I'm a bit sceptical of Russia falling in the short to medium term based on Money & Macro video https://youtu.be/YRuYb3H3mvA

His thesis boils down to economic collapse is generally caused by one or more of:

  1. Capital flight
  2. Blockade (lacking essential imports)
  3. Debt fueled bubble
  4. Popular discontent

Capital flight is already prevented by capital controls Elvira Nabiullina set.

Blockade is hard to do without China cooperating.

Debt fueled bubble is unlikely since household and government debt is relatively low compared to other western countries.

Which leaves popular discontent. Putin is still pretty popular in Russia despite everything which means he can still use his popularity as a resource to go further down the war economy path. Since Russia has only used 1 out of 4 main tools to stabilise a war economy.

We should be looking out for wage controls, price controls and shutting down of industries, all levers that can be pulled that really affect people's lives. Work for shit wages and buy limited selection of goods and the local cinema was shut down so people can work in an artillery shell factory.

In his opinion the Russian economy still can increase military spending by a large amount without collapse but not without taking it closer to collapse due to popular discontent.

If Ukraine can keep the oil production in Russia low I think it could really speed run the entire process. However, Putin is a tricky bitch so I wouldn't count him out. If he can get the oil production back up and running by mobilising workers and build for redundancy the war could still go on for years.

I wouldn't mind it, only 1% waste is pretty good for a social program.

This article is more about where is more convenient to make a first off world base than terraform. It's very hard to make a base on mars and the moon but a moon base is much easier.

Terraforming is a whole another beast though. You'll need to be able to create industry on Mars with local resources to begin terraforming, notably harvesting solar energy. Wind energy is going to be absolute ass to begin with since the air pressure on the moon in 1% of earth's so we'd need to do a stupid amount of climate change just to make it as livable as Mount Everest Basecamp. Probably we'd need to electrolyze all of the surface rust for oxygen and then we'd still need to deal with radiation issues because of it's still missing the molten core.

More realistically we'd need a Dyson sphere around Mars, a shaft that goes all the way to the core and blast it with the power of the sun for centuries to kickstart the core again. Not sure about the calculations on that one. Could off by many factors of 10. Once done it can be sealed and the insulation will keep it going for a longer than we'd have to worry about.

I personally think a floating city on Venus a lot nicer. At 50-60km elevation the air in breathable for humans so we'd just have to make massive blimps.

I was in the same boat until I started running. It's very nice to monitor heart rate so you can stick to a target heart rate.

I live in Iceland and we try to predict volcanic activity all the time and it's off by weeks or months. To be fair, that's a blink of an eye on a geological scale so it's pretty accurate but the nature of the problem is that you have so many forces that all interact with each other.

It's pretty similar to "how far can you tip the chair back before it falls" but we don't know the size, weight and shape of the chair really well. You just need one fracture in the rock from previous earthquake to throw all the calculations off.

I don't know the context of the post but I imagine it's media related, like a seismologist saying "could be as soon as tomorrow" and the journalist just saying "earthquake tomorrow". Also seismologist don't shut up is true.

I played Game Dev Tycoon (2013) from the same people and it was really good, I'm definitely going to try this one out

I consistently lose and always fail the vibe checks. I have given up on trying to win and now I sow chaos for fun when people insist on playing them.

It's a fun trick to enjoy the game even if winning is off the table.

 

I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep.

My current trickbook is basically this:

Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting.

I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work.

Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep.

I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

 
 

I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

 

So I of course screamed BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE like any reasonable human being. Then maimed some people with a knife, drank their blood etc.

She won't talk to me now and I don't understand why. Do you guys think the knife was to small?

Any help very much appreciated.

Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps?

Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear.

Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail.

General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between.

(I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)
