Remember when the petroleum industry sold us disposable plastic bags as a way to “save the trees”?

Every paper comes with an author appendix as cut-out scrabble tiles (scrambled) so readers assemble the names in the order they prefer.

There are some limitations. I’ve asked some questions relating to my courses and it doesn’t always get it right.

According to Space.com in July 2023, there were 4,487 active Starlink satellites. 26 represents just over 0.5% of the total constellation. Considering it seems like a swarm-type system, 0.5% strikes me as simply the cost of doing business.

Edit: decimals.

To give some perspective, that’s a little less than two Nazi holocausts per year for 100 years.

Strong concur. Religion is fine, but there is no place for extremism.

Have you at least tried to install Gentoo? Everyone has to think they can, and fail, at least once in their lives.

Christian Nationalism is a form of extremism akin to Sharia Law which, ironically, Christian extremists would decry; though not because it’s unjust, but because it’s an ideology which differs from their own.

Yes, Christian Nationalism is a threat to democracy because it is extreme in the concepts it seeks to implement. Moreso, it purports to increase individual liberties by somehow implementing religious codes which restricts personal choices and liberties.

One of the undeniable founding principles of the US was freedom from religious influence. American predecessors left Britain to escape religious persecution and leave the control of the church. This cannot be argued to be false. Thus, attempting to rejoin “Christian values” (a buzzword proxy for Christian religious institutions) is an attempt to impose the church to matters of governance.

Take it easy. Kbin is only a few months old, and the developer works on this in their spare time.

There are lots of optimizations to make.
