The sangaline article was great! I really liked their approach.

As someone who uses Dvorak on my phone, I would be super keen for this alternative

On the non-state-security side:

Not anything near what it’s like in the US. There are no incentives. “If you decide to blow the whistle you had better be financially independent”

“Rome wasn’t built in a day”

Has an entirely different message to me. It’s often used as a reminder to be patient, not to loose your temper, etc.

On the day Rome was founded Romulus killed his brother Remus and marked out the city of Rome, construction starts. This is my initial reaction.

The next thing the Romans, a group of men (probably criminals), did after founding Rome was to raid their neighbours and kidnap their women. Rome then makes war for the better part of a thousand years, eventually subjugating the known world.

I think it’s better used as a reminder subjugation starts out in small measures. “Parliament just passed antiterrorism laws, I’m sure they’re to protect us” “Rome wasn’t built in a day”

Based on what? The US discussing legalising genetic experimentation for military uses is the pathway to Gattaca.

Not saying you’re wrong, curious about your time-line

I would suggest they’re more in touch with the science. It haunts science, we know we must do it for the benefit of humanity, but with the knowledge - the powerful and capital will use it for themselves.

Still confused. They’re sinking shafts at an angle into rock, filling with water, the pressure towards the bottom breaks the rock.

And then? How is the water drained, the shaft re- stabilised, etc

Start your own business which has low overheads.

Worst comes to worst you loose a little on insurance and paper advertising

Tortilla chips, can of baked beans, half jar of salsa, microwave, top with hummus

Savory oatmeal.

Rolled oats with cold soy milk. Microwave 2-3 mins. Add chilli oil, spice paste, or ramen seasoning.

Tasty and not unhealthy. The plan is to prevent unhealthy food leading to a negative feedback loop.
