The main hurdle is really experience (I am <5yr) and family (my parents are aging and may need my intervention in fewer years than I think). Firms usually only hire internationally for skilled engineers and there’s no guarantee my accredited degree from the US is valid anywhere else. And if I went someplace other than Canada, the travel costs would likely result in me only coming back to see the rest of my family once every two years, which sucks and could pose actual problems.

Don’t get me wrong, I honestly do like the idea of going someplace with real human rights, but unless it becomes clear there is actually a threat to my existence I can’t justify that big of a change. I love my family too much.

Hope that Canada or one of the Nordic/EU countries have job openings for an engineer.

this may be a signal that Russia is reaching the limit of its ability to sustain the war and he’s trying to grab a hold of what little land he tenuously holds right now. Putin wants to wrap it up before they start to lose ground again.

I’m very interested in experimenting with na-ion this summer. Their specific power/energy densities are still low compared to li-ion but their cells are already available for cheaper than li-ion despite having not reached economies of scale yet. They also seem to be reporting (unverified in data sheets) longer cycle lifespans and larger operational temperature ranges. Could make for a very nice self managing solar powered pi project soon.

If costs drop fast, the lower density won’t even matter- it could be the kick in the ass for utility scale battery storage to take off.

Sure it can. People will pay to not see it.

A capital libertarian government would not fund public roads. You would need to pay a toll to drive on every privately built road, because your capital is free to move. But roads to certain places would cost more than others, thus restricting the individual’s liberty to their ability to pay.
A individually libertarian government funds public roads. Individuals then retain the right to self-determination to decide where they want to go without restriction. How they go on those roads might be subject to their capital restrictions- whether they walk, bike, drive, rollerskate, or whatever. But they are at least allowed to use those roads.

Certain things will always be needed in our society for humans to function. If humans are not functioning correctly, they are not free to self-determine their path. Gating such a simple thing as healthcare, which again, humans absolutely need to function, behind the ability to pay is inherently restricting their individual liberty in an immoral way.

This is a bit of a loaded question and very poorly written. Bad troll is bad.

The problem stands that modern “Libertarians” have been corrupted by corporations and conservative bigots to mean “elimination of government and regulation” and not “government to uphold liberty” like it originally did. A correctly Libertarian government would write laws that solely uphold the power of the individual’s self determination, which inherently requires restriction of the power of capital.

I consider myself Libertarian, but I feel there now has to be a distinction made between “Capital Libertarians” and “Individual Libertarians”. One wants the liberty of capital, the other wants the liberty of the individual. I find myself in the latter. Corporations can go fuck themselves, the individual is paramount.

“Socialist” things like public infrastructure, and yes, public healthcare, would be supported by individual libertarianism. Social support structures like these support individual liberty but restrict capital liberty by requiring taxes to support them, whereas supporting capital liberty by making it “pay as you go” does nothing but remove the individual liberty of the population that finds themselves without any capital through no fault of their own. I absolutely support universal healthcare.

Smash both

Here before Nintendo files a cease&desist for daring to make a way better service than their shitty phoned-in subscription emulation service

If they used Google maps, Niantic would have to pay Google. That’s no Bueno. Why pay for content critical to your apps success when you could just freeload on volunteers work instead?

Hmm. Has it updated, and have you allowed it the correct site permissions? Every once in a while it’ll ask you to update the site modification permissions.

I’ve had zero issues with it on Firefox and DDG. May vary on other browsers and search engines though.

That works too, but indie buddy works better because it gives you a direct link to the proper indie wiki page in search results rather than just blocking Fandom and leaving you with nothing.

Most annoyingly, it always recommends Fandom’s Wiki above better alternative wiki sites.

use Indie Wiki Buddy extension to get rid of fandom.

This just in: tool developed by company who makes money from ad spending tries its best to spend as much as possible on ads regardless of effectiveness… more at 11.

Calling them in support of communism is overstretching the truth even. They’re really just run by tankies who operate in support of Russia and China’s dictatorships and dont give a shit about economic policy. I got banned from there for saying Ukraine defending themselves was right… they called me a nazi supporter LMAO.

As long as it’s the .world world news and not the .ml world news yeah

Their demands aren’t legitimized, only deferred.

I’ve been through exactly this situation when my university refused to negotitate with unionized faculty and drove the faculty to go on strike. The students tried to hold the board accountable for the absolute shitstorm they unleashed by 10+ years of gross mismanagement leading to this strike, but they had them get off the picket line and instead present their demands and concerns at a board meeting- where the board then ignored everything students said, told them “this isn’t your place to be speaking”, kicked them out, and went on for the last 4 additional years doing whatever the fuck they want.

Trust me, this tells other colleges nothing more than “let them talk so they shut up and get off the news”. That’s all any of them want. Board of Trustees are there to enrich themselves and do not exist to serve students.

I will happily eat whoppers until my mouth feels weird

Lol I know how this goes. Boards of Trustees give zero fucks what students think about anything, they just need them to shut up right now.
