“You wouldn’t download a car…”

At the pay-to-play rate our society is going, I fucking will

What exactly are you saying here now? You’re being intentionally vague

Nobody, at least seriously, is threatening YOU to vote a specific way. The threat comes from one candidate specifically, of which our glorious 2 party system has confirmed will ONLY be one of those two. And he isn’t threatening YOU, but rather our entire way of life. So, go ahead and vote however you want. Just know the repercussions on the grand scale, and maybe be a little humble.

What haven’t they done forever?

This is what happens right before the major money holders abandon ship. There’s no way they don’t know this is business-suicide. I bet they got a big payday from some companies that paid Glassdoor to shoot itself in the face!

YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name

I’ve been watching this game from the sidelines for like 10 years.

See you all in another 10.

I wish to share my most sincere gratitude and love with the service member and their family. According to the article this is the second self immolation outside an Israeli embassy in the US.

Israel is committing genocide, and the US is complicit. Don’t let anyone forget that.

And my collection would do well with more GameBoy-size cases

Either way, I’ve used Memmy since June including now and haven’t noticed any issues

I would wait for the cold months to pass. You’ll be paying more for heating, but if you play it right you can save on air conditioning this summer.

As is tradition

Look it up, you shall be disappointed. They did create an artificial moon! But it is only 2-feet in diameter. It is also not launched into the atmosphere to look like a moon, but rather used in a research facility where they simulate moon-gravity with magnetism.

So they watch dust and tiny rocks roll around on a magnetic sphere.

Look at that, a galaxy full of single-biome planets!

“Bombies”: the smaller explosive ordinance involved in cluster bombing with up to a 30% dud rate.

We (the US) dropped a plane-load of bombs on Laos every 8 minutes for a decade straight.

Thanks China, without your censorship I wouldn’t have learned this absolutely humiliating story of your past. You are so weak because your pilots cook rice in eggs! Now the secret is out!

I know for a fact I’ll put another 200 hours in quickly, minimum.

Sometimes I think about how much I’ll play this game when I’m old and retired as well!

You’re spot on ;) Xeelee Sequence is a collection of a bunch of books, loosely held together by the fact that they all take place in the same universe propagated with all possible forms of life. This is a story where there were entire civilizations rising and falling during the first pico-seconds of the Big Bang.

I believe there have been multiple sci-fi stories written about such concepts. It would go to assume that any civilization still around in 10^43 years from now will have no choice but to live around black holes while harnessing their rotational energy. My current favorite series, Xeelee Sequence by Stephen Baxter, explores some possible endings of life in the long-term life cycle of the universe. There is also the final book of the Three Body Problem, which if I remember correctly, shows civilizations in pocket universes around black holes.

There is a YouTube video you may want to watch by Isaac Arthur. It mentions the possibility of combining black holes to elongate their life, and I won’t spoil the final answer for you. But like always, entropy prevails.
