People may dislike it for the specifics of the story but at least the premise is very interesting. I lost interest 75% through the first book but would love to read a synopsis of the story.

I find it really funny that his name is Lee Camp and his liberal detractors accuse him of adhering to Campism which is unrelated to his last name.

This is amazing!

The article says that they have a simulation software in which they simulated American warships advancing despite repeated warnings.

I hope they are underselling their capabilities here. If they can reliably guarantee against US intervention in the region it would be huge.

Everything must make a profit unless you are an airline corporation. Then it’s an endless cycle for going bust and getting bailed out with public wealth.

There are specialised book scanners that have a V shaped platform that you can put the book on then an overhanging camera can scan the page. This prevents the binding from being harmed. However they are very expensive and most likely you wouldn’t want to buy them for just one book.

My university library had these scanners. Maybe you can find an arrangement like this.

On the other hand, if you want to use a flatbed scanner, you can unbind the book, scan the pages individually then get it bound again.

Good job comrade

It’s better to post this in !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml.

I’m rooting for you comrade

I played the new Zelda game for a bit then dropped it to do a second playthrough of Elden Ring. Enjoying it so far.

How is it more efficient?

Mastodon allows you to block an instance too. Maybe Pixelfed allows it too?

I’ve always seen per-house solar panels to supplement the energy requirement which is mostly met through conventional means. Do you have an example of “decentralised solar and wind” energy meet the needs completely?

I haven’t read any science books except two.

“Not in Our Genes” by Lewontin et al was very good. It is a bit old but wise beyond its years on the topic of how the mainstream foray into genetics was often a cudgel to reinforce classist, racist, etc. biological determinist ideas.

Then there was a book related to covid that was published by Monthly Review. It helped open my eyes about how factory farming of animals creates conditions that are conducive to the evolution of deadly pathogens. But it was just a collection of related essays that had a common theme but were not converging towards a specific point so I didn’t find it memorable. The writing was pretty dramatic (not in a good way). As such I can’t recall the book’s title.

Pop science books are usually oversimplified to the point of being useless. Sapiens is warm trash juice for example.

Edit: I have also read The Selfish Gene by Dick Dawkins. Its hypothesis is that the gene is the basic unit of natural selection is IMO very interesting. I wonder if it has influenced natural sciences in some way but I don’t know how to check that. The book is also historic for coining the term “meme”.

That jump is “poisoning” deaths is nuts.

Because capitalism and plastic is cheaper. Corporations like Coca Cola (single largest plastic polluter) perpetuate recycling because it lets them off the hook for creating a tremendous amount of plastic waste to package diabetes and tooth decay in a bottle.

Not what you are thinking about but I really like statically generated pages like teddit, libreddit, nitter etc. do.

It feels odd hearing messages like this. The assumption seems to be that we can have a world exactly as we do today except that energy needs are met by renewables rather than fossil fuels which seems unlikely.

Sorry but I don’t know anything about it. First time hearing that name.

Notion is just more popular but both are viable options.

Try and focus on your studies once you are there :)

Thank you comrade

This is new

No it’s not because of white supremacy but because they are part of the European broadcasting conglomerate that only white majority countries are a part of.

That sub seems very dead

Komrade Putin is taking the heat away from China. Just check it out: https://reddit.invak.id/r/worldnews/

At the time of writing it is chock full of Russophobia. The streak is only broken by an article about climate deniers insulting meteorologists. After that it is anti Russia stuff again.

If you look at some microcosms inside a capitalist arrangement the analogy still holds. I read one about advertisements how they have metastasised like tumours and are encroaching every inch of room in every concievable medium day by day.

I booted up /r/worldnews today because I was bored and couldn’t sleep.

Big mistake.

I am not exaggerating. About 7 to 10 of the top posts were anti-Russia stuff. I was for some reason thinking that they would have put this war on the back burner but I was wrong.

The “it checks out” part probably throws the readers off the loop

I know just one guy who did (mark zuckerberg)

I’m taking about instant noodles. There are Korean ones I found recently that are extremely spicy. They are called nongshim or something like that. Soya chunks I just buy from the store and chuck them in the water as it is boiling.

Super spicy Korean noodles with soya chunks for protein

What do you mean?
