pointless slrpnk material

fuck_u_in_particular kinda vibe

i upvoted from my part. i dont take pride in owning wooden furniture

Western Europe, Australia and Canada are just Yankee sluts. if u get those to leave the dollar then u have successfully beheaded the capitalistic cyclops

i guess so..but i was talking globally: planting trees doesn't sound efficient (at least in rural areas): it eats up fertile land and fresh water that could otherwise be used to grow crops or feed fresh water to humans. wind farms and solar should also be installed offshore to avoid wasting fertile land. also europe could use interconnectors to help transfer excessive energy produced by renewable between its countries to mitigate production intermitancy. extra urban estate should be dedicated for social housing or, ofc planting trees (if water reserves allow it)(china could afford planting extra trees, but europe can't afford that luxury for now and should implement social housing instead)(poorer countries are lightyears behind both europe and china, and china ofc leads the pack)

idk, a tree sound cool, but is it efficient ? a windmill could power an electrolyzer that could produce oxygen (from salty sea water) or power a carbon capture device. a windfarm could do both maybe. at least windfarms and solar are expendable and could be installed offshore, and a fertile land should prioritize crop growth instead of growing trees (also not growing trees help save water aquiefers for crop growth or human consumption and avoid the need for desalination stations) or installing renewable

tbh its so cool: it could be considered as a big dpf that needs to be cleaned every year or so, when it gets saturated. very useful around city limits and airport facilities

nice post history

idk what gaming implies but i think normal gaming is ok, on the other hand competetive gaming is absurd: 360fps@4k required, 10000dpi mouse (dafuq), optomechanical keyboard for nanosecond response lol (although i bought into one thou, didnt cost me a leg at least) ..just game responsibly at 1080 at normal dps and all should be fine..also cutting on those energy drinks would be an extra. hardcore gaming is just straight consumerism. also i loathe twitch streaming..such a waste of bandwidth and resources

In this section, the narrator explores the peculiarities of how cities are defined in the UK. Unlike other countries where city status is typically determined by population or government structure, Britain has its own unique criteria. The list of officially recognized cities in the UK includes some surprising and seemingly unworthy contenders, while notable places like London, Reading, and Northampton are mysteriously absent. Contrary to popular misconceptions, having a cathedral or a university does not necessarily confer city status. Instead, city status in Britain is granted by the monarch through personal command and letters patent. This tradition dates back to the 10th century and is the sole determinant of whether a place is officially classified as a city. The misconception that cathedrals play a role in city status stems from the historical significance of powerful church centers in small settlements. However, in the 19th century, as towns grew due to the Industrial Revolution, the rules were changed, and places like Birmingham gained city status based on their industrial importance rather than religious institutions. Overall, the criteria for city status in Britain are distinct and can be attributed solely to the monarch's decision. 00:05:00 In this section, the narrator discusses the inconsistencies in the list of British cities and how some cities have lost their city status. The merging of Rochester with its neighbors in 1998 inadvertently removed it from the official list of British cities. However, the opportunity to regain city status came in 2000 when the government allowed towns to bid for it. Many towns submitted bids, with Reading being the favorite to win. Ultimately, three new cities were added to the list: Brighton, Hove, and Inverness. The narrator questions the advantages of being a city instead of a town, as the benefits seem minimal. The bidding process seems to benefit the government in terms of positive PR without requiring much commitment. 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker questions the government's authority to change the definition of a city and suggests that perhaps it's time to abandon this system altogether and replace it with something more meaningful. However, the speaker recognizes that the government has more pressing matters to address and doubts that redefining the definition of a city will be a priority. The speaker concludes that this tradition, filled with pomp, ceremony, and a bit of royalty, is a quintessentially British thing that adds to the country's charm, and it's unlikely to change anytime soon. The speaker humorously predicts that at the current rate, every corner of the country will become a city by the year 3000.

its been a while since i watched his videos but i always take all what he says with a grain of salt..i guess there s another side to his life maybe..

off topic but op what would u think of this video: https://youtu.be/KdC9xube-2c?si=Z6R1bhAC1YJnuz8L

i know the channel from awhile back, and dude really has some solid points, since he kinda conveys nuanced opinions rather than having a categoric stance. but i saw this video posted around somewhere in lemmy and thought to myself: people in grad won't like this, and now i am sharing it with u to see what would u think about it, since the video tries to tell that not only america is chasing the homeless around..still i would really like to see how one from the opposite side would argue this :) i always believe in a civilized argument :)

they r full of crap, and hypocritical much so

tbh chinese doctorate holders contribute to science as much as their european counterparts or even more: so they benefit europe or the us where the research is conducted. but when they start to excel or outnumber their european counterparts then they are considered as a threat and they need to be ousted: when ousted europe pulls the surprised pikachu face when those researchers settle in their home country and try to commercialize their findings: those people benefit from state grants and subsidies. Russia, a country as a large as China with major state budget and yet their scientific contributions aren't as numerous, because there aren't as much hard working researchers as the chinese ones, and the state is underfunded since all the oil money goes to oligarch pockets and what not to spend on expensive cars and luxurious living. So chinese success is earned by merit since the chinese think long term instead of other wealthy but silly countries. What is wrong about plagiarism ? everyone can copy, but what matters is what u make of it next:Steve Jobs did copy, Bill G also did, why china should be an exception: US also making last dicth efforts to hinder chinese progress. At least chinese wealth funds beneficial research instead of promoting wars and subdizing weapon industries. I hope europe sees through this because the us economy is built on theft and hypocrisy. Brics is a first step, but when more countries join the club europe will have to choose in which side of the scale it wants to be, and thus it decides on how it would tip whether in its favour or not. Even after destroying nordstream, europe was already tied with india and russia by buying russian gas throu india, and it didnt buy american gas, since it didn't make any economical sense. the world would be more peaceful with the absence of american imperialism

Jin Xing, a former chief engineer for NXP Semiconductors NV, moved back to China and founded Autorock, which competes with his former employer. A new study by Strider Technologies Inc. found that large European technology companies lost over 30,000 experts to Chinese organizations, mostly in semiconductors and telecom equipment makers, over the past two decades. The Chinese Foreign Ministry rejected Strider’s conclusions, stating that China incentivizes intellectual property theft with cash grants, tax breaks, and other perks. The report highlights the scale of Chinese recruitment of Western tech workers and highlights the growing threat from China in recruitment of technological talent. The European companies that have lost the most employees to Chinese firms include Nokia Oyj, Ericsson AB, Siemens AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, and NXP. The workers' motivations for leaving ranged from lack of job opportunities, well-compensated compensation, and a sense of patriotism. China sees leadership in the semiconductor sector as vital to its military and commercial goals, and legal and trade barriers in the US will only push them to ramp up operations elsewhere. Huawei Technologies Co., ZTE Corp., Lenovo Group Ltd. and Wingtech Technology Co. are among the beneficiaries. Strider says it has no evidence that Jin stole IP, and attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.

well the affection/running costs ratio is just stunning! highest ROI ever witnessed..everyone is happy and its a win-win

good for them. hope those industries pay their dues to the goverment

24gig ? thats probably with swap enabled (like all chinese phones, false advertizing). any rooted phone with enabled swap could help extend the ram this much too. heck there s a paid app that could enables limitless swap using any class 10 sd card. also 120w would only make since if it would charge a 10k mAh battery or something.

Swift is like the Reddit of transaction systems. Time to spread the load, bois!

u can keep any industry strong with free taxpayer money
