First article it gave me was for “Human extinction” lol
Some of my first memories are of my father playing AoE, I don’t even remember when or how I learnt to play the game, at some point I just did and still do.
As a society, we learned how to take care of the less able people (with every asterisk in the world, but at least the idea is there). However, for some reason, that only applied to people that are very non-functional. If you are functional, but not always, you can still take care of yourself, so suck it up and get your life together.
Fuck that, we should learn that everyone deserves to be helped, not only those who need a lot of help, sometimes a little goes a long way.
Sputnik 1 was the first artifical satellite put into orbit. Based on how you define “first rocket in space”, it might have been Nazi Germany with their V2 rockets

but LMDE especially will be subject to dealing with older software
Are you sure about this? As far as I know, debian modernized their repos quite a bit even compared to ubuntu, that also sparked some controversy from debian long time fans especially because they wanted more dated, stable software. Never used LMDE though, so I’m not sure if it applies
The Alps are pretty freacking impressive. You see these enormous pointy rocks in the background and your brain knows how massive these mountains are. They are incredible.
Quite significant in theory, DDR3 maxes out at about 2000 MT/s (mega transfer per seconds) while DDR5 can go above 8000 MT/s, so about 3x-4x. I don’t know if this metric already includes the capability of DDR ram to access multiple data in a clock cycle, but I think it does. If it doesn’t, the difference is even higher.
Of course in practice the difference is not as remarkable, but still noticeable. Still, DDR3 is perfectly usable with a decent processor (light gaming and professional software), my main rig is a 4th generation i7 and I have no intention of upgrading for the foreseeable future.
Extra: still use ddr3 and watch the world burn, but slower
That is one case, which is the reason why it’s usually culturally/genetically frowned upon. The other reason I guess is to prevent abuse in a parent/child relationship, where it’s different because there’s a power difference
I think the best is Italy’s, Venezuela’s and Uriguay’s “Illegal only if it provokes public scandal”
Since Mastercard and Visa are american, money eventually travel through the US
Yes, it’s normal, or at least it’s not super unusual. People can be the meanest to your face and then pretend that nothing happened. Is it because they are ashamed of themselves? Because they want to pretend that nothing happened and hope you won’t bring it up? Because they want to maintain happearances in front of others? Are they trying to gaslight you? I don’t know, but it did happen to me and to other people I know.
Can’t save them all
You don’t have to cut ties with american people just because their president is an ass to the world
Bring back latin as the lingua franca
Usually Trigger Warning, to warn someone more sensitive to triggers to be careful. Don’t really know which trigger would be in this email?
I enjoyed it a lot and honestly, while I could see the massive influence it had on other things, and even being impressed by the distopian technology that would seem really scifi at the time, but is normal today, I think there are some aspects that have been explored further, but not at the same detail.
For example, doublethink and newspeak as a concept exists in other media, but I’ve never seen it explored to such details than in the book.
Not only that, usually lettinf people out fully and then going is is faster than getting all crammed and sruck trying to enter.
