I honestly think a small part of Mastodon's problem is the name, for a while I would just think of the metal band or the fossil record. I feel like at least for me there is a subconscious effect that names and branding have that can be hard to notice.

Nice, makes me feel less worried about how dark it's starting to get each day. Is there a higher resolution available?
If more people lived with that sort of style, they wouldn't even have to give up modern conveniences. If there was higher demand, there could be development to increase internet accessibility in residences like that, better equipment for cooking and plumbing, insulation, etc. There could be modular small dwellings easy to build, like the way people used to get Sears home plans and lumber delivered and build their own house.
I can't even think of what the reason he would say the Soviets would have to bury the history. I went to the post to see if users agreed or added more to his point but of course he hid the replies.
Thinking for a second it wasn't a typo, a land departure feature would be excellent, either flying or amphibious mode.
What year was the tablet? Samsung argued against Apple that they couldn't own the design of the tablet itself because it had been done in 1968 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Either way, nearly every piece of tech could probably be found first in sci-fi.
The Wikipedia article for the attack has a pretty thorough summary of the events, most aspects of it are pretty well documented as far as I can tell. Essentially, the police were able to slow them down while congress members were evacuated to more secure areas. After a woman was shot breaking into a barricaded chamber door, much of the attack seemed to dissipate, and not long after further reinforcements were able to help clear the rest of the building. Trump then told his supporters to go home, knowing they had been routed.
There's a concept, 'conspicuous consumption,' that people will use products in such a way for their social power regardless of anything else. So getting higher quality diamonds, whatever imperceptible difference it has, is still worth it to be seen as affording the higher tier. One of the ways in which market economies poison the brain.
They are cute, there is an interesting hierarchy of colorism in bugs. Green are cute, brown and black are gross or scary. You'd think that red and black would be scary, yet everyone loves the ladybug, what makes a ladybug cute? I saw a picture of like a big mass of ladybugs in the corner of a dirty house and it was a lot less cute.
Maybe I am misunderstand this whole conversation haha, but it seemed you thought it was a pessimistic view that the bosses won't pay a fair share, so I was replying that it seemed like a realistic view because in the position that bosses have, there is little incentive for a proper fair share. Though on reflection their comment was doomer-y regardless of the underlying intention.
Dang, I actually would like a Write-Top, and this technology at that point is impressive to me:
I'm sure modern tablets can do that even better but I haven't used one I really like the feeling of while writing.
*EDIT: Weight: 9lbs / 4 kg I change my mind, modern tablets are where it's at
