Well, once someone converted it to dollars and started comparing it to costs in the US, it kind of opened the topic, don’t you think?
Also, according to both the link you provided and the income inequality page by country, the US and Russia are on par; they both have Gini coefficients of 85-90, and PIP (poverty & inequality plaform) indexes in the 35-40 range.
Which metric did you see that says Russia’s wealth inequality is worse than the US’s?
They were absolutely having sporadic outages a few days ago, but they’ve been Ok recently.
No, this is a specific configuration Midwest.social has enabled. It actually modifies posts and replaces external image links with proxies through the Midwest.social server. It results in really slow image serving in posts, and frequently outright breaks images. The server is also not correctly configured for mime types, so SVGs aren’t served properly: even if the origin has the right mime-type, the forced proxy breaks the mime-type. So I can’t embed SVGs on this account.
I appreciate the service, but I’m really going to have to abandon this account. The comment modification and hijacking of image links doesn’t feel right.
I have no idea! It seems to be the human material. Have you ever heard of a solution? I can be aware of it and resist it, but what I hate is that instinctive, negative impulse, and I don’t think wishing it away is going to help.
I’d love to watch it once, but Imgur blocks VPNs.
There isn’t a massive disparity between the wealthiest and poorest in the US?
Not that kind of “use!”
That’s… a big gap. I think I’d just be confused all the time if I had to switch between them.
I’m lucky. I live in a place where stonecrop is native, and it grows like a weed. Except it doesn’t spread (quickly), and I love the look.
We had some landscaping done and they moved some stonecrop and forgot to move one back. it wasn’t even planted; it just grew right there where they’d left it!
Great plants.
No.
Devonian all the way, baby. Gimme some deep-fried, breaded dunkleosteus!
Also, biological monsters would overheat very fast.
That’s why they tend to breath fire n stuff.
Old Godzilla movies got it right. He did look like he was walking on the moon. Not bouncing, but he probably had atrophied muscles from being in the water all the time.
Poor guy. Overheated and tired, no wonder he was grumpy!
Sometimes it do be like that
That’s brilliant. The thumbnail spoils it… at least, it shows me the punchline.
I don’t know why; it just popped into my head. Maybe because the float would just make snacking easier for the sharks?
Edit: because my home server insists on rewriting all image URLs to proxy requests through that server, and it often breaks things. I gotta re-home.
LOL. Op walks around town, leaking Razrs and building their own mesh network.
I know my limitations. One of them is patience.
Ok, so preface: this isn’t about you. Your comment just coalesced something I’ve been ruminating about recently.
I wish we, as humans, didn’t have this knee-jerk tenancy to make everything a zero-sum competition. Vi vs EMACS. x86 vs ARM. Windows vs Mac vs Linux vs FreeBSD. C vs Go vs Rust vs Clojure vs JavaScript. Arch vs the world.
It really is a zero-sum game, with real consequences. If your favorite distro becomes unpopular enough, it might die, and then you have to give up something you love. Windows winning the OS market for decades meant countless people had to suffer using Windows because the company they worked for mandated it. If I crusade for V(lang) enough, it might become popular enough for jobs to open for it.
The downside is that we’re constantly fighting against diversity, and that’s bad.
I suffer from this as much as anyone, and I hate that my first impulse is to either tear down “the opposition”, which at some point is nearly everyone, or schadenfreude.
“It is not enough that I succeed, but that others should fail.” It can’t be healthy.
I miss the days when every package came with a man page.
Every respectable package; don’t come at me, pendants.
15mph is certainly reasonable, and not “as fast as a car.” A parked car, maybe, which in city traffic may feel the same.
But yeah, 15 is reasonable; humans can run that fast. Sharing a bike lane with a motorized bike going 25 is where it starts feeling dangerous, and where it starts to be in car range.
Thanks for pointing that out.
