May be possible.

“A far future construction of a dyson sphere may be possible, but remains highly unlikely.”

Quite/entirely/absolutely necessary. Quite is better for the negative while the other two are better for the positive.

“It’s not quite necessary that you bring a dish to the potluck, but it is requested that all who can do so”

“It’s absolutely necessary that you file your taxes by the deadline lest you risk an audit”

I really like More Perfect Union on YouTube. It’s definitely more journalism than news, so you get investigations into what’s going on.

Building up a good emergency savings fund. When things break I don’t even have to think about if I can afford to fix or replace them. I may have to make decisions on how nice of a version I can have, but I never have to worry I won’t have a car or may have to take a quick loan. Financial worries have become “how long can I be unemployed without issue” or “can I upgrade this thing” or “what’s our budget for a car/apartment/house”.

Mostly that gridiron football is a public health crisis and should be treated as such

I’m definitely getting into self hosting because of the DIY thing. The rise of modern smart homes has led to homeaasistant being a great diy project for those inclined towards fucking around with their home and those who’d rather not have corpo scum surveil them because of it

Do they fear commitment or just not want it. Commitment is great, but it’s hard and a lot of effort and it changes you. Some people fear that, some people reject it not out of fear but because they don’t think that they’re ready or that the value proposition holds up for them.

Nothing more nutritious than cabbage. And the fact that it tastes so good is just a bonus.

Emotional maturity and financial responsibility

Ok yeah you ever hear a Japanese person just get really excited to get to speak English to an American again? Best part of going to Japan on business

Ngl I love a good Appalachian accent

Because for non public figures we keep thinking we have dead to rights evidence of crimes and executing people who turn out innocent

You tell them it’ll take a miracle to pull off so they see you as a miracle worker when you do it

Ah yes one of the rants from the design of everyday things

Yesterday, and only because I didn’t feel so good today

You should go outside for a walk or something

Yes, I believe it’s nearly always immoral, and the exception is public figures directly involved in crimes against humanity.

If you have to have a trial to figure out if you got the right person, that’s too much doubt. It’s just Nuremberg, Saddam, the radio guy from Rwanda, and folks like them. Everything else regardless of how monstrous the state should only kill if they are absolutely incapable of keeping that person from taking more lives.

Also governments should be held accountable when one prisoner kills another in a situation that could have been predicted. And yes this includes pedos being stabbed in prison.

Yeah this question really was “have you traveled to a different hemisphere”. Ok ok, there’s also central America and the Caribbean, but most American trips to either of those places are to resorts in impoverished nations unless it’s to Costa Rica, which i hear is gorgeous, but is also the equivalent of Aussies going to southeast Asia, but more culturally similar.

Why don’t we go to other hemispheres? Because they’re very far away. I’d be shocked if Canadians were significantly more likely to go to other countries (us excluded), and they’re quite a bit closer being further north. And a lot of Americans live between two mountain ranges in the middle of north America, where it’s a flight to either coast before flying to a different continent.

Yeah I went to Japan for work.

I was supposed to go to Europe when I graduated high school, but my mom got cancer instead. And by the time my sister graduated I was disowned so our father and her went without me.

I still want to go to Europe, but unfortunately it’s very far away. And I’d love to go back to Japan and see more than just factories in small cities. Tokyo was gorgeous but I only saw the airports and trains.

If the middle east were to stabilize and get really cool about a lot of things really fast I really want to see Iraq and Iran. I’d love to see Babylon and other early cities.

Fair warning it will also continue yellowing and getting more and more brittle if you do nothing. Plastic doesn’t biodegrade, but it does undergo aging in a way that makes it less durable than traditional materials. Wood can be kept from biodegrading, metal can be kept from corroding, but aging plastic just gets more and more brittle and just really wants to become microplastics

I’ve never been Muslim or spoken Arabic, but I’ve adopted inshallah. It means hopefully or with any luck
