Are you sure you didn’t enter the machine yourself?

You need good quality metal to make precise clockwork. You need to be able to make those metals.

That’s a whole lot of culture right there!

Marx didn’t anticipate information technology. Because of IT, we are moving to a new regime of humanity. The automation of action is part of the reason, but the most important is the ability of any group of people to communicate. The control of broadcast underpins the prior structures of power. Now, anyone can reach everyone, and we are watching the power of the state erode in the rise of fascism globally.

Yes.

It was fairly fragmented but hardly a whole lot of nothing.

If your start time has a 4 hour swing, how could you just look up your local time and make a choice to call?

Just coordinate via asynchronous communication to schedule a time. It’s not 1935.

You: “hey uncle text me when it would be a good time to have a call”

6 hours later

Uncle: “hey i just got up, lets have a call at 4:50”

You: “thats a bid late for me, im in bed by 4:00, what about 3:30?”

Uncle: “sure sounds great”

No one needed to know anything about when people wake up, where on earth they live, etc.

Exactly, it always requires knowing your uncles habits.

No, timezones don’t make sense everywhere, you clearly have not lived on the edge of timezones where the shift from what would be local time is notable.

Yeah, which makes the points, it’s non trivial to know when to contact people with timezones anyways. The time zone only adds more complexity.

There is no hell, and that is the problem; those fighting believe in it.

Oh, so good news, the blood fugue is close to an end. I was worried this would get worse. /s

Yes, when you are in the northern hemisphere, a sundial shadow falls to the north of the gnomon (the thing that makes a shadow). This makes the shadow move from the northwest to north to northeast over a day, which is clockwise. In the southern hemisphere, the shadow from the gnomon falls to the south, so it starts in the southwest and moves to the south and then southeast, which is anticlockwise.

The most obvious way to see this is the photo of the sundial in Perth, where the hours run anticlockwise.

But keeping supply low is more profitable. There isnt going to be an expansion of housing without a change in the rules of the game.

Big yes to the scam that is liberal democracy. One terrible use of libs calling things democracy when they aren’t is blanketly condemning everyone in some place bc someone got elected: Russia and every red state in the USA. These places are full of people who do not support the government and had no real chance of electing real representation nor would those elected officals really be useful.

If the wisdoms are wrong or sub optimal, but the followers treat them as dogmatic then its an issue.

Industrial applications, but you dont need good ones for that.

A bad quarter isn’t what this is about. It’s about the idea that constant percentage growth is good or realistic. Any stock with flat growth over a decade will not be a good long-term investment. Your comment proves the point here.

It’s certainly not the majority.
