I’m in France in a small village but I’m quite lucky with the doctor situation.
If I’m sick I go online, see what shot is available for my doctor and book it, usually in the best few days. If it’s urgent I can call or go there and I’ll usually get an appointment during the day with my doctor or one of the other two doctors working there.
Then I walk there since it’s 400m away.
I disagree, using Latin terms means that all technical terms stay the same across languages.
Twizzlers.
I tried them in the US and it just felt like I was chewing on a piece of plastic.
On the other hand, unlike most of the people in the comments, I love licorice.
I did an internship in an office where the company was keeping the fridge and cupboard in the rest area filled with snacks, drinks, ice cream, frozen pizza and premade meals for people who wanted to take lunch there.
It is, it’s a great place to visit or live in.
This is the kind of socialist hellscape the capitalist is protecting us from.
Edit: Dense mixed used urban development, biking to work, walking to your nearest weekly market, buying unprocessed food for groceries and common public area easily accessible by foot for old people where they can mix with other generations.

Everyone who reads Tintin knew already since 1954 that there is caves on the moon.
Now we just need a giant red and white rocket to get there.
They are getting better at blowing rockets. The goal is a 24h turnaround, blow one rocket, bring a new one and blow it again in less than 24h

Even for very long distances (where flying is almost mandatory unless you are ready to spend weeks traveling) trains make things easier.
For example I’m living in a small village in the south east of France and I will be traveling to the carribean in summer for family, I will be walking to the train station is my village to take the train, 2 changes later I will be in London from where I’ll take the plane to cross the Atlantic.
Same thing on the way back but with a night train.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

This one hurt a bit too close to home.
In high school and college I did believe that in my lifetime humanity would really start space exploration and colonization.
I studied engineering and did everything I could to contribute to this great advancement of humanity. I got a double master degree in aerospace manufacturing, specialized in the machining of exotic alloys used in aerospace, worked on rocket engines, developed new machining techniques that unlocked new possibilities for aircraft engines performances and was working my way up to be one of the few people in Europe highly specialized on machining technique for these alloys used in aerospace.
Then in 2016 I read more and more about “Collapse”, more specifically the collapse of our thermo industrial civilization. We are not going to colonize space, we will be lucky if most of humanity does not die in the coming century.
So rather than contributing to the future of humanity with my work I was contributing to worsen the condition of life on earth by accelerating climate change and the uses of resources.
I had a bit of an existential crisis at this point.
I think it’s more that the doctor was struggling to insert it, so he offer the local anesthetic only to make his job easier.
It was defined as
one ten-millionth of the shortest distance from the North Pole to the equator passing through Paris.
The stick of metal in Paris is just so people don’t have to do measure the distance between the north pole and the equator each time they want to check their measuring tool.
My wife is on my left, it’s going to be interesting
I used it a few times for work even. At the time I had a usb-c hub connected with a screen, Ethernet, 65w charger, a keyboard and mouse and I had my laptop that I was carrying with me.
Once or twice I arrived at work and realized I forgot my computer at home … And I have a 2hour drive … So I connected my phone to the hub and work on it. It worked well to send email, use an internet browser, a bit of document editing and mostly connecting to remote desktops.
“Be on time for your appointment next week”
Here, I hope it will help
This is great that they are releasing 3d printables parts AND they released the parts under a Creative Commons license !
This is amazing to see a brand contributing their work to Creative Commons
I’m having a thought now.
Each time we see “company laid off X employees to replace them with AI”. Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?
