And the concept of infinite growth.
Financially, if your company is not expanding an increasing amount quarter on quarter on quarter, it's considered to be failing.
And yet, nothing can grow forever. At some point, all things must come to an end. It's an unrealistic pipe dream.
Say that the Instant Pot is so good that everyone has ten of them. Where would they grow from there?
I forget my own fucking birthday but let me wax poetically about extinct Australian megafauna for a few hours.
Don't forget remembering your childhood gaffes in perfect detail.
But give me a minute to set myself the mental stage and start rambling about how as a kid I was obsessed with this old faux taxidermy at the Melbourne museum because it was like a derpy wombat horse
Have you stopped by recently? Although not mammalian megafauna, they've rather expanded on the saurian section.
It's like a trance, and it's really hard to stop once you start, but you can't just pick up into it,ย something has to trigger the memory to surface, like seeing a certain train go past to remember specific train facts, or in my case thinking about where you I was and who I was with when I first learned some of the best facts about my thing.
At least for me personally, it doesn't work so well if I'm quizzed on the spot about it, but I do have an ongoing portion of my brain that constantly cycles through the interest, to the point where it will start leaking into everything else, or I pick up on it like a gun to an MRI machine.
Though I have AuDHD so not sure if the episodic memory is my autism or my ADHD, it feels like ADHD because the thoughts are so bouncy when they come, but it also feels like like autism because it's anxiously obsessive in a fun way inside my brain once they journey starts.
Bit of both? But it doesn't help that things like depression and anxiety can also affect memory, both of which can be comorbid with either.
You can never quite trust an organ you can't see.
They might have confused it for a head transplant?
Although neither patient was alive at the time of the transplant.
I don't know if a full brain transplant would be feasible, or even a good idea. Not only would none of their senses and motor nerves work for weeks while the brain and nerves re-established themselves, but they would be walking around in a dead person's face, body and speaking with their voice. That seems genuinely horrific.
Yes, but they've got the advantage of having done it for longer, and not stirred the pot.
I honestly don't think it would have been an issue for Microsoft if they just decided to sit on Internet Explorer instead of trying to push everyone into using Edge.
Politically, maybe, but economically, the US remains a major powerhouse, and if nothing else, that might be the sole factor that makes them try to keep things stable.
It's one of the few things much of the wealthy and the not-so-wealthy tend to both want, particularly for those who have a decent amount of wealth tied up in the American market, and a fair amount of money might be spent to that end.
You do what the police do, and provide a proportionate response.
A gun is only to be used if you are in imminent danger of your life. A robbery is arguably not that, unless they're trying to steal your organs or prostheses.
There's a reason your average supermarket security guard doesn't immediately whip out the Mini-Nuke the moment they see a shoplifter.
There's also something to be said about the place you're living in, where you're to be terrified of stabbists and robberers the moment you step out-of-doors. Do you live in a hive of scum and villainy?
Larger than your average claw hammer or ball peen, at least.
Especially when it causes law enforcement to become so paranoid of the citizens they're ostensibly meant to protect, that a mere hailstone landing on the car roof immediately causes them to believe they're being fired upon.
That just sounds like a terrible time for everyone involved.
At that point, you're basically turning the constabulary into soldiers.
Carry a large warhammer, like Thor.
What about the Selectric Typing-ball?
