Then, I think your best chances of survival would be being as invisible as possible. Only react to urgent issues, don’t address systematic issues and if you’re forced to give a statement, remain vague and unclear. It’s not great for society in the longterm but I think any disruptive change will make people confused, annoyed, insecure or angry. Even though they get used to the change quickly or even like it, instant voting will be your death sentence.

Another strategy may be to distract people from issues. Sport events, drugs, parties, censorship. Keep up the illusion of everything going well while the world goes down the drain.

How often do these vote cycles occur? I would argue that most distuptive changes will make things worse before they change to the better.

Ending capitalism, forgiving all debt etc. will lead to huge chaos in the short and medium term. Even thought in the long term, it might turn into a much better system, you’d need a lot of time to rebuild society and people to see the positive in it.

I think that’s also an issue of today’s democracies. If you’re elected, you have just a relatively short period of time before the next election. If you aim for big reforms, you might be still in the ‘make things worse’ phase after the first legislation period and people will vote for an opposing party. They undo everything you did, again making things worse without ever achieving their own vision.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

Are you aware of a study that systematically compared margarine and butter in that regard? I searched on Google Scholar but wasn’t able to find any trustworthy bigger / international papers. Some small scale ones looking only at a handful of products in Pakistan but nothing that feels really reliable.

In Germany someone sent 19 popular margerine, butter and hybrid brands to a laboratory in 2015 to debunk the myth of trans fatty acids in margarine. Indeed, all plant-based products scored significantly better. Butter and ghee had 4 to 10 times higher amounts of trans fatty acids.

The author of this study (if you want to call it a study) wanted to proof exactly that. Therefore, I personally would take its outcome only with a grain of salt. But as I didn’t find any more trustworthy sources, I’d be glad to see yours.

And then the prototype will be just the regular robotaxi where he stuffed a bunch of letters on the passender seat. Car is meant go from house to house and then honk untill people come down and pick up their stuff from the seat. Unfortunately, the vehicle only works in movie studios with a pre-programmed route. Those of you not living in a movie studio will have to pick up their stuff at the next Tesla dealer for a small fee of $10.

Turn water to wine and that guy overthere into nuggets.

Cool idea, thanks for sharing the video!

Okay, that’s just the gay anthem according to south park. :D

I’d love the UK to rejoin the EU one day. Obviously, participation shouldn’t be hop on / hop off but as long as all prequisites are met I would say the bigger the better.

There’s also vegetable oil and margarine with butter flavor btw. that is way healthier.

This. Get him a pile of cards from craigslist or a similar 2nd hand side. I’d probably go for private sellers that are just quitting the hobby, so you have a better mix of good and ordinary cards compared to what @[email protected] described. But I would say especially younger kids can be impressed by quantity far more than quality.

That’s a valid point indeed.

At least an integrated modem wouldn’t set my local network at risk. They might still collect sensible data with microphones, cameras and share usage profiles etc. But from my perspective that’s at least technically decoupled from other devices.

It annoys me that you pointed out my shortsightedness. Straight to jail with you!

Under the province’s wildlife act, it is illegal to “worry, exhaust, fatigue, annoy, plague, pester, tease or torment” an animal

I also want to be protected by this act, please!

From my perspective you can’t bet both sided and still expect gains on average. Sure you can be lucky that the one bet wins more than the other loses but typically that doesn’t work if you bet on two opposite outcomes. There are no magical and safe ways to multiply money other than maybe being super rich already too big to fail.

Oh, where is that? As an inspiration in case I decide to emigrate one day. 😄

Maybe I phrased it in a confusing way. Coffee does not smell like dog poop to me. It’s just exactly as disgusting. Can’t really compare it to anything else but it’s a very intense smell that I just can’t stand. I noticed that microwaving chocolate milk can lead to a similar smell but by far not as bad as coffee.

It’s not roasted stuff in general that I despise and also not related to milk.

The smell of coffee. I don’t know what’s wrong with me (or the alternatively the vast majority of people) but it smells as disgusting to me as a steaming pile of dog poop. I learned to ignore it to some extend but I still hate it in all its variations: The powder, freshly roasted beans, freshly brewed coffee, cold coffee, coffee breath, …
