Yes-ish. While there are some good results from small scale tests, I’d argue that the effect it’d have on a macro level isn’t fully understood. I’m all for testing it out large scale so we can get some reliable data there as well. And if it turns out that it doesn’t result in inflation or corpos eating up the extra, then I’m all for it.

Just a minor scientific hurdle, I’m sure they’ll figure it out in the upcoming weeks.

An uneducated hypothesis: have a bunch if these particles move back and forth in unison => directional force using only energy => space travel with infinite fuel

As well as macro

You can tell this isn’t a conservative “protect muh childrens freedoms and values”-signing, because they didn’t even bother to force any dead-eyed token children to attend the photo-op.

My mom is absolutely terrified of heights, to the point where she can’t stand on a chair without someone holding it. On tables isn’t happening. Ever.

But she’s perfectly fine with flying, and does so at least a couple of times per year. I even offered to take her flying in a very small aircraft a while back, and she had no problem with the idea.

1. Basterds
2. Pulp
3. Dogs
4. Jackie
5. Death Proof
6. Bill
7. Hollywood

Haven’t watched:
Django
Hateful

I love the top 4, the others are kinda meh, except Hollywood, which I found outright boring. I’m sure it was meant for movie buffs and other people more familiar with the real story. People already into Hollywood and feet probably love it.

Also, I was having hard time choosing between Dogs and Pulp for 2nd. Having said that, they’re both on par with Basterds, it’s just that my WW2 interest makes Basterds appeal just that micron extra.

And an unpopular opinion: Kill Bill is overrated. Interesting cinematography, but apart from that I find it completely forgettable. The only reason why I cared enough to watch both movies was to figure out the deal with Bill, which I guess was kind of the point. But if someone had told me who he was and what he did after the 1st movie, I probably wouldn’t have bothered with the 2nd.

I was a pretty big contributir to Everything2.com
It’s not as encyclopedia-like as wikipedia, but still a reasonably good source of information. The biggest annoyance was that you couldn’t include pictures in a writeup.

I moderate a few smaller but active ones. I don’t see a whole lot of bad stuff apart from the occasional garbage opinion such as [insert least favorite ideology here].

This might be because the places I mod are pretty chill in nature. I’m sure of the topic was something more volatile and spicy, such as politics, it could be a different story.

Yup, that’s pretty much spot on. I don’t really have a problem with .world myself. I do hear a lot of complaints about admin powertrips, but I’ve never used .world so I have not experienced this myself.

It’s a combination of tankies and some more level headed leftists. They do have a decent proportion of OK users and the occasional decent meme, but the frequent genocide denialism and too many tankies have resulted in a lot of blocks and bans.

I have 4 kids, two cats, and a house with someone I used to think was long gone from my life; We accidentally ran into each other again while I was visiting the old country, and then a volcano caused me to stay for a week extra, and old sparks began to reignite.

Also, my career for the past 15 years has been in an industry I hadn’t heard of before, all because I applied to something “different”, just to see. I didn’t meet any of the educational requirements, I didn’t know what the job was about, the job interview didn’t go particularly well (not poorly either, though), but somehow they hired me out of a stack of 200 interviewees.

“Puke crater” alone describes the magnitude.

“Death panels”. Yeah, I remember when that was the talking point some 15 years ago and I wondered how that didn’t apply to insurance companies. It made me glad I lived in Glen Becks definition of “socialist hellscape” - Scandinavia.

I have no idea how to answer your question, I just want to point out something you hinted at, intentionally or not: The UHC CEO and other ghouls like him have killed more Americans than Bin Laden could ever dream of. Hell, I think even Adolf would be impressed.

As a european tax payer, I’m all for doubling the aid, regardless of what USA does.

Yeah, that’s the main downside to this: the rebels involve sub-factions of, amongst others, Al Quaeda, and I don’t think having them in charge would be an upgrade.

However, considering the diverse coalition of the ones fighting against Assad at this point, I suspect that Assads replacement would succumb to infighting.
