  I mean, there are software libraries that handle encryption for you.

  You still need to know what you are doing to use them correctly and not introduce vulnerabilities.

  Excess consumption of red meat is a cancer risk. And excess in this case is over about 100g per day. So even if it would be just beef from a country that doesn’t allow hormones and antibiotics to be used in meat production it would still be a risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks like meat's back on the menu!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then that leaves only the cancer caused by both.

  Doesn’t the penicillin grow at the same time as the milk solidifies?

  Not anymore, but I’m old now. They don’t have to take care of me any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA officially bankrupt (insolvent)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What countries do is not the same though. At least in the Netherlands when a company files for bankruptcy the judge will appoint someone to sell all the companies assets and try to pay back the debtors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm completely serious in all my posts and comments⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you sure you don’t mean short term vs long term punishment?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA officially bankrupt (insolvent)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t need to be a business to be able to go bankrupt. Governments have incomes, expenses and debtors. They only can’t file for bankruptcy to get out of their debts, which makes it worse for the country.

  Dragons

  Elections are expensive anyway. You either need to maintain thousands of computers or print millions of ballots (assuming nation wide elections in most countries). But the main cost is in the organization. You need to rent it places for the polling stations, set up the booths and the whole infrastructure around it. Security and people checking ID’s. Some of this will be done by volunteers in most countries, but that won’t cover all the costs. In the grand scheme of things I don’t thing electronic vs paper voting matters that much to the total cost of the elections.

  Technology will keep developing in ways we can’t predict yet. I think it’s unlikely we can save all our even most of humanity, but you never know what will happen. There is already research being done into options for geo engineering and the way things are going they will probably end up being tried. Even though that’s already technically possible to most people that would still be like magic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the age of electronics, when is go to vote can I request a paper ballot instead of a machine?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Elections require trust. A properly designed voting system can be understood by the average voter. That’s impossible with electronic voting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the age of electronics, when is go to vote can I request a paper ballot instead of a machine?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it is easier to attack papier voting systems. But these attacks don’t scale. This video by Tom Scott is 6 years old now, but every argument still stands. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LkH2r-sNjQs

  I made a statement about the past. No assumptions we made.

  Are you trying to say I shouldn’t hit myself in the face with a hammer?

  Thats right. Is wat more effective to sacrifice yourself to Bozmodiklax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember that we have technology that 100 years ago would have been indistinguishable from magic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the age of electronics, when is go to vote can I request a paper ballot instead of a machine?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on where you live. Civilized places still use paper ballots, because electronic ones are practically impossible to get verifiably trustworthy.

  Thanks, I was confusing it with Ankylosaurus

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally no help at all⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Armadillos are mammals, so probably more like convergent evolution and not an ancestor

  Demonologists are still more reliable than tiktok influencers

  Want it originally meant to teach kids about aquatic nature and top conserve nature? I haven’t seen much of the show, no idea him much they such to that.

  Just get some extra cash from an atm whenever you do groceries.

  Not according to Wikipedia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And of course there haven’t been any changes in european idiocy in the two hundred years since that happened. There also haven’t been any Americans coming back to return their brand of idiocy, which is why the are no mornings or scientologists in Europe right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A name more fitting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Julius Caesar was one of those dictators. He actually made a point of telling people “Non sum Rex, sed Caesar”. Caesar later became the title used for emperor in many languages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We have Christians and mysogynist idiots in Europe as well, so I doubt that explains the difference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A name more fitting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, his name is not julius, Paedophilus Caesar would be more fitting since he does want to be a dictator.
