Oh hello there

It's not a scam, it's a particularly virile simulacrum in an age of simulacra. It's not like the "proper' financial assets are that much more grounded. The Western manosphere meanwhile is just into all things alternative, and crypto used to be it before the regulators clamped down on it in the late 2010s - early 2020s. Now most if not all exit-entry points to the cryptosphere are under proper AML/CTF surveillance. As always, these guys are behind the times.

Meh, I'm just thankful the hard plastic shell cracked and made it obvious. I remember how my Lenovo Y70 surprised me and I didn't notice it until I was really far down the danger zone. Also, screw MSI for making the battery unremovable without a disassembly. Really worried about my current race horse...

Depends on the design of NTR's fuel elements, but solid-core engines generally don't leak radioactivity and I don't think helium can be neutron-activated... So the biggest damage will come from the carbon footprint of natural gas extracted to scavenge this much helium from it.

So, while we're on that topic

@SunlitZelkova, anthropology is probably irreversibly tainted by the fact that too many anthorpologists project not just their biases, but also their political preferences onto their studies. Cases of entire tribes being invented wholecloth to buttress a point are not uncommon. Because of that, I prefer not to use those comparisons. I'd generalize that to sophisticated societies in general. Money is just one way of managing the complexity needed for the division of labor and geographic distribution. Wealth making you happy isn't a "fantasy"; originally, a certain level of wealth - generally not monetary wealth but rent-generating assets - served to support and secure a certain lifestyle. The rigid hierarchy of society until recently served to moderate the expectations of said lifestyle, and so the overwhelming majority of individuals did not aspire to something completely out of their grasp. This really, really slowed down wealth accumulation, and people did not engage in back-breaking labor when they could. In comes the "Protestant work ethic". In order to combat the amassment of wealth by the Catholic Church, Protestantism in all its many forms generally rejects salvation through works and instead declares work to be man's purpose on Earth. And the measure of work is wealth. "Wealth makes you happy" is an attempt to obfuscate a far uglier claim: your sole purpose of existence is to make money, make money, make money, make money. The rat race now has no finish line, the crab bucket effect seems to express itself as inflation, which denies the ability for anyone to "comfortably retire". The "Protestant work ethic" has turbocharged the global economy and scientific progress immensely, but the fallout is clear to see. On the contrary, familiarity breeds contempt like you wouldn't believe. Also, your agency-denying model inevitably arrives to the conclusion that the world can only be saved by a good shepherd who'd guide these sheeple to the correct values. Never a good plan... Almost all of my current leanings and opinions are the polar opposite of the teachings and the zeitgeist I would be "indoctrinated" into in the late 1990s and the 2000s.

As well as "History of Russian Diolomacy" (right), "The Empire in Color" (Prokudin-Gorsky's photo album, left) and ok the table on front of him is... something titlted "Sauron".

His inner circle apparently had. There was a whole bunch of young Svetlanas there all of a sudden.

Svetlana is a name made up wholecloth in the early 1810s by several popular Russian authors. Because of this, attempts to give it to newborns would, for the longest time, be opposed by the Orthodox Church. Then a certain moustached man picked this name for his daughter, and the popularity of the name really got out of hand.

Wait a second, I forgot I also had this. "Man's desire to have a shed"

Everybody will come to the cope shed in the end... Note the Kontakt-1 armor on the glacis in addition to ARAT the Abrams was shipped with. https://metinvest.media/ua/page/pdhodyat-dlya-tankv-abrams-staleviy-front-rozpochav-vipusk-dlya-zsu-stalevih-ekranv-protid-fpv-dronam

There's also the anecdotal overrepresentation of Mormons at NASA and in sci-fi. Some have argued that the Space Race was basically cosmists vs Mormons, but I doubt they've cared to include a certain von Braun.

Batteries + magnesium hull + heat Oh, great... (yes, I've just had a Huawei powerbank bloat on me, I'm hypercautious about batteries now)

It's either an impossibility - such a civilization would be cannibalized by more "grass-touching" neighbors - or it's already happened in industrial and early post-industrial societies, because the basic skills for subsistence survival have already been lost, and the ability to fend for oneself is almost counterproductive because what's needed is a reliable cog in the machine.

We are arguably already at this point due to the sheer expansion of science and the complexity of the technology involved - the era of Big Science. Before the semi-conductor, perhaps even in the early Atomic Age, most of the science we relied on could be demonstrated over the course of classroom physics and chemistry experiments and field trips. Today, much of the science we rely on in daily lives has to be accepted as dogma because it realistically cannot be tested when in doubt - much of it will be just appeals to authority all the way down.

That's cheating. It only works if it's a link that makes Disposal Squad play in your mind.

Czech this out

Yak-24 began as just two sets of Mi-4 engines and rotorss with a new hull and gearbox. Although it had a completely casualty-free service life, it was notorious for vibration at high speeds, to the point where air controllers complained that the pilots slurred their words beyound legibility.

Apparently the official press-release meant the subesats. Only one major payload now confirmed, Kosmos 2576, and it's co-planar with USA 314, causing quite the stir in the American media. Hendrickx has now revised his guess to a Nivelir or Nivelir Mk2 (14F168).
