Humans had one purpose in the universe - to produce plastic. Mission accomplished.

The two uses of nuclear weapons in Japan were horrible. It’s been long debated whether or not that choice vs. the invasion planned was the better of two. I won’t get into that.

What is more horrible is that instead of staying shocked at the potential of nuclear war, humans in every nation that could tried to make more and bigger ones…for defense, of course. And the islands weren’t originally uninhabited, that’s a nice story of forced relocation for the humans. The wildlife, not so much. That was the point of the post, the history of nuclear arms post-Japan is far worse than the first two bombs used.

Watching some reaction videos of people discovering Pink Floyd, one of them made an observation that clicked during “Time”. That Pink Floyd likes to first set the mood with the opening, then drop a few profound lyrics, and follow with a long solo that sets a mood of introspection where your mind goes back to those lyrics letting them hit harder during the musical interlude…then they follow with deeper lyrics to hit again.

I’ll admit that I’m one of those who enjoyed Pink Floyd when I was younger mainly because of the music. It’s coming around again and the lyrics are now my focus because some of it hits far harder once you have experience in life.

I just got a replacement router (bad lightning storm) and to set up the wifi information or anything else I had to download an app on a phone to access it. 192.168.1.1 shows the QR code to install. And what I can change on this new one is even less than the limited version I had before. Total overkill.

A subset of the kerning problem. Space layout is important.

I don’t know why they’d be ashamed of a lower case t though…

Unfortunately a literal reading of Genesis 1:28 says to subdue the Earth (master or control in a few translations, and use all the resources for God’s purpose in one). Those trying to paint a nicer picture might change it to being stewards of the planet (which is what I always heard as a kid), but that’s not what’s there. To be fair, it was written in a time where the world seemed endless and humans couldn’t possibly destroy everything, a mindset that lasts to this very day. Even less than a century ago we were okay with dumping stuff into the water or burying it, or burning things because it was a huge world and the smoke disappeared into the sky.

There is no “proper” English, there are only various versions of the original. If you really want to nitpick, American English stayed “truer” to the original English because of various reasons while the British version diverged more over the 18th-19th centuries.

Or in a shorter form, adding a ‘u’ to make some words sound more…French…is just silly.
