It sucks you’re the only person on earth who is altruistic enough for this thing that would definitely work but you’re choosing not to enact it despite it being so easy it’s a simple choice. Because your statement sure leaves exactly zero r

Why advertise you agree with something objectively wrong lmao

I’m not sure I understand your point. These things remain true regardless of whether or not you find ways to improve your process. Do we just… not try to improve because there is noise to sift through?

The care quality of all major healthcare providers in the US is some pretty available data, and I've never heard anyone of being suspicious of Kaiser , of all companies. They're specifically known for having really good outcomes.

"You can't ask people because the experience is so universally terrible they'll just tell you it's terrible" isn't really an argument against surveys, it just means you need more specific questions they'll

Yep. I'm sure there are a few exceptions, but they'd be very rare overall.

I guess it just seems extremely obvious to me that people who live a predictable-enough life to sleep and wake at the same time every day are less likely to face mortality than people with schedules so chaotic they sleep at different times

I’m not sure that simply replacing one type of crude oil byproduct with something else does much on its own, since they still need all the other products produced before and after plastics are made.

This is true for almost every issue, for what it’s worth. Almost.

Probably some legal question that won’t get answered until there is a strong pressure to do so.

Society flourished without lots of stuff we have today. It just flourished less. And people aren’t failing to migrate away from plastic because “somebody would make less money”, they’re using plastic because everything else basically sucks

Our brains evolved in the former environment, and is very good at filtering it out. I've got pretty extreme ADHD, and if I'm in a room and something on the wall is flittering about, I absolutely must look at it. If I'm in a f

You don't need to live a consumerist lifestyle to have a home that's properly outfitted (curtains), comfy (rugs, chairs), and quiet (walls/divisions). Also for a fun large-scale argument: we're relatively sheltered from

There is significant pollution created while digging up the rare earth materials which are needed to make solar panels, and batteries are some of the dirtiest things we make. There is virtually zero pollution in a generator which does not t

You should ask the person I replied to - they already posted soccer field sizes.

Oh, thought this was a noodle fight. A full-on slam down in flavor town. An absolute buffet brawl.

Those are crushing power, and while they use bad terms for it, they are referring to tensile strength specifically, which is totally different. I don’t know why the hell they chose a spaghetti strand though.

OP is talking about a football field, not a soccer field. It’s a common joke in America that things have to be measured in football terms. In the “for what it’s worth” department, Brits called it soccer too. I have no idea why they swapped

Your question answers exactly how enforceable it is. It’s directly linked to your population size and how much it can hurt the wallet of the company. Edit: but also, who cares? Literally no solution to anything on earth works for EVERYONE

How could you possibly know the cost and pollution levels of batteries not-yet invented? The pollution from a nuclear power plant is one 55-gallon barrel of waste per reactor per year, and ZERO batteries are that clean. Like, what are you e

by kulahan 3mo ago
Because our battery tech sucks shit. The entire solar industry is predicated on the idea that we will invent a magical battery MANY MANY times better than what currently exists, without being dirtier than everything north of coal. Come on,

Why do people create this false narrative that renewables and nuclear somehow aren’t the same thing? Why do people pretend that nuclear is not a solution to our energy needs? Why do they seem addicted to pretending the absolute worst altern
