Wolves roam into Finnish villages after Google destroys 1,300 acres of forest for AI data centers — forest where wolf packs used to live is now an expanse of mud

It really depends on size of the team and equipment. Three guys with a hand saw, the trees will probably grow back as fast as they clear them. Three hundred guys each running an industrial feller, that's done by lunch and they've got time for some kebabs (maybe an exaggeration, but still).

If they snuck in a large enough team and clearcut, it's very plausible they could do that in a week or two without someone visiting and noticing.

France doesn't have a large population of the country jerking off their gun and ammo collection every night praying for a chance to use it.

The same population that was out shooting people during BLM protests are the same ones opposing action now.

New Trekkie here! Which series are the best?

Honestly, as a sci-fi nerd who has watched The Original Series (and many others) and loved it, it is rough. It's very much a product of it's time and you can see and feel that in everything. Costumes, scripts, acting, sets, everything. For example, the below image is an actual alien from the original series, as it appeared in the show.

Now, if you can enjoy the camp and enjoy the show for what it is, then sure, give it a shot, but just know going in what you're getting into.

I haven't looked into it super deep but my impression is some of the antisemitism was more anti religion in general and that targeted the Jews because they are very central to American religion.

But whatever the truth about him, no, I don't think it really showed up in the show. It feels very inclusive and truly utopian dreaming in many ways. There's the classic sci-fi trope episodes about looking beyond physical characteristics or dogma and judging a person based on who they are.

If you like camp then for sure give it a shot, just don't feel bad about stopping part way through if you change your mind either.

On the plus side literal Nazis get punched in one episode

Except this study is not peer reviewed from what I've seen and gathered data in very unscientific ways. There's no validation of answers and allowed users to just guess how much they feel they're being more productive. Like go read the questions, it's a person guessing at time saved. This study holds zero importance in the discussion in my mind because, as said, other MIT studies have shown people are actually incredibly bad at knowing how much time spent changed pre vs post LLM usage.
