I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.

I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

The [email protected] community linked directly to the congressman’s Web page about it:

He seems to be quite proud of it by the title.

Unless the animals have developed a way to move for miles every day, there should be predators who are adjusted for the night side, and predators who are adjusted for the day side that would be well known and defended against from the prey on their side. For a sentient species, figuring out how to defend against one or the other shouldn’t be too hard.

What would be harder to defend against would be those predators who live in the twilight areas are close to both day & night.

To take this thought to the logical maximum, we are all under the stars, always. All buildings are ultimately outside, and therefore under the stars. Even in the sub-basement of the tallest building, the floors above aren’t that high compared to the atmosphere, and it’s still under the stars.

That is an excellent point!

Labor negotiations in the U.S. should be EASY for Stelantis. They’re Dutch. All they really need to do is say, “Hey, we’ll treat our U.S. workers just like our European workers, give them good pay & benefits.” I’m sure UAW would be more than happy to accept European quality pay & benefits

You’re correct of course. I would think that the company that is already adapted to European workers and are themselves European, could see the benefit of saying, “these American workers would like more pay and benefits. Let’s give them those”, rather than “We aren’t as good as Hyundai at EVs yet, let’s shut down plants and lay people off.”

Why the executives can’t understand that giving a little bit to help others, helps them, I’m not sure. I guess greed and fear get in the way somewhere in their minds. If they would meet the unions demands, and especially if they would actually take the climate crisis seriously, consumers would be falling over themselves to buy those cars.
