Strange; I grew up with 3rd and I have the impression that 5th is much less prescriptive than its predecessor (I'm ignoring 4th entirely as an anomaly; I never played more than two sessions of it so I don't have any insight about it). 3rd had oodles of rules, prestige classes, feats, etc. whereas 5th to me has more of a "make stuff up for flavor" intent behind it. I think this is a direct result of 5th edition's focus on streamlining.

This could be because I was involved with Living Greyhawk in 3rd edition, which was by its nature bound pretty strictly to RAW; or because I came into 5th edition when it was brand new and rules-barren. But I feel like they lifted a lot of restrictions in 5th edition. Example: alignment restrictions on classes. These days I don't even play with alignments at all, but the chaotic good paladin of freedom that I rolled in 5th edition would explicitly contradict the 3rd edition rules. And spells that used to interact with alignments have now been rewritten to target more objective things like creature type instead.

Of course he donates to both political parties, he's not a moron. Of course he uses the most advantageous legal tax strategy available. Almost every US company prevents union organization (nothing they've done comes close to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Walmart#Labor_uni..., and I wouldn't be surprised if companies astroturfed union initiatives in competitors) He is a private citizen and just because he's wealthy it's not his job to fix the US financial system.

> But I respectfully decline your advice and take the opposite stance that it is my duty to not devote my time for years to staged academic exercises but instead work on real problems

I have no idea what particular university or course you are talking about. You might be right for some of them.

But I have been working only 5 years after finishing university and I can already spot right away backgrounds in engineering, computer science or none.

It's not about the piece of paper, never cared about those.

It's not for everyone, so it's your choice, really. But I had the time (and money) to go through very theoretical cs courses and I am extremely happy I did not choose the "real problems". I feel I have a lot more options, and I can understand the various problems I find a lot better.

I will admit I found the applications of a lot of the theory only much later than I initially though, and I don't use the theory of some of the course I followed, but I still find that knowledge irreplaceable.
I had (and shared with colleagues) a few "so that's why we studied that!" moments, I found those very insightful, sorry you might not have had yours.

Good luck in life, but I guess if your experience has been only of "staged academic exercises" either you did not get the point or they could not transmit it.

Who in the article that received donations was convinced of insurrection? The article is not even alleging that any of them committed insurrection, or even entered the Capitol.

> While there’s no evidence yet that Fuentes entered the Capitol — in fact, he explicitly denies entering the building — he was present at the initial rally and seen outside the Capitol as the rioting began.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Fuentes convicted and imprisoned, but no amount of hyperbole and false claims will make that happen.

Could we continue using fossil fuels for processes like that and use excess solar and wind for carbon capture to offset emissions from those processes?
The shift from the attention economy to the passion economy doesn't seem permanent. From another perspective, one could say that people have more time available than before, be it due to less hours of work or less transit time (since some people work at home). And given that people are only fans after investing a significant chunk of time, one can conclude that this sudden increase in free time allowed for people to become invested in a fanbase.

Once everything goes back to normal, so to speak, or at the very least, once there is less time for people to enjoy themselves, then this shift in the economy would reverse back to an attention economy.

I guess it's just the natural course for anything popular and marketable, really -- although thankfully, Wizards of the Coast has continued to publish some really excellent (at least in my opinion) D&D content. Plus, if you're willing to sift through a lot of so-so stuff, there's a lot of really great free or low-cost amateur homebrew stuff out there. That kind of thing is definitely a result D&D's popularity explosion.
Agreed with you. When I read the article, the last parts of the quotes below stood out to me that he's basically acting as a stand-in for a licensed therapist:

"At times he will participate in a gaming session to make up numbers, turn up to send off people who are moving away, accompany those filing for divorce, or listen to health care workers who have become mentally unwell due to their exhausting work."

Also, "She asked him to stay beside her when meeting a man for the first time, and also had him listen to her talk about her views on love, which she could not divulge to her friends..."

I've seen a therapist off and on over the years and can't recommend it enough. I also found it pretty helpful as a startup founder/CEO for pushing back on my assumptions/biases.

Page 4 in this USDA Ag Stats report says it's 897M acres: https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Todays_Reports/report...

"Total land in farms, at 897,400,000 acres, decreased 2,100,000 acres from 2018."

I've seen the 330M acres figure elsewhere as the "prime" farmland area rather than total farmland and the blog post you cite has figures that include fallow, idle, and pasture farmland categories above the crop usage figure of 330M acres.

In any case, cropland is 2.5 orders of magnitude higher than GP's calculation rather than a full 3.
Yes. Yes. This sounds like a regurgitation of an American view of international trade law and treaties therein. International waters should be policed by international organisations or do you find a flaw in that logic? Not the UN, not NATO, an international body independent of any single state.

> Having a single power guarantee free navigation allows ships to cross the world while avoiding complicated jurisdiction divides

So the rest of us are to assume the US taxpayer and their government are acting in good faith? nothing in return for having all those ships and men out there for months at a time? Whats the cost to the US for protecting assets from Guinea-Bissau?

> Someone needs to prevent piracy and unlawful seizure for international shipping to be possible at its current scale

I don't think you get the gist of my argument. To put it simply, to whom does the US account in their capacity as police of international waters?

Who said the US must be that 'someone'? Even the UN - if we won't kid ourselves is a US institution - might have been acceptable. A single power's whims are to be trusted for what reason? How do we know they wont collaborate with Pirates and other bad actors? Who will bring them to book or answer questions?

They are also wrong sometimes, and should be called out about it, so why not stick to facts rather than hyperbolizes like:

> Yet these are variations on the fact that all Palestinians living under Israeli rule are treated as inferior in rights and status to Jews who live in the very same area.

Which again is a simple LIE since Palestinian citizens within sovereign Israeli territory have the EXACT same rights.

Want to talk how the past influence the present and so they might have less opportunities due to some discriminations in the past? Sure. Saying that TODAY they are "inferior in rights" is just a LIE.

That is why B'tselem's post is an OPNION and not a peer reviewed article.

The biggest proof of it all is how none of the European sanction Israel. If it so obvious that it such a one sided power dynamic, then France, Britain and Germany would act on it a long time ago. But they don't. Since it is not.

You might think that "I am resisting the truth", but I'm just a spoiler to everywhere outside the Internet sphere. No one really think Israel is an apartheid state (majority). And using hyperbolae will not convince anyone. I really don't care what happen a long as peace is achieved but this is not the way.
There's also "Notify & Fitness for Mi Band" for Android [1] which I used, which was ace. Packed full of advanced features like ability to change what calorie / basal metabolic rate calculations were used, export of the data locally / dropbox, export to google fit + strava etc., no dependency on Xiaomi's servers. Closed source, though. But appears to be one single persons personal project.

Those products are awesome if you want a lower-end fitness tracker. Originally I bought a Mi Band 4 because I saw it reported itself as a bluetooth HR accessory, meaning you could get continuous heart rate on bluetooth if you paired your device -- whereas FitBit's protocol was encrypted and proprietary. Did some cool stuff with that (a shirt with an LED matrix screen that pulsed at the wearers heart rate!)

Wouldn't say the hardware is "vastly better", I found the continuous heart rate monitoring to be a bit sluggish -- i.e. it averaged out HR over a longer period than the fitbits I've had did, so you were less likely to detect the peaks and recovery periods during excercise. Otherwise it was much of a muchness, but cheaper. I imagine the cheaper HW probably meant corners were cut with the sensors and firmware, but being hardly the athlete I didn't care outside of heart rate sensing.

Possible toxicity of something that we deem safe could be an explanation.

A side comment. I am 42. When I was younger, in the late 90s, getting into physical fight was much more common than today. These days even drunk young guys seem to be content with hurling a few insults. (For record, I am a peaceful person and the possibility of getting beaten up for no good reason was something I definitely did not look forward to during my old pub crawls.)

I wonder if this is actually a manifestation of population-wide testosterone drop.
The incentives don't need to be different, it just goes back to my underlying philosophy of business.

People will always exist. Corporations do not need to. I only believe corporations / companies should exist in situations where 1. they are providing value 2. capturing a portion of that value. Basically any corporation that is managing to do 2 without first doing 1 (or is managing to capture more value in step 2 than they are creating in step 1) is a business that should not exist.

As such, companies should not exist in spaces where they are not providing added value, and it is impossible for them to do so as a land-owner, because the owner is not providing any value, the land was always there. They didn't create it. Yes, Bob Gentry is not providing any value either, but again people will always exist, companies should not unless they serve a distinct purpose from what a person can.

But on top of that I do actually think the incentives are different. Companies and people are fundamentally different beasts. For starters, companies are effectively amoral.
Critical thinking is not an effective antidote to propaganda especially that which is spread peer-to-peer.

It sounds good and is an intuitive concept but it's not enough to rely on critical thinking.
One should always be aware of where one's money is coming from, otherwise one doesn't know who holds leverage over one's future cash flow. Bitcoin is not special in that regard, it's just another instrument for transmitting value.
45% of the donation went to Nick Fuentes, who was at the capitol, but denies entering the building.

Nick Fuentes is possibly going to face charges of incitement, though, because he was addressing the crowd through a megaphone and urging them on while specifically mentioning that the vote counting had already been halted. Amusingly enough he was being called out on this alt-right personality Richard Spencer yesterday.
Smart move from a smart, rich man. Lots of global farmland will lose yield do to aquifer depletion, snowcap accumulation changes in western watersheds, heat waves, and storm damage. Food security is a thing of the past. High quality farmland is not an infinite resource and almost totally utilized outside of where it's been replaced with residential development in the Northeast US.

Parler, as far as I know, was billed as a refuge for all those too radical for Twitter and FB. Not all the people of course.

I agree with you on censorship and honestly there's no right way of doing this. What if someone in a certain position used Twitter to call for another gathering to "save our country" fight and show "our strength" and then we have dead senators and army boots in the ground? You can say we want no violence right after saying "fight like hell for the country" but... Maybe a timeout was the lesser of evils?

I suggest the problem is more about you knowing, or the public knowing, that the funds are linked to it. After all, some dollars you receive might have a sordid past, but there's not such an easy way for anyone to publicly demonstrate exactly what it was.
if we cover all the shoreline with 10 story apartment buildings, it could be 40 ft per household! the larger problem would be having an acceptable amount of green space on the other side I think.
Any day now . . .
We can build up though. I might be worth 4 feet of shoreline, but my 40 foot sea view apartment is in a 50 floor apartment building, which leaves a lot of the shoreline unpopulated.

That assumes everyone wants shore view. With young kids I prefer my house to be far away from places weak/non swimmers can drawn. I know many other reasons why someone would choose to not live somewhere far from the sea if they get a choice.
And corporate farms are known for severely depleting the topsoil, which is both a carbon sink and a natural source of self-replenishing fertilizer. And are also more likely to do monoculture farms which are less resource efficient and more susceptible to disease and adverse weather.

If you feel you have to tell me that your family is full of holocaust survivors before you tell me you're involved in a software distro, something is very wrong. This is software not biker gangs. I'm not judging you. I hope you understand that. One or two other people maybe, but not you.

I've not called anyone a Nazi. I didn't commit Mein Kampf twice. I didn't put an Auschwitz joke in the manual. Neither did you.

It was this[1] that convinced me to spend time with Plan 9. I've spoken to some really nice 9Front users and contributors. I've read and watched cool things by people like mycroft, Sigrid and yourself. Then at the other end of the scale there's this:

For every person you explain to, there are many more who just call you all a bunch of Nazis. People have slid into my DMs and just outright openly called everyone in 9Front nazis for over a week now. The idea is ridiculous yet it persists. That's obviously not the association you want for yourself, but it's one you're aware of or you wouldn't be here.

You can't whack-a-mole that association. All you can do is choose to change it or choose to own it.

EDIT: Seems I can't reply to Ori directly so here it is: No I'm not insinuating you're a Nazi sympathizer. I wouldn't. The whole point of my reply is that you are not and I know you are not but lots of others won't draw that conclusion and you won't be able to correct them all. If I thought you were involved in that sort of shit I'd come straight out with it.

Ok Ori, you believe what you want to believe. I've been 100% up-front about everything so far. If you're relying on insinuations then you're reading into stuff that just isn't there. You're the third 9Front guy to come at me, and I'm done trying to be polite about it so I'll withdraw.

There are a lot of people who assume that cryptocurrency is an anonymous way to transmit value and while it's somewhat possible for the technically capable, it's good to educate people about the reality. Cash is often more anonymous than a publicly distributed ledger especially when the recipient and sender addresses are known. I of course do not support terrorism or funding terrorism, but I do support educating people so they don't take a risk they shouldn't have in the first place. Better to donate those funds to a local charity in your community that will provide constructive use for your immediate area.
Women already get to play with their hormones without a prescription, but for some reason we make it really difficult for men to safely adjust their hormone levels. There's a lot of misconceptions about testosterone and how it can be used to benefit lots of men. If you go into any doctor and they have tour testosterone tested, they probably won't give you TRT unless your T is below the low-bound of "normal", but being on the low-bound means you're not at your optimal. There's also lots of scare material about TRT out there for people who don't want to body build; supposedly you're guaranteed to have cardiovascular issues, shrunken testicles, 'roid rage, and so forth. If you keep your T at its optimal level but not going significantly past that, the chances of serious issues are minimal.

TRT aside, young people need to get their vitamin D, get exercise, eat little to no refined sugar, filter their water, and be allowed to co-mingle; when males and females are separated for long periods of time, testosterone decreases even more.
