Noooo it’s broken!

Well, I would have to buy a car first, but then I could siphon out the gas and sell it forever.

Germany did not change after WWII, Nazi higher ups got positions in West German government and as leaders in NATO.

Harry, it’s an inanimate fucking object.

But this way gives credit to Josh for the joke

My first calculus class was in 2018 or 2019 and before they taught us any of the derivative rules they showed us the first principles derivation, so the fact that they just skipped right to the shortcuts for you is wack. For us it was more of “this is how you find the equation for the slope of a line at any point. But guess what, here’s some rules so you don’t have to do this squeeze formula every time!”

That last part.

Is there such a thing as unhinged benevolence? That’s awesome

This is true, all Americans are going to hell /s

My parents are constantly pushing me to own a car.

I have a license because it is a convenient all-in-one piece of ID. I abstain from car ownership because cars fucking suck. They’re expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to maintain, expensive to run, expensive to drive, and you can’t even use your phone* while going places. Car ownership is just overall a bad deal. I’m much happier taking public transit, even if it sucks ass and is twice as slow to get anywhere.

*If you unironically counter this point you should be prevented from ever getting behind a wheel for the rest of your life. Fuck you for putting my and other people’s lives in danger for your own convenience.

I can honestly say that I can only tell apart differences of 1 °F in the context of pools. With air temperature there’s humidity, wind, and sunlight that all contribute to the experienced temperature in ways that can make two 68 degree days feel entirely different.

We are not water.

But the weather is.

Taking a natural language question and providing a foothold on a subject by giving you the vocabulary so that you can research a topic on your own.

I believe in the death penalty as a security measure, but not as punishment, at least in theory.

In practice, the cost to society to ensure absolute certainty in guilt almost always far outweighs the security gain, so it doesn’t make sense. Maybe once a century.

And thus we see why UBI will never be a solution. You need an overwhelming political movement by the people outside the electoral system. And if you can force through UBI, why would you, when the people could actually take the reins.

Also there is no “point of no return.” Every extra kilogram of CO2 is an extra small increase in temperature. The more we emit, the worse it gets. It’s not on-off.

Love how when someone has issues with Linux but not Windows somehow it’s pebkac. Classic annoying Linux user response.

“If you swallowed or inhaled this battery you’d be exposed to significant amounts of radiation.”

It’s beta radiation, which can be stopped by a layer of tin foil, I think. So yeah if you ate the source itself that would be bad, but if you eat the battery with the casing, probably much less bad?

In uni they told us part of the purpose of lab coats was to be able to take it off quickly without second thoughts about sentimental value in case of e.g. fire.
