Willem challenged us to ask ourselves what we would do if we were living under Nazi occupation. Before all of this, I doubt anyone thought they would be complicit. I doubt anyone said to themselves, "nothing. I would cower in fear and do nothing."
But for 4 years or so we all answered that question again and again with our lives. Now here we are, answering it again... Every day. But it's no longer "what would you do during the rise of Hitler?" It's now, "what would you do after the invasion of Poland," and "what would you do after you knew about the concentration camps?"
For some people, the answer is still, "nothing."
But a lot of people have been brave in the face of it all. A lot of people have died, and a lot more will die. He will die, perhaps after a ruling by some court or other but, honestly, probably not. That's just how these things work out. Lots of people die, some for no reason, some because they stood up against injustice. A whole lot of people do nothing, until it's safe to claim victory... Until it's no longer safe to be on the other side.
That's just how these things go. Fascism is self-defeating, but it causes incredible harm on it's path of self-destruction. The more people who stand up, who risk themselves, the faster it collapses and the fewer it can hurt. That's also just how these things go. It's incredibly dangerous for everyone until enough people take some extra risk and make it safe for everyone again.
But that question still stands... Which one of those groups are you in? Are you proud of what you are doing, or will you look back with shame? Some of y'all have a lot to be proud of, but, if you're not, it's never too late to earn your way into that proud group.

Does anybody know of a locally hosted, open source, slop-free calculator tool that can do complex unit conversions from algebraic/text input similar to e.g. wolfram alpha, and properly handle SI prefixes etc?
Examples of things I want to be able to do:
1 / (10.3125 GHz) to ps (expected answer 96.97)
(50V / 10K ohms)^2 * 10K ohms to mW (expected answer 250)

I wonder if tall walls outside the zoo serve any zoological function. These next to green terrains. Or if they're just a matter of angry greed: "either you pay for a ticket for our whole huge facility, or you won't even see a single sparrow that flew inside."

Hittade ett angrepp av någon form av svampväxt på stammen. Jag tror jag stoppade det genom att torka av allt, pensla med rikligt med Atamon, och låta växthuset, och pumpan, torka ut lite. Nu ser den så där äventyrlig ut igen efter att ha sett lite moloken ut i några dagar.
Jag klippte bort 10 småpumpor från den, lämnade 4. Den svarade med att skjuta ut nya rankor åt alla håll.
Hokkaidopumpa, är det ett annat namn för 'hydra'?
