Arvid Nordqvist only coffee option in Sweden.

As Finn, I may have said that I prefer Nordqvist to Paulig stuff. I'm not admitting anything though. I'm just saying there is a possibility that I may have perhaps let words to that effect come out of my Nordqvist filled mouth.

What makes it a walled garden?

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

Its a difficult balance to have. No one wants to see anyone killed, but everyone wants to see risks being taken and the drivers wrestling with the machine beasts. Its incredible. But at some point it just gets too dangerous. Like with Group B. The Henri Toivonen interview before his crash is pretty chilling, he explains that the stages are so long, the cars so fast that its impossible to keep concentration for the whole time. Then he sadly proved himself to be correct.

As much as I love Group B, banning it was the correct thing to do. I will never say that the safety aspect has gone too far, but it has made things a bit... boring. I still watch F1, Rally, WEC and I think its awesome. But its different than what it was. Like it wasn't too long ago when F1 cars looked nervous going on a straight. I vividly remember Mika Häkkinen bombing down the Hockenheimring and the car just wouldn't keep in a straight line. These days the cars look like they are on rails. I'm gonna stop myself before I start ranting about this years cars.

Would you call neocities.org a walled garden as well?

giving future trillionaires an option to get off the planet when we inevitably turn on them.

I say we should help and support them in this project in every possible way. Lets help them get to Mars or Venus. Sound awesome. I would love to read the headline "Elon Musk landed on Mars" and then never have to think about that guy ever again.

It wasn't just trump saying it. They repeated it many times in the NASA stream before the launch. Regarding moonlanding deniers, they are just gonna misunderstand it on purpose and say "see! They never went to the moon with Apollo! Why would they be saying they have never went so far before!" etc. They are already doing it... >_>

Yeah I kinda cringed on that "god bless america" speech before the launch. Isn't there 2 Canadians on board and a big part of the Orion was made/designed by ESA? All they got "and our partners around the world" in that speech.

I'm happy that "we" are going back there but this propaganda sillyness is disappointing. I know its always been a part of governments doing space projects, after all I think the only reason "we" are going back there is because the Chinese are going back there. The disappointing thing is that when I was a kid I really thought we would be over ourselves by now, but turns out that seems to be impossible and we are just going back to throwing rocks at each others. Plaaargh.

Anyway. Cool launch, that thing jumped off the pad as if someone kicked it in the nuts. Impressive stuff.

Theres a difference between reusing parts and reusing technology.

Regarding that economic point of view thinking.. I remember reading a World War 1 history book where they mentioned that before the war, every economist was saying that there wont be a war because the world's economies are so deeply linked, the UK and Germany were doing too much trade...

Economists have been absolute fucking morons about history and how the world works for literal centuries. We really should pull them down from the pedestal they have climbed on, sit them down and tell them to shut the fuck up for a few decades.

I would say the very minimum is 8GB nowadays.

I had to check. I do have 8GB, wohoo!

 

I changed my theme to the Hercules 1982 theme. Its very nice, other than the colors are a bit off for my taste. I'd like to change those.

I managed to change the background color to what I wanted, by the cunning use of copypasting a part of a css tutorial thing. But turns out, copypasting doesn't work for everything. I'm a total newbie, I drive trucks for a living, I have no idea what I'm doing with these computing machine things lol.

Anyway, I'd like to change the text color and the title bar background color, the thing that has the Piefed logo, communities, explore, account and donate links. I tried looking for tutorials and such, but I think I'm looking for wrong things or maybe I'm just underestimating my own stupidity (very highly likely). Anyone wanna help me?
