After a year of surgery, chemo, and recovery, my wife's blood tests came back with troubling results.
Patsys. Scapegoats. Tools.
Don't forget mouse traps and other ways of keeping them safe from vermin.
Those who do not learn to love one another will die.
Exactly.
I'd aim for Annares as a model. From 'The Dispossessed". Syndicalism/Anarchism.
Once you are done, consider the date it was published.
When you finish it, look to The Left Hand of Darkness.
Also, there is a postscript/short story that serves as a prequel to Dispossessed. The Day Before the Revolution. Do not read it first.
AI data centers use a LOT of electricity. Our systems are rated for 130 kilowatts per rack. Our minimal buildings are in the order of 40 megawatts. Elmo is most certainly not going to build anything that can compare with our midrange buildings.
The Dispossessed. I am now an anarchist.
As I understand, a primary function of kindergarten is exactly that socialization. An awful lot of kids spend the first day crying. I did. He'll be fine.

My wife and I met at these ages - in the 1980s. The warning i have for you is that you both have not yet learned the kind of patience and forgiveness needed for a lifetime together. That will take time and work. We spent a lot of years in difficult situations and needed to rely on each other. A relationship is hard work.

Having family, friends, and neighbors over. Total will be around 16 or so. We cleaned the house all day yesterday and still need another few hours to prep. Had to rearrange the furniture to fit the tables.
It's 7am now. Gotta get out of bed and get going. They'll be here at 2.
A 2Mw diesel is too big for a regular truck. But not as big as a small house. My prior data center drew 4Mw. My current data center (AI-oriened) draws 30Mw.
I know someone that fled Croatia in the 50s to become a refuge and a stateless person. He made his way to the US via Germany, eventually getting naturalized and having a successful life and family.
This may be the last path open to us: Flee to a rational Euro country and seek asylum. Be the refugees that they push us to be.
I've resolved one adoption mystery and have two more under investigation. It's very rewarding work.
I'm also working on Euro citizenship for me and my siblings. We may be too late - some international policies are changing and we may be already shut out.
No. Ancestry is the big fish. 23 tried to swim in deep water without a solid established cash flow.
Also, how does someone having access to my (already public) tree matches do additional harm? My real name is globally unique. I'm Very easy to find and ID.
I use it and like it. DNA and all. Yes it's expensive. I generally pay for a month, then let it expire for a few months while I catch up, then renew as needed.
It is the 900 pound gorilla of the hobby. If you want to get DNA matches, it's the first choice by far. And it has enabled me to learn an enormous amount about my family - and my wife's, and several friends who are interested.
If genealogy is your thing, do it. If you only want to half-ass it, there are alternatives.
IT workers community?
Can folks recommend the appropriate Lemmy community for general discussion among people working in the IT field? Programmers, sysadmins, help desk, dba, all griping and bragging about work.
California law says genetic testing companies have to get your permission before they store, use or sell your DNA, but the state itself doesn't have to get your permission and has been storing DNA samples from every baby born there since the '80s. Lawmakers want to change that, but face an uphill ba...

Mergers and acquisitions have created food oligopolies that are inefficient, barely regulated, unfair, and even dangerous.
Just heard the interview on NPR. Worth a read.
My Table: Old School, Young Crowd
This kind of post seems like a good way for new folks to get acquainted and more settled in to Lemmy.
I'm old. 60 this year. My first game was in 1977. In high school, I was the DM for the D&D club - and ran all-night games for friends. Some are still very close. One of those is "F". His wife is "J". They have a 15yo daughter "S", and a 12yo son, "G". I have a 13 yo son, "M". My sister (50yo and a professional writer), is "E". That's 6 players.
Our last campaign had them defeat the King of Werewolves by freeing the Tarrasque from a city inspired by "Salt-in-Wounds". There was some direct divine intervention to increase the Epicality level. There were effectively no real rules, as no one was willing to learn any. Collaborative storytelling more than "a game". The real audience was the three kids, the adults are in for the storytelling and wacky fun.
We are just starting a new campaign based on the largest ruleset I could get them to agree to actually read and understand: 1976 OD&D (A
