Now, bring this concept into a potential conflict between the US and China. China has ~200x the ship building capacity as the US.

In WWII it’s generally agreed that the NAZIs had better, more sophisticated weapons. The US and Soviets just built more which ended up being a winning strategy.

In both the Ukrainian and Iran theatres, mass produced cheaper drones have proven an effective strategy against sophisticated anti-air defenses.

My point is that in real conflicts it seems manufacturing quantity is more important than technological superiority. Today, the US boasts of its weapons superiority, but China’s manufacturing capacity far exceeds the US. If it really came to (non nuke flinging) war between the two, it seems China has the advantage.

I’ll always recognize the hiphopopotomus. His lyrics are bottomless.

Are you showing the shadow of the mountain THROUGH the balloon on the left? That is incredible!

Hey can we get a big titty goth over here to talk to Agent641?

It’s gender neutral in some contexts, but not all. If you said you made out with 5 guys last night that would imply men, not people.

Meet people where they are.

The final conclusion of the books is far more satisfying than the show ending. Other than that, I completely agree.

Thanks Obama

I didn’t! Care to share?

Is it a fractal?

I work at a large well established company. I get so many legitimate emails from outside our domain that I am required to click on. Performance reviews, company surveys, corporate training…

Then they wonder why people click fishing links. Bugs the crap out of me. I’m not going to remember the exact domain of the survey company we use, what are you crazy?

Middle class is such a stupid term. It doesn’t mean anything, almost everyone in society considers themselves middle class. It is only useful because of that self identification, so a politician can say “I’m helping the middle class” and 95% of society thinks the politician cares about them.

This is great advice, but doesn’t work for everyone. I’ve found the snowflake method gives me more motivation.

It works by identifying the core element of the story and expanding with ever more detail. I prefer this method because if you get an idea in your head you can start writing about the most exciting things first. Flush out cool ideas first and it encourages iterative working so even if your first couple passes are garbage (as they will be) you get to refine them as you mull things over in your head.

Ootl, context?
