To stretch the household analogy a bit: If you're into homesteading, you care less about changes to your income or grocery prices.
The more self-sufficient you are, the easier you can shrug off external threats.
The flip-side is that self-sufficiency is hard work.

Yeah, I would expect bullet wounds to be distributed evenly over the body, given their inaccuracy, including legs and arms, whereas the bayonet would target more vital areas.
Plus once you get stabbed, even if not lethally, it's more likely your opponent will follow up with more to finish the job.
Even the folks over at r/SpaceX think this is stupid.
Doubling revenue is far from generous. By July 2025 they already hit 12B of annualized revenue.
Still quite a way from 25B of _profit_ they would need to justify 500B valuation.
Also, in 2002 Google had 0.4B in revenue. Not surprising; how can you make money off of an undifferentiated search bar?
Must've been a force of habit for both.
The recordings during Covid were a godsend. On 1.5x speed and with liberal use of pause, I could watch a 60 minute lecture in about 2 hours.
As a current (adult) student, I don't know how people find time to take notes during a lecture.
You need to:
1. listen to everything, it might be important,
2. integrate with what was said earlier,
3. summarize,
4. write,
5. check your notes.
Doing 3 & 4 kills my ability to do 1, let alone 2.
Even with a plan it might end up like s2e9 of Arcane, which apparently had 2x the material and ended up quite fast paced.
But Putin and Orban are Strong Men. Really strong, have you seen Putin on a horse?
And strong men create good times. There's never ever been any other result.
Q.E.D.
Finally the time for the ExcelCoin ICO?
ps. Congratulations on your Hollywood debut! ๐
Some WW2 vets were unable to handle the intro to Saving Private Ryan. I'm sure they would've liked a heads up, so I guess by your definition they were not an adult yet?
I'm not going to compare SA with Normandy (this ain't the trauma Olympics), but those victims would like a heads up as well.
