No worries, thanks for listening! As with all these things the efficiency bonus is slight, so unless you’re a heavy user it likely won’t represent a saving vs. the energy taken to make the kettle in the first place. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Out of my own curiosity… what’s an infusion?
Yes, kettles are more efficient at boiling water vs a microwave. On top of that, you don’t need to guess the time it’s going to take, it just goes until the internal temperature sensor reads 100degs and it shuts itself off with a little ‘clunk’.
Those numbers seem really sus. “We came up with some kind of bullshit metric magic algorithm and it turns out that if you look at people who score 10% of the average, that’s about 10% of the people!!!”
Uh… yeah buddy sure is.
This criticism only really works when it’s a woman speaking of their personal experience with men, not when it’s someone making a generalisation about all men.
Nothing was brought into the conversation, it was an all men/ not all men thing from the beginning.
Eh? State? Municipal? I’m talking about Wallingford in Oxfordshire.
Wallingford huh, I worked on an industrial estate by a Lidl there and it fucking sucked.
Thanks for the formatting, helps me a lot. I’ll do my best to have the discussion you want.
If it’s your opinion it’s your opinion. I don’t think that ‘wanting more power over more things’ is something inherent to socialism. All governments take power over things when they think it’s necessary. A particularly controversial example would be abortion restrictions. That is an extreme intrusion by a government into the literal organs of its citizens but to a religious capitalist it makes sense. Need more workers and more consumers after all.
I don’t see that there’s any meaningful difference between an interest free loan and a subsidy. Say the farmers don’t pay up and ask for another loan, are you gonna starve on principle?
Lots is wrong with dirt roads, they’re just inefficient. So much money and resource spent on fixing and maintaining vehicle suspensions and the extra time needed to go slowly which is all unnecessary with a proper road. I love trains but they can’t do everything, we’re not running tracks to every home in order for the mail train to come deliver your package etc.
As for private parties, this is also just the least efficient way to do things. Roads need to be compatible with each other, have the same spacings the same areas for communal services like electricity water and gas and so on. Who’s gonna enforce all that with no profit motive? It would have to be a government entity, at which point the government might as well just build the roads in the first place and charge everyone a general usage fee, but since it’s a government this is called ‘Road tax’ and is already implemented in most European countries. This isn’t even socialism it’s just the basics of what governments are for: taking care of ‘societal chores’.
Your point is not very coherent, I’m struggling to understand you due to how much you’ve written and the lack of formatting.
Some brief things to pick out:
Corruption is not just a socialist thing it’s everywhere. India has huge corruption problems and is capitalist.
Taxes are not ‘accepted feudalism’ they are the basis of communal living. Even anarcho-capitalists recognise the need for roads and farming subsidies.
You’re right that good can be done in any system but the idea of all of this is to find a system that encourages good and discourages greed. If we could rely only on everyone just deciding to be good there would be no need for any politics. You’ll notice this has never happened in millions of years of human existence.
I remember when i first started using GIMP the thing that threw me the most was that there was no ‘safe default’ state that you could get to by pressing escape, like ‘select’ is for other programs.
If you think this is a small thing consider that escape/back is one of the only 3 default controls on phone UIs. It’s super important and Gimp doesn’t have it.
On your link there, I’m sorry to say the author is making a very silly argument. It boils down to ‘if you see a specific race in this racist caricature then you’re the real racist’. This would only be true if racist caricatures were a new thing never seen before. It’s akin to saying ‘oh i didn’t mean black people when i screamed the n- word. You’re the racist for thinking the n- word refers to black people’.
That’s an extreme example but you see my point that there’s a history that’s being ignored.
Worth pointing out, this specific kind of attack targets a device based on its mac address and sends it shedloads of junk requests. There is no chance of it interfering with emergency wireless transmissions.
That said, i agree it’s not OK to mess with other people’s devices like this.
We only work on orthographic! Specifically isometric.
Do you have a means of securely and reliably getting it? Cause I don’t.
You really come across as coming from a place of privilege whilst lamenting that the reason poor people are worried about this is because they’re just not as nice as you.
Believe it or not I need to eat food. Crazy I know.
They’ve all already done that haha. You could argue that a human has only one life in which to remix that art but an AI is theoretically immortal, so it’s a different category of customer.
At any rate, it’s clear that AI should not have free access to copyrighted works, like news articles, academic papers, stock images, and various kinds of non deviantart art.
Unironically yes, if AI companies paid for training data everyone would be much happier.
I sincerely doubt that NOBODY is willing to sell data to them. It’s far more likely that they have not offered anyone a fair price yet, which makes sense because that would set a precedent.
Even then, if people don’t want to sell them their copyrighted work then tough. You can’t compel people to take customers they don’t want.
This slogan is explicitly about erasing the state of Israel. Regardless of what you think about Israel’s right to exist, it’s not going anywhere. So this slogan just entrenches everybody further whilst more innocents die. It’s dumb and I wish people would recognise it for the anti-praxis that it is.
Incident occurred in West Virginia

There’s buttloads more states of matter than that dingus
Oh neat, how do those kettles that have a temperature selection thingy for different kinds of tea work then?
