@chrisafk remind me what kind of work do you do? Are you interested in relocating?

What do you do for work?
Would you rather your children be unusually happy or unusually smart?
What are your favorite websites?

New psyop: make cybersec ppl believe that a faction of normies are directly and specifically acting against their cybersec training to protest the level of cybersec obligation imposed on the end-user. At least it will be a useful myth for cybersec ppl to talk about undue obligation.
Men are designed for adventures.
They spend the best years of their lives doing great deeds in order to earn their place in the world.
Leaving home
Wooing women
Late nights fighting for a degree
Traveling across the country for a paycheck.
After years of blood, sweat, tears, risk, and fear they might be so lucky as to earn their place in the world.
But, there will always be a little part of them that misses the days where they were building something.
Because Men are designed for adventures.
My kids stroller doesn't have a cup holder and that's absolutely outrageous

@niplav you can mute keywords?!?!
I gets frustrated about how otherwise good accounts post or boost a ton of niche politics. It would be nice nice if I could block the activism but keep the memes

Captured both aircraft of the Growler Demo Team in vapor cone, Sunday at Airshow London. This was a completely lucky combination of drive speed and when I chose to begin shooting; this fleeting moment lasted a fraction of a second. #AviationPhotography #avgeek #airshow

“If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.” —Wanda Sykes
The strategy of "Consider the trends of the past century, and assume they hold for the next millenia" has never been an effective way of predicting the future
I think your strategy of taking it 100 years at a time is solid, but rather than calling this paper hard sci-fi I think it's closer to an object lesson about the dangers of applying pure math to an engineering and economics question.
@elight this article points put that global energy usage has increased by about 3% per year over the last 50 years, and assumes that that rate of growth will continue for the next 1000 years. So, 3% compounded for 1,000 years. Long story short, the article assumes that in 3023, we will be using about 6.87 trillion times more energy than we used today. A lot of the secondary math might be right, but I think that initial assumption is unlikely to hold up
