So don't plan around it - American soldiers arrived on the beaches of Normandy and found that their assumptions for the production capabilities of their foe were completely out of proportion to the estimates they had made back at home - for every Nazi tank, there were 10 or 20 American ones, with more rolling off the factory floor every day! It was a killing blow that sent an incontrovertible message: you have lost, wholely and completely. Then, the atomic bomb, and the war was ended. The tanks won the war, the bomb ended it. the blood of the soviets bought time to build those factories Factories which were then turned against them in the cold war. Funny how that works. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1135 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-835 neat, those both sound like useful pursuits. but you said only one of them is compensated, which seems unfortunate to me because it forces you to split your attention between them. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1136 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── if you don't listen to the whole album, how are you going to get the whole message? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1137 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-852 Anger is quite a powerful and useful emotion. Sometimes you can utilize it toward achieving your goals, while other times it's simply sufficient to embody and feel it. When I seek to embody anger I listen to Green Day because it lights a fire in me that warms my internals ^_^ ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1138 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-855 AGI is the holy grail for the tech industry. You wouldn't fault a knight for questing! But the peasant or the merchant is hardly likely to drink from such a goblet, it is reserved for the hand of kings. Alas, that we couldn't find "holy thimbles" that could be distributed throughout the populace for the same effect at a decentralized scale, thus empowering the masses to transcend their mortality. Or better yet, task those knights with helping cats out of trees or carrying furniture or painting the old barn or carving statues for public places or performing great works of art in public squares or engaging in honorable jousts (everyone's invited) or traveling abroad and learning the ways of the world to share with their homeland. I dunno something less flashy but more "health care, housing, and climate change solutions"-y ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
