WastedCucumber

Anyone have a way to read this without a log in? I can't seem to get past the paywall with archive tools.

Aside from that, a friend of mine had a good solution for this - she just moved to Europe, got citizenship, and plans to never return to the states. Granted, she also had a terrible connection with her family, so she didn't stand to lose much anyway.

Edit: WarOnPrivacy has us covered with a link. Thanks!

In the PDF linked in the article there's only the title of the story, and not the author's name.

Maybe he's... not great at Russian? I'm at a loss, same as you.

And I don't have any skill in Russian, but I would say that his translation is not good, or at least was not thoughtfully made, based solely on the fact that he did not write the author's name in it.

I just want to mention that the cat-related example of the author's CatAttack method (table 2) changes the answer from 8 to, of course, 9.

Unfortunately, this is, if I'm not mistaken, in fact the only cat-related CatAttack in the paper, the other methods being financial advice and a red herring. I was eapecting more cat facts, but instead I remain thoroughly disappointed and factless.

Yes, that's it.

It was probably still a half hour late for departure.

I do see this as bloodlust as well.

I think the attacks aren't just about a nuclear weapons program. First, the program, according to US intelligence, does not exist. I'm inclined to believe them. [1] Second, unrelated infrastructure has been attacked, including energy infrastructure, hospitals, and state media.

All of that points not to the destruction of a nuclear weapons program, but of a country. The Israeli government claims to want regime change now... but that claim only came some time after the attacks started and there's no reason in that case to bomb hospitals. The Israeli government claimed the hospitals were "hiding" missle sites, but haven't presented any evidence of that, and have used that excuse many times before now, and were clearly lying.

Ah, plus the countries involved are engaged in a separate act of bloodlust at the moment. Which doesn't directly mean that the attacks against Iran are the same, but it certainly colors the picture.

Hate to break it to you, but you'd have to find support from the IRS / Ways and Means Committee first. For these institutions, the primary characteristic of US Citizenship is filing your taxes, no matter where to live or if you've ever even lived in the country. This puts the USA in the same odd category as Eritrea, Hungary, and I believe one other country.

And despite the difficulty of revoking US citizenship, the rate of revocations has increased over the last decade or two. If there was such a simple way to toss out that old rag, I'm sure there would be many more (and a little less tax revenue).

So I'm afraid* the USA is much more transactional than you think, at least regarding citizenship.

*I must admit this is sarcasm. Thank god the US is transactional rather than so stubbornly patriotic about citizenship.

Just a little PSA for anybody getting curious about psychedellics from this post. If you have a family history of psychosis/scizophrenia etc., don't fuck around with it.

Especially if you've tried before and you've felt paranoid (or same with weed) then really, it's just not for you.

On the other hand, if you have some psychosis in the family tree, or felt paranoid from LSD/MDMA/THC, then try out meditation, cause you might find the divine is already close to your sober mind.

I don't get it though - how does this help prevent pecking? The only reasoning seems to be in the 1911 article, where it suggests they're made to protect the chickens' eyes.

Same here. I think I hadn't ever felt so hopeful for the future as I was while reading that book. I doubt that our world will turn out so positive.

Genau!

103. Wear sunscreen.

Probably the title should have the correct capitalization then. Cause I was fully expecting a speech synthesis tool that sounded like llamas talking human language and now I'm bummed out!

I'm not sure what you question is getting at, but yes, the carbon will eventually be released from any wood. If wood-as-carbon-storage was going to be actively applied towards climate change, then it would be important to control the rate of released, by, for example, using the wood in buildings, burying it, or submerging it in water, so that it wouldn't decompose from fungus or termites.

>Matthew Johnson, a professor of public policy at Northumbria University in the U.K., who works on basic income and authored a book on the topic, called the findings “unsurprising.”

Seems like the article undermines its own headline.

I was curious about this too and did some searching. Found this source

as well as the wikipedia page

I didn't see anything about tattoos or the eye makeup, but the loincloth definitely came up. That was their typical clothing, regardless of weather, although I find kind of hard to believe.

Coudln't tell you but he looks like he's having the time of his life.

Thank you for posting this, this is a very important follow-up to the parent's linked paper.

I'm a stratospheric scientist. Back when the reports were written, that CFC's were still being emitted in China, our community was pretty bummed and weren't very hopeful, but we were very happily surprised when China got those emmissions under control so quickly.

And of all the metrics, spending has increased the most in the examined time period. Up from 36% in 1989.

I think that's a very narrow and largely inaccurate view of revolutions.

A lot of revolutions were carried out by people with very little resources - Mao led his army from under-developed hills, the October Revolution didn't have much of an industrial base either, nor did the left in the Spanish civil war (although the military eventually won, but hey, they had a fighting chance).

And aside from that, many revolutions happen relatively peacefully. For example Chile or South Africa. Although the latter case did have some violence and property destruction.

And aside from that, guns in the USA (assuming we're talking about this and not Europe) are cheap and plentiful. And a large, determined, but poorly-armed opposition has often beaten the smaller, well-armed forces of decadent states in the past.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that though - even a peaceful movement can succeed if it's widespread.

I was curious too, I guess it must be this one.

I learned that a vanlife just isn't for me. Too cramp to be comfortable, too cumbersome to really feel the freedom of mobility, and I'm alway worried about running someone over.

I also learned that travelling by bike is a lot of fun, and how to build a bike myself.

> This survey is refuting that argument. AI art can be used in media just like human art and people can't really tell (or care if they can't tell the difference).

Sure, as long as the AI art - and the human art it might be presented with - is presented without context and in low resolution.

Such as?
