Do souls have sizes, like "you need at least the soul of a medium sized dog or pig"?

Because if every soul is worth equally much, just set an anthill on fire and be done for the foreseeable future.

Of course, as your next course of action, you should make up for the damage done to your local eco system, but that should be doable within the powers and lifespan of a lich.

I want my vehicle to be sapient enough to moan when I whip it

Compared to (parts of) the US, we might aswell be.

Why the downvotes

I for my part downvoted because it's just false equivalence. Cutting down a part of a commercial forest is pretty far from completely cutting "every single forest" in Sweden.

Is it great that trees were cut down without replanting? No.

Is there a perfectly cleared and infrastructurally connected plot of land in Brandenburg that Tesla could have used instead? Also no.

Your comparison was basically the same as "We sell a plot of land to Elon? Why not just sell every plot of land to him then!".

An extinguisher that can actually handle Lithium fires though. A regular CO2 extinguisher wont do anything against burning Lithium

Fair enough. Im in devops and the first thing I thought about was Jenkins, where "server" and "agent" fit quite well.

I dont think master/slave is that good of a naming scheme for fault tolerance either, since the "slave" doesnt do work so that the master doesnt have to, but it's rather an active/reserve kind of thing.

But I also admit that using different terms that fit best for every usecase would only cause more confusion than good.

We're using server and agent, but im also a proponent of "captain" and "crew"

The same kind of idiot that conveniently ignores all the hormones in meat and dairy used to maximize profit

Im running Ubuntu on a Surface Pro 5 (i5 7300u, 8GB) with the linux-surface-kernel.

Generally, things pretty much worked out of the box, the only tinkering I had to do was to optimize battery life / cpu power usage when not plugged in. Theres packages that will limit your CPU frequency depending on the status of your battery. I dont remember the exact name, but it was pretty much the first hit I googled "linux limit cpu power" or something like that. Without that, the battery life wasnt great, especially when watching YouTube, but with some tweaking and the proper h264/h265 drivers, my surface achieves some 3-4 hours of video playback right now.

Other than that it's smooth sailing all the way.

I am in fact German, I just wanted to make a joke that pointing out AfD being russia-financed nutcases will yield very little effect in a community like this one, because this sub is just as much a russian propaganda asset as r/conservative is over on reddit.
