Do you know what’s up with the OpenSeaMap project? I have been contributing rocks along the coast and the like. Their last posts are from years ago.

I am thinking about implementing a sync system for depth data from open government sources to their map which would make it useful for navigation.

Indeed.

I really liked the spookybot plotline with bubbles and corpse witch. The director vs spookybot was an interesting continuation.

The cubetown thing is still finding it’s place but I’m confident.

Wasn’t that like… A whole thing in Korra?

Ah, corporations are people when donating for political causes and when ecxercising free speech, but not when driving a vehicle?

We have this in Finland, some rich people have been fined over 200k for speeding. No particular targeting of rich people noted.

They couldn’t before?

You also need to have a Finnish style progressive fines relative to income, which would also extend to companies.

Earthbenders wouldn’t need heels.

Perhaps they didn’t wear them, the user thought the glasses were off and not recording.

Wouldn’t an STL file be sufficient?

On some level I agree with the sentiment that China’s military power aspirations seem to be primarily regional with soft power as we zoom out I would argue for “Don’t listen what leaders say, watch what they do”.

You don’t build giant landing craft unless you consider a marine landing warfare scenario as credible. You don’t build aircraft carriers unless you care about power projection. You don’t need ballistic missiles unless your enemies are far away. All of these things cost money you could otherwise spend on keeping your citizens happy.

There are a lot of verifiable and expensive signals about China’s power posture transitioning towards a more expeditionary one. Now, they might end up carrying the big stick and speaking softly, which is better for everyone – even if the PRC ends up getting their way – but that just means the hard power lever was used in a different way.

It is normal for militaries to conceal the identities of military aviators, doubly so if they have been part of a high profile mission.

That is the charitable view anyway. I also have a hard time inagining trump passing on the photo op.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.

Of course they are, in capitalism, capital likes capital.

Or fools.

I don’t know what the most prestigious journal is in linguistics is (and I eill be disappointed if it is not called The Tongue), but I feel this paper deserves to be there.

Edit: apparently they are called: Linguistics Syntax and Journal of Linguistics

Imaginative bunch, this is.

Understood

That looks like a fun build and I already have a lava lamp! Anyone got an RPG-7 they can spare?
