Our government spends more on healthcare than anyone else as well.

The US spends more on Healthcare than Europe, or anyone else. We just get worse care for it.

It’s most likely in the same style as EVE, timed skills learned based on real time. Add in crafting and similar type stuff and your character ‘stays online’ while you’re sitting at work checking an app to see if it’s time to log in and change skills.

When I looked into them last it turned out it was just cheaper to build another PC. Aside from the list of problems you’ve already seen, they’re expensive to the point of just not being worth it in almost all cases.

There’s a TON of second hand baby stuff. Most of it in great shape because the kid grows out of it long before it wears out. Consumable stuff is mostly at the super market, or occasionally big box stores.

What’s missing is community support most of the time. You don’t have a lot of friends with kids, or don’t hang out with the ones that do.

Pretty sure Japan has decided on population decline at this point. It will be interesting to see if that changes as the population drops.

Dubbed and subbed, I do other things while watching, and when I do pay attention I like seeing the difference in translation.

By Russian regions, they mean Earth.

Both sides bullshit propaganda.

There’s a push from corporate dems and AIPAC to shit on the left right now. From articles to paid influencers, expect a lot of bullshit noise, that will probably get louder as the election season goes on.

That ship sailed. It’s unlikely the US will be leading in science for the rest of the century. China has already surpassed the US in new research right now, and will most likely keep that lead for at least the next decade or two. The US is likely to lose it’s second place status over the next decade, and will probably fall to fourth over a longer time scale.

From the actual bill:

HOWEVER, THAT IF THE WORKING GROUP DETERMINES THAT IT IS NOT TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE TO REQUIRE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTERS SOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO INCLUDE BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY, THE WORKING GROUP SHALL SO REPORT, AND NO REGULATIONS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE WORKING GROUP DETER- MINES THAT IT IS TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE.

Considering the number of open source 3d printers, and mills, plus conversion packages for manual mills, It’s ludicrous to assume it’s feasible. And NY has nowhere near the manufacturing monopoly to force the rest of the country, let alone the world, to comply with a demand that all of them have blocking systems.

Even given the safety check of a working group, this same bill also makes a stick illegal. So it’s more than likely to fail on a few challenges, assuming it even makes it to final vote in this form.

The global economy is severely weakened, but stable. There is also a long list of developments that could crater everything, both literally and figuratively, and very little to look forward to for the vast majority of the population.

Best case scenario is the ending of multiple hostilities, allowing the resumption of trade, and a slow grinding recovery.

Worst case scenario is an extinction event, either caused by escalation in Ukraine, or to a lesser extent Iran, leading to nuclear conflict.

Both extreme’s are unlikely, and the entire range between them is just various levels of who is going to get fucked.

Print using a scarf joint so the seams have an overlap. Also that would get them up off the build plate where your warping problem is.

Depends on the actual spot, there a holes in the bottom of some of those canals, there could have been a head injury when she fell. Until someone is actually standing where she fell in, you don’t actually know the depth.

Would that include Stargate SG-1? It was all filmed in Canada.

The human/gorilla common ancestor walked upright on two feet. Humans kept it, gorillas evolved towards foot/knuckle walking.

Nay they’d be covered with a flap, can’t have people taking pictures to fool security with, but you need to easily expose it for check points.

We occasionally get lucid leadership. As a whole group though, our leadership class has always had some glaring idiocy going on.

Was there a time when they weren’t?
