    @Copper said in The Trump Gaffe Thread: So it's probably safe to assume it has been digitally altered. If by 'digitally altered' you mean he's got his finger up his own arse, then yes, he's been digitally altered.

    @George-K said in Secret Flights: @Doctor-Phibes said in Secret Flights: Apparently they weren't exactly keeping it secret... No, not "secret." Just obscure. Had you heard of this before I posted it? Probably not. Did that link explain where this 1/5 of a million people went? Nope. It's pretty weird, I must admit. Well, the numbers surprised me, at least. The actual policy is probably well-intentioned. Immigration is messed up, and I haven't heard anybody come up with a genuine solution. There's an awful lot of theatre and moralising from both sides, but very little in the way of actual improvement.

    @jon-nyc said in Technofeudalism; Capitalism is Dead: He didn’t explain the concept at all in all those paragraphs. All he really said was “Zuckerberg and Musk are powerful” It was more about him than his ideas, which I sincerely hope are better fleshed out in his book

    The above example just reinforces my perception that probably 80% (at a minimum) of illegal immigrants to the US are doing it for economic reasons. And it is not just a US problem. in Bangkok, probably 50% of the staff in many restaurants are from Myanmar, Laos, or Cambodia that are (probably) working illegally. Same in the construction industry. And, there is a lot of Thai construction workers in Korea working illegally. In Thai, they are referred to as "little ghosts". Taiwan gets a lot of mainland Chinese working illegally. "Follow the money"

    Energy. I figured out fossil fuel so we multiplied faster than was naturally sustainable using only near real-time power from the Sun. After the fossil fuel cache is spent, we either exploit nuclear or revert to whatever the Sun can naturally support on Earth.

    My proudest moment as a dog owner came when we walked past the town hall in Foxborough and my dog took a dump right in front of a sign saying 'Vote here'

    He was a very familiar sight on British TV in the 70's in a number of different series, and somehow always somehow managed to appear cooler than pretty much everybody else, even when playing in Kidnapped, a TV- series adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel. RIP.
