What year is it?
  • In more official settings they would also use the year "ab Urbe condita", meaning "since the City's founding" (city being Rome).

    59BC should be around 694 aUc if my numbers are right.

    There is no genocide in China
  • Have you read the report?

    I haven't read it all, but from reading like a couple paragraphs it says that the Chinese government is making mass incarcerations with accusations of extremism and terrorism, while these terms are not well defined and it appears that they are only targeting Muslims for their religion. Furthermore in these jails it appears that the Chinese government is doing things like forced injections, forcing people to take pills and other classics like torture, waterboarding and rape, invasive gynecological exams etc.

    Inmates are forbidden to pray with guards making rounds at night to ensure compliance, being forbidden to speak their own language or practice anything from their culture. Prominent scholars, artists and intellectuals are being incarcerated, people are forbidden to leave the region or to receive or send money from the outside.

    If it were Israel doing this, and they are doing this, you'd call it genocide, wouldn't you?

    Or doesn't Uyghurstan have the same right to exist as Palestine?

  • Don't get me wrong, I'm still very against conservative Muslims, as much as I am against conservative Christians, ultra-orthodox Jews etc...

    But it's clear that there's nuance, so like one can be a Christian and also be accepting of gays and trans people, one can be the same while believing in Islam. The ones I can't stand are those that use their preferred book to put themselves on a pedestal and be terrible to other people, but this trait is not limited to one specific religion, or even to religion itself.

  • A Staggering 19x Energy Jump in Capacitors May Be the Beginning of the End for Batteries
  • I mean, I wouldn't mind a car with "only" 200km range, but that can charge up to full in just 5 minutes. I use my car just for work 99% of the time anyway, the times I need to go somewhere further away I can easily stop midway to charge, get a coffee in the meantime and then be on my way.

  • Rabbit was once an NFT company that it wants you to forget about
  • On Pixel (but probably also other phones) you can press and hold the power button to summon the assistant. Put chatgpt or whatever as your assistant and you have a rabbit equivalent with one button summon.
