- Comment on How much more progressive are European views as compared to progressives in America? 9 hours ago:
Europe is neither a country nor a single culture. The political spectrum isn’t the same between Portugal, Sweden, and Poland. Different histories lead to different culture and politics

Fungi are older than literal roots. The first land plants relied on them for nutrient exchange before evolving a radical system. My mind was blown away during a presentation by Dr. Toby Kiers about the latest research on mycorrhizal networks. They directly imaged nutrients moving both ways through those narrow filaments, through unknown mechanisms. www.spun.earth/networks/mycorrhizal-fungi

I don’t know who downvoted you, I came to say the same. Why post an AI video of a made-up product when asbestos filter cigarettes were a real thing?

Thank you. Every time someone says “The Economy™” as something that should drive policy instead of being an effect of it, I get a little twitch.

The “dark” side of the moon is a bit of a weird thing, both linguistically and for its tidally locked orbit ^^ The moon revolves around earth at the same speed it revolves around its axis. This “tidal locking” means that it is always showing the same “face” to the Earth, so that it doesn’t appear to be rotating from our perspective. timelapse showing the precession of the moon This doesn’t mean that one side is always dark and the other is exposed to the sun - just that instead of days, the moon has phases! So the situation of being “on the dark side of the moon” while the Earth is visible is not possible, but earthlight is very much a thing.

Just regular sunlight. The “night” sky might throw off your intuition, but no atmosphere = no sky

Anyone who says that he valued “open debate and the exchange of ideas” either had never actually listened to one of his “debates” or has no idea what healthy discourse looks like

- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 5 weeks ago:
Both comments are right. It is still a buggy, minimal alpha, but i would say in the last year or two it has become a somewhat enjoyable game rather than a tech demo you’d check a release every once in a while.
Development has consistently been a shitshow, but there really is nothing else like it.

If the internet actually enforced copyright to the letter of the law
Whose law? Whose enforcers? The Internet is fundamentally incompatible with traditional sovereignty and jurisdiction concepts

No. The problem is that that system was created and lobbied for literally by Disney and other big “IP holders” like music labels. That “while” after the holder’s death has been increasing to ridiculous levels. They are not getting special treatment by abusing the system, they’re changing the system to their rules.

What is “fair compensation”, in this case, for you? Does bringing joy to millions of people entitle you to more money or do you see the happiness you shared and subsequent fame as part of your “payment” - what you get out of it?
