More likely there will simply be no peace and they’ll technically stay at war, with a huge minefield in between the two countries, until one of them runs out of money.

The reasoning that gave us just-in-time delivery and supply chain breakdown.
Hippo protocol. Highest Paid Person’s Opinion.
There were enough American companies having an office in Ireland to avoid taxes. And soon also to avoid red state litigation.
I’m curious how that’s going to work in international context. Everything to do with the queer community suddenly has a link to .ca or .mx domain and server park outside the country where this doesn’t apply for example. Or reddit suddenly checks with the authorities in Zimbabwe if the ID is valid.
That’s what the hurricane said
I find it easier to just remember the approximate table.
0C = 30F
10C = 50F
20C = 70F
30C = 90F
Negative, you are 65% oxygen, so in effect hot air. 18.5% is carbon, 10% is hydrogen.
Or by molecules, you are mostly water.
And by those metrics, the average vehicle exhaust from a year of driving contains as much carbon and oxygen as 300 humans.
And then everybody slaps a “Only for 18+, fill in your birth day” on their site and nobody can legally claim it’s harming children.
That’s Truth Social. Musk seems to use it as a blueprint for the new Twitter.
We have curse stacking so it forms one big word. Godverdommemiljaardenondju. It’s an ugly mix of dialect, French and Dutch, meaning something like “curse you a billion times in the name of God”. And if it’s only a mild inconvenience we only use a small part, like “dju” or “miljaar.”
TruthX. It brings it more in line with SpaceX and model X, and also tells what it’s turning into.
“Your work was perfect and thanks to your continued efforts going above and beyond we achieved record profits. Unfortunately the budget doesn’t allow any raise this year.”
The most likely answer to get in 2 years.
The problem is politics and government becoming part of the market where laws, regulations and power can be sold and bought, if not for money then for influence.
There was a time where more companies held on to people and you could start and retire in the same company. That’s now decades ago. That era ended with the oil crisis and never came back, despite bosses pretending it’s still there.
Oh, how they hate the new generations doing exactly the same as they do, and only being interested in what’s in it for them in the short term and not trusting any promises.
This is the same in more places and more jobs: Schools, hospitals, nursing homes, …
Workers: we need more budget to attract new people. We’re already stretched too thin as it is
Boss: I’m cutting the budget to save on costs. If you don’t like it then quit.
Workers: That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Here’s my notice. I quit.
Boss: You can’t do that! Now I’m in trouble!
Disruptions are in the near future. Energy systems are changing, climate change is going to wreck things, wannabe dictators starting wars and others. Usually one of those isn’t a problem but a lot of those at the same time wrecked past civilizations. But you can’t predict how it’ll all turn out.
If history is anything to go by, the English speaking world runs into some trouble. Nothing much new comes out in English while somebody else becomes dominant in research and publishes in their language. That’s getting picked up in academia and politics and if anyone wants to be up to date, they learn that language. The other language now starts to distribute their movies exposing more people who pick up that language and spreading from there.
Sure, that can take a few generations. It’s not like everybody just decided to switch right now
Italians (Latin) and Greeks were salty before them. And the Anglo-Saxons will be salty when Chinese, Indian or an African language becomes the new lingua franca. That’s
We already know how to create plastics from CO2 extracted from the air and hydrogen from water. There is no shortage of raw material for plastics. The main question for the industry is cheap plastics and the answer to that has always been cheap oil and gas.
Using proven reserves and current consumption you get to 47 years and things run out. That’s a “within my lifetime” number for many.
