Maybe it can be applied for other efforts.

lol, i just tried the demo of this, and it just had a two minute monologue with itself without me saying anything:
How is it going? Hey! So have you seen the new wolf movies? I don't think it's one of those movies where they like they kind of like go in and it's just like, oh, here are all the wolves, I don't know, there's like a big bad. There's a big bad. the main character is a wolf, a young wolf in a family. And then at the beginning of the movie, they get attacked by like the big bad wolves. And then I don't know, I don't know how to say it, but the main character gets separated from the rest of his family. So he's all alone and he has to like go through this adventure to find his family. And there's a lot of action and adventure and like you know, there's some like you know, like some uh, well like you know, some uh, like some sort of you know, like uh, you know, like a montage of him like you know, kind of like training in his new environment. And I don't know, like there's some like heartwarming moments and some like you know, some really fun, like action scenes and like some like you know, some funny moments. Um, but yeah, I don't know much about the story to be honest. Um, but I thought it looked really fun. Yeah. I'm just from a movie from the trailer. So from what I can gather, it should be. But you should see it just to see if it's if it's good. Yeah.
It sounds like someone leaving a voicemail
I was going to say onto the Internet as a joke.
Hell is where the chefs are British, the mechanics French, the lover's Swiss, the police German and it's all organised by the Italians.
We can do it for America, too: a union with Mississippi’s economy, California’s taxes, Alabama’s services and Kansas’s natural beauty.
This form is good for jokes but bad for analysis. BRICS could have worked if its members agreed on anything. They don’t, and there are better multilateral forums that don’t rely on the West that could be constructed in its place. (Starting with continental organisation.)
Living here in Kansas, we have a lot of natural beauty as a plains state. It's not all flat either. We have badlands, Zion-like rocks, hills to hike on, and minimal intrusion to nature.
When it snows, all you see is a sea of snow everywhere, and in the spring it's a sea of prairie grass in the rural areas.
The cities are like Chicago and San Francisco had a baby in terms of the architecture and layout.
Our taxes are also higher than California if you are going by percentage (for property taxes and sales taxes, but not income taxes, except for food). California is "okay" I guess. They could do some tax reform, but it's a large state with some large programs and initiatives, so considering that, it's not bad. Additionally, Alabama has less than stellar in person services, but great online services. Mississippi is often troped as having not the greatest economy, but their economy is based on oil, and chemical processing, and fishing. They are also located in a hurricane zone. That means that they get hit hard all the time, and have to keep rebuilding infrastructure. That's not easy. They also get hit economically every time there is a chemical spill or an oil spill, cause the plant will shut down, and they cannot fish there either. We should probably open datacenters there.
Here's Edward Snowden heroically waffling about "nuance" when asked why he hasn't spoken out more about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On a crypto website. He became a full citizen of Russia in autumn 2022, by the way.

He can get arrested and killed if he speaks out like that against Russia, especially because Putin personally intervened to give him and his wife citizenship. There is an understanding that his actions made the United States look bad and that's why he is getting this and that's pretty much it. If he causes problems in Russia he can go bye bye.

The overall murder rate graph only goes back to 1990, but it peaked in 1980, passing 10 per 100K.
However the firearm murder rate is higher (not to mention the overall gun death rate).
Well it's the homicide rate I think, which includes any killing by firearm including suicide. I wish we could detect if someone was purchasing a firearm with the express intent for suicide. Shopkeepers generally can because the customer will not express any preferences or have done much research and excuse certain telltale behaviors but you can get around it
Is the suicide rate going up or down with the murder (not homicide rate). That could tell us some things.
Additionally one could always commit suicide with their weapon they got when they were fine and have that count as a homicide and a suicide.
Will it have the addictive qualities of nicotine remaining so that this child will be a loyal customer from birth?

I clicked on that list. I went to pocket calculator, and it said the first one was made in the United States.
You should look into the sheer amount of industrial espionage that Japan did in the United States and Soviet Union post WW2. It is mind boggling. We started legally transferring and licensing technology to them so that at least we would make some money back.

> No country without a basic civic sense can (in the immediate few years) have the R&D capabilities you speak of in a meaningful fashion.
LOL. Pray tell… Are you going to elaborate on your theory of technology development, or are you just bloviating your biases?
And sure, I am biased. That was my dad's life. That was his story. He made the call to leave India hoping to improve his career by moving to Australia and then the United States. He considered moving back multiple times, but could not bring himself to do so, not because of the lack of good opportunities, but because of the lack of civic sense.
There are people in India who work super hard (which he really likes), but then there are people who are so selfish, driving on the sidewalk in the opposite direction, get upset because the ambulance is speeding to the hospital and refuse to move and block it intentionally, taking all kinds of shortcuts and opportunities to cheat each other instead of conducting business honestly, etc. No good treatment of women.
It's messy and it needs to get more organized to do anything meaningful in terms of R&D in that country.
