish from individual you, but youse fixes that

If it’s a grave of someone in living memory, then sure, it’s grave robbing, but even if someone knows it’s their 224x great grandparent then if there’s no memory either directly or even via oral history then it’s definitely archaeology

There’s a very blury line somewhere between the two, but it’s up to whoever shouts loudest or digs quietest to define that

Many places including Japan allow foreigners to register and bring a reasonable supply (3 months or so?) of most drugs that are illegal there but legal in their home country with a valid prescription (most of Europe and North America, Japan & Singapore all do), and the places that don’t let you register them to bring them legally often let you bribe your way out even if you are discovered with them (eg Uzbekistan/Uganda/whatever)

Not if you forget how to talk also

It makes sense for Microsoft to support Linux though…

They tried their hardest to kill Linux under Steve Ballmer but now they’re moving (or in reality have moved) to a model where Xbox and cloud are their main income-generating industries. The former is unrelated to Windows/Linux and the latter is frankly more dependant on Linux than it is on Windows - Microsoft have been supportive of Linux through Azure for years now and it doesn’t exactly make sense for them to be developing two different operating systems, so it’s not far fetched to imagine they’ll drop DOS NT as a backend for windows entirely in the future and move to a Linux backend, with Windows just being a closed source DM with tracking etc added on.

This covers embrace & extend, but I don’t think the extinguish part makes sense - sure they may add features the FOSS community disagree with, but at worst we’re in a similar position to where we are now with things being released separately for Linux and Windows

Either you’re perpetually online and in an echo chamber (hexbear moment) or you’re very much not Irish.

Regardless, republicanism and republican slogans are rightly popular, but the (provisional) IRA is not in the slightest, again just like the Islamic symbolism which is used by Muslims but also by extremists who regular people would want no association with.

Tell me you’re either not Irish or a teenager without telling be you’re a not Irish or a teenager.

Very few people who lived through the IRA of the 70s to 00s would be saying “BuT tHeY wErE tHe GoOd GuYs 100 YeArS aGo” - to most people the Provisional IRA are the IRA because the original IRA is a thing of history books these days.

As for the loyalist paramilitaries, they were terrorists too. Just because they were doesn’t mean the IRA weren’t.

Don’t worry, I’m autistic too, it just so happens that I don’t hide behind it or use it as my whole identity and I’m self-aware enough to put in a bunch of extra effort trying to do the things which don’t come naturally, like seeing things other points of views

It’s fucking hard but at least I don’t live in a perpetually online bubble

To some people pleasing god and liberating people from sinful leadership is something worth fighting for. And when you REALLY fight for something like that it’s a messy process and you’re going to to things that moderate liberals look down on as going too far.

That is the exact argument you are trying to make, and if you think that it is a deranged extremist view you should take a good look in the mirror - I can see autism shining through here due to your utter inability to see others points of view and draw equivalences.

Not at all, they’re both disgusting groups of people (as were & are unionist extremists) who ruined the lives of people they claim to be liberating

Frankly they’re incredibly similar organisations

Funding one of the biggest terrorist organisations of the 20th century doesn’t sound like a very good thing to do… Same goes for all the other Americans who gave them money without realising they were (are) pretty much universally hated across all Ireland - much like how most Muslims hate IS

I mean if you have a car then 0.3% of your net worth is probably at least $1

If you don’t want to donate $1 because you think someone else should be donating more then you’re worse than them

I’m not saying you should, just that if you don’t you shouldn’t judge them

I can’t help but feel soap making itself wouldn’t be as much use as why/when to use it?

Mixing oil with the ashy water (which is as simple as soap’s gonna get) is reasonably easy to do and so useful that even without a civilisation people would probably be doing it either through discovery or by keeping doing it?

I think things like “how to build a wooden bridge so it will hold a laden cart and not fall down” are more likely to be lost without civilisation while still being incredibly useful (although I can’t say I’d be very good for that)

I might add a section on refrigeration methods like zeers or wind towers/yakhchāls if the civilisation would be somewhere hot and dry, otherwise maybe something on using rivers for powering looms, mills etc.

I think you’re near enough alone… Python is up there with the best ways to call other people’s code, due to the support for types beyond string…

Pay a bunch of tax on it then wonder what to do with my extra 580€ a month

In other news there are more than two sets of opinions in the world?

This is my biggest irk about two-party systems. Everyone identifies as one or the other when in reality you’re gonna agree with 20-50% of the policies of one and 40-80% of the policies of the other, yet because they identify as a supporter of x party they feel have to pretend they can do no wrong

Hey he’s just a fan of the company
