These brutalist churches are actually pretty cool and closer to proper christian asceticism instead of the faggy gothic pomp or the low budget version of a 'pittoresque' church Ludwig II would have ordered to built.

Reading close to ahistorical.

When Gorbachev took power in 1985, the shortcomings of the deficit-economies had long become blatantly obvious to their inmates. Polish martial law had come and gone, it had ended with concessions, not with a Warsaw pact invasion. As we have known since 2009, Jaruzelski had practically begged Kulikov. But Brezhnev-doctrine was over.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist…The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocation, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded"
We are remembered that one Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke about the perils of unchecked military-industrial expansionism, but the keepers of the historical record tend to omit the warning about scholar's being coopted by the warlord faction.

I can say the same about myself, at least for the last week. Trying to become decent at workers and resources, I play on hard, but I still make stupid mistakes.

>the soviet union sat on huge oil- and gas-reserves, but did not built super-yachts, because it could not afford them

Ok, and?

I'm pretty glad somebody did not feel the need to construct an unnecessary luxury item for an elitist circle just to make money by doing so. Again: how is that intelligent energy budgeting? It's been a waste of energy. All that energy was used to fulfill the desire of an elitist circle. Yoyu could have used that energy to produce something which many more people could have used and deem necessary or beneficial. Certainly the best resource allocation there is: using energy to ultimately make money - and it helps the people!

USSR had pretty developed science and industry. However, they were serving military industrial complex and not consumer economy, so quality of life was low.

The discussion about socialism vs capitalism is stupid, because big busyness has to follow state's will anyway. Don't you think that Rheinmetal, Gasprom or Google are independent entities? And small busyness is ruled indirectly, though regulations, fiscal and monetary policies. You could switch from mixed to fully planned economy and have local bakery micromanaged from Gosplan, but it will only make things worse.

Roughly like between farmer and fauna on his farm. He doesn't mind control his cattle, but he makes frames to keep it in stall, provides environment for it to grow and prosper and rips benefits from them such as milk and fur.
For big cattle such as horses farmer also cares enough to make strategic decisions, such as to mate this mare with that stallion. For smaller animals he doesn't make individual decisions and treats them groupwise (butcher 10% of chickens).

I've always had the idea in the back of my mind of visiting Swiss communes as if they were entities in themselves, and carefully documenting the visit.
I recently found some friends crazy enough to come along! I didn't want to flood the existing IWO thread, so I decided to make my own containment thread.


The rules :
-at each outing, the commune of the day will be drawn from this wikipedia list using a random number generator -> https://fr.wikipedia.org/[...]ommunes_du_canton_de_Vaud
-the designated commune cannot be refused under ANY circumstances
-during the visit, it is forbidden to leave the boundaries of the commune, otherwise the visit will stop
-you can't decide to continue visiting neighboring communes after the fact without having rerolled for a new and completely random commune
-if possible, only consume goods purchased within the commune during the visit
-draw up an exploration report when the commune is drawn, and complete it with photos and anecdotes at the end of the visit.
-Most of the visit are going to be made in the canton of Vaud
-Each time ther's a 20 percent chance that we're going to visit another entirely diffrent welsch canton randomely chosen: Geneva, Neuvchâtel, Fribourg, Valais, Jura or Bern.
-After the random canton have been selectionned, the commune will be chosen randomly using the same rules.

We're going to have a lot of fun!

It's even worse for that. Can't really play videos without tearing the stream, can't use gpu for vidoe codec, can't run games properly because no directx (no, opengl is bullshit and doesn't compare), etc.

Luckily, only old people even have home computers, everyone else has an iPhone and maybe a switch. (Android if they are paupers.)

>Can't really play videos without tearing the stream,

No tearing since the amdgpu driver is out so AMD GPU users can have tearfree video since a few years ago. On Nvidia the problem never existed afaik.

can't use gpu for vidoe codec,

see above.

can't run games properly because no directx

Most directx11 games are running fine with proton so if you don't need the latest dx12 games you will be fine. Some of the latest games even use vulkan API directly, no more directx.

CAD-SW: Having used AutoCAD at uni and FreeCAD at home i must say that FreeCAD wins hands down. That doesn't mean it's the best CAD-SW on the planet but good enough for many needs.

Office: ALL office-SW sucks. Microshit Office stinks but so does Libreoffice. I seriously can't decide which stinks more. It's like comparing dogshit with catshit.

I found out that training body part isolation is a good way to get that flowy movement in dancing while in the past I thought it mainly came down to stretching which according to a website is false and I think it is quite convincing. While a low flexibility hampers my attempts at making crazy cool kicks or floor work (I suppose, never tried because it's quite straining for my body rn) moving "the whole body" in dance comes down to controlling small muscle movements and coordinating them right.
I actually can see a difference after doing isolation exercises.

I used videos that teach you isolation for Salsa but found a Korean (?) guy who does videos on different body isolations for popping - the dance style where people can move robotically or like computer animations. Looks pretty cool in how controlled it is.

I lost 4kg the last week alone, from 90 to 86kg. In two weeks, my BMI probably won’t be in slightly overweight anymore. I just decided to just eat less, like three or four times less.
