There’s very little point in robbing a bank unless you desperately need office chairs and stationery.

Their people?

Retirement age was recently raised to 70 in Denmark, but I’m honestly not even that pissed off about it, because I think it might finally be the key for people to understand and act upon something that is much more important:

Retirement is not and has never been the carrot on a stick that excuses wasting most of your life on working.

There’s no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for those who choose to endure 50 years of wage slavery. The cake is a lie, and if you didn’t get it before, you’ll surely get it now that the promised retirement is getting pushed further and further away. Fuck retirement. You’ll likely never get to it, so you need to live now.

You need to make your life worthwhile through the entirety of it. If that life includes paid work, you need to make paid work worthwhile.

Sure, it’s a lot of work in itself to make the conditions for your paid work better, but we have to start demanding just that and it’s really easy to get started: Join a union.

The mentioned cars are somewhat outdated.

You might also want to consider newer models like Renault 5, Skoda Elroq or Hyundai Ioniq.

Masks or not, they’re going to get themselves killed.

At some point, someone will resist being abducted and take one of them out. A mask doesn’t stop a bullet.

It just hasn’t happened yet.

How many of them will be brave enough to show up for work the next day?

Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

That’s a pretty neat FPS for a tv.

Someone stated that the communication speed is currently about 160 bits per second, so 20 bytes per second.

Voyager is now 1 light day away, so the signal is 86400 seconds long, since radio waves travel at the speed of light. The signal can then fit a backup of 1.7 megabytes.

20 bytes x 86400 seconds = 1.7 Mb (SI units)

This is enough to fit the entire memory bank of 26 Commodore 64s in a one way trip from the Earth to Voyager. If Voyager then returns the signal, you can simply double this.

So about 2 floppy discs. 💾 💾

It would be interesting to follow them. Find out where they live or where they go in their off time. Then call the ICE on them.

It wonder when two of them will try to deport each other.

If you use 3 slices of ham in a regular sandwich, you will need 9 slices to create the scaled version of the pictured sandwich.

In comparison to an ordinary sandwich.

Ordinary sandwich: 2 bread 1 ham. Pictured trianglewich : 3 bread 3 ham.

I was in Rome last week and pleasantly surprised to see how many tiny cars they use.

There were plenty of Smart cars, but also many other ultra minis like Citroën AMI, XEV Yo-Yo and Renault Twizy.

They’re not just concept cars or used as gimmicks like elsewhere. People actually use them for their daily business.

The traffic in Rome is insane though. The reason they use tiny cars isn’t that the roads are small, but due to congestion and parking. It makes very little sense to own a car there at all.

Probably more than that.

There’s 50% more bread, but 200% more ham.

From the designers webpage:

The bridge horizontal curvature is based not only on structural reasons, but also on improving the user experience - by walking on a curved bridge, a person can better perceive the destination.

Yes, I got an unexpected amount of emotional replies. The whole thread is very interesting that way.

It seems like lots of people are extremely complacent.

That’s what refugees do. And they’re allowed to. Persecution as it is happening in America right now is an international crime. If you’re the victim of persecution you can get eefug status.

Of course that’s the reason. I never claimed otherwise.

So we do agree that people with no money are capable of walking 4000 kilometers. Yet, it is somehow impossible for people in America to walk 500 kilometers, because “America is just too big” and “being financially trapped”.

Sure, but what about them?

In most cases they’re just lines on a map that don’t actually exist physically in the real world.
