Fair turnaround.
It’s a stupid political label as long as our nastiest friends are worse than our nicest enemies. Nobody’s about to declare Saudi anything terroristic regardless of how many get chopped up, for example.

The American message is designed to get the Lebanese-based Shiite militia to back down and de-escalate the brewing crisis along the Israeli-Lebanese border, a person familiar with the discussions said.
I’m not quite sure that’s the right approach. It discourages brinkmanship, but also encourages them and Iran to go all-in since broader Israeli action is coming either way. Y’know, the way Iran didn’t with that rocket exchange, because the US seemed present and reasonable enough to negotiate with.
Per that study, anyway. I expect it differs quite a bit across industries, for one thing.
Greece gonna Greece, I guess.
That’s interesting. A shorter week is the way things are trending, and seems to mostly offset the loss of total productivity with better productivity-per-time. I wonder if this will actually help anything.
I don’t think that quantum physics is quite right, but the gist probably* is. Any finite system can have it’s states enumerated on a table. I’d think you’d need to calculate configurations over all of space-time at compile time, and then look up answers by boundary condition.
Interestingly, MIP*=RE from quantum complexity theory implies tangibly infinite quantum states could exist. It’s not clear if real physics has that particular feature, though. If it does no finite lookup table will do the job, even approximately.
There’s no way the US is going to surprise invade, if that’s the hidden question-headline here.
Good for you. You’re a counterexample then, I acknowledge that.
I mean… are we gatekeeping farms now?
Kind of. I’m not saying that’s bad, but it’s not quite the same thing. People I’ve met like that are really just rich retirees who want the cachet of being “farmers”. If you successfully do subsistence that’s not you.
The farmers where I live have got to be the most gatekeepy group I’ve ever met, BTW. I’m from a non-farming branch of an established farming family, and I get the cold shoulder - in general, not just on agricultural things.
though chickens are in the cards for next year
Do it. I had a backyard flock, they’re pretty easy to manage on small scales, they’ll eat many kinds of scraps and pests as a supplement, and they make more eggs than you personally can use very quickly. Do your homework first, of course, but it sounds like you get that. Honestly the most difficult part is keeping away predators, if they’re in the area.
The best case scenario for being commercially successful in that way would be to network with chefs in the bigger cities
And when people make the bespoke-organic thing work, aggressive and skilled networking/sales is how they do it. It’s just a really difficult, expensive way to make food, and people aren’t going to appreciate that for the exact reason they think it’s NBD as a career plan B. If you want to sell that stuff and make a profit you’ve got to be selling something else more intangible.
In Japan it might be different, though. I can’t say.
The local government says I am, in any case (buying registered farmland in Japan is a process, lemme tell ya).
I bet. I’m guessing you must be ethnically Japanese for it to even be possible. If not, I can only imagine the local scuttlebutt going on about you.
Honestly when I imagine someone in IT getting into farming, I imagine this. It’s really an acreage with a garden and some animals, but they call it a farm, and aren’t really interested in the actual farms.
That, or they do a hipster-bespoke-organic goat farm, which lasts a few years before they run it into the ground because they’re expecting it to be easy or work like IT. To anyone reading this, I would urge you to explore a significant but less radical change first - there’s plenty of jobs not like coding.
Okay, maybe not simple. Repetitive, though. I see you guys driving back and forth across a field all day.
With predictability I meant more like you have no idea when it will be wet or dry (for example), and everything depends on that. Sometimes you have to work hard pretty much as long as the sun is up, or at least that’s how it was in my family’s farming days. They would even eat on their tractors while they kept going. Other times it’s too muddy to do anything.
I don’t know about that, but it’s not a “free lunch” and it’s not the same as just looking at pretty scenery.
From a North American perspective, besides the absurd entry cost, it seems fairly similar to a being a long-haul truck driver or plumber. Simple, repetitive work that doesn’t follow any predictable schedule. Physical arduousness depends on what you’re growing and if you’re going to hire scared brown people to do it for you.
You also get to live in an area that’s close to nothing, surrounded by neighbors that think you’re an elitist city prick and will never respect you.
He remembers the before-times!
I downvoted, now you’re doing Holocaust inversion.
Like, yeah, most people want to live in peace, Jews and Arabs alike. This guy is literally quoting Hitler as a guy who had the right worldview, so not him.
Yeah, his take seems to be “Hitler was right, races can’t coexist, if only he had been Jewish” from that quote.
Man, they’re really trying to copy off of Russia’s homework. Why?
His MAD is about as strong as it needs to be. That wouldn’t appreciably change the situation, so he probably wouldn’t do it, and if he did the only issue would be a bit of proliferation.
I’m guessing the primary motive to send their ship in the first place was to be seen sticking it to the West somehow, domestically. The West itself won’t care.
I wouldn’t worry. This is the bookkeeping of naval deterrence. Neither side expects to actually fire.
There is no comparison to the Cuban Missile Crisis, except that Cuba and the navies are somehow involved.
When someone says this, I’m never sure which way they’re going to want it shifted. Even in this case, I’m like 80% sure “US allies” would be more pro-Palestine but not 100%.
I mean, they didn’t have zero role in it.
