It’d be good to have high speed rail but not at any cost.

A Whopping $900B Debt - China's Once-Profitable High-Speed Railways Now Heading Towards A Trillion Dollar Disaster
China’s long-distance high-speed rail (HSR) is hailed as the fundamental tenet of its initiatives to recover the country’s coronavirus-affected economy. The government’s goal is to expand further what is already the world’s most extensive high-speed rail network. Recapturing Alaska!

I question whether this is real, is there a link to the source article to try and verify it?
Why didn’t they simply make the car cheaper without software locking features?
Seems like a bit of a lousy move on the part of Tesla
Divinity Original Sins 2: An unbelievably awesome game
Divinity Original Sins 2: An unbelievably awesome game - Lemmy.world
Recently I’ve discovered the joy of CRPGs, having previously only dabbled in them without spending any significant time on the genre. With Baldur’s Gate 2 just around the corner, which I’m sure many of us are hyped for, I wanted to try a similar CRPG to get a feel for whether I’m going to want to play it. Enter DOS2; this game is made by Larian Studios, the same studio making BG2, and is an absolutely incredible game. From the graphics, which are stunning even 6 years on from release, to the combat which makes you think about your moves in a manner similar to how you might do in a game like chess, and best of all stories which are for the most part genuinely interesting. I frequently found myself surprised at events / characters / quests I found throughout the world, even small things like hearing someone screaming nearby then discovering they had been torn to pieces by voidwoken. I recently just finished Act I and just started Act II but wanted to share a bit of love for this game as it is an absolute masterpiece with a well deserved 95% positive rating with 144k reviews on steam [https://store.steampowered.com/app/435150/Divinity_Original_Sin_2__Definitive_Edition/]. gameplay [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8dfb64bd-cfa5-41e3-b4f3-f51d09c03dad.jpeg]
I’ve only completed Act I and can’t believe Act II will be even bigger, there’s already so much to do in Act I.
Are there only two acts in total?
After DOS2 I plan on playing through Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and then maybe Pillars of Eternity 2
Did you help Slane the dragon?
Also that, according to the WHO, processed meat is carcinogenic and red meat is probably carginogenic so people are giving themselves cancer by eating it.

Why a cure for ageing would benefit everyone and not solely the ultra wealthy
If you put aside ethical and humanitarian reasons for making a cure for ageing widely available, there is still economic considerations, i.e. if you are a government you will be presented with a choice between:
Do I pay to treat people for ageing, even though the treatment might initially be expensive, or do I let them age without intervention?
The former option might actually be significantly cheaper because people in an advanced state of ageing cost more money. They have more diseases, since many diseases are age related such as dementia, cancer and cardiac disease, and need more healthcare and also can’t work anymore.
If instead, the government pays for rejuvenation treatment they save on all the other healthcare costs and their people don’t have to stop being productive.
So perhaps in the future when a cure for ageing is actually developed it will be made available for everyone rich and poor alike
“Thus, rejuvenation by age reversal can be achieved, not only by genetic, but also chemical means.”
