No fucking way. I ain’t gonna’ die fighting for the inflated egos, of the morons in charge of the world powers and their ass-lickers. I’d gather up my loved ones and leave in a heartbeat, if my country started forced conscription. I’m not enough of a nationalist to die “for king and fatherland”, no matter how much i like this little country.

Wonder if they could make an explosive filled Cessna stealthy enough for that…

We take the protection of your personal information very seriously

Fuck, I loathe this corporate bullshit phrase. Obviously you didn’t take it serious enough, now did you? For some reason this phrase really grinds my gears. Fair enough that you had a data breach and so on, but don’t brush off the issue like this…

Well, kinda. Vaccines are tools for “educating” your immune system. Classical vaccines generally work by providing “dead”/harmless examples of a particular infection, so that your immune system will recognize the real thing and stop it early, so it doesn’t develop to much. The immune system takes a while to get going, so “teaching” it in advance makes a huge difference against aggressive, quick acting infections.

The mRNA vaccines skip most of the “learning phase” and provide the body directly with the template to produce the right antibodies. And this is where the “cure”-part comes in. The whole problem with cancer is that it consists of a variation of your own cells. Which is why the immune system won’t target it. It’s not an infection or foreign. To your immune system it’s just another part of you. mRNA can be used to tell the immune system to attack it anyway, leveraging it against the cancer. But it requires a sample of the cells to be attacked, so as to make the right mRNA for the particular instance of cancer. So it’s not really useable as a preventative thing. At least not yet…

Well, the alternative is a good chance of dieing from cancer and/or radiation poisoning. So even if mRNA vaccines did actually mess with DNA, I’d take the chance for a permanent cure.

Yes, but we also have proportional representation in our parliaments. Making gradual ideological change realistic.

I’ll tell you hwat!

That depends on where you live though. Here in Denmark, as an example, we have a certificate called “Statskontrolleret økologisk” which basically translates to “Government-certified organic”. There are specific guidelines and rules that need to be followed, to be allowed to use this seal on your product.

I find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; “and that’s my theory about…” And I’m like; that’s not a theory, that’s a hypothesis…

Personally I’ve had really good luck with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and R7800 models. They are supported by openWRT as well if you are into that. An issue might be that they are “only” WiFi 5 units. Some of the newer models in the Nighthawk series might be just as good, but i don’t have personal experience with those…

Get out the spicy gum!

Huh. Good point. Paint is so ambiguous to me that I didn’t even think about that. Kinda plays into the meme as well, funnily enough.

Just download the image, put it into Paint, select the right half with the selection tool and press delete. Hey presto!

Softmaker Freeoffice has worked brilliantly for me. It’s very familiar if you are used to Microsoft Office, and it seems to do the compatibility part very, VERY well.

There is honestly more than enough potential in her sisters’ stories for several movies. Especially their service during the great war as HMHS Britannic and “Ol’ reliable” HMT Olympic

I’m picturing the chip overload from Kingsman.

FFS… They could at least fucking skim the report they are writing about. It’s not 40%, it’s 28%…

The total global electricity consumption, from all sources, including renewables, was 28 500 TWh in 2022, a 2.5% increase compared with 2021 (and a 25% increase compared with ten years earlier, 2013) (EMBER, 2023). According to IRENA (2023b) the percentage of electricity consumption met by RE was 27.8% in 2022, up from 27.6% in 2021. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) (2023), demand is expected to grow by slightly less than 2% in 2023.
