Although they may be considered primitive by today’s technological standards, they were very, very smart and accomplished tremendous things with very little resource.

They were not primitive intellectually. They were smart, capable and intelligent people.

This is exactly the point many people don’t understand: People in the past were not less intelligent than today’s people.

We developed more ways to discover stuff and more precise tools to measure and detect things and of course with computers we got the ability to handle extremely complex data. All of this gives us an edge over past people science wise but we had very capable thinkers 200, 600 and 4000 years ago. All basic principles of mathematics have been developed a long time ago.

Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you’re a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.

Yes! I totally appreciate the shot. The composition is awesome. But these lines make me dizzy. 😄

Funny, I am getting uncomfortable looking at the picture. It looks so unnatural. 😬

Any QoL mods you’d recommend?

I play F4 with Vivid Fallout for better textures, Load Accelerator and the Unofficial patch mod.

What are must have QoL mods that that don’t alter the vanilla experience too much?

You’re welcome. I hope I didn’t come across as too pissed off.

“Germany fucked up by shutting down their (last) nuclear power plants” is not only an argument by people outside of Germany but unfortunately is used by german conservatives and the far right as well as libertarians who don’t want to take any steps to fight climate change but try to preserve “the old ways”.

Nuclear in Germany has been more or less dead for a long time. The last (commercial, there are newer reactors used for science) reactor has started building in 1982 and started producing in 1989. People who call for more nuclear power in Germany are at least 35 years too late.

Please stop this nonsense argument about Germany fucking up by shutting down nuclear. Even 20 years ago, nuclear energy wasn’t that significant for our enery mix and shutting it down over the last 20 years didn’t fuck up anything. The last few power plants had a capacity of about 4 to 8 GW and are not missed here.

For the last 20 years, coal consumption declined (could be faster though) and renewable had a steep growth (could be faster of course).

It is true that we started consuming more natural gas, but in the end the change is not about using old nuclear power plants that are unsafe or building new nuclear plants that will be usable in 10 to 20 years but about pushing renewable and improving the grid to solve the distribution problem.

Yes, I agree. I was referring to @honytawk@lemmy.zip’s statement that the middle aged people were about to retire in a couple of years.

But that’s far from retirement…?

What age do you consider middle aged?

Interesting. Do you know how Cosmos handles storage and especially RAID?

Black Swan is about a ballet dancer who, driven by the demand to perfectly play the lead role in Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, descends into madness.

It’s with Natalie Portman and a truly amazing movie. I absolutely recommend watching it, even when you’re not into ballet.

Edit: To be honest just watch Joker too. It tells the story of Joker becoming the Joker and Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job playing the role. It’s completely different from any DC / Batman movies and probably not what you’d expect from a movie that plays in this universe.

Both movies are great psychothrillers.

CasaOS is great for very simple (basic!) container management and easy creation of basic shares but it doesn’t offer any tools for RAID management and is only single user oriented so it doesn’t have any access control built in to it’s Samba shares. These features might come in the future though.

I don’t know Yunohost but I’d recommend you Openmediavault. It’s Debian based, offers tools for managing RAID, Docker, Shares, Users, , Access control Lists, Updates and much more.

It’s actually amazing and in active development.

The days are long, the years fly by.

This is so true. I have a four year old and a one year old. Third one on it’s way. And although every day is a struggle and I am more than happy when the kids are finally in bed, especially the last year flew by.

No but with a shoehorn you can slip in and out of your shoes without tying the laces?

But that’s why shoehorns exist?

Considering her name being Henny Gesserit she just might be Wolfgang Atreides’ older sister…

What’s with Lee Yeong-ae in her role as Lee Geum-ja in Park Chan-Wooks Lady Vengeance?

Apparently don’t pee on it. Today I learned.
