I tried to grow crickets to make flour out of them, but it was much harder than I thought, those spiders seem easier, and are also meatier.
people give birth around age of 25
1: the adults in 1945
2: their babies became parents in 1970
3: their babies became parents in 1995
4: the babies of the parents in 1995 are now adults and are giving birth to the next generation
there have been 4 generations since ww2In the same time, hackernews has become a negative spiral of death. Every third post is negatively fatalist in some sort. From cancer to civilization and environmental collapse. Keep in mind, you can be fatalist in a positive way.
Everywhere you look, you see what you are looking for. As wallstreet people say, it is never as bad or as good as you think.
I suggest you do:
echo '0.0.0.0 news.ycombinator.com' | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
and just unblock it from time to time if you wanna see whats up. (thats what I do)I would use it quite often for this kinds of things.
and then you can query goodreads or amazon to find the actual book
Move 78 was not a lucky break. At least in my mind.
There are not many movies I cried to, in this movie I cried twice, once when Lee Sedol was apologizing for the loss, and once when he made move 78 and Alpha Go's probability to win dropped with 10%.
Now for me move-78 means hope.
The reality is: reduce, reuse, recycle, where recycle is absolutely last resort and I actually consider it harmful as it releases some kind of valve from people, and they think everything is going to be alright.
look how long it took for tabacco, and it still lost despite all the lobbying, but it is incredibly slow
Now we will spend a decade arguing which plastic is really recyclable, and if you can recycle it once is it enough, or should be 2 times? or does it degrade on its own? bio plastic (which turns out sometimes is worse than current common plastic) and etc.
Coca Cola's 'Please Recycle' on the caps makes me boil with rage, how about 'Please Don't Make it'?
There must be supply chain changes, probably 95% of my plastic is from the supermarket, it is increasingly more difficult to buy without plastic.
This must be banned, it will take decades until the free market regulates itself.
if you dont allow your children tiktok/insta/etc, they get completely excluded from their community.
a possibility is to move into a community that does not use social networks that much, so not using them is normalized, but sadly this is not easy in western europe (at least for me).
