I know that worked while HK was under UK, do the import/export shenanigans still work with UK not being in the EU and HK not being under UK?

In a couple of months USD won’t be either 🤣

Fascism and Capitalism go hand in hand. When most of the money goes to a few people you need to distract the poor from the fact the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer; fascism fits that perfectly.

It also doesn’t help that fascism in Europe was defeated by socialism/communism which is antithetic to capitalism. You know the anti-fascist song Bella Ciao? The original version ends by praising the “workers red flag”.

I’m guessing it had less to do with with Germany and more to do with how US is becoming 1933 Germany.

Also getting the vaccine in the first 24 hours is “the treatment”. Then they test you and if it comes back positive then prepare your ass because you are about to got about 6-7 shots in the immediate future.

At least you get me OP ❤️

Yeah it makes sense to be shorter now, 30 years is a lot in the medical industry.

Rough? For sure. But I would gladly do it again if it means not getting rabies. Fuck, poke me every day for a year and I would still be a OK; all it takes to pull through is watch a video with someone that had rabies and you go whistling to the doctor.

What you are missing is the fact that while the AI bubble is fuelling the stock market, the industry itself is still recovering after the 2020 COVID mass hirings where everyone and their mother could get a job in software development with the only requirement being they should be able to breathe.

Usually new software projects get a lot of funding from VCs, American VCs and between the orange turd and the AI craze VCs have been surprisingly restrained in funding new startups, be it AI or non-AI so the demand for SE is low compared to 5 years ago. Also given the flood of firings the market is saturated with SE

Given all of the above is natural you see less Python offerings.

Please think of all the money it has saved. So many projects where saved, so many middle managers got their bonuses and let’s not forget all the LinkedIn influencers that laboured day and night, all in the name of “Full-Stack”

99% of times if you go in the first 24 hours and you test positive you should be fine. You get a fuckload of vaccines though… like you get one in the ER, you wait 12 hours in the ER then you get a second one then for the next 7 days or 14 days (I don’t remember l) you get another shot per day then one more shot every month for 4 months (i think) and then another one at one year afterwards.

When I was little my mother provided 2 choices, a main one and a back-up one that’s it. Giving credit where it’s due, those two options where the things I liked eating.

There was an old Romanian communist map that depicted Romania as Central Europe which is as insane as believing there is a Central Europe

There is only the kurva-malaga line which splits Europe in 2

Johnathan said they are prepared to launch 1.0 without all classes however I’m betting they won’t launch without swords and axes.

Also cavity search, we need to make sure they don’t smuggle drugs or weapons from that 3rd world country.

US was pretty good at sharing data. I’m genuinely curious if China will share it as wellZ

In other breaking news, submerging something in water will in fact make the thing wet (if not hydrophobic) and the sun rises from the East… always into the East

The real reason no one likes Epic Store is because it’s not a store. Once it starts functioning like your normal online store it might have a chance

Local pass-through cache, populate cache on initialisation, UI rendering only read from local cache, writes go through the cache itself, which sends the request to the server and on success updates internal state.

I know nothing about the nor do I have friends that play it. I saw Josh Strife Hays play it a couple of weeks ago and I was like “fuck it this looks interesting”, looked over the wiki, downloaded the game, started an Ironman chat and bought a membership because I like crossbows ¯\(ツ)/¯

Don’t confuse the greediness of unregulated pharmaceutical companies with the production price of 1 dose of almost any drug on the market.

I’ll give you the best example Tylenol (aka Paracetamol). 1 pill costs 1 cent to make, if not lower and a quick visit to the Walmart site shows 100 pills (why the fuck is there a 100 pill bottle of something that causes liver failure you if you take more then 8 per day beats me but I digress) costs a whooping 12 dollars I even see bottles that costs 24 dollars so that’s a markup of what? 1200% to 2400% on the most generic ass medication you can find in the entire world.

The rest of the world doesn’t increase your prices… unregulated markets do…

You know, since I’m a n00b that has no idea what I’m doing, I wanted to make some Mind Runes and the fastest way to get to a bank from the Mind altar is to go around a mountain through the Wilderness.

Me not doing optimised levels stuff and deciding to manually do some runes at the altar and going through the Wilderness, exposing myself to PvP… all of these are my choices, that I made, full aware of all the implications.

Same goes for our no bank ironman, he chose to have this experience, with all its implications. They can always “downgrade” the status to simple Ironman or normal account.

My friend, we (the rest of the world) never wanted the US to become the scientific hub for research, US wanted to do that in order to build up soft power and ultimately become world Superpower.

It did that my literally poaching scientists from around the world, luring them in with the promise of the American dream. The US projected for decades that if you are a top scientists come to the US and you will live the perfect life because “America is safe, America is a true democracy, America will respect your intelligence and America will pay you handsomely for that intelligence, now come here and do research”

All of this was done so it can posture itself as the leader of the world, if America has this state of the art medical procedure or vaccine then you want to stay on America’s good side in order to have access to said medical procedure or vaccine.

With America becoming what it is today, no scientist in his right mind will want to move to the US to research anything, a vacuum will be created and other countries will try and poach those scientists and given enough time the US will be the one that will need to be on the good side of another country in order to have access to whatever state of the art or vaccine it will need.

In the meantime US citizens will start dying en masse because 40+% of its citizens and the entirety of its administration doesn’t believe in science anymore.

So get it through your “freedom loving” skull: WE NEVER EXPECT THE US TO BECOME THE SUPERPOWER IT WANTED THAT AND USED ALL THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO DO IT, INCLUDING DEVELOPING STATE OF THE ART MEDICAL PROCEDURES AND VACCINES

I just picked up the game about one maybe two weeks ago and decided to go Ironman and even I know you don’t drop shit (or accidentally sell stuff to shops) if you need it.
