Convection works with all matter, just that we normally associate it with air. There is the question of conductivity.

No, it will stay overpriced because it becomes a part of the NASDAQ 100 on 7/6 and 401ks are then legally required to buy it.

Not sure on specifics but cop was apparently aiming at an unarmed crowd.

Edit: this is a good time to remind people that most stand your ground and castle doctrine laws specifically say you’re not allowed to defend yourself against a cop or a landlord.

The thing about Chernobyl was that it was, ultimately, an unwanted mistake.

The thing about AI is that the shitty mass casualty outcome seems like the intended outcome.

Because having a kid gives people a lot of leverage over you. Suddenly, you need to think twice about leaving a shit job or a shit spouse or a shit anything else.

Could you imagine being in orbit during an AI datacenter kessler collapse, and just getting smoked by an rtx 5070 travelling at mach fuck?

Nah, he let me try it. It just clicked off way easier than in any other model car I’ve been in.

I had a friend who bought a BMW a while back. The blinker literally didn’t stay on. You know how in most cars, you move the blinker and it kinda stays in place and blinks until you turn the wheel? Yeah the blinker in his BMW didn’t do that.

Like I said. I agree with your explanation.

My point is simple: when you say “it’s only cheap because…” Every CFO in the world stopped listening after the word “cheap”

Yeah. Exactly. Like I said: they build it in neighborhoods because it is cheap.

Cold as fuck and sparsely populated is another way of saying expensive as shit to do anything.

They build in neighborhoods because it is cheap.

That’s exactly what I said. It’s not about the money.

The point of a game of monopoly isn’t to have a comfortable cushion of cash, the point is to drive everyone else into abject poverty and own the board.

Institutionalization.

It’s like that one movie…pretty sure its Shawshank Redemption? There’s that one guy that gets out of jail and then commits suicide in a few months or so, because he can’t handle the real world after spending most of their life in jail.

I think work operates in a similar way…but the cruelty of the trap is that the things that make life worth living, i.e. hobbies, friends, a life outside of work, etc. kind of interferes with your ability to get that high level income you need for early retirement.

I think a lot of people that work even though they have the means to live comfortably for the rest of their lives are there because…work is their entire life. They have nothing outside of it. No purpose.

We talk about retirement as a question of resources: do we have the financial resources to live x years? What we don’t talk about is every other resource. Social, emotional, physical (in the does your body work sense) etc. Sure, you’ve got the house and the money…but your friends are all at work, and making new ones is pretty hard…even if you manage to make bank and retire in your mid 30s.

I thought letting pets starve to death was plan b for all cops?

Plan a is, of course, shooting them.

According to the laws of man, yes.

According to the laws of physics? Nope.

China quietly beat the USA in 2018. That was the year that China became the global leader in scientific output. Everything is downstream of scientific and technological advancement.

Cancer like cancer alley in texas, where life expectancy is a full decade lower than the nice neighborhood five miles further.

Gas plant pollution is currently responsible for approximately 21% of asthma cases in the country.

Yes it is.

Then again everything causes cancer. Aging causes cancer.

Yes, that is my point. It is completely unreasonable to make gas clean enough to not affect air quality. We do what we reasonably can. And that results in pollution.
