"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

My extra radical far loony left position is that no one should ever be allowed to make a profit from academic publishing. It is a public good. See also: education, healthcare (on a good day, public transport…)

One of the things that really gets me about this policy is that it doesn’t have the impact its supporters seem to think. It don’t affect numbers arriving but it does actively harm integration of those who come. It’s just a really, really bad policy. There’s no case for it being “necessary” at all.
having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you:
you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.
when it all comes crashing down it'd be funny if this was the paper trail that gets them
(Maybe I should bet on it?/
Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.
still from the film 'watership down', depicting fiver, a clairvoyant rabbit, looking back over his shoulder with trepidation and fear as the field above him fills with blood

The more I hear about inverse proportion, the less I like it.

This is a policy choice.
Actually, symmetry arguments rule out both of these theoreticals. Destructive interference drops their wave function to approximately zero, so that they're only observed temporarily, during high-energy collisions. Only skeleton and luge are considered stable enough to be Olympions.
one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files
You can place pancakes, crepes, and scrambled eggs on a simplex where the variables are the ratios between milk, eggs, and flour, (with another small axis for baking soda.)
We have explored too little of this manifold. More breakfasts can exist than we have known.

Ah, perdão, falha minha! Tive contato com vários sistemas privados e públicos, mas não sabia do censo
Não sei se é tão preto e branco assim...eu morei lá por um tempo, me classificava latino, e não torciam o nariz pra isso (inclusive tive acesso a eventos por conta dessa denominação)
My theory remains that the public only cares about immigration because Rupert Murdoch cares about immigration and if he didn’t run the immigrant crime family of networks and newspapers people would rightly look at you like you’re crazy if you said the US should treat its border like the Berlin Wall

Reminds me of video game systems where the trains are actually giant hats on NPCs.
Screenshot from Tumblr User hatingongodot: “In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“ LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy User Shitacademicswrite: i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation! Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.
Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!
