Wow, you made it to be a grown arse adult and yet you still don't understand what homework is? Hint: Virtually no one is able to do homework without the class. One isn't a substitute for another. Homework is a practical application of what you learn in class to strengthen the concepts.

So you're saying advanced classes shouldn't require you to strengthen learned concepts or practice them? Maybe if you understood what homework is and it's purpose then you can come join me in this post and say with me with conviction: "No shit advanced classes require more homework."

Agreed. Now you'll also agree with me to double the teachers wages since you just doubled their working hours right? Right? RIGHT?

Yes because outsourcing learning to a computer helps our understanding, knowledge and skills. ... Are you an AI? I can't understand how a thinking human would have constructed your post, not even an OpenAI marketing drone could put that little thought into the topic of education.

Even courses about politics aren't political unless the people interpreted it as such. "Mathematical" "Proof Heavy" Sounds like woke DEI leftist nonsense if you ask me.

In fact China has brought in a lot of fairly strict environmental policies in the last few decades, which often have quite dramatic effects on local industry. For example, no factories within half a kilometre of most rivers, and no discharging untreated waste into them.

Then there is the massive and frankly staggering rate at which they have adopted renewables. Hit their Paris targets 5 years early, and those were considered too ambitious to be realistic at the time.

"But China" was never a good argument, but these days it's laughable.

All the EU has to do is hold its nerve until he relents.

Mamdani hasn't been in long but has already

- Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers
- Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders
- Fully funded NYC parks
- Added $680M for public schools
- Launched free child care for 2-year-olds

All things that we were assured were impossible, would crash the economy, would bankrupt the state etc. Oh, and he balanced the budget.

Politicians absolutely can help the people they are supposed to work for. Socialism absolutely does work. It's just that it works for you, not billionaires, so they are very keen to convince that they you can't possible have it and it's all just a fantasy.

They drive themselves most of the time, and on the odd occasion when they are unsure or the passenger calls for assistance, a human can intervene. They don't drive the car directly, they just tell it if it can proceed, which route to take, that kind of thing.

It helps deal with the corner cases that are hard to engineer general solutions for.

The main difference between that and driver aid systems is that the car doesn't need immediate intervention to be safe. It will stop and call for help. Driver aids need the driver to be paying constant attention, which is why the Tesla ones result in so many injuries and fatalities.

It's mostly better. While the barge has to be a bit more complex because it has to have the lattice of ropes (it's not a net), it means that the booster doesn't have to have landing struts. That's a significant weight saving, which means less propellant needed too.

It likely also means that the system is less dependent on good weather, and better able to recover from small issues that would tip self supporting boosters over. IIRC the Blue Origin system actually welds itself to the deck when it lands to help with that, which obviously makes the legs disposable.

The only real downside is that it does require that barge to land, so to land on the moon you would need to first land a landing station. That won't be an issue for the first manned trips, and longer term it may have advantages because the vehicle's engine can be shut off at higher altitude and kick up less regolith.

Exciting times and another technique added to the list of options. We will see which becomes the preferred one, but competition in this area is going to be good for getting costs down.

You misspelled European food. There's no American ingredients and no American staff used to make any of that food. Also try and find an American McDonalds that serves a McRaclette like they do in Switzerland.

To be clear it all tastes like the same rubbish, so you probably didn't miss anything. But McDonalds in Italy does serve things like cheese nuggets with Asiago Fresco cheese, and burgers with radishes and Asiago. Actually just looking it up it seems that's their big "localisation", that one Italian cheese.

And yet they haven't been slapped on those products, and were in the past not associated with those products in any way. Point is it is often quite hard to distinguish real from China slop (check some of the other comments pointing out that some of TFS listed names are actually legit), but when an actual recognisable brand name is used, ... it's actually easier to identify.

Would you buy a HiFire BBQ temperature gauge? Maybe, maybe not. What do you know about them? Nothing. Would you buy a Kodak one? That's easier to answer, no.

You didn't hear anything over the woooooooshing sound made repeatedly by the many number of times I spammed the word American and the obvious signoff at the end of the post ensuring that even the silliest person would understand that my post was sarcastic.

What went wrong when you tried to read my post?

Cigarettes are heavily regulated and taxed. We could only dream of a world where Facebook is as heavily regulated as cigarettes. Let's apply this shall we?
- Cigarettes are banned for minors, we should ban minors from Facebook.
- Cigarettes are subject to huge taxes in a great part to disincentivise smoking. We should make Facebook pay per use.
- Cigarettes are banned from marketing in many places. We should ban Meta from placing any adds on Facebook.
- Cigarettes are banned from having flavours which make them even more addictive or pleasant. We should ban Meta from optimising their algorithm to make it addictive.
- Cigarette manufactures are required to provide detailed ingredients lists on request. We should force Meta (and all tech companies) to open source their algorithms so we can see how they are pushing rubbish.
- Cigarettes in many European countries are not allowed to be displayed publicly for sale nor sold in supermarkets. We should force Meta to not automatically auto-play or infinite scroll (oh wait that's what we're doing now).

oh ...

Many countries ban the sale of cigarettes via the internet ... can ... we ... ban Facebook from... please?

Believe? My friend you don't need to believe, Meta admitted it in 2018 when they got dragged in front of various governments to explain their site and the cambridge analytical scandal.

The "scapegoat" literally employed people from the gambling industry in an attempt to make their product as addictive to possible to the sheep, and openly admitted doing so under oath in front of congress.

Let's not blame the "scapegoat". Let's outright slaughter it and grill it, and then wear it's coat as a warning to others. That's what the "scapegoat" deserves.

Literally no one is extending authority over your citizens. They are exercising the authority to regulate how companies work with *their* citizens. Meta already geofence their products so they behave differently in different regions. All tech companies do.

The gambling addict says the dopamine hit he gets from winning a hand while being down thousands of dollars is really convenient to keep him going so that he will strike lucky, just like he feels. Only people with bugs up their ass would regulate addictive behaviour or substances. /s
