There must be adrenaline in those things, I just can't get enough.
Elden Ring is nice because it can go do something else if you don’t feel like fighting such and such.

Around 700 vehicles are stuck at the Crimean Bridge trying to leave occupied Crimea after overnight attacks in the Kerch Strait.

They’re hitting the logistics required to supply Crimea. They’ve attacked cargo ships and the land route. After the earlier attacks on the bridge it was never brought back up to full capacity.

The issue is you made this comment:
> Radiological harm being often overstated Incorrect, if anything, understated
We’re not arguing that DU isn’t toxic, just that it’s probably not due to its radioactivity.

The AI data centre boom built on a mountain of hidden debt — Big Tech is spending more than space-race levels on AI infrastructure, but hidden loans and commitments mask the true financial risks
They’ll just convert the data centers into prisons.

Why is leadership valued so much over expertise?

Are you just unlucky in your experiences? Expert team leads can absolutely make as much as managers.
But there’s a convergence as you spend more and more time making decisions and directing others that you will effectively be a manager.

High level and well paid experts do exist, particularly in tech companies. The reason it’s rare is because actual expertise requires both talent and effort. Very few people qualify.
Management is also a skill. And it’s arguable a more useful skill since it’s more transferable than a narrow focus. At very high levels you have a lot of responsibility figuring out where your company is headed.
Also traditional companies don’t typically have knowledge based employees. There’s a limit to what high expertise can bring. This is what has led to management as the promotion track.

A good plan with average people can still succeed. You’ve built a mediocre house. It has some value.
A bad plan with the best people will fail. You’ve built the wrong house. It’s worthless.
That’s the thing with management, they have impact beyond themselves.

If you have the money it’s actually quite easy because there are lots of people happy to sell you a house on commission.
If you’re poor then go fuck yourself I guess?

Who cares about time complexity
This isn’t sufficiently enterprisey for Java. There should be a Roman numeral factory followed by relevant fromString and toInteger methods.

I imagine it’s like someone building a computer today. You plug in all the relevant components together but it doesn’t require too much expertise.

China to hike tax on condoms in attempt to boost falling birth rate
Humans have a natural drive to procreate (not just have sex), so if your population doesn’t want to have children, maybe look at what you’re doing to make them avoid this natural proclivity.
I’d argue the only real solution is a longer leave for both parents without affecting their careers. But it’s generally just not doable with their corporate culture.
