There’s a lot of jackets in November with 20° weather, at least in Melbourne - I got so many chuffed looks for wearing a T-shirt in cloudy weather

There’s an overweight of outcasts in gaming spaces, which is why queer people are incredibly overrepresented. Both among developers, players and in games themselves

But for the same reasons, you’ll find gaming related echo chambers that funnel people into hate filled ideology such as incel culture. A different kind of outcasts.

Sure gaming have become quite mainstream and you can find almost any sub group who games. But most “normies” games less than the outcasts, as they don’t need the escapism it allows for.

Within the more “normal people” group, there’s also variations. Some allow for hatred to exist within the communities they act within, some don’t, some allow for queer safe spaces others turn around the second they see it.

It’s a nuanced topic, which could turn into paragraph after paragraph. But outcasts are overrepresented within gaming. Especially rural outcasts, as they aren’t able to find a physical group to mirror themselves in

The thing is contamination pollutes upwards, so if leafy greens have 1 mg of radiation per daily intake. The meat from herbivores would be something like ten times that amount and carnivores would be ten times the contamination of herbivores.

We’re seeing this effect with micro plastics and fish, the higher up in the food chain a fish is, the more micro plastics they have

The hunting equipment can be for other scenarios.

Financial systems breakdown, into full anarchy. I reckon a cabin in nowhere, hunting equipment and barn full of seeds would be pretty rad for that scenario.

But yeah, eating plants is better than eating animals when contamination is a risk

There’s also laws in place if you’re in focus, that requires permission.

Sure I can take a picture of a plaza and if you happen to be on that photo, that’s bad luck. But I can’t zoom in on you garbling down a spinach roll.

For your scenario of going too close and forcing their way to film voyeur stuff, sounds like harassment

But in case of a radioactive catastrophe, how long would you need the bunker to last?

Then they used big data algorithms, to determine the most effective strike - Based on the old data.

Had a person review for 5 seconds and rubber stamped it. We know Israel uses big data/AI algorithms in Gaza, there’s no reason to believe the US doesn’t use them for analytical purposes for their strikes

As long as blue ray discs are released, there’ll be webshops selling them

For digital media, pirating increases the number of sales

From our understanding, life is likely to start in water - Not sure how much that’s impacted by winds

But I recon life can evolve in billions of directions, so over time something larger might survive on ground and in air

Why would you make it harder than it is?

libre office and you got an open source Office suite

I believe that’s very regional, if there’s a local hiking club you could try to reach out to them.

There’s often forums dedicated to hiking, which have all sorts of hikes mapped out.

But a map service like mapy.com (formerly .cz), has the official marked routes as part of their mapping data

And best of all, it’s based on an American average

Gravity walking is the missing link, lift your foot and let gravity pull it down. You’ll be going down almost running and it takes barely any energy.

It’s best in places without other humans, as you’re basically a locomotive and it takes time to slow down

Only ISBN’d books, so anything earlier than 1965 is currently not requested by them

Now we just need to proof they’ve copied the files onto a second hard drive, so they own two copies

If we’re gonna keep it as a copyright issue, I think people are mostly mad they’re not able to reprint the books themselves if they wanted to. We’re not speaking from a copyright position

The incentive is literally that it’s cheaper to scan, that’s all.

But given they’re only interested in books with ISBN’s, I recon they’re already scanned and available in digital forms. If they’re newer than the 80s, they’re most likely in a document file in a server related to the publisher.

Honestly surprised they’d rather source physical books, than just request various publishers for a price for their combined works - Only reason I can think of, is the physical scan makes other scans like a mobile photo easier to recognise and respond correctly to

If a big company needed a lot of something specific, they’d probably pay a pretty penny and let people going to small lot auctions accumulate a sizeable amount and then buy it from them.

It’s not impossible to buy stuff from small lots at scale, as long as you’re willing to pay a premium

What a wild ride of a Wikipedia page

They fled to the US for amnesty because they don’t intend to do so, but it would sour the American relationship with the UK even further
