Ironically, nowadays, it’s easier to get the LP. I buy them directly at the concert, and they come with a bandcamp voucher so you can also download the album.
For more popular band, you now get very nice albums fulls of goodies, which also feature a CD
Good old Bank transfer, and what about cash?
I like ai as a hobby but im not sure if i should try getting money from my hobby?
Making money from a hobby is a great way to tun a hobby you enjoy in a job you hate.
Les alone that unless you go big, yet won’t pay the extra hassle of filling tuy as self employed. No matter whether we talk about doing video on social media on teaching kids to play basketball this is the reason while it’s mostly a volunteer based hobby and not a job
AI bot love story aren’t different from crush on other fictional characters/celebrities . If you’re aware of it, tons of people enjoy romantic comedy or even dark romance and it’s fine. If you’re not aware of it and are above 12, it’s a serious issue, and your friend need to talk with a mental health professional
Politeness would be eat it, thanks your host, tell it was good
If you’re alone at home, compost bin may be an option (same as *too much food)
mbin (For example fedia.io) federates with both Lemmy and Mastodon, and as a nice UI. I have a backup account on-it, worth a try
There is no complex algorithm, but community you follow, upvotes and time
“Here’s the thing. No reasonable person has an issue with women having their own women’s activity groups. The annoying part is that whenever men try to do something similar, that’s a problem. Women either want them banished or demand entry, EVERY time.”
My rpg club took the incdusivity road in the 2010, and is now a very inclusive/diverse place. We do have the blue haired enbies that riqht winger hate, and some old players who after acouple of beer starts complaining about RPG becoming woke (An inclusive place means they’re welcome too)
We do have a couple of women only group and a point someone launched a men only table. While we had one of the old player complaining about the women only game, no blue haired enby complained about the men only game. So I have the impression that this whole women only space are OK, men only space aren’t is some bullshit.
Note that, this worked becaused the gender specific game include people identifying as this gender, are the exception, and have a justification. It’s not I don’t like wo•man so I want only a gender but * I want a game exploring masculinity/feminity and therefore will limit the cast gender*
300 light year is the planet direct neighbourhood, not intergalactic.
The level of “endogamy” within the rich and powerful is definitely slowing things up. We have strong evidence that these people are all at least acquaintance if not friends. It may not be great for your career to investigate/prosecute top level politicians and billionaires. Actually the positive of the documents release is that people see it.
Then a big factor is that being invited to a party where children have been rape doesn’t prove you partake to the rapes or even have been aware of it.
Finally, money means that you can afford a lawyer slowing things down by writing various requests to the court. Your lawyer will tell you to save your money and do the necessarà/efficient one. But for people with virtually infinite money, a team of lawyer can slow down the things
Nobody said supra conductors ?
While being used in some niche field (mostly MRI) the ultra-low temperature needed means there is only very few case where the price of cryo-cooler offset the elecricity costs
I’ve seen a road map at the start of iter which was actually more. 30 years to get a stable exo energetic plasma, then 30 years to build a demonstrator able to produce electricity, and then 30 years to have industrialised fusion plant.
The thing is how is a flying car different from a aircraft?
We have (ultra) light aircraft not much more expensive than a good car, we have helicopter with vtol abilities. Licencing isn’t that more complex than for a car.
The problem are the maintenance cost as a failure would be dramatic, and the noise meaning people don’t want them over their bacxyard/balcony
The very slow is the issue. Assuming we can reach 10-20% of c, we can reach a couple of nearby stars in 200 years (Wikipedia gives me 50 stars with 30 ly).
200 years is roughly the time from the Napoleonic era from today (Taking an Euro reference). Do you remember what your ancestor were doing during Napoleon Russian campaign or when US purchased Louisiana?
Society changed massively since Napoleon. Over 200 years the society culture of a generation ship would also drastically diverge from ours. Moreover, I can’t think of many piece of technology which can keep working for 200 years without a few massive overall.
I know enough physics to say no Even inter-Stellar is out of our reach (without generation ship).
We have zero reason to believe in an effective way to build wormhole, jump gates or anything similar. Even high energy cosmic rays have a limited range (due to collision with photons) which is a strong clue that there is no shortcut in space
The Irony is that squid game can absolutely be used by propaganda to show how bad the south is. Just do some edit to present-it as a documentary rather than a fiction.
You forget the part about a US government bailout. When your company earns money, you’re a business genius and you get to cash out. When it looses money the taxpayer will help you
While I can see many things with price tags well above 100 Million US$. Like planes, hospital, semi conductor lythography machine. A single person owning them is a problem per se.
Moreover, almost every serious project of super rich net worth tax isn’t capping your wealth, but just making sure you pay 1-2% of your net worth as takes which is still way less than everyone else, and won’t prevent you to get richer investment capital growth.
Pain and the evidence of it is a right of passage into adulthood, it shows strength, discipline, perseverance.
Ironically, these are seen as masculine trait, making actually weird that it is (used to be ?) a woman’s thing in modern western culture. Looks like one of the many gender norm anomaly
A distribution is gaussian until proven otherwise. Is a great shortcut into statistic. It’s also why something as simple as the Chi^2 test works very often. No need to tune a complex likelyhood function or set a neural network, you can use a simple method which in many case is good enough
