Yeah I'm not really sympathetic to the sheer quantity of resources being thrown at this situation. The same resources could be better applied to so many other unaddressed problems. These (mostly wealthy) people made a risk and are paying for it, why do the rest of us have to pay for it too?
I never noticed the detail on that necklace, that it was a starfleet delta from Kirk's ship, and fashioned from electrical parts from the Botany Bay. So cool.
Maybe you're just growing up? As I get older I just don't have the emotional or mental capacity to really care that much about trivial knowledge anymore. Maybe you're sad to let go of a love and an obsession that is tied concretely to your now fleeting youth..., and that's a valid feeling. Ride it out and find out where you land maybe you'll pick up a new love or obsession.
Lol what a visceral metaphor. Yuck!
This is pretty awesome because the Admin of sh.itjust.works's handle is TheDude
Depends on the jurisdiction really, whether mineral and water rights are separable from the surface plot, and how "property rights" are defined and entitled. In the United States generally a property deed entitles you to exclusive use of the surface and soil. Surface water, groundwater, rocks and minerals beneath the soil (down tens of thousands of feet), and even air space, are wholly different sets of rights that may be deeded, traded, sold, or restricted. For instance in the western US (as opposed to the eastern states) surface water (creeks, streams, lakes) on your property may be entitled to a downstream user and is not automatically "yours" to use.
Right now, not much, I think? But since Lemmy is open source, instances may begin to form with new functionality as long as the core protocols preserve federation?
And then they build their own cottages, and mcmansions, and apartment blocks, along with all the noise and detritus... and now your cozy little cottage is just a house in bustling village
Now what we need are concatenated multi-communities where I can have a linkable collection of each of these overlapping subscriptions at multiple federated instances. In RES they were "multi-reddits" and they were my primary way of compartmentalizing and consuming content.
Badass response, thanks for sharing
