- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 hour ago:
He is also be 81 by then.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 3 hours ago:
Unlikely any bigger conspiracy or billionaire will try. They could wait 3.5 years and not have to bother with anything illegal.
MAGA candidates don’t seem to do well without Trump, so even if a republican wins it’s unlikely to be whatever this is.
If he is somehow allowed to take a dump on the constitution and get a 3rd term, maybe.
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 13 hours ago:
Will it be funny you think? Do it.
What kind of girl do you want to attract anyway? Do you want a full l girl that thinks that kind of stuff is funny or do you want a girl that finds it immature?
- Comment on Will Trump tariffs and implied trade war have a significant effect on the global emissions of greenhouse gases? 1 day ago:
Depends. Climate goals may be relaxed, because it’s very hard to push through those changes with a population that becomes poorer.
On the other hand if there is a depression less stuff would be produced and consumed.
I would not expect the tariffs to last. Most likely scenario is that he will try to use them as negotiation leverage. Everyone will get poorer, who will give in first? The bully or the bullied?
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 days ago:
My priorities in politics is:
- Don’t wreck the economy.
- Uphold the rule of law.
In my country that makes me right leaning. In the US with the current president that apparently makes me a leftist.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 4 days ago:
Remove need to sleep. You would get ~33% more time every day.

Do you have any special qualifications like a doctorate in something?

Slowly but surely grown over the years but Covid probably contributed a lot in a short time.
- Comment on Could human stomach acid be bioengineered to break down microplastics? 6 days ago:
I’m fairly sure you would not want to break them down so your body could absorb whatever is in them more easily.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
About three times the usual speed on a highway.
And a highway is about three times the allowed speed of a school zone.
So roughly the same as driving highway speeds in a school zone.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 1 week ago:
2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

I’m no expert in trafficking but I generally agree with you.
- Comment on What's so important about keeping military operations secret? 2 weeks ago:
Attackers get to choose where and when to attack. Defenders get to dig in and prepare defenses.
The attacker don’t want the defender to know where and when, because then they will just reinforce that area. Defenders don’t want the attackers to know where and when they are weak (eg troop rotation)
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you are in prison and want to communicate with the outside world without being detected, what are some ways to hide a message within an innocuous letter? 2 weeks ago:
If you’re important enough they won’t let you send letters at all.
If you’re unimportant, well anything you agreed on beforehand should be okay.
- Comment on Is this true? Software companies had diversity quotas to meet, and realized it was easier to turn autistic men into women than it was to turn women into software engineers 2 weeks ago:
Troll grade: C-.
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 2 weeks ago:
What kind of sensor do you suggest for measuring that? I’m genuinely curious why they are not industry standard.
My guess is price and/or robustness. The RTCs we use are cheap and durable.
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 2 weeks ago:
There are a lot of smart engineers that design those.
If you have an external temperature measurement it helps. But it can’t see the difference between a cloudy day and a sunny day.
If you connect it to an online weather service that helps, but it’s still hard for it to know how much the sun heats your home due to big south facing windows for example.
This is something AI could be useful for. Feed it forecast, inside, outside temp and let it figure out how to balance those against each other for your home. I’m not sure there are many systems like this on the market yet.

Does leasing the land pay enough to make it worthwhile? Gives you time to think.
If it’s fertile land you should probably use it, or lease it, to grow food.
Farming is not easy. Until you learnt to be good at it you’ll put in a lot of hours into making not much money after costs have been paid.
- Comment on How would you do this Technically? 3 weeks ago:
By prosecuting people/companies who does not label their AI generated content?

- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 4 weeks ago:
We don’t recognize birthright citizenship. You’ll have to fill in the paperwork like everyone else.
- Comment on Just posting some memes that would have hit hard in the 1920s-30s 1 month ago:
Could also split them into two factions that have a little war between each other with your town as a battlefield.

Isn’t one argument against GMO that they could spread and outcompete other crops? In that case a terminator gene would even be a good thing?
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 months ago:
I like to do a fun exercise every time I read something like this.
Swap the word for who you are accusing with some other group. If this make the statement distasteful then the statement is distasteful in it’s orginal form.
The Left like to blame men, the right like to blame immigrants so for example: “it’s a shame immigrants love to commit murder”.
Why is it okay to say men love to murder but not immigrants?
- Comment on Choosing pink is chaotic evil? 2 months ago:
It’s only chaotic evil if you use it as such.
Could work as a televangelist for constipated people.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 5 months ago:
Cryptocurrencies can be useful as currencies. Not very useful as investment though.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 5 months ago:
Like with any new technology. Remember the blockchain hype a few years back? Give it a few years and we will have a handful of areas where it makes sense and the rest of the hype will die off.
Everyone sane probably realizes this. No one knows for sure exactly where it will succeed so a lot of money and time is being spent on a 10% chance for a huge payout in case they guessed right.
- Comment on A decline in arable land 5 months ago:
It’s not that they don’t have flat ground in Norway, it’s that most of it is vertical.
