But conscript is part of that. Nobody who is sane sticks around, but they still have plenty of bodies because everyone has to serve their time.

Conscript armies are bad at offense.

When people say they want the Google of 15 years ago what they mean is they want the Internet of 15 years ago.

Beaker (yellow) and Bunsen (blue) would say hi, but they are too busy being annoyed I woke them from their nap.

1 is really hard for me because I'm bad at ranking things I love.
But 2? Robert Cormier's books, probably The Chocolate War or The Bumblebee Flies Anyway. Children's/YA books that teach you the world is going to hit you and you are going to lose, and that's humanity. (Also favorite book contenders)

Any Bolshevik in the 21st century does not exactly have strong critical thinking skills.

Because they are completely taken with the story that the soviet union was a utopia that was destroyed by evil foreign capitalists and every single bad thing you hear about it was propaganda. Failure has to be external, it's conspiracy brain just like any other conspiracy brain.

Hey, I learned how to drive on a 70s Alfa Spyder, sometimes you don't need the excitement of wondering if you need to fix your valves again.

Being angry all the time is a good way to not get anything productive done for your cause because it makes it impossible to take incremental gains as positives. Brunch is good.

Putting Honda and Toyota together like that is not right. Toyotas are snoozemobiles but Honda puts some effort into the driver's experience.

Same's true of fascists, and in many of the same ways.

Probably not games or movies, but if I had that kind of money I'd be giving grants to so many novels from writers I love.

Yeah, what I mean is that's what it's taking to get people to consider Meta.

It also tells you how hard it is to get anyone competent to work at meta. Nobody wants to work there.

Alistair Reynolds has a series called Revelation space where there is no FTL, and spaceship battles are years long affairs.

I'm a sucker for anything bird but your duck videos are always a treat.

Cars have also gotten much more powerful and the power feels much safer from the driver's position. Suspensions and noise reduction and just better engineering than before. Doesn't change physics though.

This is why those "Texas city added so much housing while California city added so little" posts always rub me wrong. I get that CA needs to build more housing, but don't even pretend it's the same comparison.

If they arrest him we are even obligated to go out there and shut the cities down. You gotta take the martyrs you get I guess.

You know when you keep saying you are done with something and you keep coming back to it? There's a word for that.

I can only think of one case in SF, quite a while back.

That's a petty mean thing to say about Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Elijah Craig.

I understand Trump likes to say it like "impeached like a dog." (He probably says bitch, but that's Trump for you.)

It's a hard city to explore as a non-local beyond the standard tourist things. I really think that's part of it.
