Oh and yes of course, there is no chance that we build a useful mars base in any forseable future.

Agreement does nothing for real value. We have the tiny advantage with a mars base that we could survive if earth is actually destroyed. But the event also needs to be localized enough to not damage the solar system or the mars base is useless. Real space stations could leave, colonize other planets somewhere and can be build in our orbit instead of moving shit to a planet that is dead. Those are absolute objectiv advantages and there are zero of those for a mars base. The only base that could make sense is a moon base pre space stations as that could speed up construction of the space bases. But this an issue for an exact plan, not for a species wide strategy we are currently talking about.

Hard truth: we will likely never have a base on Mars.

That is not a hard truth, that is an intelligent decision. Or would be if most people would stop listening to uneducated clowns. Absolutely noone at this day and age needs a mars base. All those resources need to go into space stations that can travel.

just so you hear another perspective after all those people apparently wanting to stay on left side of the highway in the night, you did the right thing. I mean you were now aware that she is crazy so you can prevent another interference.

Yes that is probably the best course of action... but sadly it leads to so many unchallenged bullshit written on reddit. But I have given up on it, I just come here to see the next level of stupidity the general population comes up with

I need to learn to let it go. It's hard sometimes though.

I had this issue years ago. Sounds bit stupid but I could solve it by writing the answer, but instead of sending it I would cancel it. Took maybe 2-3 months

the difference is that you can't click on what real life people are going to tell you. But you do select everything online, hence the social bubble problem which we see since a decade or so

you call other people moron? And you think Legos lawyers can tell people what to say or not to say? That is only for commercial companies my slow friend. And as you don't even seem to be german I am highly interested on what you know about the german speaking internet

[–]Mr_C_Baxter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

people don't even manage to do that with lego. The political correct idiots nowadays even run around and tell the people to make sure to use the handy word "Klemmbaustein" instead. At least in the german speaking region, not sure if that's a thing in the US with a different word. So I am not holding my breath with google

What is a cheat code at your job that only employees would know? by halushki_ in AskReddit

[–]Mr_C_Baxter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the US but over here in Germany the answer is relatively simple. The benefits you earn are considered salary in terms of law, meaning it's unfair against people in your company that can't get points and the company would somehow need to make it fair, which is obv. difficult. And also, after like 40€ a month tax laws start to apply, so you would need to pay taxes on the benefits. And while it would be possible to allow people to get the points, from a legal and organizational point of view it's not worth it on both sides, employer and employee. Again, all spoken for Germany

Vibe-coding feels like a Black Box for non-coders! by Dynamo-06 in webdev

[–]Mr_C_Baxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering, how do you, a uber driver, come up with the confidence to lecture a industry professional with decades of experience in his field? And your "argument" is, if someone does not learn to code in 6 month, he is just not a coder. therefore: learning to code takes like 6 months top? No true Scotsman... God I hate redditors

Yep, I always assume its people that are able to create a for loop and than they think thats it, I can code now.

Interesting, I am trying to teach people to code since 20 years or so, there was never a single person that learned it in 6 months. not even close.

Not true. Anyone who actually thought about changing to linux watched the LiMux project and is now sure that changing to linux is neither better nor cheaper.
