1. What movies would you recommend that have come out since Dune as that is the last movie I have been able to care about at all? This isn’t meant to be read as sarcastic, I’m being completely sincere I would like recommendations.

2. I’m not going to lie I just don’t trust non-indie series any more. I can’t trust them to not be arbitrarily cancelled part way through, or to be ruined after one or two seasons. There are too many burnt bridges and broken promises.

Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more and more stuff are soulless cash grabs. It used to be that games shipped completed, now they ship broken cost more and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that. The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune. Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.

What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?

If a cop can take your property with no consequences and you will be arrested or killed if you defend yourself and your property, then what the law says doesn’t matter as the defacto state of reality isn’t concerned with such petty things as laws.

Yes, imminent domain. You don’t own land you only lease it from the government.

I can’t believe it… THE AUSTRALIANS ARE STEALING OUR LAND!!! AMERICA IT IS TIME TO LIBERATE AUSTRALIA!!!

Brave or foolish?

The creation of a thing gives you no special power over how the rest of the world treats it.

In addition to what @Pons_Aelius replied, it is also used as a benchmark/flex for computers, as to who can build a beefy enough machine or good enough card to calculate more digits of pi.

The answer to your question is as simple as it is unsatisfying. Additional degrees of precision in construction are only as useful as your means to use them.

If you using your saw can only cut to an accuracy of 1/8 of an inch, than any precision beyond that point is lost as you are unable to actualize it

However if you are using a saw and you’re now at the point of your personal skill that you’re measuring to the inside or outside of the mark on a ruler, then it is likely time for you to graduate between more precise form of measurement.

This video covers a lot of the interesting points around measurement and how we can never truly be perfectly accurate with any measurement of any non-discreet metric.

To give a real world example if you are off by a millimeter diameter when building a car engine cylinder it will likely fail.

What word your looking for is a shibboleth, which of course is itself a shibboleth.

In most cases, local governments use direct cremation to dispose of unclaimed bodies and the cremains are stored for a set period of time. After being stored the cremains may be scattered. The Cremation Society of North America has estimated that there are currently 2 million unclaimed cremated remains in the U.S.

Some counties elect to bury unclaimed bodies. Typically, the body is buried in an unmarked grave that is county-owned. If a family member later comes forward the body may be exhumed upon request.

Other states allow for unclaimed bodies to be donated for medical science. There are also state laws that allow for the unclaimed bodies of veterans to be buried by third party groups.

This is for unclaimed bodies, if your body is claimed by your family then the cost is taken out of your estate or your family have to pay for it.

You wish it was free, not on your life bud.

This question is less interesting when in context of how we normally think about loved ones, being that they are around for most of your life.

When you immortal that’s no longer the case, you’ll eventually have a relationship with loved ones similar to a person who has had countless pets over the course of their life. The love a person holds for their pet is real, but it isn’t exactly the same as “the love of your life”.

Forever is a long time yo.

The real interesting question is after a century or two, when you start treating your lovers like an old man on his tenth dog.

Don’t be so dramatic, the moderators are divinely inspired forming an absolute monarchy.

The only proper political model to implement is a tychacracy where all decisions are governed by pure random chance. Every single post shall have the following.

20% the is removed

20% the post is untouched

20% the post is pinned. If the pin count is limited, pins are organized by first in first out.

20% the user is banned for life with no chance for appeal

20% the user is made a moderator

May the odds be in your favor!

Having made many models that were only slightly better than a coin toss, that’s really not bad. Especially since that’s not even their primary design goal.
