Nah. I’m sure they’ll go straight for the 8-day work week. Gotta think outside the box here taps head

picked up No Man’s Sky the other week at 50% off and really enjoying it
My phone has IP68 with an usb-c and headphone jack, and the SIM/SD tray. Not a rugged phone though.
isn’t NATO a defensive treaty? which would mean no obligation to participate in actions of aggression?
was it brunost by any chance?
heh. TIL. thanks for that!
on licence. right, what’s that, then? will they have any other sort of restrictions once they get out at minimum 36?
Manowar had that one song titled ‘Pleasure slave’, if memory serves. No idea if it was a serious song or not. Those were some weird times for music.
I mean, all life on Earth is basically carbon based and that’s how oil formed in the first place, organic matter burried deep and left there for a very long time. We’d just have to find a way to put organic matter in the places we extract oil from now.
Living things already pull carbon out of the atmosphere (via plants, for instance - plants pull carbon from the air and nitrogen from the soil, and along with water build up all manner of sugars and proteins. animals then eat those and they become the building blocks for the animal’s body). They also put some back as byproducts of metabolism - CO2 for higher organisms, methane for some bacteria. Living things just go through a cycle and none of the carbon remains locked away, as it was in the case of oil deposits. All that oil was at some point huge hunks of living, breathing, eating, multiplying beings. So we wouldn’t actually need to form it into a solid rock before disposing of it.
I don’t know, maybe we can just dig an extremely deep pit and shove all our organic waste down there. Or make some very sturdy concrete tombs (similar to nuclear waste, minus the lead) and just seal it all away, but it’d have to be completely sealed so as not to seep into the environment around it. Or deep enough so that it won’t contaminate groundwater if it does.
because saying you’d need to build a power plant for every 72 homes would not make the technology very attractive
it certainly has some ‘war is peace, freedom is slavery’ (and all that) vibes
quoth Rage Against The Machine:
‘fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me’
especially the looting, that was done for the woman and the children. I bet they’ll donate looted items to some charity /s
Thank you. Your service is well appreciated!
It does appear to be more of a philosophical issue than a physical one. The beauty of it, as I see it, is that it doesn’t really matter if true or not. Even if true, pain and pleasure will still continue to be ‘real’, so will hunger or addiction, at least as real as we can tell. It won’t lead to any sort of mass detachment from existence or to any ‘there is no spoon’ moment.
I was going to say that finding out it’s a simulation would lead us to try and hack it. But then it dawned upon me that it’s what we’re already doing.
No matter what, business as usual.
I am also curious. On the one hand, if you tax any gains from it you should also make sure it operates within some legal framework. On the other hand, would anybody investigate a magic bean salesman for insider trading? Would they rather charge them with scamming?
It’s almost as if the ones that singled her out have no knowledge of history and the concept of martyrdom.
So they’re either stupid or actually agree with her ideas but still have to do their jobs, but in the worst way.
now now, no need to be dismissive of other age groups in this matter. I’m sure there’s plenty of non-teenager people that think the same way too. on the internet, nobody knows you’re a 74 yr old extremist
I mean you’re not wrong. But here we are. If you’ve ever tried to convince anyone of… well anything that conflicts with their views, you’re probably well aware that there’s no changing peoples’ minds.
So I guess my honest question is… what now?
Condensation shouldn’t be an issue as long as you’re not cooling below the current dew point.
However, after experiencing one of these underfloor cooling systems once, I can say that the biggest issue is that cold air tends to be heavier and thus stay down. So in order to cool the entire room, not just the layer of air right above the floor, you need something to move the air, which is probably why they’re providing fans. Either that or you can just lie on the floor all the time…
Floor heating works because warm air rises. I never understood why ‘floor’ cooling wasn’t piped through the ceiling, instead. There are probably some engineering or heat transfer issues there, though.
