Hi, Welcome here

Here is the good old video about how the fediverse works https://framatube.org/w/4294a720-f263-4ea4-9392-cf9cea4d5277 it will make you understand why you see @something in people user-name and hwy you have a local and global feed

So not more complicated than in most European nations?

Here I have a pre filled form, check the numbers and done.

The hard thing when you have lot of thing to do, and have no idea where to start. Is to decide that you don’t need a plan, take a task, do-it and then do the next one. Then the other thing is to realise that everything can’t be perfect, that some stuff will be late and other will be barely passing

Define free-speech.

It always has some limit, typically hate speech, deffamation, and crime apology are off-limit

You should read about the mediator, an amphetamin derivate prescribed for weight loss from the 80’s to 00’s which had deadly side effects and was withdrawn with an estimated death toll between 500and 2000patients.

The pharmacy company owner even got jail time for pretending their product was safe

I am not a pharmacist but the concept looks pretty similar to ozempic

Like any other medical question, talk with your doctor. 10 years of med school also teach them the difference between a job which sucks and a burn out for early sign they may refer you to a therapist and give you a short sick leave (2-3 weeks) which is better than waiting until you can’t work anymore and end up needing years of sick leave/therapy to recover

A distribution is gaussian until proven otherwise. Is a great shortcut into statistic. It’s also why something as simple as the Chi^2 test works very often. No need to tune a complex likelyhood function or set a neural network, you can use a simple method which in many case is good enough

Ironically, nowadays, it’s easier to get the LP. I buy them directly at the concert, and they come with a bandcamp voucher so you can also download the album.

For more popular band, you now get very nice albums fulls of goodies, which also feature a CD

AI bot love story aren’t different from crush on other fictional characters/celebrities . If you’re aware of it, tons of people enjoy romantic comedy or even dark romance and it’s fine. If you’re not aware of it and are above 12, it’s a serious issue, and your friend need to talk with a mental health professional

Politeness would be eat it, thanks your host, tell it was good

If you’re alone at home, compost bin may be an option (same as *too much food)

mbin (For example fedia.io) federates with both Lemmy and Mastodon, and as a nice UI. I have a backup account on-it, worth a try

There is no complex algorithm, but community you follow, upvotes and time

300 light year is the planet direct neighbourhood, not intergalactic.

Nobody said supra conductors ?

While being used in some niche field (mostly MRI) the ultra-low temperature needed means there is only very few case where the price of cryo-cooler offset the elecricity costs

I’ve seen a road map at the start of iter which was actually more. 30 years to get a stable exo energetic plasma, then 30 years to build a demonstrator able to produce electricity, and then 30 years to have industrialised fusion plant.

The thing is how is a flying car different from a aircraft?

We have (ultra) light aircraft not much more expensive than a good car, we have helicopter with vtol abilities. Licencing isn’t that more complex than for a car.

The problem are the maintenance cost as a failure would be dramatic, and the noise meaning people don’t want them over their bacxyard/balcony

The very slow is the issue. Assuming we can reach 10-20% of c, we can reach a couple of nearby stars in 200 years (Wikipedia gives me 50 stars with 30 ly).

200 years is roughly the time from the Napoleonic era from today (Taking an Euro reference). Do you remember what your ancestor were doing during Napoleon Russian campaign or when US purchased Louisiana?

Society changed massively since Napoleon. Over 200 years the society culture of a generation ship would also drastically diverge from ours. Moreover, I can’t think of many piece of technology which can keep working for 200 years without a few massive overall.

I know enough physics to say no Even inter-Stellar is out of our reach (without generation ship).

We have zero reason to believe in an effective way to build wormhole, jump gates or anything similar. Even high energy cosmic rays have a limited range (due to collision with photons) which is a strong clue that there is no shortcut in space

While I can see many things with price tags well above 100 Million US$. Like planes, hospital, semi conductor lythography machine. A single person owning them is a problem per se.

Moreover, almost every serious project of super rich net worth tax isn’t capping your wealth, but just making sure you pay 1-2% of your net worth as takes which is still way less than everyone else, and won’t prevent you to get richer investment capital growth.
