Biden’s going hard on diplomacy, most of which we don’t see. We do see some of the carrot and stick approach he’s using. The stick is the canceled shipment. The promise of future arms is the carrot he’s dangling in front of isreal.

Biden reeeeealy wants to see Netanyahu gone

They are both viable options that have different advantages.
VBox has a nice friendly GUI.
KVM is fast & efficient.

Double feature:

Ed Wood

Plan 9 from Outerspace

The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests

The Police Squad TV show failed because nobody was used to paying attention to TV.

+1000 for 12 Angry Men. A fantastic drama for a group to watch together.

Spook = ghost (aka a soul unhoused a living body)

Sounds like you are looking for a mentor, “life coach”, or even a therapist. Life coaches are unregulated and ill defined. The kind you would want are not likely to be looking for such a young client. Is there an older family member you can talk to (not parent or sibling)?

Talking through things can bring clarity, even if the person you are talking to has no advice.

Google is an advertising company. Their goal is to maximize profit from advertising. Avoiding government regulation is part of that goal. By imposing “good enough” self-regulation they hope keep governments from stepping in. Their solution is definitely better than the currently dying 3rd party cookie free-for-all.

Mozilla is right to question whether “targeted” ads are a good idea at all. I personally find it easier to ignore non-targeted ads, myself. But, if Mozilla decides not to cooperate & holds out for the Platonic ideal tech, they may cause ad dependent web sites to block Firefox completely. That would not be good for any of us.

Chitown for Chicago.

I’ve aways assumed “normie” was an insult. But I might be over sensitive to such things, becaise “cis” also sounds like an insult to me.

This can only be proved by killing everyone.

I don’t find this creepy at all. All the “personalities” in my brain are just parts of me.

In other news… I lost the game.

Not while fusion is 30 years away. They’ll wait until it’s closer to 2 years.

A reactor that produces enough of its own fuel… It’s starting to sound like a perpetual motion machine.

Nobody knows

It was 30 years away in the 1950s and still is.
Controlled fusion is harder than we thought & may be harder than we think.

Stay in school kids. Study Physics & Engineering!

This is how we arrive at the “always 30 years away” trope.

Once the top 1% are eaten, there will be a (slightly poorer) new top 1%. We’ll eat them. Eventuallt we will all rise to the top and be eaten. Thus, the circle of life will continue.

We still don’t know anything other than wild hand waving speculation about the eventual costs of fusion power. The ultimate solution may require a ton of unobtanium-spice alloy that has been tempered in a midoclorian bath. We have no F-ing clue what it’ll cost. But I can guarantee that there will be state sponsored conspiracy theories about all aspects of it. So let’s wait before we start fighting over the conspiracies. They are not ripe yet.
