If you can tariff penguin island you could also tariff polars, which isn't slow.

Well the Synthesizer is a sound of the Future. The sound of the future

This 80s metal band is making real music without synthesizers!

Na, that is just historically inaccurate. The original Macintosh team collected their stories/memoires at folklore.org, which give you a pretty good overview of his talents. He was really mercurial and Woz was the better engineer, but played a really important role in the vision/design of computers as we know them today. In the original Mac team others did the engineering and Jobs never claimed to be and engineering type of person, but he had a good feel on the importance of design, clear visual metaphors and good interaction design and pushed the team relentlessly into that direction.

If Europeans wouldn't sleep on this opportunity, we could massively improve our science recruiting. Related scientific paper of what getting the fired scientists from an autocracy can do to your science system: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257%2Faer.104.10.3222

t new regime. If you want peace, you have to fight peacefully. Yes it’s harder, but it’s the only way. But peaceful doesn’t mean passive (or law abiding)!

Oh sometimes, violence works to build peaceful gouvernments after. In Romania political violence created a functioning democracy. Dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu was executed by the revolutionaries after a 30 minute farce of a trial, but the country is now a democracy for more than 35 years.

A big part of the original propaganda of the deed was just that. Killing royals in Europe to show that power of the monarchies is limited

That is something that some tech savy Lemmy users could already easily do. I repost stuff from all over the web. But some systematic preservation of good old subreddits aught to be automated.

My American friends made me drink Keystone Ice and this was one of the most disgusting things I did ever drink. The rest was also not great. A few American beers were passable but I had better ones in most European countries.

Do you get the TOS or SNW Gorn. Because the SNW Gorn are a little bit more dangerous than the thing Kirk fought.
