Half way through your comment I got worried you were about to claim you could charge your EV off its own internal outlet. No joke, I’ve seen many people on car forums saying EV companies are idiots for not making them self charging.

Clearly we should open up usernames to be an unlimited size set of mixed data types: e.g. the first “character” could be a hand drawn picture of a cat, the second the entire text of the US constitution in unicode, and so on. We could then e

You can add custom charge cycling on a schedule if using the Chargie app. One could for example have it normally stay at 50% but do a full charge/discharge cycle weekly. Overall though, it would probably make the most sense to physical

I should have done a better job of adding some caveats to my recommendation of Jung- for example that his perspectives are indeed heavily biased through the lens of his own philosophy, and he mostly ignores things important to Nietzsche tha

Kaufmann's are the best, but also still not good. Along with the translation he wrote detailed notes and commentary, and it is clear from that that he was often just completely missing Nietzsche's actual point. The main thing Kauf

There are no really easy answers there... What I referenced above is the book I recommend, "Jung's Seminar on Nietzsche's Zarathustra." It is a transcription of academic lectures Carl Jung gave on Nietzsche- where he off

This is only an analysis of the surface level presentation style of Nietzsches work… not the ideas themselves, which he claimed he came up with while walking, not while writing. I can’t help but suspect that the author was unable to underst

I wouldn’t consider it a shift as much as a development- he kept landing on new ideas that built on his previous ones. Focusing on his writing style rather than the ideas themselves feels a bit like bikeshedding to me. He claims he would co
