Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*
Attacks leave dead vs killed
My car battery has an 8 year warranty and you can do better with house batteries. And the failure mode is not “it’s broken” but rather “it only holds 80% of what it used to”.
I’ve read his dark materials three times - as a 10 year old, a 15 year old, and a 28 year old. Each time it was a radically different work of genius and I fully expect the fourth time - as a father of two - to hit hard again, in a different way again
It’s getting so dangerous on a bike down there

Insulating is always good but heat pumps can and do work in the vast majority of existing housing stock. The technology has come a long way and installations are improving. “Green” gas is a distraction.
Greens it is then
I mean to be fair I’ve had to do this on macOS like 3 times since installing Tahoe so I’m not totally sure I’ve escaped that any more
The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.
Hmmmmmm.
Oh I’d so play this. Might be neat to be able to encourage energy consuming industries to set up shop near by and pay for some of your capacity or something.
Don’t worry though we can use an agent to summarise it back down with only minor data loss
Yeah “AI” is the stuff we still consider to be magic, the things that used to be AI become specific named features or technologies. Half decent voice recognition with some basic logic statements/pattern matching was widely called AI not that long ago.
Agreed. I think it might be my favourite Tchaikovsky.

Oli’s peeve of the day: bullet point lists where the first word of each item is bolded for emphasis but is only the most important word in some of the items.
