The read more button doesn't work for me but since they were removed during autopsy I guess they just got put into a container after being processed but not listed with the bits to be forwarded to the funeral home.
The article says bin but I don't think they're talking about a trash bin, probably a lidded plastic container in the correct storage area.
I agree we need ubi or something more dramatic but there's been various decent arguments for how things could work without it.
The most popular is probably a continuation of what happened all through the rest of the industrial revolution. Like how the price of cloth fell when autolooms took peoples jobs, this caused demand to increase and created whole new industries - fashion, fashion blogging, etc, etc. It's easy to think that there's nothing new left but that's because new things are harder to imagine.
There's also a lot of talk about a return to more localized business models, the falling cost of services resulting in smaller communities being able to be self sufficient. The same logic goes on a larger scale also, governments able to offer more complete services at much lower prices reduces the cost of living and avoids the privation and poverty which caused such unrest in previous eras of low employment. Higher standards of living and more opportunities to engage meaningfully with the world or enjoy distractions will result in less political urgency, especially as solutions roll out globally reducing pressures that cause migration, etc.
The doomer model pushed by tabloids and drama merchants just hand waves away everything that doesn't satisfy their urge for bad news, they want us to imagine a world where hyper efficient robots have stolen everyone's jobs but it's 1925, we're suffering after a failed world war and there's no bread... it makes no sense.
We can already see the effects of technology making life cheaper, even this international conversation would have been too expensive for me to participate in fifty years ago. Education resources are actually free now for all but the most obscure subjects, it's hard to think of anything you can't learn free. Entertainment also, creative tools, all sorts of things are available to everyone on the planet - anyone trying to pretend this isn't a huge thing simply isn't being serious.
There's a lot of really complex stuff that goes Into models for how things will unfold and people talk about it all at great length, I feel a lot of people avoid these topics like antivax groups avoid learning about actual science because they don't want things to be complex, they want to feel special and you can only do that when you're certain of your opion because you actively avoided learning any confounding arguments.
You're caught up in the argument and not paying attention to what the other person is saying.
Think of it this way, that carving might be totally accurate snd still not represent the whole story. It doesn't even really show that many people, I've worked jobs where for a few days there are hundreds of people it's very impressive and the photos always end up somewhere. This could just be intended to capture one key stage or big event, if it could be combining lots of things into one image to show 'there was a huge workforce' it's not a lie or deception but it's also not the whole story.
Brute force was part of how they did it but it certainly wasn't all of it, and most people who've never pulled a big rope don't really think about how hard it is - plus we take it for granted now but having rope that a hundred men can pull on is a feat of engineering in itself.
We know they used boats to transport them most the way, we know they used complex pullies and levers to get them into position, we know they used work teams and various other methods but none of those really solve all the questions which is why it's such an interesting subject to think about.
And yes I know people get silly and talk about aliens or magic acoustic whistles or whatever but that's not what the person you were talking to was doing, things like wet sand and forgotten infrastructure are realistic and logical ideas.
Yeah people really forget how recent an invention good rope is, It's not like they could just order a few hundred meters on ebay. Making all that rope would probably be more effort and expense than a lot of the stuff that people write of as too complex for them to have considered, like temporary canals or raise and drop sledding.
Imagine coming all the way to a planet light years away and making them awe inspiring monuments just for them to say 'yeah that's easy we could do that, in fact we did! We made this!'
Honestly though their fault for using their galaxy age tech to build something about as complex as your average bronze age civ...
[Jesus people, this is a joke as made obvious by the punchline about them building to a bronze age level - you guys really need to work on reading comprehension, it's such an important life skill]
Yeah I don't think anyone believed that for a while now, that was just what people trying to base their world view on the Bible wanted to be true... exodus didn't happen either and Egypt doesn't seem to have had many Jewish slaves.
Seriously, risking charges just to lash out at a billionaire by attacking someone using their product is absolutely crazy. It's unhinged even without the risk of charges, especially of all the things to attack an electric vehicle - do people not remember how we'd dog on the manchildren that did similar things to prius?
Yeah it's funny the hate they get on here, every single person I know that's been in a tesla on FSD has said it'd brilliant, there are endless videos of people in love with their cybertrucks that show in detail why they like it. But no, 'i saw one go past and could just tell it was low quality'
Personally it's not for me, it's too big and intense even if I could afford it, it's not a disaster though and if people like it then it's good because they're the people that'd probably have a massive ICE truck instead. I honestly think the people hating on it are reaching into cope territory, scratching them because they're desperate to make them fail like they predicted.
It's just another product on the market, people should hype up good alternatives and help them grow if they want to 'fight elon'
I work with a person that went presented with a problem, works through it and arrives at the wrong solution. When I have them show me the steps they took, it seems like they interpret things incorrectly. This isn't a language barrier, and it's not like they aren't reading what someone wrote....
Have we started to get reddit style bait on lemmy now? There's no way someone can communicate so poorly in this and multiple responses while blaming someone else for not understanding.
And you can be physically strong but still need emotional reassurance and tender cuddles after I fuck you deep and wild like the horny slut you crave being. You don't need to pick one or the other.
They were idiots trying to maintain a poverty based system simply because they weren't on the very lowest rung. They were also proven very wrong, demand for textiles increased dramatically as prices fell and areas where there had been nothing but privation flourished into affluent communities with longer lifespans, better wages and improved living conditions for everyone even the lowest classes - this resulted in improvements literacy amoung the poor and resulted in the erosion of the class system as the early industrial era matured.
If the luddities had won we'd all be far worse off now.
Reasonable people understand that transition is not an overnight process. Also adoption isn't linear which is why they say the first third is the biggest half.
Yeah a lot of towns in Europe are 'twinned' with another European town - i always assume its just an excuse for the councilor to get free holidays when making the agreement but your idea makes it sound really interesting, a portal could be really cool.
Yeah as a non American I think a lot is it is because most of Europe ignores its problems - you'll hear endless stuff about racism in America but very little about it In France so it feels like the US is worse but France is way way more racist, like absurdly so.

Latchkey kids of the 21century have it worse than the originals, parents not there for them but now they're also helicopter parents spying on them and controlling their actions remotely. I guess we should call them drone parents.
The report just says not to divert funding from other projects to SAF, that's pretty reasonable and expected really - At some point it might change but at the moment there are better things to spend the money snd resources on.
When the grid is green snd there is no shortage of demand even with electric cars, boats, and heating factored in then hopefully saf will have matured enough to help complete the final transition from fossil fuel or even better electric planes will take over.
Regardless the big powers will continue to research the chemistry and engineering side of SAF because it's important for space based infrastructure, no fossils in space to power the return trip.
In a Reddit Q&A, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman let slip that he wants the company to be able to generate "NSFW stuff" for users — and he has examples of just what kind of "stuff" he means....
Yeah 'in mear days...' if people had access to technology they've had access to for over a year now. Doomers don't even pretend to live in reality anymore.
Because a successful tech CEO commented about a topic people are interested in? I understand that you puritans hate sexuality and any forn of art that isn't strictly censored in a dozen ways but wow if you think that's what's going on on 4chan you're so naive it's kinda sweet.
What are you even talking about? We're not on 4chan and yes running programs on windows generally involves an exe file - are you suggesting that people shouldn't use software unless it's made by Microsoft?
It's a software project with a lot of users, if using open source software scares you then you better get off Lemmy...
The Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has for years overseen a secret police force in Gaza that conducted surveillance on everyday Palestinians and built files on young people, journalists and those who questioned the government, according to intelligence officials and a trove of internal documents reviewed by The New York Times....
You 'know' they're paid by Isreal? I'm guessing you know this because of totally real sources based on evidence...? No? Oh a feeling in your tummy that you want to be true because it makes you feel better to avoid reality and imagine the world as black and white? OK.
Yes they are arguing that by allowing aid info Gaza this props up hamas they are right wing people saying that Isreal should have been harder on hamas - you probably think Isreal should allow more aid into Palestine so either you want to prop up hamas, you don't really belive this logic or consistency doesn't matter to you and you'll use any excuse to criticize Isreal.
Because that's what this argument is, they're talking about UNRWA and similar groups that are officially separate from hamas but in practice are largely controlled by hamas.
Do you really not follow any of this? You have such strong opinions for someone that doesn't seem to follow the big talking points at all. I get if you want to disagree but not knowing the arguments make you seem very uninformed.
You made baseless accusations about alt accounts that doesn't even make sense and now me not knowing what you're trying to say is evidence I'm a liar? Are you OK? Or are you just deceptive and looking for an out on a debate because you realize that your bluster won't work and you have no facts or cohesive arguments?
Translation: I've brought into the idea that america is the best and therfore without any evidence I'll assume that every bad thing that happens is worse in China.
It's weird that people acknowledge china has made huge investments in modernizing industry while america has not but then act like investing trillions in high tech manifacturing has changed nothing and the country is still just guys in pointy straw hats scratching at the dirt.
Go look at the dji factory, it's a beautifully elegant engineering masterpiece as or more advanced than any western factory. The design is efficient, robust, and retoolable with workers getting good wages and a range of benefits that rival or exceed similar employment in Europe or the US, most working 9-5 in good safe conditions with adequate breaks.
MiC25 the project to invest in and promote Chinese tech manifacturing is reaching maturity and exactly what was intended and expected is happening. The lesson should be that investing in infrastructure and modernization is a great idea but instead people want to dismiss that and say 'no surely things are always better here in the west where the only investments we make are bailing out the rich every time they fuck up'
Yes china has a lot of problems like any county, just assuming that everything they do is evil and terrible makes no sense.
Yeah here in the uk there's plenty of good charging points, woodland trust and national trust are putting them in at a lot of locations so I could plan a relaxing walk in the woods with my journey if I ever needed to go more than 150 miles, I think that would be really nice.
Supermarkets have tave them too, so I could plan getting the shopping I need for the trip while it charges, this would allow me to avoid predatory pricing at garages too.
I just looked on a road distance map and it's about where I would normally stop for a break, I've done longer drives but only rarely and I can't think of a time an excuse to stop for a walk in the woods wouldn't have been welcomed.
Oh and I only have one wiper but it was made by Hyundai so I guess it gets a pass lol
What is your point here? You sent a message on a public forum which I responded to as is to be expected by the nature of the platform. I demonstrated that your opinion was wrong, to this you had no argument beside insults and are now obsessing over nothing
One is for the person you sent it to to reply to, the other is open for anyone to reply to.
Saying that me proving you wrong didn't count because you didn't address the post solely to me makes no sense. Defend your argument or accept I demonstrated you are wrong, this weird attempt at lawyerimg who's allowed to respond to your public posts is convincing no one.
