  • Gambling addiction is about the high like any other addiction. It comes down to brain chemistry, and personality. There’s the high from anticipation, and a second from the payoff just like every addiction. Gambling is just easier than most because it’s money, something we all have to use. Like food addiction, it’s something we all need to consume.

    That and dark energy. Although this may apply for cosim super-voids and not a void in a cluster, but the expansion of space is faster in areas of space that have less mass than cosmic strings. So if someone built a ship and tried to enter a void they would have to overcome the ‘escape’ (not really but I don’t care enough to use the correct terms correctly) velocity of the galaxy, and the expanding space ahead of them.



  • Well as it turns out, when Padme Amidala dies she is actually resurrected a long, long time after her death, in a galaxy far, far away. On a planet named Earth, it’s just their word for dirt, in a city called Jerusalem as a actor named Natalie Portman. Who will try to walk the line between Israeli citizen and international celebrity actor. Unfortunately for her when Hammas attacks Israel and Israel commits a genocide in response Natalie Portman doesn’t join the anti-genocide side. Padme Amidala isn’t a Zionist because I don’t think Earth has humans when Padme is alive.



  • My advice as someone who’s server is so large backups aren’t feasible at my price point. Ensure that things you care a lot about, photos, family videos, tax information, things that can’t be replaced have a proper 3-2-1 backup solution and test it periodically. Nothing worse that putting all that effort into a backup then not being able to recover.

    I do not recommend backing up media, like movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and music. Use a 2-1. Have two copies of the data with one offline. I have over 20Tb of high-res media and it would cost more than it’s worth to me to backup that stuff. So I don’t. I can just redownload The Lord of the Rings, I can’t redownload the video my parents took of me in a childhood school play.

    While a prevalence of 0.8% may seem like a tiny amount but when applied to a large population it’s a significant number of people. Let’s say a city has a nice round 100,000 people, a small city by any measure. That’s 800 people, not such a small number anymore. The lives of those 800 people are worth thinking about. Granted in the context of a larger population but it’s still something.
