I don’t get it, it’s not like companies will stop buying rights for good movies/tv shows because there’s tariffs on them, and they’re not buying bad content anyways. Movie tickets and streaming subscriptions will just become more expensive for US customers to compensate and that’s that, the same thing that happened to every other thing tariffs were applied to.
What exactly does Europe sell to USA that they NEED to sell for the film & tv production to happen?
What is pretty cheap for you? Last time I was in Canada a 15GB plan costed something like $45, whereas in Europe that would be enough to get at least 2 unlimited plans and still have money for a coffee.
According to my phone I use around 4/6GB per month (I have an unlimited plan). But I’m guessing you’re in the US or Canada, I’m always boggled when I remember that data is expensive to you guys.
Even laying aside the fact that the US shat the bed with trade deals with both EU and Mercosur which redirects trades around them, I lived in Mercosur most of my life, and the rest in the EU, and outside very specialized shops made specifically for 'MuricasI have NEVER seen US cheese or ham for sale. Why would I? Both EU and Mercosur produce high quality cheeses and hams, and both places prefer their food a lot less industrialized.
In fact it’s sort of a ridiculous idea in my head, next they’ll complain that Mercosur is selling meat or that Japan is selling Pokemon toys, and now no one is going to buy their offers of those products.
How does it work on Android? One of my main use cases for Nextcloud is to be able to access some of my pdfs on my phone, the app seems to be focused on uploading which is something that while I do sometimes from my phone is much less often.
That poker hands reminded me of the episode in Malcolm in the Middle where they’re playing and suddenly realize there are 6 5s in the deck
Tell me you’re a front end programmer, without telling me you’re a front end programmer.
I had to do FE for a freelance work, I learned Angular built the thing and delivered, a few year later I wanted to do some other stuff went to check Angular documentation and it had changed completely, plus no one else was using it because everyone had migrated to React.
That would make Mint unstable. That is exactly what unstable means in Linux context. There are debian based rolling-release distros, including Debian Sid. This is one of the reasons people choose Arch, because it’s a rolling release you never have to worry about version.
There’s a good chance you might break stuff by upgrading major version like you fear, and that’s why it doesn’t happen automatically. That being said it should be safe, but good on you to prepare backups.
Hospitals and other critical locations have generators, so while blackouts are an inconvenience they rarely cause deaths. They might not be common where you live in part thanks to you, but other parts of the world have blackouts and people are fine. I’m not saying your job is not dangerous or important, but you might be overestimating your importance.
Regardless your job is something that would be considered “essential” on a broader scope, therefore would be highly compensated in any form of communism. During a transitional period it would be highly paid, and if ever money gets abolished it would be recompensated in other ways. On the other hand in capitalism your job is not that highly recompensated, because capitalism pays more for what makes more money regardless of how useful or dangerous it is. For example a quick search tells me that the median salary in the US for your position is 88k, whereas the median salary for a programmer is 133k, and I assure you my job is less dangerous and essential than yours.
That being said, dangerous or undesirable jobs should be automated away, if you think no one would want to be a power plant operator if they could do whatever they want to, then the proper solution is to get rid of the job entirely. No one should be forced to do something they don’t like just so they can pay their bills, we have enough technology to automate at least the dangerous parts of the job, it’s just that under capitalism that money it’s better spent elsewhere because your life is worth approximately 88k per year.
Are you suggesting your skill is more valuable than others? If so by which standard? What determines how valuable a skill is?. Or do you think other people don’t develop their skills as well?
I don’t know what you do for a living, but realistically unless you are a farmer your job is not actually essential. People can survive decades without doctors, can police themselves, etc, granted it would be a worse life than currently, but it’s survivable (and I don’t think you’re in either of these positions either, if I were to bet I would say you work in something that’s completely irrelevant to society but that earns money to some rich guy). However everyone needs to eat, so why do you think your skill is more important than the skill of the people actually keeping you alive?.
Does it address the “first loop” problem created by the second movie allowing to change the past?
Of your 3 first examples, 2 are terrible and the other is forgetful, while all of them are good movies, they’re terrible sequels. I have seen Predator 2, but all I remember is that it’s set in a city; Aliens is clearly a cash grab that undermines the first movie, it switched from Terror to Action, and it’s essentially the same reason that Colonial Marines is worse than Isolation; Terminator 2 is my personal pet peeve, because it completely destroys the first movie plot. How does time work in Terminator? Easy, it’s cyclical, meaning you can’t change the past. But Terminator 2 introduces the concept that the past can be changed, but if the past can be changed then there is an original timeline without any time travel, and if that’s the case John doesn’t exist there, and if he doesn’t exist the terminator doesn’t go back and Reese doesn’t go after him and John is never born. The only way Terminator makes sense is if Reese always went back, which means the past can’t be changed.
They are an oversea territory of Denmark, whose citizens are all danish and members of the EU. While technically not part of the EU it’s all but a technicality, by those same standards Alaska should not be a part of the USA. Even in the worst possible interpretation of this it’s like a country invading Puerto Rico.
Ukraine is not part of the EU or NATO, Greenland is. If Greenland gets invaded all of NATO members would be on war against the invader, leaving Russia to take any other countries they want to. And while America is stronger than any single member, it would have trouble fighting all of them, especially because if that war erupts lots of people in the US will be against it, so you would have to fight your own population.
That being said, I don’t think US will invade Greenland, I think all of that is grandstanding and trying to move the attention away from Venezuela, Palestine and Ukraine.
They do when it makes sense. Hosting small Giles is not a big deal, and small files would be a bad experience on torrent, since by the time you get peers to start the download you would have already finished it from a normal server, not to mention that you need to host the torrent file anyways. Also things that have lots of releases/patches are a bad experience, since people might be seeding an old version.
However, large files that only get sporadic releases, such as distros iso, can definitely benefit from it and you can usually find torrent links for them.
The quote needs a bit of context, to get the full weight, but essentially when asked what to do with his body after his death, Diogenes would reply with statements like “throw me in the forest without a burial”. People would be agast and ask him about vultures, wolves and other animals that might eat him, so he would say Just give me a stick to chase them away which is the quote I wanted.
If you liked that you might also enjoy Elite Squad.
The production? There are very few European companies making films in the US, and this would encourage them to film in Europe, so still not sure how that is bad for Europe.
US companies making films in EU are not importing anything, so tariffs don’t apply to them, and since it’s a US company they even hold the rights for the produced work so it doesn’t apply to that either.
What am I missing?
