I don’t know. Personally I don’t need a “place” to go visit someone that is deceased, but I have very close family that needs that place in order to grieve. Pets or human family, they need to be buried and have a marker.

When I lived in a more urban environment the only way to achieve that was through graveyards/pet cemeteries. With some land and the option I’d rather bury people at home now, but lots of people don’t have that luxury, but still have the need to “visit” deceased loved ones, and know where they “are.”

I’m not one of those people, sounds like you aren’t either, but that doesn’t mean that a graveyard doesn’t serve a useful purpose for the majority of people.

Could they be more efficient? Sure, maybe. But honestly do they really take up THAT much space?

Definitely fits the unpopular opinion tag, but I think you’ve got some blinders on your empathy if you don’t see their value.

Agree in principle. Haven’t seen Yesterday, but Across the Universe soundtrack is my go to Beatles cover album.

The game defined the factory builder genre. Everything that followed (Dyson sphere project, satisfactory, shapez, etc etc etc) came after factorio (nicknamed cracktorio because of its addictive qualities) was released.

Gameplay wise it’s a top down with some vehicles and weapons, which is not unique at all, but the core of the gameplay loop was unique and spawned an entire sub genre of build games.

For the akshuallys in the room, it is possible that there were factory line builders before factorio that I’m not aware of, but none had the depth and breadth and definitely none were as popular/iconic.

He’s not a citizen, he’s a lawful permanent resident (has a green card).

Citizens go through the naturalization process. Green card holders have not done so, and retain citizenship of a different country than the USA.

Thank you so much!

I hadn’t really considered how much of the knowledge is local. That makes sense though, in a duh why didn’t I already think of that kind of way.

I’m not ready to get started yet but I like reading about potential future hobbies or things I just find generally interesting, such as bee keeping, so the general knowledge will be fine for now.

Hello! I have considered getting into bee keeping as a retirement thing but I don’t know a good resource to start learning.

Are there any good online communities you can recommend, forums, etc?

There are no sources for that because it’s so wrong and dumb I don’t think you can even find one that would claim it.

-tons of natural resources (oil, precious metals, fisheries, timber)

-tons of undeveloped land

-unique landscapes for USA

-crazy strategic value to geography (Aleutian chain, proximity to VERY quickly melting arctic ice passages to other parts of the world that have historically been nigh impassable)

-it reliably votes red every general election, and most Alaska senators and house reps are Republican (even if they are more often the odd-votes)

The list goes on. The comment you’re replying to is one of the dumbest trump speculations I’ve ever seen. Trump has enough we can speculate on, we don’t need to make up nonsense.

I hard disagree with one of your positions; I think 0 F is cold but 100 F is insane. I assume we grew up in different climates. I say this only to make the point that it’s subjective, but 0-100 is still the range of what people generally find tolerable.

Tell me you don’t understand how electrical transformers work without telling me you don’t know understand electrical transformers work.

For the 40mm impact munitions in the list. Riot control gear.

“Grenade launcher” here isn’t very specific. Could be like an M203 or something, which is a tube launcher that lobs 40mm rounds up to about 100m. You can absolutely get 40mm frag grenades and blow shit up, that’s what most people think of when they think of a “grenade launcher,” but that’s not what it’s on the list here. You can lob gas canisters, smoke, illumination flares, etc etc etc, just depends on what you’re trying to do.

Louis explains in several videos on his channel.

They’re experimenting with a business model where they ask users to pay for the product if you get value from it. Development isn’t free, their time is valuable. In return they’ll never harvest and sell your data.

If this experiment is a success it can demonstrate that it’s a viable business strategy to not harvest data, which is good for everyone.

Personally, at this point I’m trying out the FUTO keyboard but it’s too janky for me to pay for it. Lots of bugs and swipe is not good. I hope it gets better and I’m trying to help the project by submitting bug reports.

Grayjay I’ve barely used but I see the potential, and if it gets good I’ll pay for it. I paid for Signal messenger because it’s the same kind of thing.

It’s up to you. They’re telling you what the price is, it’s the honor system if you use it and get value from it.

Phone number 2FA isn’t useless, insomuch as it’s better than no 2FA at all, but it is easily the worst form of 2FA because SIM jacking (usually involves a scammer tricking a customer service agent into migrating your phone number to their device instead of yours in order to intercept the 2FA messages) is laughably simple using easily acquired info such as your DOB, address, and last 4 of your SSN.

If phone 2FA is the only option, use it. But don’t use it if you have any other option.

YEAH LICK MY ASS BITCH

1440p is the sweet spot. Very affordable these days to hit high FPS at 1440 including the monitors you need to drive it.

1080@120 is definitely low budget tier at this point.

Check out the PC Builder YouTube channel. Guy is great at talking gaming PC builds, prices, performance.

Concrete is gravel, sand, cement, lyme, and water, mixed in various ratios.

There’s a lot of variations and additives that can change how quickly it cures, often to speed it up or slow it down to account for weather (temperature and humidity play a huge part in how it cures), or to modify the pace of how it cures so you can keep building on it if you’re building vertically.

It’s a simple concept that gets incredibly complicated very quickly.

Big rocks, little rocks, cement, water.

I’m sure he could tell. I just think he thought he could help, but eventually resigned when he realized that he was less effective than he expected he would be, and refused to be complicit in the administration.
