It’s quite crazy to hear that the US is about to force UK and EU to buy more chlorinated chicken, and then hear that US will stop salmonela testing while negotiating this.

Good thing everyone diligently reads the T&A of Pool 3d before using it. You are reading every line of text before you hit agree, and then uninstall, right?

only around 40% of the tardigrades survived, but the researchers say this could improve with further refinement. Nevertheless, the study suggests that researchers could use this method to print microelectronics or sensors onto living tissue.

“This approach provides new insights into tardigrades’ resilience

The only thing that can kill tardigrades are tattoos.

$20k with some cargo for a car is pretty good. If you need a F150, then you’ll have to pay for one.

Children of Men (movie) made me realize/understand the great global despair that comes with human unsustainability.

Emigrating to internet friendly country is something I’d do in a week. I guess sharing someone else’s internet, or account identity is an option.

The expression is usually meant to limit speech and ambition.

Containers as cheap home starting points in US is also a function of this dynamic. No need to ship empty ones back to Asia.

To get a right wing replacement, duh.

I don’t like purity for purity’s sake, but maybe at 545% tariffs, this starts to be an out.

3d printing lugs for carbon fiber, bamboo, metal tubes and beams, and fitting in regular motors, electronics, bearings, belts is a good/best path to reduced BOM and high performance/value.

It’s been longstanding NK policy to reunite. The elections they won that caused US war was a reunification platform. Recent abandonment of that policy just reflects practicalities of a US puppet in South (who is now impeached, but same party replacement)

Stupid fat American gets his info from Seth Rogen movie. Katy Perry very popular there though.

It’s only been 80 years since country was artificially divided, and 70 years since US prevented democratic unification. I would be interested if OP/NK have access to SK culture/media. If they have the same words for computer and fax and email for example.

They definitely have to stop announcing tariffs effective in next few hours. Maybe a 2 year effective date announcement allows “progress” in US reindustrialization with CHIPS act type subsidies.

It’s not the tip of the shitberg, it’s the edge of the shittacane, Randy.

China’s desire for unification is not directly a threat. US sponsored divisiveness in Taiwan is meant to control Taiwanese into unreasonable acts. Current President is US puppet, but parliamentary majority is against suicide. Provoking the destruction of Taiwan (which US promises to do if it/Taiwan were to lose against China), comes from Taiwanese declaration of some kind.

China’s consistent copyright theft is not the USA’s choice.

These are 20 year old accusations. China today is innovating on its own.

Do not spout lies that portray china as innocent please.

You could have criticisms of China, and any other state. if the purpose of any criticism is to manufacture an enemy, then it is automatically disingenous, compared to a request for them to do better, and then instead of repeating 20 or 40 year old criticism, having a willingness to notice if the problem behaviour has ceased.

You’re suggesting that innocent vs guilty of your accusations deserves an enemy status. Is US guilty of worse? If so, you should help China overthrow US government. Most usually, hate comes before throwing any and all shit you can imagine against your hate target.

Trump complains about other nations VAT as a justification for original “reciprocal” tariffs. If US could export any significant manufacturing goods, implementing its own VAT would be a means of taxing consumption while giving exporters a bigger tax break than just manufacturers for domestic consumption.

If everything else deserves exemptions too, a VAT would be the same, and allow funding for more tax cuts for the rich that Trump says will also save America.

Enemy is entirely US’s choice. China did not deny PPE to US during covid, even if demand was larger than supply rates. Now that covid is over, PPE is imported from China again. National security can mean subsidies to allow factories to be ready to shift/ramp production, not because other nations have to be enemies, but because demand could skyrocket, and government could care about US lives. Manufacturing an enemy risks those lives.

US weapon systems rely on Chinese electronics to this day. Destroying US clean energy and EV sector will destroy domestic supply chain expansion, and retain Chinese dominance over US weapon systems, and future economy. A pure propaganda misinformation system for warmongering evil is no basis for progress or sustainability, or recognizing weaknesses that could have time to fix.

But war on China move I referred to was banning sales of US patent protected fab equipment, and advanced chips to China. That is the harm to western innovation that dooms it from loss of access to world’s largest electronic device market. Though in the long term, humanity will be benefitted from the competition from China. Just US stock market/companies will suffer from the policy.

Not only that - if you’re American - it’s straight up traitor talk. We already went through one civil war about the south trying to secede so they could continue slavery.

I understand that it destroys the empire, and warmongering interests are harmed. But, the tech bros are talking as if the government will give them the right to secede, and buy a tax haven inside the US. Trump has signaled that selling public lands is a win for America. Once you open that door, then selling existing counties to people who want to be free from warmongering empire is/“should be” allowed too. In addition to freedom projects bidding on the same plots of land.

Again, instead of seeing the freedom for free association, you just see the loss of fighting political war where 51% decides to oppress the divisive half into war, and 99% of elected politicians support Palestinian genocide, war on Iran, and a substantial portion of them, war on Russia and China. You need to be ruled by those who can buy support for these wars. DNC didn’t even fight voter suppression and vote rigging because Israel won with Trump. More voter suppression laws are being passed this week. Democracy in US is hopelessly broken, and the alternative to “the algorithm” in reverting it is to look at mainstream zionist media for revolution.

a wet dream for China & Russia

Like Netanyahu says, if we don’t genocide them all then Iran wins.

Unity is awesome, but unity for what matters. We need $10k more expensive cars for all Americans so that Pensylvania steel, and Michigan auto workers get cushy jobs, and Texas oil workers help destroy planet, and they all vote GOP harder?, is a deep strain on unity. $20k cheaper cars from China is a win for secessionists. The mentality of needing China to lose, is self harm programming.

The Tech bros specifically want a tech monarchy where each “country” is run by a CEO with absolute power that otherwise only responds to the board of directors (that, assumedly… the CEO picks). Poor or don’t like it? Get out and go to a different network state. If the fascist state even lets you leave.

My point is entirely that those projects will not be as successful as secessionism with liquid democracy and UBI. The opportunity to grant tech bros their fascist project is opportunity for us to be granted freedom projects. US democracy offers no hope whatsoever.

its down to 12%
