Sellafield is leaking nuclear sludge due to decades of neglect and apathy; an entirely British problem

Ah I see

The current Chinese state did not exist before WW2, so I think that comparison is a bit odd

Which nations would you not call shitholes?

Frankly man I find this very insulting and pretty racist. You don’t have a good word to say about them eh?

Wtf are you on about? I’ve been to Vietnam several times and the progress they have achieved in such a short period of time is incredible. They have built megacities on the ground where the yanks firebombed. Have you been to Da Nang? Walked around HCMC? Spoken to the people? They are evidently working against the corruption, as we can see in this article, whereas where I live everyone knows the govt sends cash to their buddies and no one can do anything about it?

Are there any particular texts from Engels that you disagree with? I would be interested to know where you think the split is. From my reading, Engels was mostly involved in the philosophical and scientific side of the development of dialectical materialism and it’s application into Marxism. Eg. “Dialectics of Nature”, “The German ideology”, “Feuerbach and the end of German classical philosophy”,“anti-duhring” etc. I’m not sure where the apparent “brutality” is coming from here?

How can you agree with Marx and not with Engels? Engels practically did a large chunk of the philosophical heavy lifting for Marxism.

Western liberal democracy is a facade

Maybe try Phantasy Star Portable 2

Wow that’s amazing, thank you. It was the voa nui game I was thinking of. Is there something like this for the other Lego web games?

I played this open world Lego game where you had to deliver pizzas on a skateboard or something, but I was too young and couldn’t figure out how to complete the game, or it kept bugging. I can’t remember what it was called.

Edit: ah of course it was Lego island 2, the image was familiar

I also played a sort of Bionicle mmo in the browser that i thought was cool. I wonder if any of the old flash games are archived somewhere? There were so many.

Politicians are capable of misleading voters plenty on their own

See if an office equipment seller is doing office clearances and you can get some office chairs for less than $100 most likely (I got one for £50)

So have many others, except they didn’t start a company based on it. As soon as it is part of a company, it is no longer free and open

Don’t antibiotics also cause cell lysis? especially those like beta-lactams that interfere with cell wall maintenance

resistance genes are often carried on transferable elements like transposons and plasmids, which often contain multi-gene cassettes encoding for many types of resistance. I would also like to be hopeful too, but every antibiotic we have developed has had resistance develop against it, also within multidrug resistant strains like MRSA and CRAB. I think we should be hopeful for phage therapy, as well as AB + phage combination therapy. I think relying purely on antibiotics is a bit of a dead end.

I think bacteriophages should be investigated much more, unfortunately I don’t think big pharma is that interested in them, although they are also pretty uninterested in antibiotics too, because they generally don’t make much profit. So I think at least in this economic model in the west we are unlikely to have them widely available. I am admittedly quite out of date, all I remember is that there was more research and use of them in eastern europe/russia.

And resistant strains will develop in a few months

From what I can gather it is intended to be an open source hardware security key, or key generator, not really a usable personal computer
