Some projections are better than others. The Mercator projection at least has a use case that justifies its creation. This map has no purpose other than a political one.

Everyone with a cursory knowledge of maps knows there are inherent issues protecting a 3d object into a 2d surface. That’s fine because some projections are useful

Yeah, when I’m cutting I’ll do a fuck load of seitan, cut out the rice and have 300g of broccoli, with a flavoured with a ton of spices. Genuinely tasty and something I enjoy, cutting doesn’t need to be punishment.

Chains will usually ship the dough frozen from a central location, you then defrost it the night before you want to serve it. That means you need to project your sales for the next night otherwise it’ll go bad. If you get it majorly wrong you’ll be left with a load of dough that is bad

You can pay for a 3rd party to penetration test your app, it’s good practice to do this before you launch an app, after any significant changes, and annually at a minimum.

There are also a growing number of companies offering continuous penetration testing - basically, automated pen tests - but these are expensive and it’s difficult to convince companies that the cost is worth it

It absolutely is, it’s naive to think these puritans will just decide to stop here

Whilst WhatsApp is still owned by meta and I’m sure the US military would have a lot use for the metadata they collect, let’s be honest, I’m sure Putin would prefer if Russians switched to a platform they can spy on themselves

A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn’t THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).

You don’t know that, I’ve seen shadow contracts that apply to intergalactic scales. I would wager they can be used for interdimensional organisations

Yes it is, it’s essentially giving people with children extra votes to use.

Sure, but I want mature enough at 18 either. A lot of people aren’t mature enough at 40 to fully comprehend what they’re voting for. We don’t enfranchise people with votes based on their level of knowledge though, we do it if they’re considered active members of society - and 16 year olds are considered adults in a large amount of their day-to-day life

Who do you think makes all the gifts for Santa?
