These also have no real inputs and outputs, so it’s hard to see how they could have some kind of consciousness. Still, brain organoids have been a source of ethical debate since the beginning. The assembloid things mentioned sound a little riskier yet.

Most European languages have no equivalent, since everything is gendered, not just pronouns. Efforts to embed equality in those languages go the other way - adding female gendered terms for male-dominated professions and vice-verse, as opposed to removing gender which is just too hard.

Russian in particular is spoken in places where they’re hostile to the whole idea. They have a neuter gender, and you might see it used in a mocking “it” kind of way for queer people of all kinds.

For languages outside the Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic families it’s usually a moot issue; 3/4 have no grammatical gender features at all.

You do have “regions” already kind of filling that niche. MENA, Europe, Central Asia, East Asia and so on.

Wow, very cool! Absolute poggers.

“It’s an end-to-European solution,” says Alessandro Giovannini, an ECB official. “All the engineering will be 100pc European, and it will be distributed by euro banks.”

Hmm, I should open a European bank account. It could help if I’m every visiting family out there, anyway.

No way it would fit into those two decimal points, though.

No, not usually. IIRC the only births ever were at a Chilean outpost, and they were trying to make a nationalistic point.

And then at that rate, Greenland could be counted, or Australia and Antarctica left out.

Wow, Asia’s still ahead, I wouldn’t have guessed that.

Which open source projects have large expenses? Buying the creator a coffee is nice, but if money is actually required for something to exist I’d rather give there.

Right now I’m poor, but maybe someday I’ll be in the same boat as OP. My Lemmy instance and Tor come to mind, and then maybe Wikipedia, although I know their aggressive fundraising has already worked.

Edit: Oh shit, the Invidious instance I use should probably go first.

Wow, the new Bug’s Life looks lit!

I had the lack of appetite for sure, but the other things not so much. Maybe give it a try, at least, if it’s definitely an ADHD issue?

Wow, that’s quite the precision reference.

Thanks. Honestly I was just excited to nerd out about geology, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised this website I’ve never seen before does clickbait.

Wow, that’s a better abundance than I thought - I guess it really concentrates here - although still not that impressive. The major natural source of it and it’s friends beryllium and boron is literally the nature particle accelerators out there in the cosmos, and the collisions they create, for example in our upper atmosphere.

The rest goes under “things other than abundance”, which I did mention. Bismuth is a cheap element because it concentrates itself in veins and has limited applications, despite being comparably rare to silver. At the other end titanium is more common than all forms of carbon put together but is an absolute PITA to concentrate into metal and then manufacture into products.

A million? It will break.

Ten or a hundred thousand would be good, though. I expect as it grows it will follow the community trajectory of Reddit pretty well, although we’ll know not to nominate ourselves detective when there’s a marathon bombing.

Depends where it is. Where it is in this case, it seems more likely than not it’s on Crown land, so yes, until a producer buys it from us.

Canada is a first world country, so no.

It’s one of the most abundant elements out there

I mean, it’s not. Either in the crust or the universe - stellar nucleosynthesis skips straight to carbon.

Your point still stands, though, since abundance is only one of the factors that goes into how easy something is to recover.

That potential would place Cisco among the largest hard-rock lithium prospects now being tracked in the James Bay region.

That’s way less impressive than the headline makes it seem.
