Stop it!
I can't stand the cuteness!

Without knowing the density of the rock, it is uncertain. If it were super-dense, it wouldn't displace much water, but the resulting net weight of the boat would change relative to its displacement. If it had a very low density, it could displace more water than the boat's average displacement as long as it had a density more than water.

J, the privacy.io link goes to a domain name site.
Such a steal, too!

@XSGeek
Thanks. I'm now leaning towards doing a VM in AWS and caching it on some other web-facing platform.
One layer at a time, though.

Are there any free, online relational databases out there that I can trust?
I'm about to re-architect my COVID dashboard for San Francisco off of Google docs. This isn't a commercial venture, just a labor of love. It's going to be pretty small, with very little utilization as I'll be caching the results elsewhere.

If the 3.8B years that life existed on Earth were compressed to 24 hours, flowers would only have appeared at 11:10pm.

What if a government used AI to mold a society that has empathy and a morality that supports the peaceful progress of the community? This could be the more optimal governing policy than democracy. Plenty of pitfalls, though.

@Thumprhare
I recommend asking: "What is your moral position on this topic?" Do that before going down the rathole of arguing. There will not be any common ground until you surface that disparity.

@Arpad
If Nazis are on the moon then
Jewish Space Lasers make a bit more sense. Just sayin' 😜

What is right?
What is wrong?

Without a common moral standard there is no means to discuss the topic.

Those that lack empathy will not comprehend many morally-wrong issues.

It's not worth starting down that path until you first, explicitly, recognize the lack of empathy.

That might be the only common ground achieved during the argument.

Ask yourself when viewing the output from media: Does this show have a moral foundation, or are they feeding off of your primal fears?

Ask yourself when arguing with family members this holiday season: Are they starting from a position of compassion or empathy?

Other ingredients such as Eye of Newt!

You just drove by my workshop!

I say this because I know many people that think it takes intelligence to be successful.
Bad or Good, it's the outcome of these traits.
But, generally, people strive towards success. So, probably considered more "good" than "bad".

"Discipline" trumps "intelligence" as an influence on success.

There are plenty of successful people that are stupid yet disciplined.

There are plenty of unsuccessful people that are intelligent yet undisciplined.

And, those that are both intelligent and disciplined have the tools to do extraordinary things.

If there is a universal ethic in the universe, I wonder if humanity deserves its terrifying fate because it caused climate change.

Or, will an offshoot species - one that is less aggressive and less prone to stupidity - be the one to survive and propagate off-planet centuries from now?

@spacesloth
I will. Thank you. That's in the scope.
We're scoping out land in CO at the moment.

@CherNohio
I hope to extend the concept into California. Plenty of need to mitigate the effects of climate change in the wine industry.

@spacesloth
I'll try to keep CoSo informed as we make progress.
