Rojava/DNAS has some good ideas.

I think there will be a sudden abundance when food waste is distributed instead of landfilled, housing is rent free and not locked away as an investment.

Most of the systems that make society function are already not profit motivated so most will continue to function in transition. We see this happen every natural disaster, the workers of a critical facility sticking through because their work is meaningful.

Won't be totally comfortable but i disagree with the opinion it will be a death sentence for many.

If it's windows it's telemetry or MS Office, try watching network usage and blocking MS processes, they don't need the constant connection anyway and your PC will run faster. If it's Linux you might want to check on that and fix it (real shit).

Wolf populations were functionally controlling deer population as late as 200years ago. They were hunted for pelts and to prevent culling of stock/farm animals. Of course this varies geographically but is absolutely the case in north America.

I agree that it can be annoying to talk to a particularly militant began but the same is true for any ethos/identity.

devastated by"? Please do give an example

A good example of human intervention devastating a population when discussing the devastation of the wolf population would be humans devastating the wolf population. 🤷

The wolves aren't a tool for managing deer populations. Sure they would help, but if deer population and vegetation is the concern then they're part of the overall management strategy. Wolves prey on many animals.

our ancestors went and replaced wolves ... bringing them back ... not good for the wolves

Umm yeah I'm going to stand firmly on the platform that wild populations that were devastated by human intervention benefit from the alleviation of that devastation.

I realized it was causing a lot of anxiety for me. Easy quit after that because the reward was less anxiety after a few days.

This would suggest the leadership positions aren't required for the function of the business.

People have been working and dying to fight this on the left in the US since well before either of us were born. Attempting to blame the left instead of liberals or the fascists for the actions of the liberals and the right is antagonizing at best and maliciously doing the fascist's job for them at worst.

I assume you're coming from a place of wanting a better world, but expecting people to kill outright is disregarding their position and the safety in their communities. People have lives and friends and families. When they lose what's left for them to protect then you'll probably start getting what you want.

Im describing heat flux in space, which the vast majority of is far from any heat source. Get out of here with your heliocentrism, eeewwww!

 

Can you guess what new hobby I've taken up?

Second real attempt at a digital work. I'm continually surprised by my progress with drawing 🤠 I don't think I can go back to pencil and paper unless I'm on vacation or something...

I plan to fully render this one with color so this might be the project for all of December 😅

 

Finished the drawing I posted a few days ago. I'm really happy with how it came out! Took 7-9hrs but felt like maybe 1 😅.

Here's construction:

And because i think it's super funny 🤣

 

I've been struggling with faces for quite a while but I think I'm getting there!

Finally got a graphics tablet after drawing for a year with pencil and it's a world of difference! Undo and layers is like enabling god-mode. It's also nice that the pen doesn't follow previous strokes like on paper.

Braids have been a challenge, especially with perspective. Probably another piece or two before get them really figured out 😅

I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.

I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).

I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.

Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?

Is there a smarter solution?
