It's not as big as France, even though it's covered very populated areas in 450 municipalities. There are actually over 300k affected homes with over 500k displaced, of which over 80k are in emergency shelters. The damage to transportation, water and electricity infrastructure was immense.

Remember this is water, which has a much greater thermal capacity than air.

Thanks, the author has great points of view not only on portraits but also on the art of the game in general. DE really is a Masterpiece!

I had to borrow money from the bank this year to buy a car. That made me feel too adult and kind of drove me into a crisis.

That graph really is very impressive. I've always always wondered about the size scale in which most phenomena around us happen, but that very narrow isodensity area containing from viruses to main sequence stars is mind blowing.

I realized why your comment bothered me so much: I am kind of an antinatalist myself, so for me having children is always dooming them in some way, especially nowadays when our civilization is on the brink of collapsing, but I don't judge these people to be more selfish than the usual. People with Li Fraumeni Syndrome have a 50% chance to pass down the mutation to their offspring, it's no certainty, and the article is clearly showing current technology can detect cancer earlier so people can act upon it. You are calling these people, who have cancer or mostly certainly will, selfish, when you don't have the faintest idea of what it means to live in their shoes. If it is selfish or not, that is something for their children to decide, not you. Passing shallow moral judgment on the reproductive decisions of disabled/sick people is very dehumanizing, not to say it's one of the core elements of eugenics ideology. It's not hard to see how your standing would enable a more extreme view arguing that people with Li Fraumeni Syndrome should be sterilized.

This. You might have to clear up some space before installing pacman-contrib though.

paccache -rk1 once in a while and you're good, maybe even create a hook

You know what is fatal 100% of the time? Living at all.

Reproduction is not about logic anyway, it's just a very common and fundamental feature of life. People who are disabled or fatally ill also have ordinary dreams, desires and human rights. Framing the issue as "these people are dooming their progeny" makes it seem like their own lives are worthless because they will die young, as if the value of human life rested on longevity. It's quite frivolous to assume we can understand the desire to have kids of people with such diagnoses.

We need to reform our monetary system. Credit generates money, which is supposed to represent actual created wealth. In order to obtain credit, social agents have to convince banks and nation-states that they will create actual wealth in the future. Thus, money is created in advance of wealth and is attached to an expectation of growth.

The financial system has always been broken and it's incapable of dealing with the climate crisis. These researchers know how swiftly we must take action for a civilization to exist at all in the next few decades. Global economy has only one possible future apart from annihilation, which is to stop emitting greenhouse gases and to start capturing carbon. That project and all it entails should be the promise that generates new money, since any wealth will be rooted in that endeavour. Money is the soul of an economy, and ours is based on colonialism, slavery, exploitation, expropriation and wealth concentration, that's why the world worships the US Dollar.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by diagnosing, but it's usually a good idea to use the same distro you're having trouble with.
