The US has already literary intentionally tried to starve the people of Cuba for decades and it’s accomplished nothing.

America’s cruelty in service of America’s incompetence really exposes what a sad, atrophied husk it’s become.

All empires collapse, at least others have managed to do so with dignity.

In North America I would guess coyote, in Europe, I would guess a fox or feral dog chased him until he found somewhere to hide from it.

Could also just be another cat. Big Tom cats have a tendency to chase other cats around.

That’s just arguing semantics on what evolution means.

Lol, no it’s not, Darwin has thoughts on precisely what evolution is:

Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.[1][2] It occurs when evolutionary processes such as genetic drift and natural selection act on genetic variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more or less common within a population over successive generations.[3] The process of evolution has given rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organisation.[4][5]

The scientific theory of evolution by natural selection was conceived independently by two British naturalists, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, in the mid-19th century as an explanation for why organisms are adapted to their physical and biological environments. The theory was first set out in detail in Darwin’s book On the Origin of Species.[6]

I meant a single individual living forever and morphing into a different species, which is what Sam Altman is talking about, not a whole species evolving into another across generations of individuals…

The first one has never happened and is the topic being discussed, the latter is irrelevant.

This isn’t really extinction in that sense. The author is being pedantic.

Extinction in the form of living forever and morphing into a different species is just not something we have a word for because it’s never happened before.

Lmfao.

No, it’s the US.

Trump is not an aberration, he is an exact representation of American values. He did not rise from a vacuum, he rose from decades of Americans blindly following Republicans to their doom.

You cannot say that he does not represent the US when he was voted into office on two non-consecutive turns.

America is a shit hole country, filled with shit hole people, who vote for shit hole representatives. There may be occasional flecks of not shit in there, but you’re just hollow husks of corns in a sea of shit.

Honestly, not at the scale of the US, but Cuba has cracked down on political prisoners and the corruption is sometimes extremely visible in Havana when you see the properties of the elite and government compared to those of everyone else.

The history of Cuba is another example of why America is such a piece of shit country.

Honestly, it must be fucking wildly embarassing that a tiny island, that America has used it’s full economic power to try and impoverish and starve to death for decades, has a comparable average lifespan and cancer survival rate, far better infant mortality rate, almost double the number of hospital beds per person, and an over 10% higher literacy rate.

Yes the Cuban government has corruption issues that cause the powerful to live rich unattainable lifestyles compared to the average worker, and issues with jailing people who don’t deserve it… Can anyone argue that America is any better in either of those regards though?

It would be interesting to see a filter of responses by country.

In my experience:

• Architecture / Eng / Construction Industry (Canada):
  • 8-5, summer hours, loosely enforced.
• Software Industry (Europe):
  • 9-5, several extra weeks of vacation, loosely enforced
• Software Industry (America):
  • 9-6, moderately enforced
• Software Industry (Canada):
  • 9-5, summer hours, loosely enforced

That being said, even with the shorter official working hours, I often end up working more than that. I may have a bunch of 6 or 7 hour days, but will also have a bunch of 16 hour days when things are hectic.

Yeah, no one in here is claiming they know 100% who did it.

But it would make sense if SK did. They have the motivation and potentially the means.

That’s what Spain’s investigation thought was most likely

Honestly, this just exposes how bad the author is at math.

Like congratulations, you’ve heard of a linear trend line, surely all systems can be modelled with nothing more than an unchanging straight line right?

I hope nothing but the worst for Tesla, but this kind of guffawing at the most basic possible extrapolation just makes the author look dumb.

To prevent the literal unpredictable madman neighbour with a mortal vendetta against you from getting a nuclear reactor.

Also, Russia already has super cavitating torpedoes, and there’s not necessarily that much to learn from their pieces after impact.

Not saying a limpet mine isn’t likely, but this also feels like exactly why SK is developing those torpedoes.

1. the article is a year old, so those statements were made at least a year ago, 2) militaries aren’t always super up front about their weapons programs timelines 3) the statement specifically said that even though it was “2/3” of the way through development, it had been tested. How do you know this wasn’t the test?

It could have been Ukraine, but Ukraine does not have super cavitating torpedoes, so if that’s the case the reporting on those and the shape charges must be wrong.

Let me just leave this here:

South Korea’s ADD showcases new Supercavitating Torpedo at MADEX 2025

ADD said that the development of this supercavitating torpedo is currently about two-thirds complete, and that after further maturing the torpedo’s stabilization control technology, it will finally secure the design and testing technology of the test body.

…The MRXUUV (Mission Reconfigurable eXtra-large Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) currently under development by ADD could serve as testbed.

According to an interview with the ADD chief researcher, the supercavitating torpedo displayed at MADEX 2025 is an actual tested torpedo, designed in size to fit in a UUV, capable of being guided (in the initial phase of the launch, at low speed), and is being developed to sink enemy main surface ships with ultra-high-speed kinetic energy without a warhead.

The publicly released timeline doesn’t line up, but the motivations do.

I mean sure, but that’s an argument against where you locate data centres, not necessarily to stop them entirely. i.e. evaporating that water is a problem in a region that’s already over populated and doesn’t have enough water

It doesn’t just disappear. It falls back to the ground.

The danger of an over simplified model.

A joint and a pipe are very similar.

A bong is the same thing but you can smoke way more at once so it hits you harder and faster.

A blunt is basically a giant joint but it’s wrapped in tobacco paper so you get a little extra tobacco buzz alongside the weed.

The biggest difference with edibles is that because you eat them and they have to go through your digestive system (rather than through your lungs), there’s like a 45m delay before you feel anything. That means is really easy to eat some, think ‘i don’t feel anything, I should double up my dose’ and then get way too high.

That being said there is also evidence that when cannabis is processed through the digestive system there are enzymes that turn them into different cannabinoids, so you edibles probably do genuinely produce a slightly different high
