Adam Something, is that you?

That chemical can be very deadly. If enough of it gets into your airway, it can cause asphyxiation.

The GMan has broken containment and is now wandering through our timeline, inserting people into the right points to change the future. I guess this explains the whacky wild ride we’re currently on.

Yup. This is the solution to US control of cashless transactions. The sooner the digital euro can be agreed upon, standardized and rolled out at the EU level, the better.

As a Romanian in a country still outside the Eurozone, I hope there’s provisions to allow us to use it for RON transactions while our economy is still too much of a mess to join.

Why write more than necessary? Surely 26 = 26 is enough.

It’s not a specifically Indian issue, it’s generalized. It’s also not intentional, just a result of the way virality works.

Because the clips most likely to go viral are those that agree with stereotypes (fat American, lazy Mexican, drunk Russian, thieving Romanian, etc ad infinitum), those are the ones you see. Then people make more of them because it’s an easy way to get clicks. They’re popular because they reliably cause the same arguments (and thus engagement).

The machine does not care about anything but maximizing eyeballs on their platforms.

Altered Carbon is a great little sci-fi show that explores what might happen in such a scenario. According to the writer, the slow accumulation of money making money would trend to infinite, leaving a world that makes what we have now look like an egalitarian utopia by comparison.

In a hypothetical well-crafted treaty (which I agree Russia would never sign) there would be penalties attached to breaking the conditions. Sanction snap-backs, for example.

Last Hungarian election international observers declared the election free but not fair. Correct counting of votes, but full government control over Hungarian news media blasting pro-Orban messaging for months.

Assuming the same thing happens, there is a real possibility that he legitimately loses to Peter Magyar’s party. Polls predict that Orban will lose (as usual, take polls with massive skepticism, but that’s the prediction).

One must imagine sisyphis happy

Here’s an absolute classic unix koan about the terminal:

One evening, Master Foo and Nubi attended a gathering of programmers who had met to learn from each other. One of the programmers asked Nubi to what school he and his master belonged. Upon being told they were followers of the Great Way of Unix, the programmer grew scornful.

“The command-line tools of Unix are crude and backward,” he scoffed. “Modern, properly designed operating systems do everything through a graphical user interface.”

Master Foo said nothing, but pointed at the moon. A nearby dog began to bark at the master’s hand.

“I don’t understand you!” said the programmer.

Master Foo remained silent, and pointed at an image of the Buddha. Then he pointed at a window.

“What are you trying to tell me?” asked the programmer.

Master Foo pointed at the programmer’s head. Then he pointed at a rock.

“Why can’t you make yourself clear?” demanded the programmer.

Master Foo frowned thoughtfully, tapped the programmer twice on the nose, and dropped him in a nearby trashcan.

As the programmer was attempting to extricate himself from the garbage, the dog wandered over and piddled on him.

At that moment, the programmer achieved enlightenment

2017-2018 should have been the wakeup call, considering Trump was openly treating NATO as a protection racket in his first term. The EU didn’t take it seriously enough at the time, and now we’re paying the price for trying to ride it out instead of preparing from that point.

Not in an image it doesn’t

Chill, he’s just being a fun guy!

Won’t make a meaningful difference anyways. The Russia-Hungary pipes through Ukraine have been closed since Ukraine’s transit contract expired.

Came to the comments to add exactly this. Am I predictable, or is this just the natural reaction to this image?
