Other languages have other problems. In Polish, free as in beer is "darmowe", free as in speech is "wolne", which can also mean "slow".

Start with something more flammable than wet wood or with electric lighter. Burning wet wood and fresh leaves - it's more practical to dry them first with leftover heat from chimney. Otherwise they need high temperature.

If you bring free sweets to a consumer show, you will get a lot of happy smiles on small faces and unmeasurably small business effect. At least you get some smiles, so not a total waste. Some customers will probably be a little less likely

It's more like feeding humans to humans or cows to cows. They go mad too. Feeding cows to humans instead typically works, of course there are ALWAYS exceptions and it's never perfect or without harms. Both with AI and cows.

Works for most light bags, many people use heavy reusable bags which can sometimes throw off weight of some items too much and it's a lottery then. Similarly I don't use "add X items at once" because they don't

Making biochar is just heating bio-waste in a container to high temperature, but to not let it actually burn. Like making charcoal, but slightly smaller temperature. Biochar - bio-charcoal.

Typically water coming out of your heating plant is already at max temperature. Any more and it will start boiling.

You would need a lake sized insulated reservoir for that to work. Too much water is used already by those systems, they don't typically want to add another storage. Typically they are gigawatt scale systems burning something because ju

It's a tool, not a reason. If there were no fiat money, there would be other tools. Greed is the reason. If you somehow removed all currently rich people, in 20-30 years you would have another batch of super rich.

I also don't always explicitly verbalize things. The whole problem seems to be more of disagreement about a definition of inner voice and what it means for different people.

I have inner voice, it's very hard for me to comprehend how can you think, but it's possible. How I understand it: you just write what you think, without rehearsing it before inside your mind. We all do it to some extent when writ

There is already too much CO2 in seawater. Taking it from air will also reduce levels in water. If we stop adding new carbon from underground, in several thousand years levels should return to current normal, but this may be too long for ou
