Could you set a 1GB home partition on install and change it in fstab once install is complete and you're booted up?

You need focus, leadership, communication, and action planning.

Focus: You will have to choose climate change, flock surveillence, or social equality.

Communication: Dm people that seem like they could help, or believe as you do. Grow your organization.

Leadership: Choose or elect organizers by region or city so the people in your movement stay engaged. You need a central leader with impeccable morals/values. Dr. King is a good example to follow.

Action: Non violent protests, legal cases, and constitutional amendments come within reach when you have people power behind you. Plan and deliberatere internally to form a solid plan before going public; then don't back down.

I agree with you that almost no one wants free market capitalism, but for a different reason. A totally Free Market or Lazzie-Faire style of government oversight doesn't correct market failures.

An example of a market failure: between 2022 and 2025, the top 3 US egg producers colluded to raise prices above market levels, and the government intervened--with a lawsuit that ended with a $3.3M settlement.

A guy is given money to build rockets. If he used it to feed the hungry and house the homeless, it would be fraud. His unwillingness to steal isn't a moral failure on his part.

As Thalfon said, the Carbon 14 decays at a predictable rate.

So where does the starting quantity come from?

Radiation from space (probably cosmic rays) interacting with the atmosphere causes some of the atoms to become a different isotope. Plants integrate C14 into their sugars and cellulose, and when they are dead and buried by sediment, no more C14 is integrated. While buried, the plant matter is sheilded from further radiation, the C14 decays at a predictable rate, and we measure that. Meanwhile, underground carbon like coal and oil is also sheilded from radiation and doesn't get converted to C14; instead any C14 decays into C12. Thus the problem with Carbon dating after the industrial revolution.

It depends on the people in your group. If they can be courteous while tired, can wake up at odd hours with an alarm, pack light, and help you figure out which platform to get on, travelling by train can be enjoyable.

But if they're none of the above, take the camper, and plan potential stops to use restroom or get food--before you leave

You start on the right card, survive long enough to end up on the left card, and get murdered by a right carder...it only ends when a "strongman" or dictator comes to power...is it the French Revolution?

I don't think scantions work.

With as many participants as there are in the global economy it makes sense: the sanctioned country can easily change suppliers and not have to change policy.

Prior to the war in Iran, the US had sanctions on Iranian goods, especially oil. Iran has been selling mostly to China. Crude oil is about 56% of Iran's exports.

The point is, Iran still sells crude oil and makes revenue.

(I'm not defending Trump, he scrapped the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and (re)imposed sanctions on Iran.)
