I misread the parent comment. That said, I’m curious how you’d apply an automatic teriff? Who would enforce it?

I’m guessing doing all the things the right way would put Boeing out of business. US doesn’t want that.

I’m talking about a realistic limit much closer that the speed of light. My point being, that perhaps there is an even closer limit that it hard if not impossible to overcome for an intelligent life that’s contained in a biological vessel.

I still believe that the sheer scale of space time is the reason we’ll never run into intelligent life outside of our planet. People seem to assume there is no technological barrier to super fast travel, but perhaps there is a limit? This l

Can confirm. Wife tells me all the time about how shitty Japanese guys are as husbands (heard all of her friends complain), and how happy she is that I’m not Japanese. Even stay at home mothers without jobs do an insane amount of work here,

Urban planning in US cities is pretty shit. Even the “well planned” green cities could use a lot of work.

I’ve seen those, they are interesting but not exactly what I had in mind in terms of form. I envision some sort of square set up at 45 degrees angles for each panel, aimed inward like a funnel, but now I’m thinking it’ll probably destroy it

Is there any reason solar installation could not be vertical like a tree with branches and leaves? Is there no angle / arrangement at which efficiency is all the same as a flat set up? Or is it just more expensive to build out that typ

Sorry to hear about what you went or are currently going through. The medical insurance situation in US is beyond f’ed up. Most people who can afford it just don’t think about how terrible it really is. It takes some serious illness or acci

I think a much overlooked topic is urban planning. Just thinking about Phoenix and the hundreds of homes and apartment complexes blasting ac 24/7 with little or nothing in terms of tree shade. Trees can provide and immense amount of su

There were people in Turkey some thousands of years ago living underground. I’m sure they were doing that for a reason. Can’t recall the name of the place / discovery.

I wouldn’t cal it a handicap. I think a lot of it comes down to confidence. Women can tell when a guy is not confident in himself / his appearance and that’s a turn off.

Lack of public bathrooms is a real shame and a failure in planning. It is a universal human right to access a bathroom in public places, or else be okay with people pissing and shitting wherever. I think the same should apply to water acces

Newest release requires payment. You can only use an older release if you take a survey. Having used an older release, I am unimpressed. Half controls don’t work and the universe itself is not as explorable as you’d think. I have yet to fig

.loneliness { position: relative; } Like all things in life, loneliness is not absolute in origin. Depending on your circumstances, combined with external levers, loneliness is not easy to pinpoint, but there are a few common externalities.

As a kid I would rip limbs off insects one by one and watch them suffer. As an adult I carefully capture them inside and release outside. With all the insect die offs and all, little critters who stroll into my place get a 2nd chance. Unles

Japan is not tearing down any nuclear plants, we are building more. Nobody wants to increase carbon emissions here, it’s just that we have growing demand that cannot be met without importing. A huge chunk of energy in Japan is imported but

This is my feeling too. I feel that even the scientists doing these studies are not considering all of the positive feedback loops. If we could somehow account for everything we’d see that we are already past the point of no return and thin

We also dry ours inside when it’s raining out. For those occasions we have a dehumidifier. Many newer Japanese homes come with a small clothes drying room for when the weather is not suitable.

Here in Japan everyone dries their laundry outside. It’s a bit of extra work but we save a ton of energy, stuff doesn’t shrink as much, laundry smells like the sun, I like it.
