Don't give him what he says his life goal is (die on Mars). It would be way more terrific if he died in a supercar crash (like the one he had in 2000 with Peter Thiel as passenger in a $1M McLaren F1, the fastest production car back then).

Horror story

There are no Teams servers on Mars and the client will time out before radio signals can reach Earth. So any copies of Microsoft Teams on Mars are just a waste of storage space, and not very terrifying compared to "actual" malware that could be in the same storage space.

The screenshot is from Slovakia and my country is culturally closest to it, about as close as the average pair of neighboring US states. Like most Czechs, I know a few Slovaks and can understand 99.9% of Slovak without tools, so I looked up what My Doctor is using primary sources. (Yes, the two languages are so close there were serious efforts around 1920 to classify Slovak as a Czech dialect)

Friendly criticism: I do appreciate your activity all over Lemmy but since you're effectively just agreeing with what I said, I suggest you simply upvote and move on. That's why upvotes were invented: to stop comments akin to "+1", "I think the same" or "agree", which clog up threads.

America vs Europe: Two Ways to Build a City

One cited paper is from 1889, predating this whole graphics style by about a century. The graphics are probably what an AI made as a response to "illustrate this text passage" or "redraw this figure as vectors". (Yes, this one probably generates vectors, otherwise the font families would be inconsistent within images, not just between them)

What person would label a human as "1.75 m"? We know what a "human for scale" is. Also, every single graphic, despite credited to the same author, uses a different scale marking: zebra, bar, tick, snaking (and then ignores it). The fonts differ too (look at every capital R) but oddly not within drawings, it seems to be an AI optimized for vector output.
