    Guess the map 16: No need for that latitude!

    Interesting that Ceasefire says economy is related to whatever this is, because while UAE has the highest %, Yemen (poorest country in the Arab world) also has a high % too It's low for most of Europe and Asia. No data for most of Africa but there's noticeably more yellow there than on other...

    Ship of Theseus and the old Copenhagen Stock Exchange

    I don't see the problem with trying to rebuild it as close to how it was before. For me it's not so much about authenticity as about maintaining a diversity of architectural style and construction knowledge. Of course there's historic value in it, but inevitably the reconstruction will not be...

    The Boring Thread

    Weather turning cooler and rainier so got my laundry tumble dried at the laundromat for the first time this year. Inferior to drying in the sun but it does save the hassle of having to put them up on the line with pegs and taking them down, especially with small items like socks.

    Is it the end or the beginning?

    Also how short is too short to be an era? If we're in a new era every five or ten years then there's not much significance to the start or end of one categorically

    Is it the end or the beginning?

    It does feel like we are living when historians will periodise as the end of one era and the beginning of another Or perhaps every generation feels that way We do know that the scale and pace of environmental and technological change we are witnessing has no precedent in human history. The...

    Haiti is here, Haiti isn't here.

    If we strictly respect Haiti's sovereignty then yes dropping off a cheque would be what we'd do. If we are interested in actually trying to do some good, best to put it aside in a fund and make it conditional on things like the state existing. It will still get looted by the powerful and...

    General Politics Three: But what is left/right?

    One of the strangest things about the United States as a non-American but they seem to have very deep historical roots and they'll probably just find ways to go on unofficially even if colleges refuse to sanction their existence.

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    I suppose the same way as all the various anti-liberal, anti-democratic parties have operated, with obstruction and demagoguery. The campaign promises are not meant to be achievable, which is the whole point. They're there to show the failure of the system to deliver, thus justifying scrapping it.
