If Europeans wouldn’t sleep on this opportunity, we could massively improve our science recruiting. Related scientific paper of what getting the fired scientists from an autocracy can do to your science system: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257%2Faer.104.10.3222
Upgraded every old MacBook (2009pro, 2015 pro) I had with bigger harddrives and did small repairs with ifixit instructions. But you notice they get less repairable over time. The 2009 thing was built like a tank and you could upgrade ram, replace a broken GPU and this thing over all felt very repairable. I still works but isn’t that useful any more 16 years after release. 2015 was way less repairable.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (also had a decent tie-in point and click adventure game in 1989)
Depends. How comes there are no monarchies in Austria an Germany anymore and Czechia, Slowakia, Serbia, Slovenia and so on are independent countries not ruled by a decadent vienese Empire
But now he sleeps in a racing car
Temporarily for a month for Canada and Mexico. China has new tariffs
Completely agree. Especially less good architects couldn’t deal with it’s limitations. Concrete isn’t some indestructible wonder material—exposure to harsh weather and exhaust fumes leads to cracking, corrosion, and a dreary look if it isn’t properly engineered and maintained. So many old concrete buildings look shitty
Basically appointing an investigator for fentanyl smuggling for Canada and sending troops to the northern border for Mexico.
Correction I copypasted the wrong new testament verse reference from a large collection on things the bible had to say on strangers. Both are old testament, but the list is long and very clear in the new testament too.
Oh the old testament is quite clear: Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
Jeremiah 22:30
And the new is no different:
You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Matthew 25:40
Now, if the Americans are being too obnoxious with us Europeans about tariffs or Greenland, we only need to resort to the classic European strategy of gifting them a smallpox infested blanket to deal with the Americans.
Na, that is just historically inaccurate. The original Macintosh team collected their stories/memoires at folklore.org, which give you a pretty good overview of his talents. He was really mercurial and Woz was the better engineer, but played a really important role in the vision/design of computers as we know them today. In the original Mac team others did the engineering and Jobs never claimed to be and engineering type of person, but he had a good feel on the importance of design, clear visual metaphors and good interaction design and pushed the team relentlessly into that direction.
