  • Amongst stated reasons, “signing up” is more difficult here. Its not as straightforward a process and content isn’t as spoon fed to you as other platforms. The tech literacy needed to get here isn’t high, but as I learned the average tech literacy is abysmal.

    About 10ish years ago when I was 14, I helped some people print something. They tried printing something from a computer plugged into the printer, an error popped up saying “printer not connected”. I thought, thr printer must be, yknow disconnected. Some 6 people had gatherd trying to troubleshoot this but were stumped. I pointed out the error message that kept coming up, didn’t click. I followed the cables from the pc to the printer, it was disconnected, I plugged it in and reported back. They where stumped on how I possibly knew what was wrong or how to fix it.

    I am not good with technology, but im good enough to know im not good with technology. I have found most people, even those younger or same age tend to not be tech literate.

    Finding the application and filling it out for any random federated instance may seem like nothing but it requires an ammount of literacy many Americans dont have.


  • Yeah, I think objectively the “A.I.'s” are kind of neat, like those old desktop pal cats kinda of neat, cost almost nothing to run. But A.I. costs such an extreme ammount of resources to run enitre cities could be run in its deficits alone. We do not have the energy, water, or computers to run it, but something is bankrolling it.




  • I work as an educator for educators, its our responsibility to teach them everything they need to know. We commonly fail when associates dont ask questions when they dont know. Its nigh impossible to teach everything in general.

    What im trying to say is, hardly anyone can simply teach you everything you should know. Where does one start teaching? Look both ways before you cross the street? Dont trust the internet? There is so much knowledge to be learned and its hard to gauge what someone else may or may not know and what specificly they need to learn. It also depends on personal context what information is relevant to you. Street smarts for NY is different than LA, from suburbs to rural.

    The most important thing is to ask specific questions when you are unsure. Your on the right track, best of luck. and for most things in society there is hardly one empiricaly “correct” answer.

    Its tough but dor everything that you encounter that you are not sure about, what it means or so, ask, research. Its tough and skow goinf but thats how you learn. It takes a lifetime to learn and a lifetime to overcome bad learning.





  • The apollo era space suits (A7-L) where generally produced in an “EVA” configuration. It had protective, cooling and comfort layers but no mobilty enhancement. I would personally think they count more as a protective suit than a veichle, as compared to the MMU with mobility enhancing features.

    I personally consider the A7-L, not a proper EVA unit, it does not allow activity in space outside of a veichle or terrestrial body. An MMU veichle can be used to perform a wide range of activities outside the ISS wereas an IL-7, could not.

    ofc it’s all personal speculation and arguments can be made all around, thats just my take on it.











  • Thank you. I know how to get a copy of my birth cert (did it last year, promptly used it once and immediately lost it been on my list to do but ive been busy and its annoying because its a very manual process). Good point on the passport, dont have one because I never travel but as it is now I shouod keep one on hand, just in case.
