- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 1 week ago:
With the arrival of near infinite phonebooks, the drive and know-how to remember 100s of phone numbers is lost to humanity.
Passwords present added complexity to those of phone numbers. On top of a name to number (allowing a few collisions) passwords are required to be of certain length, contain an upper case letter, lower case letter, number, special character, and more importantly, a preset lifetime.
Password managers seem to be a safer and low stress bet for the vast majority. There will always a few exceptions who can do it all in their head. They don’t tend to advertise their presence.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 1 week ago:
Coming at it backwards
Jackie Chan was a martial artist who fought (on screen) his way into the film industry. Hard to imagine Keanu Reeves becoming a martial artist anywhere near the caliber of Jackie Chan’s
There are obviously those like Gary Oldman, who, unless you paid close attention to the credits list, won’t be able to tell that he worked in the Fifth Element, Harry Potter, and the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. Did he learn new skills for the movies he worked in? Most likely yes. Does he retain those skills? Only as much as he practices them or else like in all of us, I’d wager that those skills atrophied away from the moment respective films wrapped up shooting.
If anything, those skills look more like accessories to the critical job of acting on screen.

Probably simple, whilst incredibly difficult. We can begin with removing
by-productsandside effectsand every last synonym of the two from our vocabulary.Coal and gas energy comes with green house gases which we conveniently called side effects and ignored. Only those side effects have grown exponentially to haunt us.
Nuclear energy comes with the question of nuclear waste.
No idea about what solar panels and wind turbines come with.
Every energy generation endeavour is an all or none, take it or leave it deal. Unless our culture accepts this, incredibly difficult.
Incredibly difficult because every listed business is required by law to grow at all costs and deliver profits and growths to the shareholders. Who has the backbone to put a strict speed limit on profits and growths? How do we police the speeds of business growths? Or how and where do we start?
More incredibly difficult because of sustained campaigns such as
individual carbon footprintwith backing from some of the deepest pockets.While on the topic of side effects and by products, another huge elephant in the room is the agriculture industry. I think we can leave it for another discussion.
