Realizing that the average computer user is incapable of unzipping a file and locating the documents after doing so boggles my fucking mind. How do people use computers for 10 years and not know the first thing about how to do anything?
This is like getting in a car after driving for years and not knowing what the steering wheel is or does.
The whole video is worth at least skimming (mainly to see the exercises they are doing), but this throw here is pretty impressive.
Yeah, sure, it’s in a controlled environment and it’s much harder to do that while actually fighting, but that still takes a lot of strength, balance and control.
By the way, these very, very conservative calculations, using a standard (simplified) insurance industry methodology, demonstrate that we should spend about 5% of world GDP right away on climate change.
I’d argue that it should be more than that, probably 5% per year. What I calculated is just a baseline for one-time insurance for a single, one-time, time-limited disaster.
The only living person saying much that makes sense is Greta Thunberg. Those who survive will look back on her as remarkably prescient as the rest of us failed to heed her stern admonishment while the world burned.
We were warned; we didn’t listen. Those who deserve it the least will be harmed the most.
No, I don’t know how bad it’ll be in the developed world. I’d guess only about 20% of those in the 0-16 demographic will die of direct climate-related causes (including war). I’d guess no less than 10% will. But the tail risks are unfathomably large and old people just don’t give a fuck.
Thus, I love that old people hate Greta because she exposes their hypocrisy, their myopia, their malfeasance. They know she’s telling the truth about what climate change will do, and to whom, and they cannot handle it. It drives them mad with rage.
And it's a common trivia point that one of Queen Amidala's handmaidens, Sabé, is played by a pre-breakout-role Keira Knightley, but it's far rarer for to mention who else is in that group… pic.twitter.com/mSXSjPhH4k

And the even funnier thing is that this screenshot actually shows Kiera Knightley as Queen Amidala, as one of her handmaidens (Knightley as Sabé) was pretending to be her for security reasons. Natalie Portman is the handmaiden on the right with her eyes looking to her own right (our left).
Knightley and Portman look very much alike, so it’s extremely hard to tell, but Knightley has eyes that are somewhat farther apart than Portman (easiest way to distinguish them in this shot).
