“Can’t we just jam this unreliable tech into your work that requires precision and consistency to somehow make it better?”

I imagine most US citizens won’t be aware of that but that US president also reached out to those foreign non-US owned private corps (like, here in France) that are doing business with the US gov telling them they should stop their local, non-US inclusive policy if they wanted to keep doing business with the US gov. That’s the new version of the ‘Land of the free as long as you agree with the boss’, I suppose?

The US shoved its war on drugs onto other countries so it shouldn’t be too hard for people to understand.

Nepotism is networking through family/relatives., and generally refers to the person doing the hiring being related.

I know it is because multiple studies have proven it exists.

Personal experience happens to be consistent with those studies.

Speak for yourself.

Then they would see the Earth at whatever detail was possible for them and nothing would be any different. Looking at another planet is like taking pictures of remote areas of our planet with satellites orbiting Earth, the animals and planets being phographed are inlmpacted in no way.

If you are asking about how it would affect the alien species to know people exist it would be necessary to understand their culture and biology first.

Having grown up in Kansas in the 80s and early 90s i met plenty of Republicans. My first election was 1996, voted against the Republicans, and have done so every election since because the party became even worse over the years.

Especially not that banned one.

Not all of the banned ones.

If you skip the LotR part of the title, sure.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi = six words and the first isn’t an R word.

Requeim I didn’t thi k was as great as everyone else.

Rise of the Guardians was cute, but meh.

Revenge of the Nerds is horribly dated.

Don’t think I’ve watched any of the others, and not sure what you were thinking of that prompted the post.

Don’t really love any of these, but was curious about which movies met the criteria.

Rebel Without a Cause

Requeim for a Dream

Revenge of the Nerds

Rise of the Guardians

Run Silent, Run Deep

Rookie of the Year

Unfortunately it’s too expensive to become the norm in reality

Only if we believe we all need to have massive amounts of stuff. The world did fine with making what people needed prior to assembky lines and outsourcing .

There are tons of cues that work as long as they are about what the person wants to do and not about how they are feeling or what led up to the cue.

Most nonverbal cues vary wildly between people and situations, which makes them useless when applied to strangers. Only focusing on the obvious ones is worth the time.

Some obvious ones:

• walking away to end a conversation
• stepping back (wants space)
• looking away and not responding (wants to be left alone)

Some inconsistent ones I frequently hear stated as facts

• crossing arms is being defensive (they could just be cold!)
• looking away, but still talking, is showing disinterest (they might have difficulty with maintaining eye contact)

It isn’t perfectly transparent. It has dust, moisture, and other particles in the air that block or deflect a portion of the light.

I had so much fun making the image I totally the words

The suns rays go through less atmosphere near the poles equator. Not to scale, but should show the overall concept.

Yeah, that sounds like a much better system.
