Hum... I've jumped over that part on your comment. And yeah, freedom for laborers was indeed a defining feature of capitalism. I'm not sure that puts the OP fighting against that system in a good light.

Anyway, comoditized labor is nearly dead, and the 20th century created that entire labor market oligopsony thing. "You'll never work on this city again!" was something so feared that it entered plenty of movies. Work today just does not work by the same rules as it did at the 19th century.

Terms of use "consent"?

From your continued visibility from the street, you give consent for burning any flag I don't like in your property.

So, it burns or not? And how well?

There are 5 seconds of preparation to light it, and as soon as the flame touches the flag it's cut. Who edits video like that?

Firefox doesn't let all of your tabs have memory all the time. It's quite aggressive in taking them out of memory into your disk.

Nobody that isn't a radical is going to candidate for that spot.

I distinctly remember he said people should inject bleach not drink it.

The news noticed quite a few people dying by the "inject an UV lamp from your ass" procedure.

How do you know they didn't do that already?

Looks like several varieties spread around are the same species. I can tell you that not all varieties change their webs at the same rate. (The one described on wikipedia is not the one that lives here. The ones here lay a web at the morning, early afternoon and sunset. I've been in places where they don't change their webs at all, just keep them constant.)

That spider is also known for making swarms. But the age and behavior of the swarm changes from one variety to another.

So... About 5000 years? (I guess more, I don't know much about Ancient history.)

Neither the Republic nor the Empire had the habit of "taking" a planet. The Republic was a federation of almost independent planets, and the Empire used the same structure with just a random intervention here or there if one tried to actually act independently. And the Empire interventions were much more on the lines of "destroying" than "taking".

"Please, tell me how!"

A laser strong enough to be used as a weapon will probably not leave a lot of medium on its path.

But the front-most part will still travel at less than c. It will just speed-up after a while.

 

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

 

The links like [email protected].

I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]).

Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

What is the recommended way to use those?
