There is moral, there is legal, and there is ethical.

This may have been moral, as well as legal, but it sure as shit wasn't ethical.

The organisation that started it is called Eurovision.

Tithing is expected. There is peer pressure involved, so it can hardly be called voluntary.

So, Trumped up.

Maybe? I don't know the specific rules, so I just went the quotes text.

But yeah, that would be crazy.

Reads to me as saying that it must contain meat, not that it must only contain meat.

So any sausage with meat as one of its ingredients would count, but anything that doesn't contain any meat would not.

Which, to me, is ridiculous, because most vegetarian options have a variation on the word "replacement" on the packaging.

This is just the meat industry throwing it's weight around.

It's only a door if it has a handle, and there is none.

The thing that looks like a bolt on that rectangle.

Sure, it's not well designed, but you can just see the rings of the curtain, even though the curtain itself doesn't hang that far.

None of it is well thought out, but an effort was made nonetheless.

It's a curtain rod.

It's AI though, which to some people is probably fine, but I can't unhear the uncanny valley.

Assuming he doesn't try to get a third term, people will still die well into his successor's term.

And I am certain that the republican party will point that out ad nauseum.*

*Depending on the type of person who died. Poor and non-white people excluded.

 

As the title says, I'm looking for a video where the creator gradually decreases the effort they put into the video.

More specifically, they argue that you don't really need great graphics, which are then dropped. Then, that a great camera isn't necessary, the mic, then video itself, then sound, until it's just text on a screen.

I may be misremembering the order, but the point of the video was that while these elements aren't essential, they do make the video better, again, if I remember correctly.

I hope someone remembers this video.

 

I love Kim Stanley Robinson’s books, and am reading (in some case re-reading) his books in order. At some point, I’m going to get to Green Earth, but since it’s a reworking of the Science in the Capitol trilogy, I wanted to find out just how much it adds/leaves out/changes.

Is the difference significant enough to merit a “re-read”? I'm particularly interested in characterization, but I'm also curious if the science itself has been significantly changed, with resulting plot changes.

Thanks!
