Rare Earth by Peter Ward is what you're after here. I took an elective in college that effectively was reading a bunch of space science (and history, it was odd) and discussing. This one caught me off guard but was a decent breakdown of a possible answer to Fermi.

I don't necessarily agree with the supposition, mainly because it still comes from a place of specifically carbon-based life as the end goal. But they do lay out reasoning in an easy to understand way that was super neat to learn.

Nope.

Personally? Nationalism & nation states. The longer they stay around, the more likely everyone is to think they're more deserving of X, and pull the literal and metaphorical trigger that leads to hitting the filter.

I recognize that individuality is very much our thing, but that will literally only take you so far.

MF just casually killing a couple that happens to have a ton of money and saying "they just dropped dead, swear!" 😂

rsync gang when?

"...is are..."?

"Cruel and unusual punishment" then?

Eyyy, this is also my first, but is a 2017 instead 🙂

Yupp! Set up folders, enable on multiple computers; baby, you got a stew going

BT Sync no longer in vogue here? That's what I've used to both sync and distribute certain things. Used to use it for my image backup until immich came along and stole my heart. Still use it for phone backups

Big focus on the model system if possible. My partner still reminds me about the time I said a minor update in my stack* would take "a few minutes" 😅

But ya! Outperforming!

I go in to eat said baked goods ❤️

Fair that they don't have to let them speak necessarily due to it being "private" property, but goddamn you could at least have said "let's have some music while this gets sorted." Dude crossed the line from eh to asshole in my book with that one line.

What is this, 2003? 😅

Y'know, I thought "real track, real trucks."

Then noticed how big the building was and my brain went a bit wonky until I realized "real track, real rc trucks."

Looks fun though!

Edit: also, didn't see where it was posted 🙃

Eyyy Biden, welcome to 6 months ago!

Soon you'll notice he seems a bit too giddy accidentally killing civilians.

Aight, so long as we're including other religious texts and having the class be a deep dive into similarities and differences and what might make the "human condition" between all of them, I'm game.

Oh no? Just American Christianity? Sounds like something that goes against the Constitution there.
