“Would you rather have an average mediocre life, or a bi-polar life that swings between being a god and a pauper on the run?”

Love to know what your diet is.

I understand your view, I just think i fundamentally disagree with what makes “you” “you”. Good thought problem to chat about

Then by that logic, you die every time you lose consciousness or go to sleep. If I’m in one body, lose consciousness and awaken in another body, it’s really no different because I’m still me.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the same atoms or not, I am me.

And the air bladders have a leak that was usually dealt with by it being plugged in so it deflates and you’re left with a very flat and hard bed.

I mean it makes sense. If your legs were able to propel you that far but you lacked the skill to use it and faceplanted on landing, it’s gonna hurt. You could at least try to add a skill check for how well you land.

What does it matter if there’s new “anima”. I am me. It doesn’t matter if it’s my original body or another body. It’s whatever is my current frame of reference for the corresponding meat bag that I inhabit.

I really don’t understand the whole “well I died, and this isn’t me”… are you conscious? Lucid? Retain your memories? Then what does it matter?

“Well what if the original is still around or there are two copies?” Again, it doesn’t matter, because at that point they are two physically distinct entities. You only inhabit one of them and the moment you start experiencing different stimuli, you’re two separate people. Granted at that point there are some legal and logistical issues, but it’s not a metaphysical one.

I dunno, they might kick you out the first time you lick or bite them.

It’s the year 2039… Thames Water once again asks for permission to continue polluting on the basis of “we’ve been doing it for the past 15 years, we should be able to continue indefinitely”

It keeps happening regardless, so why not do what you can as an insider. You need people on all fronts against a facist regime

My issue is around video card. From what I’ve seen Linux drivers for the Arc B580 are minimal at best.

Correct taxation of billionaires and corporations + UBI + Universal Health Care

I mean ones a hand, and ones a glove. Do the math.

That’s how I’ve been. I know I’m dreaming, but unless I think something is egregiously wrong, I don’t bother to alter it and instead let it play out with the actions I think I should be doing.

every time any cloud provider goes down

Um, you’re not doing it right if that’s the case. Multi-cloud redundancy reduces downtime, it doesn’t increase downtime unless you’re doing something stupid like dividing up your SPOFs

It has, and I’ve been told “it’s a fluke” or “it’s not worth the effort”, followed by them freaking out with us being down and all the money we’re losing and what can we do about it.

He is extremely irritated that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize and is trying to strong arm an accomplishment.

My former company wouldn’t let me rearchitect our apps to be regionally redundant because “the cloud never goes down”. All their stuff is in us-east-1… wonder how they’re doing!

It’s even worse if you do a high speed train map. The US only has about 150 miles and even the. A chunk doesn’t exceed 60mph even though they call it “high speed”
