The lucky sod.
The lucky sod.
Has it ever occurred to you the short bus Che Guevaras were farting the phrases because they saw this coming?
IIRC, that study didn’t conclude it stopped at 25, it expected it to stop at 18, but it kept going, and they ran out of funding at 25. A likely conclusion is that it never really stops, it’s just that what was measured wasn’t really development, but “change”.
IIRC, the secessions were preceeded by a period where it was sort of an open secret of what’s gonna happen, with stuff like future confederate generals transferring cannon stock to southern bases, and moving themselves and their families south, and the North by and large stood by and let it happen under the rationale that “we shouldn’t anger them, they may still come around”. To the point that, again, IIRC, the commander of Fort Sumter saw trouble brewing across the river and requested reinforcements just before the war, and was turned down.
I mean, that’s kind of what happened with the last civil war too.
You’d think so, but I guess they didn’t.
No, it did it’s purpose: it made headlines.
Give it another 20 years, then release it with an accompanying series of articles about “wow, check out all the fucked up shit the CIA used to do, aren’t you glad they stopped!”

Ternary computing is some serious alt-history fodder.

It’s like he became the opposite of King Midas.
It’s incredibly annoying, though, that you can only copy boards in the app, and when you do it makes triplicate of all the cards.
Why steal data when you can just make it up!
Everyone thinks they’re Hunter S. Thompson.
It’s just th enclosure continuing in the non-physical space.
