Because heat diffuse at a limited rate. More heat won’t magically make it faster.
Increasing the heat will continue cooking an already heat soaked layer, unable to radiate that heat to the inner layer fast enough.
At best you’ll get an overcooked exterior, at worst a carbonized one. In both case, the inner layer will be barely warm, and raw, of course.

There really is an xkcd for everything 😂

But, think about the capital…

You are right. But I didn’t mean that as “doing one thing well”, but rather “focussing on a long term objective”.

Depends on the juridictions. Some countries make pedaling mandatory (mine does), other don’t.

Wouldn’t say GOAT, but I sure try to do my work the best I can.

France has a lot of spy satellites. Part of why they didn’t follow the US in Irak.

I think there is multiple factors here.

First, Europe wasn’t a major weapon producer, and ramping up production takes time. You have to recruit people, teach them, and buy heavy machinery, which also take time to produce.

Secondly, Europe isn’t as unified as the US. It formed around the idea of preventing future wars, and on that aspect it worked spectacularly well. There was no war between EU countries since WW2. But cultural differences are still there, and its institutions require a consensus, not a majority. So it is hard to take immediate decision. Ironically, USA withdrawal is what made the consensus easier to reach, because major countries that were reticent became aware that they had to act now or fold to Putin.

Unfortunately one of the advantages of dictatures is that it move fast in one direction. The main problem being if the leader is intelligent enough to chose the right direction, which they rarely do.

On the other hand, democracies moves slowly, but the damages done by bad leaders are often counterbalanced by the good made by better leaders.

Hey there Road_Warrior_10, good luck with your new game.

Probably both. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he was a double-agent.

There are still reliable medias that are free from billionaires. But that suppose to pay for them, because without a billionaire with an agenda to keep them afloat, who will?

Personally, I support multiple of them (after looking into them, of course), even when not aligned with my own world views.

You know what, let’s start a community to list them all. I think this is the best way to work against the billionaire press monopoly.

Surprise: another narcissistic sociopath. Themself in power because if other narcissistic asshole. You can go quite far like that, but will always end up with masses that vote for parties as if they were the local baseball team.

The elites isn’t the main problem. It is that we put narcissistic sociopath in power because of our tendencies to follow the group and vote because of the party we usually vote for instead of looking at the program.

My Z2 had à drive failure recently, with 4To drives. Took me almost 3 days to re-silver the array 😅. fortunately had a hot spare setup, so it started as soon as it failed, but now a second drive is showing signs of failing soon, so I had to pay the AI tax (168€) to get one asap (arriving Monday), as well as a second one, cheaper (around 120€), but which won’t arrive until the end of April.

Casualty doesn’t mean death.

And wanted to do something Nice to himself.

More like the SA.
