Especially then. How would the ancients in India know that South America even exists? It floods in India, story develops. It floods 300 years later in South America, story develops. For all they knew, it was the whole world that flooded. They could not check back, whether it flooded on different continents.

I think the assembling is the crucial part as you stated. I mean, buttons can also be manufactured in scale by a robot, but every button needs to be wired, the touchscreen only once.

Well, concerning the floods: flooding is still really bad and usually affects a huge area. Normally it is not like one village floods and everybody dies and the next village is completely fine. So, for people who do not get around a lot it might feel like the whole world was flooded. Then maybe they hit a few bad years in a row, and BAM, God or somebody wants to punish humanity story confirmed.

As I was thinking of getting a vasectomy, you got me curious. But it is still in clinical trials according to Wikipedia

For the animal trials: we could cut them down by a lot, but experimenting on tissue is not the same as on a full body and its complex system.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Tells you everything you need to know about war. First book which made me cry. Everybody should read it.

Requiem for a Dream

When I was starting to hit puberty, my mother got a severe depression, culminating in a suicide attempt. I remember her for the following ten-ish years as just sitting on her chair and reading or in her bed. When she managed to have a shower, it was a great day for her.

My father managed it all. Still had his taxing job, but now doing all the household, cooking, raising the kids and being supportive for my mother. He was there as father, as provider, as a husband. Eventually my mother was healing and back to her former, energetic self.

I don’t know how my father did it, honestly. My wife and I are struggling with managing our two children as is, if my wife were out of the equation I’d collapse immediately. Granted, my sister and I were a lot older than my kids are now, when shit hit the fan, but still…crazy impressive.

So yeah, basically he is a role model in perseverance and a lot of other things.

Yep, it does. But then again it is in line with how copyright works today: I can draw a Mickey Mouse comic for my child as much as I want, I cannot publish it.

And most parents would not have the time anyway to cut out “all the children’s books”. I love how I could create one that my daughter wished for for her birthday, but it is not a serious dent into our book spendings or library rentals.

I would love to see regulation, that any contet created by AI cannot be used commercially.

I love e.g. that parents can make their own children books, but nobody should profit from all the stolen work of artists.

I find the thought hilarious, that the UK just switched their entire soil for PV and are like “why do we get only 9 GW out of it 😭?”, like ☁️☁️☁️🌧️

I love how Article 3 of the declaration of human rights says

Everyone has the right to life

and then states just kill people. Like, why did we even bother to write it down?

At a friend’s wedding. He is known for being clumsy. Literally 30 seconds out of church after the ceremony. He shows off the ring, just hear a cartoonish pling pling and the ring rolls straight down the street drain in slow-mo. Next 30 minutes are spent recovering the ring, people in suits and dresses digging through the gutter XD

Years ago I tried Snipe IT. As your examples seem to be focused on household and grocery stuff, Snipe IT might be overkill, but according to documentation it supports SAML at least.
