I don't know why you're so skeptical of Starship? They've clearly been making tons of progress on it. Hell, they even launched a failed test.

I can see why you might call Elon a bit of a hype machine, but really, he has delivered on quite a lot of his hype.

Electric cars? Yep

Electric trucks? Yeah

Self driving? Eh, no

Charging network? Yeah

Tons of battery manufacturing? Yeah

Orbital Rocket? Yeah

Reusable Orbital Rocket? Yeah

Reusable Heavy Orbital Rocket? Yeah

LEO satellite internet? Yeah.

Tunnels under every city? No.

Seems pretty unlikely at this point. They already have (arguably) the most reliable rocket in the world.

It seems like the "move fast and break things" ethos could still have a proper place in physical engineering. I look at SpaceX, for example. They move quickly and break things... until they have a reliable product they can safely put humans on. Falcon 9 is arguably the most reliable rocket in the world, because they were willing to move fast and break things.

What would that look like with a deep submersible? Maybe an autonomous version that gets extensive testing and use before you put people on it? I don't know.

Why are you talking about immigrants?

Minnesota features Minneapolis, a large city of 430k or so which is about 18% black. Norway has Oslo, a larger city but one without such a population.

Have your citizens grow fat, lazy and unwilling to risk their lives, especially in far away wars that they see no benefit from anyway

The fun part is they can probably recruit enough citizens to fill the military, but only if they weren't actively repelling the half of the country that is patriotic and nationalistic.

You are perhaps correct, I do not want to claim to have a real good understanding of the situation.

I don't feel like it's possible to obtain a good understanding of the situation from OSINT sources. Therefore my stance has been, and remains, that Russia started a war of expansion, but was egged on to it by western provocations and/or stupidity. No one looks good here.

I think the actual answer is to keep the role of government to its proper place. My right to my property must be much greater than the local council's right to interfere with my enjoyment of that property.

don't express affection in public, don't "shove it in my face", don't say gay acknowledge homosexuality

Correct. Homosexuality is fundamentally anti-social and anti-civilizational in a lot of ways. Merely being allowed to not be killed over it is a huge ask.

When you inevitable complain that homosexuality isn't anti-civilizational, consider that a civilization of homosexuals isn't possible. It will be gone within a human lifetime. Only a civilization that encourages self-reproduction is possible over timelines longer than a few decades.

They absolutely had a choice. They made the choice to be gay, and not just homosexual, and that was a political act of their own free will.

That would definitely make my entire town wetlands

NJ re-elects Bob Menendez to the Senate every six years, and he's constantly under investigation/indictment/trial for some scheme or another.

That’s not even 65f. I keep my house at least 68-70f in the winter. Of course, the climate here is less extreme than Sweden.

Your beer's gonna be hot and gross rather quickly.

There's a long tradition of low alcohol beers for people out in the heat of the day. Small beer.

You can drink one or two 4 or 5% beers an hour all day and basically be functional while constantly having a beer in hand. Try that with something at 8% or more.

Do you want a beer that you can drink all day or a few strong beers?

Late 30s, Northeastern USA.

My only real question with the Holocaust is why did it go from an over-arching term for Nazi genocide killing 11 million to a Jewish specific genocide term covering 6 million. All my childhood I remember hearing 11 million, 11 million.

Some of us are of certain descent such that we don’t tan. No matter how much time we spend unprotected in the sun.

I can say definitively that’s false at the tech company I work for at least.

Well that's a silly way to look at it: in the long term, almost every woman (and man's) worth is in their offspring, their children. Only few exceptional people will have another, greater, impact on the world than their children.

Commercially brewed beer has been a predominantly male occupation for about 500 years. Basically, since the time where it was something a modern person would drink and recognize as beer.

I slowly moved from an IC role to a Senior Manager role over the last 3-4 years.

I wouldn't say I enjoy it more, but I've managed to inspire some loyalty in my team by shielding them from BS and going to bat for them.

This gives me some satisfaction.

Israel has the disadvantage of being surrounded by hostile neighbors though. I can't imagine downscaling the economy is a good idea in that situation.

I'm not sure that's worse than demographic decline.
