I think you're right, I misremembered the source. Reading online it's called the "robot series" and Asimov says he borrowed it from Heinlein.

Asimov introduced me to this concept in I robot.

In his version there were multiple levels of speed for entry/exit of transit so the main highways were going really fast.

IIRC it required some dexterity to use and sounded a bit dangerous...

To me your selection is reversed.

If you hate ads so much you're prepared to pay fb to get rid of it, I don't believe you're one to click on them.

I agree with you, the higher the level, the more athletes will destroy their bodies in the process.

My critism is about actively encouraging said destruction via promotion of stimulants. It's already bad as it is.

This website ignores the big problem with enhancement medication: the health of participants.

A future where there is an incentive to juice up athletes as much as possible is a recipe for disaster.

Can this tool help to simplify self hosting implems? K3s was recommended to me to replace my personal pile of systemd units starting docker compose configs and manual reverse proxy configs.

Im am completely oblivious to how k8s works.

This article makes me think about "tofu-dreg projects" [0]

Poor quality construction work prevalent in mainland china. If you look for content with this keyword, you will find jaw dropping videos of constructions workers bending or breaking "rebar" with their hands, Owners chipping away concrete in high-rise buildings like its sand, etc.

Of course some of this can be propaganda, but considering it has a local name, there must be truth to it.

I remember this being "exposed" in the Tate modern in London.

This piece of art is the one that made me acknowledge and appreciate modern art. It really makes you undestand the value of context and performance.

IANAL obviously, but nothing now stops me from selling T-shirts, figurines and lunchboxes of fable with my own drawings/designs. Any such sale is money not in DC pockets.

The point is to hurt DC financially in reprisal.

Also, characters from fable came from the public domain, so it's a logical conclusion from the point of view of the author.

>where quality is not important, like in games

I don't believe that's a good example. Video game music is an important part of the gaming experience, but its often taken for granted or overlooked.

In Canada its the same. I lived in France for a while and it was 2 months, it was quite the shock.

I disagree. As someone who doesn't own jewelry, I must admit nothing blings like diamond.

Go to the London tower and look at the crown jewels. It's jaw dropping.

It's of course a way of displaying your wealth, but it also reflects and scatters light in an incredible way.

Funnily enough, I found gymnopédie #1 harder to play, even if I actually already played on the piano. Its like if muscle memory of actual piano was fighting it.

you sample bad reviews from users and read them. You can most of the time filter it out the classic noise:

-Pretentious watchers hating on summer blockbuster movies

-Political things and review bombs

About your specific example Steam comes to mind, they have a great review timeline feature that allows to filter out review bombs.

Agreed, but you can infer a lot with it.

My favourite way of judging movie quality is checking what kind of movie goers hate it and why.

I'm absolutely not trying to say say its not messed up. I was trying to say that these (horrible) practices do not characterize Afghan culture itself as they are pervasive in the world. I don't think this is whataboutism.

Honestly re-reading myself I now think of many cultures where it was never an occurrence, so I don't really agree with myself anymore. Thank you for making me rethink it.
