The French will never agree.

Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.

They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, “Fuck with us and we will end you.”

Yes. And 75% of car driver believe they are above average as well…

Capitalism also needs a functioning environment to continue…

Well, at least the front hasn’t fallen off.

This isn’t a science post, it’s a political agenda post.

It must be awful to live in a place where scientific study into human well being is political.

It sounds like some undeveloped country where you can’t drink the tap water.

you eat dog shit?

You don’t notice when you step in dog shit?

No but only because I stopped using google search years ago.

It has been getting worse for the last decade.

Still worthy of pity

Not from me. They are adults, they made their bed. Their children are the real victims.

To be happy at other people’s misfortune is not ok.

I honestly don’t think this applies here. This is a direct result of their own actions. No one forced them.

To me this is a case of: You reap what you sow.

Not really. Just that consciousness is an incredibly complex thing that we don’t really understand.

Dissociation as a side effect of a medication I was on.

It is really hard to describe. It was as if I was a passenger within my own body and mind. I was watching myself do and say things with no feeling of presence or control.

Why is the British empire so aggressively hated right now?

You communicate in English, so the British empire will be the focus.

The colonies we had were far better treated than most colonies of the era, or ever to be honest.

Reads early Aus convict history and the extermination of the Aboriginal people. … Are you fucking delusional?

If you want to educate yourself on the subject I suggest reading The Fatal Shore and Aboriginal wars:

New book reveals sophistication of Indigenous tactics during frontier wars

The killing times: Australia’s map of frontier war massacres updated

We didn’t rape and pillage as much as everybody else so we were the GOOD GUYS!!

You are not to blame for the actions of past members and of the society you live in but to hand wave away the historical reality of colonialism is not helpful in any way.

Yes, every people’s history is filled with this shit, that does not make it better.

The battle scenes are a direct ww2 rip off. (Ships in space having dog fights and flying like planes in atmosphere.)

The story takes many elements from Dune.

No, because the acetic acid (vinegar) will have evaporated as well. It will be slightly stronger but not 20%

Acetic acid boils at ~120 C so less of it will have evaporated than the water but it will still evaporate as well.

I know, I have seen them.

I was sysadmin for a Bankruptcy and Insolvency Firm for more than a decade and walked into 100s of businesses on the point of failure. Many of them could not be saved simply because their systems were so bad it was better for a buyer to buy their equipment and start with a clean sheet.

The ice cream business was going under because the partner who had been the access self starter had an argument with the others and had walked out 18months ago.

The access system ran the entire business (accounting and wages were on other programs but the db feed them data) and he was the only one who had any idea.

Shit started to go wrong and they had no idea what to do.

I believe you. I can even guess the story.

In the late 80s/early 90s a staff member (self taught in office/access) quickly threw together something at the request of a manager as a stop gap wile a new proper system was specked out.

The person learned as they went and the system grew in functionality and complexity until the term spaghetti code was a massive understatement. It became their job.

The new proper system never arrived and they have been making do for the past 30-40 years.

I ran into the same thing a decade or so ago and it was a nightmare, but it was just an ice cream franchise, not prison related

The prisoner transport system ran on MS access lol

This is just…Well, if you wrote a prison escape movie that involved accessing an Access DB to reroute a transport you would be laughed at.
