Commendable. I don't recommend it, but I commend it.

I don't think enjoying the movie somehow supports eugenics. The premise is about the correlation between education level and demographic trends, which is a real thing. The reproduction rate is well-known to be correlated with women's education specifically. Regarding eugenics, historically, the issue there was forced eugenics. That's a much different thing.

I didn't realise anyone still uses facebook. Like in developed countries I mean.

Betteridge's law of headlines strikes again

I think it also depends on how hot it is, since anything more reflective (a white shirt) is also more insulating. So if it's just kind of hot out, black would probably be better.

Imagine if jobs weren't tied to survival. Like, imagine people got paid for whatever they did. Raise a kid? Government sends you the wage. Community work? Fill out the wage application, describe what you did, wage. Work some job? Wage. Overpaid? Taxed more. Underpaid? Subsidised. Sat on your ass and charged other people rent? Jail.

Then consider what it would mean for ai to take over a bunch of jobs. More money into the pool to pay the wages of creative work, community work, and say UBI. Tech improvements would be celebrated. The economy would be democratised. We'd all benefit.

What is the two element set where the first element is the best possible question I could ask and the second element is the answer to that question?

Perhaps, but if everyone is correct and he's a symptom of much bigger issues, then holding out might be a huge waste of time.

I'd go a step further and require labeling meat as having come from an animal. So the source of food would have to precede the term, such as "cow burger", "pig burger". Can do the same for milk. Make all dairy farmers put "cow milk" rather than just "milk". It's way less confusing that way. Include a warning that the product contains lactose. Instead of a logo to signify vegetarian products, make one to signify animal products. Use the silhouette of a horse or something.

I was wondering the opposite actually. How was that thing flying for any amount of time in the first place? I thought maybe people are desensitized these days, but there's probably a useful distinction to be made between the ones who make a big stink on social media and the ones who take useful action.

There are good lists of alternatives out there. For Germany, I like this one: https://lmaa.space/

Base 10 is nice for crossing regimes of scales, orders of magnitude. But we don't really engage with temperature that way. The problem I have with F-heit on its own, is that it's much too precise. The difference of a degree is meaningless, especially when considering weather. Fahrenheit weather maps are cluttered, dials and buttons on thermostats and in cars are slow, thermometer readings change too frequently, etc. USian shoe sizes have the opposite problem. If you need to use half sizes all the time then FFS just multiply the scale by 2.

Boycotting Amazon is that sweet middle ground you're looking for.

God we really need to produce fewer cars. It's out of control.

110,000 m^3^. About 240 m^3^ per day.

For simple batch edits, resizing or conversion it's amazing tho.

I'm certain OP meant Dutch.

For anyone who doesn't immediately have a clear idea of what 2.5 billion redneck units of water is, it's about 10 million m^3 or 6 Roman colosseums of water. About 1 lake.
