Logi

I’d joke about Venn diagrams but I’m afraid.

Yeah, that’s a definite little poke after releasing.

If so, then that’d be the real reason why the Italians hanged him.

All of this will easily take more than 10 years.

We’ve been listening to this bullshit for well over 10 years now.

Nuclear should always have been one of the tools and there would be much less fossil fuel being burnt now and for the next few decades.

The scale of importing uranium vs importing oil or coal is not remotely comparable. And anyway, you’re importing oil and gas now so that wasn’t a win.

And listening to Germany acting as if they can’t engineer some power plants is pathetic.

My people would rather have starved than eat crustaceans. Lobsters were being fed to prisoners in the US until recently. People are weird.

(It was a valiant attempt)

-20°F is -29°C

(A handy thing to remember is that -40°F is -40°C)

Ah, would have worked the other day too 🙂

notsureif.png you’re deliberately confusing left and right to sound even more stupid.

That isn’t Mercator, then the longitude lines would be parallel and not converge at the pole like that. Greenland really is massive, even without the Mercator distortion.

And Europeans.

I’m just listening to an interview with the head of the Icelandic National Broadcaster and their line is that this was “not a political decision” on their part, but because this programme item would no longer be the “joyful unifying event” that it has been and is supposed to be, so they’re not taking part. There is a bit of hand-washing going on, but they’re not really wrong either.

It seems that no decision has been made about whether to hold the usual preliminary local competition, and the media reports don’t even mention whether the finals will be shown.

They have historically been on the side of genocide. It was foolish to think they would change.

The Frenchies make some excellent ones. (The smell of cheese washes off.).

So this is the EU parliament gift shop on-line?

Well yes, they’re trying to steal this money for themselves. Or probably Trump himself personally.

You don’t fix a systemic problem by taking revenge on those who were lucky enough to benefit from that system, unless, maybe, if they are working to maintain or propagate it.

Not Italian but can confirm the relief moving from Rome to a smaller Northern city,

Plan9 all the way!

Per Gemini, but note the bolded text in the last paragraph:

The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode you’re describing is “The Arsenal of Freedom” (Season 1, Episode 21).

In this episode, the Enterprise investigates a planet called Minos, where an advanced, fully automated weapon system is being demonstrated. This system, run by a sentient computer, is designed to constantly adapt and improve its combat capabilities. When Picard and his away team are trapped on the planet, they encounter the holographic salesman of this system, who insists on demonstrating its “effectiveness.”

The computer system, in its relentless pursuit of demonstrating its weaponry, keeps offering reasons why its automated destruction and even the elimination of populations (effectively genocide in the context of its function) is a logical and efficient outcome in its “sales pitch.” Picard, of course, is horrified by this logic.

The “Picard orders tea” detail isn’t quite right for this specific episode. While Picard often orders tea, the issue in “The Arsenal of Freedom” is the computer’s relentless and amoral justification of its destructive capabilities, not a glitch triggered by a tea order. However, the core concept of a computer system calmly explaining the benefits of what amounts to genocide is definitely present.
