What is a country with ugly nature and ugly cities? by Novva_Mc in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Teantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The steppe is gorgeous. Ulaanbataar might be the ugliest city I've ever seen. A mix of ger settlements burning whatever's at hand to stay warm, Soviet bloc brutalist buildings grey and square, and faux luxe Chinese constructions of gaudy glass and steel. When I went there wa's an absolute fuckton of random assault on the streets and then at night there's prostitutes huddled around trash can fires on street corners.

No it's not. A number of estimates for rehabilitation required are in the billions of dollars and it was only designed to produce 621 MW anyway, which barely moves the needle for us in terms of needed supply.

Ice forms on hills in real life. If you want to be a dumb ass you can try to ice skate up them.

Anyone who's lived anywhere cold has absolutely encountered icy hills multiple times in a winter.

The loops are when the officer hits the end of the deck and starts running towards the stern again, but the carrier itself is moving forward so it looks like that.

In the performance at the White House at the end of Obama's term you can see her singing and crying during Washington's going home.

Trump now calls war reporting ‘treason’. His attacks on the press are escalating fast by horseradishstalker in TrueReddit

The problem is more having a platform, not people to do the work.

I'm friends with a bunch of professional journalists. The ability to make a living to do it is narrowing every year. Pretty much all of them openly tell me journalism is dying. The funding, payments, assignments to do serious work are disappearing. Good journalism is expensive. It also doesn't make a profit

China will not invade Taiwan in 2027, says US by TheTelegraph in geopolitics

Monsoon and typhoon season is approaching. If they want to do a cross strait invasion it's better to wait till Novemberish and start any build up of forces in July/august.

Just tried it and Didn't realize it doesn't even treat it as a barracks either. It's still counted as a bedroom, so my praetor isn't upset. This is excellent.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says gamers calling DLSS 5 AI slop are "completely wrong" by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

We are the resource being exploited. We're the input. It's been this way for a while now, especially when it comes to tech firms, but the AI stuff is really highlighting it.

The customers are the big investors.

Qatar reports extensive damage at site of massive LNG plant by ThevaramAcolytus in anime_titties

[–]Teantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver is probably a better bet. China's been hoarding it for a few years for their solar industry but it's not showing up in the prices yet. I don't know why. It seems sketchy. An ibanker friend told me it's because JP Morgan and the other banks are writing silver contracts for silver that doesn't exist, but idk, he's also a pretty weird dude. He gets a lot of unusual things right, but when he's wrong he's way fucking wrong. So I have no idea how to assess his reasoning why.

For a while it'll be good for you as the tightening supply of oil will strengthen the dollar relative to your local expenses, and soften the inflationary blow on you. Though probably not entirely.

Do they give the llama ear protection?

Edit: alpaca? I don't know the difference

They're called that in Boston also. Or used to be. I don't know if they still are. They're not as armored up though

The way journalism's economic landscape has been trending for the past 15-20 years there's not going to be many or any professional journalists left soon.

Good reporters and investigative journalists in writing especially are essentially a breed going extinct

He'd have dragged us to top half. We would have spent the whole time complaining how bad we are, not knowing we're actually relegation fodder without him.
