Not worried. Those guys have an even worse K/D ratio than Stormtroopers.

Stupid, sexy pizza sauce man.

FWIW, the major makerspace in my area--or what was the major makerspace--was a lot like that. A couple of people didn't like that and started a new one, with myself and my wife coming on board almost right away. It took a long time and I'm not sure our story can be easily replicated, but we're now the bigger of the two in terms of space and membership size.

But like I said, Covid was a brick wall for our social aspects.

It's also important to note that if Poker were just about probability, we would have had computers beating everyone a long time ago. It's a much more complicated problem than that.

Same way Leela does, but with one less eye.

The whole Stuxnet story is fascinating. A virus designed to spread to the whole Internet, and then activate inside a specific Iranian facility. Convinced me that we already live in a cyberpunk world.

The conclusion ought to be that billionaires shouldn't exist. Even if they donate most of their wealth, they will still donate in ways that aren't necessarily solving real problems.

Fats tend to absorb aromatic molecules. That's why we want them in food, because those aromatics are what bring out flavor. However, they can also absorb aromatics that aren't good. This can be an issue with butter stored in the fridge too long. It's not necessarily dangerous to eat, but you won't like it.

I'm guessing GP is especially sensitive to the smell/taste that comes off from what the butter has been around.

You're probably thinking of the Fischer-Tropsch process for making gasoline.

Yeah, that's not what I'm getting at in the least. You have socialism when the workers receive the full benefits of their labor. You have communism when society is organized around providing what you can, and taking what you need. On a mass scale, I don't see this happening anywhere in the world, but it does exist in smaller groups.

Being "state owned" isn't seizing the means of production. Workers largely remain alienated from the fruits of their labor.

That's more to do with consent issues on set. At least, it is for studios that run things correctly.

You can find videos out there with fake alcohol, though.
