    Totally and it’s a great illustration how diversification is crucial for any organized system. If we started to diversify earlier we not only would have more economic power now but avoided thounsands of conflicts as well.

    Though a bit of optimisim here - seems like we learned this lesson and most countries are taking energy hedging very seriously these days. I don’t think we’ll ever have a new resource like oil again.

    I’d agree but oil is absolutely next level to all of that. Entire countries are basically held hostage by energy supply which was never the case before. You could cut off trade and that’s the worst thing you could do but now you can fundamentally disable the entire country as oil is so fundamental to everything.

    Oil was such a massive security mistake that we’re still collectively recovering from it.

    Nah you can’t do laundry fast enough to not sleep in fur constantly. My dog has his own bed and he’s short haired and still I have have several air purifiers and clean at least once per day to maintain everything. So people who sleep with cats are straight up hoarder territory of nasty imo lol - tho I don’t judge as connecting with an animal like this might be well worth the mess for some people.

    Generally not a big fan of this type of writing especially when it’s so wrong.

    I’m an old software dev who grew up with curl but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone new. It’s extremely dated UX that takes a long time to figure all of the quirks out. You will fail thousand times over and is a http client CLI really worth days of your time learning?

    Libcurl itself is brilliant but there are much better front ends for it like hurl or alternatives like httpie - use those instead.
