Dear tech developers, if you are listening please put VR projects on the back burner. They are an interesting future technology but the currently possible technology that people would adopt if it were economical to do so is AR. A simple heads up display with an integrated personal assistant has enormous potential in both personal and business uses right now if it was reasonably priced and reliable. You could replace cell phones.
As long as they don’t kill the yeast it will age in the bottle. Distilled drinks don’t age in the bottle because their aging is due to their interactions with the casks they are aged in rather than the yeast cleaning up the byproducts from the initial fermentation.
To avoid price collapse and still sell it they could create a generic label to bottle it under and export it. They could probably sell it near the original price in the US with a good marketing campaign.
I would like y’all to assure me of two things. First, that neither Putin nor any of his successors are actually stupid enough to use nuclear weapons in any situation short of an existential threat because they understand MAD and recognize that using nuclear weapons would create an existential threat for them. Second, that neither Putin nor any of his successors are stupid enough to directly attack Poland or any other NATO or EU country because they recognize that they are outrageously outmatched in conventional warfare against NATO and even in their best case scenario (where China backs them and we wind up in a WWIII that somehow never turns nuclear) they still wind up with their government deposed and most of their country in ruin.
Yeah, it keeps getting bought up and turned into airbnbs.
Quick somebody find a way to link this to China so we can get the GOP to start yelling about limiting foreign investment in US real estate. With a little luck we might can wrangle this into something that will lower the cost of housing.
Also Russia has no experience advantage in dealing with their winter vs. Ukraine. Russian winter was an issue for France and Germany in large part because they didn’t understand what they were dealing with. It’s Ukraine’s home turf. They know what winter means for them and are prepared for it.
If something is amoral then it has no moral implications and is neither good or bad to do. If something is morally bad to do then it is immortal. It’s a common misuse and pointing it out may be a bit pedantic because choices with no moral implications are rarely considered or meaningful but I have to use my degree in applied ethics somehow.
In games that have gender based perks, like Agent of Dibella in Skyrim or LadyKiller/Black Widow in the Fallout games tend to be stronger for female characters because more of the NPC’s are male. This is more adding another reason than claiming that it’s the main reason. I don’t exclusively play either male or female but typically when I play a female character it’s because I’m building a character that is less physically aggressive. I know this is playing into stereotypes but sword and board tends to be male while stealth archer tends to be female.
