Whole house RO doesn’t really make sense. RO is very slow. It needs a reservoir to store the filtered water which depletes and replenishes in between uses. One shower would blow through a whole month’s supply of RO drinking water.
No need whatsoever to wash dishes or do laundry with RO water.
That’s the silicon-based creature from the S1E25 episode The Devil in the Dark.
As a life form based on silicon chemistry instead of carbon chemistry, it’s explicitly inorganic.
GPUs that Nvidia gave them the money to buy, as an investment.
When the shovel seller starts giving away all his shovels to the miners, he takes on all the same risks. Those GPUs will be worthless when those companies go belly up, and so will Nvidia’s ownership stakes.
I have no idea what any of this is but I’m very much intrigued! Beautiful!
It’s a fine hypothesis to suspect that turf causes more injuries than grass but answering that question by looking at where teams play their home games is the wrong approach. You’ll get a much clearer picture by recording where each injury happened.
One of the big issues with your take is that there are confounding factors such as:
The Roman calendar originally didn’t last all year round. It began in the spring and ended at the start of winter, and then the winter period just didn’t exist on the calendar.
Calendars were invented to plan the growing of crops, so tracking the days in winter didn’t have any purpose, so they left winter out.
The number of days in a week wasn’t chosen as an arbitrary number, it was chosen because it’s the length of 1 moon phase. 4 phases of the moon is 1 cycle (new moon to new moon), or 1 month (28 days).
The fact that we now have most months with 30 or 31 days is basically a hack to try to line up 12 months to 1 year (1 orbital period of the earth), but that was never going to work!
We definitely will achieve Ferenginar if the EU succeeds at becoming the world government. The thing everyone forgets about the Ferengi is that they don’t have unbridled laissez-faire capitalism. They have one societal government with a vast bureaucracy, with one branch highlighted prominently in the show: the Ferengi Commerce Authority.
The FCA is so powerful within Ferengi society that their best comparison in historical human society is probably the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
Spoken like someone who knows nothing about children.
Kids behave one way around their parents and a completely different way with their friends, when parents aren’t around.
It’s a nice sentiment but the truth is that education is collapsing in general. We can’t even teach kids to read, write, and do arithmetic anymore, let alone comprehend basic human rights, dignity, consent, and respect for others’ autonomy.
Look what’s happening to the world, with all the radicalism, racism, fascism, and all out assault on the working and middle classes with AI and automation. How are kids going to get any job (never mind college) when they’re multiple years behind grade level on every subject? We’ll be lucky if we can keep these kids out of gangs over the next decade or so!
Sustainability is long-term thinking. People affected by short term bias aren’t thinking about long-term at all.
Fast food is the perfect example. People living in a drought only care about the next meal, not working to grow crops that may never produce food. Environmental stress feels like a drought to the brain.
Don’t be embarrassed. Short-term bias is a problem across all human thinking.
Am not US but otherwise felt the same, for a long time.
Now recently road conditions have been deteriorating quite badly where I live. With potholes everywhere, sedans and other small cars with delicate suspensions just get damaged all the time by the road. This, along with heavy snow and slush in the winter, has caused me to rethink my stance.
The US is doing a far better job of destroying itself than any of its enemies could dream of. The US used to be the one smashing and grabbing everything in the world. Now they’ve somehow decided they’re getting ripped off by doing that. It’s pure delusion.
Canada just wants to move on. We don’t care about the US at all. Trump is acting like the ex who dumped us and then gets mad seeing us dating other people.
Nah! Speed limits are just a suggestion!
Maybe not now, but noted right wing economist Milton Friedman was a supporter of LVT.
Depends on when you read HN. Right now, I see a fierce debate about the evils of AI at the top. On the one hand there are folks defending AI and dreaming of the end of human labour, pointing at Wall-E as a utopia. On the other hand, there are others pointing out that the ultra-rich in the tech industry have openly expressed a desire to build a techno-feudalism with themselves living as kings, while the masses die in unemployed squalor.
Accountability and blame aren’t the same thing. Learn the difference.
Nope! Liberate yourself!
Seriously, take accountability for your own government.
Stay away from rice then!
It’s very sad to me, because I love rice!
