He said inherit, not inherent

Yeah it's gotten really bad at Citroën, they split of their brand with the DS brand, which was supposed to be the cutting edge design brand, but it's rather generic design with a logo nobody recognizes.

Speaking of logos, the new Citroën logo itself is very ugly.

It's bad when a budget brand, Dacia, is going more inventive stuff, like designing a slide in bed system and attachable tent for their station wagon.

I also remember the joke that was written on the same wall 'it takes leather balls to play rugby'.

I didn't get the joke till much later, but somehow it stuck with me.

Then you have found the goat

I think the title doesn't really give a good impression of the contents of the article.

The article spends most time on evolution Sacks' homosexual identity and struggle with sexuality and repression.

His uncertainty and melancholical bouts maar him question his own work and make the author conclude him 'putting himself in his work'.

However very little evidence is presented. Most insinuated about is 'awakenings' yet even in that case it's hard to reach conclusions.

The author plays of his perennial self-doubt as aan admission, but there's very scant evidence about him actually making up stories.

I'm not saying his method is our isn't flawed, it's just that the title belies the story. The struggle with his sexuality is the main subject and only small bits are about his uncertainty of his work.

That's an amazing write up, and a very fucked state of affairs.

There's no computers nor chairs involved, however.

Nice try Elon

Yeah, the lack of addictiveness was one used to promote the spiffy new drug heroine over the addictive morphine.

We tend to be suckers for the 'big men' way of writing history. As we are hard wired to appreciate causality:

X triggers y which revolutionized how we do z and changed the world to our 'current understanding'.

In this case the writer is trying to push a theological, conservative narrative, and Aquinas fits perfectly! Wow!

Otoh one could argue that Aquinas biggest achievement is showing the natural world cannot be explained solely from the bible, thus necessitating less convoluted explanations (Occam's razor) this paving the way for science through falsification.

All writing on the success of technology in war follows the same structure.

A new weapon is introduced and finds success, is boasted as the future of warfare. It works and is a significant advantage for the side using it, being a force multiplier.

After the initial succes the other side starts using it too, and there's a scramble for countermeasures. This makes the wonder weapon less effective.

Then articles are written that are the inverse of the hype following the first implementation. Even doubting if 'this is the end of -wonder weapon- ?'

Look at the tank. With every new weapon (take drones) it is theorized that drones would be the end of effectiveness of tanks as a weapon system.

It's not, but it's not longer a wonder weapon, yet a piece of equipment, that's constantly evolving. Is an arms race and it's been like that since the invention of the club by our ancestors.

Ok. So it's just tactical that the commander in chief foreshadowed the bombing?

Maybe a culling improves the quality of the crop?

Napoleon proved that having meritocracy in the battlefield leadership beats out old sullen generals that are there because they have always been..

There's no need to ask ChatGPT, astrophysics PHD/u/astromike23 answered exactly that question here:

The use of the word 'insane' is a bit strong of you don't mean disrespect.

I do support your enthusiasm for the topic and applaud your critique of the article.

But your argument seems to be: the authors didn't pay much respect to the science, in favor of clickbait; they should've read work of fiction instead.

I cannot asses how scientifically accurate Kim Stanley Robinsons' writing is, but he's a doctor of literature rather than a astrobotanist.

Isn't there possibility of very in depth racial profiling?

I mean ancestry.com data van be used similarly, but genetical info is inobfuscable.

Who wants part of a drug pushing retirement state. Give us California!

Any moment now....

Also, the church used to be a motivator for people to create offspring. With secularism rising, that influence wanes.

Yeah the Russians try that and it can't beat a much smaller, yet determined army.

No shareholders!

Of late the Dutch were thinking of sending prisoners to Estonia.

It mirrors the absolutist monarchy of Louis 14, where courtiers needed to be available for his lavish feasts (and couldn't be elsewhere to plot on their own)

Into that darkness is pretty grim, to be honest. Great read but gut wrenching

Glass containers would not be an option. Monte Testaccio is maar up of globular amphorae of the type Dressed 20 (link at the end). Which is the largest type of amphorae, holding up to 80 liters. There's no way to make glass vessels of that size (in Roman times) they did use smaller glass bottles for oil that was perfumed.

The globular shape meant that reuse was impractical. Smaller allongated amphorae (the form most people think of when amphorae are mentioned)could see reuse as roofing tile, however they didn't hold the same volume.
