There was a plan to add one, just really late in the future.

At least, before it was cancelled.

Inflation-adjusted minimum wage in 1985 is $9.51. Still shit, but better than much of the US today.

1 MWh/mo is not out of the ordinary for an American home. The average is 0.87 MWh/mo. Inefficient appliances, bigger houses, and poor insulation are big factors. Of course, that’s America, not China.

Am I weird for drinking neither? If you’re not used to drinking them, you have to add so much to them to make them taste good, and I just never got into it.

Very occasionally I drink pop, so that and chocolate (a lot of chocolate) are where my caffeine consumption comes from, but the caffeine isn’t the point.

Sandy Loam??? WHO IS SHE

Deflation is really really bad. On a societal level, if people expect prices to fall, they will withhold spending today in favour of tomorrow. This decreases demand, decreasing prices, accelerating deflation until collapse.

That’s it, it’s horny jail for you. This is an abnormal amount of horny.

Which would conversely strengthen the idea that wolves hunt in packs due to the difficulty of hunting.

But wait, if a lone wolf gets 53% of the moose, but a pack of six gets 83% of the moose, then per-wolf that’s 13.8% of the moose. Why would an individual opt to hunt in a pack then?

Typo?

It says 200 mph in the description, or 320 kph. That’s respectable.

The global birth rate is falling. It’s still quite above the replacement rate, but it is not as high as it used to be; it has fallen.

This comment makes no value judgement.

It’s a person by person thing and I suspect age plays a large part in feelings towards the term. In general I would say avoid the term unless it is requested.

The most Linux response. Linux doesn’t fit your use case? Clearly your use case is wrong! /s

I find them useful for getting over that initial hurdle of writing documents. I can just write down bullet points, tell ChatGPT to turn it into text, and then revise almost all of what it writes because I don’t like the style and it misinterpreted a bullet point or two. I find that a lot easier than writing from scratch.

A successful organism would not have evolved to highly express cortisol to weed itself out in the case that it has a stressful life. It makes no sense for an organism to evolve a trait that makes it at best equally likely and at worst less likely to reproduce.

The reason we release excess cortisol in modern life is because our bodies did not evolve for constantly present stressors, they evolved to be stressed in a situation, run away from the tiger, and then you’re good.

Seems like that should actually be quite a useful task in the Netherlands considering all the polders!

This was always the risk with unfettered solar installation. You need policies that encourage energy storage in lockstep with renewable growth. You shouldn’t risk precarity of the grid by assuming the free market will solve the issue. Grid storage is a hard problem to solve, and capitalism is bad at those.

You believe in the moon?

That is the only way the rich and powerful know how to act. Because ultimately, might makes right under capitalism.
