If some things get downvoted way out of proportion

A thing I learned on that other site starting with a R is that Up/Down votes aren’t rational you can get a lot of votes for a one line joke not answering the question, and get downvoted for a long argumented paragraph without anybody telling you wha’t s wrong. So I tend to not care about votes.

Indeed, I don’t get why upvotes are public, but downvotes are hidden unless you have some admin rights on an instance.

By definition, most political problem don’t have a clear/unique good solution. You want to build more housing ? But how do you do-it ? Even on pretty technical topic like fire-safety, where do you set the balance between blocking various industries with heavy procedure and ignoring all safety practices for the sake of efficiency ?. Look at topic like tobacco and drugs ? Do you want to ban them because it’s unhealthy ? Or allow them on the name of personal freedom ? Depending who look at the questions, it’s going to change a lot.

For this kind of things, get a nurse coming at home to do it, it’s out of what a randomq person can do safely.

To find friend, try any possible hobby, no matter whether you play volley ball, volunteer at the red Cross, or are part of a wine tasting group.

Sure you may need to meet 100 persons to have one you trust enough to call them a friend, but you need to start somewhere

No,

However, be clear with potential lovers (if any) that you’re not searching to get engaged yet. So people have clean expectation. Moreover, think about your mental well-being first and don’t destroy your health by over working.

The few things I could understand about that.

• Modern fighter jet have a huge software part. Remember the Top-Gun film where the F-14 needed an officer on the backseat to monitor radar, position, identify target and tons of stuff I have no idea about ? In machine like the F-35 it’s replaced by a computer. Like any other software it’s relatively easy to implement some permission to use-it.

• Modern fighter are pretty complex piece of hardware, and you can’t just have a good mechanic reproducing a part with their own tools and need a whole supply chain running

• It’s not even that new nor American only. Remember the Falkland war ? Airbus sent some french engineer to help Argentinian operating the Exocet missile because sinking a British warship is good for marketing and once done, the French gov told their British allies where the missile batteries were located (because their allies after all). Except that with modern technology, you can do both without having to have a defence industry engineer travelling. And realistically, any country exporting weapon would have way to make sure the weapon won’t be used against them (while not limiting too much their usage to not fuck their marketing)

In many places, passing the test on an automatic would give you a licence restricted to automatic only (and the need for some more hours to learn how to drive a manual). While it’s not that easy to switch from manual to automatic, it’s definitely easier, so get a licence on a regular car first and if you have the opportunity to drive an automatic you’ll find out by yourself in a couple of hours how it works

Obligatory thought to cobol, which is stil the backbone of banking computers.

I would also think to the good old electromechanical relay which are still pretty common

More political, but whatever what imperator Musk thinks Privacy isn’t obsolete

It’s funny because I am cooking with nutmeg, and was saying that. A quick search tells me that you can have hallucination from 15g of nutmeg.

However, with the strong taste, sounds like a good netty bad poison
