I don't understand this thought. Is being childless immoral in your eyes? If so, why do you thank those that would bear (what you consider to be) an immoral agent into this world... I am seriously confused by this confusing remark. My

Okay, explaining personal experience is notoriously difficult - but here we go: This is a story - this is not literally true, but is a roughly similar shape of things. My experience is that I am a little thing piloting a giant thing (my bod

I think that's rule number two. Right after "don't look at the laser".

Being able to move space around a ship, and being able to move space around a ship faster than the speed of light seem to require orders of magnitude different energies. being in a 'warp bubble' doesn't mean that bubble is tr

Let me be clear. Pay me to have children enough for them to live comfortably: I will have children. The reason is purely monetary. More money - more children. Ethics, philosophy, you can argue along those vectors all you want. It will be us

External supplies, clothing, and equipment... that's the end... we aren't going to be matching used muscles to see which brain pulls on them harder. External influences should be minimized within reason.

Would you take a low paying factory job that creates an objectively addictive poison as a product willingly when you have other options? Do you REALLY know ANYONE that would? I'm not saying that number is in fact 0, there will always b

I think you might be mistaken about the ratio of the average person's needs/abilities... a probing question is: do we really need telemarketers to continue to exist (just so people have jobs... and that's better that people r

That logic is a non-sequitur. A reason to live has nothing to do with making babies... A reason to make babies is a reason to make babies, a reason to live is a reason to live... maybe some overlap, sure... but the Venn Diagram is far from

Working a job you don't like isn't the issue. Working a job that makes the world a worse place because you need to survive is the issue. It IS less evil to do nothing and be fed than to take up arms in a factory that produces prod

YES!!!! Not every job is moral, essential or needed, the idea that 'everyone needs to participate with American capitalism as a worker drone' needs to die.

Housing is too expensive, childcare is too expensive. I do not desire to feed the capitalistic beast with more wage slaves: if I have children - it must be because I can give them a better life than I've had. That will not be the case

Yep. During the first parts of sleep your body locks to prevent you from acting out your dreams. Here are a few: When your body locks up, test it. try to use as much force as you can without 'breaking' that lock... it keeps you in

I think the cry 'down with the hierarchy' is morally correct, and replacing a hierarchy with nothing is foolish. Structure does not need to have any hierarchy. We should think less in terms of pyramids (only a few at the top)... m

I mean, yes... Everything I've read about sleep paralysis says it happens on waking (and is caused more often by sleeping on your back). Before you fall asleep the dark entity people sometimes feel/see isn't there (yet...).

The way I lucid dream is to 'stay awake' through the process of falling asleep. There are a few tricks I use... but I don't recommend the experience (It can be... uncomfortable {there is a reason you don't remember the p

In my experience it has been significant. going up the mountain from the base to crestline takes as much energy as going from riverside orange county (12 miles up a mountain vs ~50 miles on flat land). (both a fiat500e and bolt EUV for ref

going up a hill requires more energy and puts a higher strain on the battery as it pulls more power (if that's a consistent part of your commute - then the battery health lowers faster).

Yes. Everything you said is true. The places I see level 3 chargers the most is Malls or shopping centers, where 30 minutes to grab lunch or do some shopping can be integrated with getting a charge. Battery tech is improving (some fancy stu

Fossil fuel and hydrogen sadly will not end (just be severely reduced - which is good)... Semi-trucks are not good candidates for EV tech (yet)... high altitudes (or changing altitudes greatly during a trip) or cold weather affect battery c

Reading through the article - the source data is 1,500 people. Not insignificant, but reading between the lines at some the criticism outlined - it may be the case that those 1,500 people were chosen selectively in a way that could bias the
