That one was on purpose:

In the book, just like in the movie, Spearchucker reveals that the nickname “Spearchucker”, ordinarily a racial slur, referred in this case to his javelin-throwing prowess.

They use the racism behind his nickname to address racism:

The film also depicts Spearchucker as a particularly skilled neurosurgeon and this, together with the experience of playing football together, helps Duke Forrest overcome his racial prejudices and the two become friends at the end, shaking hands when it is time for Duke to go back stateside.

Other red states have alreaddy gerrymanded several seats, so it should kick in anyway. It has a built in reset in 2028, so it already has enough contingency in it to undue its ugly neccesity.

Worth waiting for reviews. The last DLC was a clown show for months.

Its your hypothectical man. I’ve told you the community will need to come to a consensus on how they handle violence. Thats the only answer I can give if you wont give me the details above.

Id be glad to. Just tell me the name of everyone in the society, their general roles in different social situations, their agreed on laws and rules, and their specific stance on violence and how they want to respond to it.

Once you do, I can answer your very specific questions about a hypothetical community that doesnt currently exist and hasent been defined by any of the people in it.

Sure. You try to head off the behavior before it gets there by ensuring basic needs are met for all and through social tools like shunning and group dynamics.

Your scenario springs up whole clothe without the above, so I would offer the following for it : Jail, exile, death. The order depends on the people involved in the society they created.

Being an anarchist doesn’t mean you lack the current tools we use, it means you dont have to use them, or at least you dont have to reach for them first.

Thats pure Qanon mainlining. Your friend is literally in a cult.

Anarchy would shun them from social systems until they made appropriate reperations. They might be jailed, they might be exiled, they might just be cut off from all but basic food/services/etc.

There are law enforcement answers in anarchist societies that aren’t “have cops.”

Youre wrong until youre not.

Why not use file versioning on either device folder in syncthing to ensure you retain copies of deleted files? The “simple” setting will retain the last 5-10 versions of any file.

I’d also recommend backing up your data outside of the sync service once a day or whatever interval makes sense to you. That way a wayword sync, even with safeguards, cant really destroy the data.

We got a West North Carolina now? Fancy.

When are we getting East North Carolina, South North Carolina, or the holy grail, West East South North Carolina?

Your link shows that they are nowhere near finishing production on their first SMR reactor, much less starting the other 3. They vaguely point to the first one being done by “the end of 2030.”

  When will the SMRs start producing power?								

Our planning goal is to complete construction of the first SMR by the end of this decade, and connect to the grid by the end of 2030.

Thats 5 years away, at best.

Ontario is going to scale to 4 reactors at $20B total, still much less than classic reactor designs, and they can be maintained easier and cheaper.

$20.9B is their estimate, not 20B. That stll seems high for the 1.2MW total output at all 4 plants listed in your artice. The Georgia Vogtle plants, the most recently built nuclear plants in the US, are each 1.2MW. They had drastic delays and cost overuns, but were still about $17B each. Is SMR somehow more expensive than older reactors per watt?

Even that $21B might be low. They hope it costs $21B total, and they hope it can be maintained easier and cheaper. Most nuclear projects vastly overun their cost estimates, and while SMRs are nominally supposed to be designed to mitigate that, this is the first production one ever built.

Lastly, Ontario is a huge oil and gas producer and has come out hard against solar/wind energy usage. They have pushed nuclear as the only viable green path for power generation. These SMR plants are being stood up partially as a way to justify blocking solar farms and wind turbines, which can undermine Oil and gas interests with inexpensive, proven technologies. Realize ontario’s goverments marketing/estimates/etc are based on politcal goals, not neutral assesments of the technologies viabiltiy.

I personally hope they succeed, but so far every SMR project has been overloaded with hype thats manically used to cover up repeated failures. When they get their plant online and working safely at the projected cost, then we will have another great renewable energy source at hand. Until then, its hype and hype alone.

That and brand loyalty. If shopping was just api based, you could have your ai agent just buy X product from wherever when the price was right and never care about the company or marketing or anything.

It would be hugely empowering to be able to make a non website based shopping list and just have “something” sort out all the logistics, biased towards reducing your costs and inconvience, but that is never going to be what even the ai companies are selling. They will funnel you to their “prefered partners” and find every possible way to extract money and attention in the process.

Costco sells gold now, just as a heads up.

A full reverse sear, nice. I think leaving it unconvered overnight is a bit much, as it will form a pellicle, a tacky outer layer. This is good for smoking, but pretty overkill for an everyday steak. Kenji does go hard though.

Honestly just salting, adding to a 250f oven/toaster oven for 20-25 min, then finishing off in a pan for less than a minute on each side is excellent, and doesnt involve waiting a day.

Crowdsec is absolutetly the way to go. Just be aware you need the engine and what they call a “bouncer” both running, but they have easy instructions about how to install both.

You could also just buy a simple physical asset, like gold or silver.

I randomly kept my orange box case as a memento and found it recently. Lets find out if i can mod the steam machine to fit inside of it.

Dont get mad at him for doing it better.

Him brashly showing naked pictures of her to people in front of her was sexual assault, meant to damage her mind/emotions/social connections.

Why are you only interested in the damage done to his body, and not the damage done to her life?

Why is her “option of last resort” use of violence not okay when ever other attempt failed to protect her? How else can she protect herself when literally everyone else refused to?
