When I was 20 they told me that I’d change my mind about kids when I’m older.
I’m still waiting to get older.
- Comment on Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit? 4 days ago:
Hi. I thought I was alone!
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 4 days ago:
The energy in a wave is inversely proportional to distance squared. In other words if you double the distance you get one quarter of the power.
For information transfer like wifi this does not matter as long as it’s enough to be detected.
For power transfer this becomes a huge problem quickly because it’s the energy itself that is being transferred.
- Comment on At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED? 6 days ago:
Noone, I just think that anyone who thinks he would get away with bombing a city is either trolling or has a tinfoil hat so heavy they would not get phone reception under it.
I’ll assume it’s a troll and thought it useless to feed him attention.
- Comment on At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED? 6 days ago:
You’re either trolling or you’re too far gone from reality to get back.
- Comment on Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired? 1 week ago:
Yes. “Slower reaction time” or something is the phrase I’d use. It gets worse if I’m tired.
- Comment on When will we have reached enough productivity? 1 week ago:
On a population level the more prodctive we are the higher living standard we can afford. Usually the choice is getting another gadget instead of fewer working hours in the US at least. Some European countries are reducing work weeks.

In any entertainment business the top 1% takes home most of the money. The rest gets a few dollars here and there.
Most people are better off with a normal job and just do it for fun on evenings.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Don’t think anyone will check.
Worst case scenario he will have to pick you up at the police station and you’ll have a story to tell.
- Comment on Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer? 1 week ago:
No, about normal summer assuming this is the last week of hot weather (forecast says so).
- Comment on Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me? 2 weeks ago:
Could try to make something funny of it instead.
“I lost count after 65”
- Comment on How do people calculate pi to the hundredth+ decimal place? 2 weeks ago:
Leibnitz formula for example:
1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 +1/9 - … = π/4
The more terms you bother with the more accurate you’ll get.
- Comment on Microwave Intensifies 2 weeks ago:
It will probably reflect some of the radiation. Wifi reception will be poorer behind the aluminium and possibly better in front.
A cheapskates version of a directional antenna.
- Comment on Ancient food are absurdly complicated. 2 weeks ago:
They knew about boiling water for salt since the Bronze age at least.
Salt price was largely determined by transport cost and it was just not worth the effort to gather the firewood instead of trading for it in many places.
- Comment on YOLO should really be used as a caution, like "Wear your seatbelt, dumbass. YOLO!" 2 weeks ago:
You live every day. You only die once though.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 weeks ago:
Generally frowned upon to invade countries.
Ludicrously costly. Your tax payers will want to know why it’s more important than everything else you do with their money.
Immense suffering. Mostly by the people you’re trying to liberate but also your own troops and their families.
They have nukes and could probably blow up at least a few regional cities. If the regime is threatened they will most likely use them.
South Korea or China or Russia are the only countries with land borders. China and Russia find NK useful to have arround to annoy US. Seoul is within artillerty range of the border.
Building up a new state in it’s place is very difficult. Remember how the Taliban took back power about 15 minutes after the US left Afghanistan?
- Comment on What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"? 3 weeks ago:
If you don’t date because you are ugly/mental/whatever and thus black pilled then that is a part of your identity. Instead you spend all the time playing games.
If you don’t date because you put zero effort into your looks because you’re busy playing video games then games becomes a part of your identity.
You’re doing exactly the same thing but your choice is what emotional baggage comes with the crowd you choose to identify with. That in turn will influence you and your own mental well being over the decades.
- Comment on What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"? 3 weeks ago:
It does not sound like a happy bunch to hang around. Is that what you aspire to have as a part of your identity?
- Comment on Is possible to learn to swim, just by reading a lot about it? 3 weeks ago:
Possibly. But there is a good reason that is not the way swimming is taught and I’d not jump in the deep end based on book knowledge.
That being said read, then practice, then read, then practice loop is a very quick way for me to learn.
- Comment on Ever think of the inconsistency of airlines weighing luggage? 3 weeks ago:
There is a bar or some device that is there to prevent your stuff from sliding forwards. I’ve not been crawling on the airplane floors enough to see any weight rating on it but I would bet money on it being crash tested and rated according to whatever the overhead compartments are.
- Comment on Ever think of the inconsistency of airlines weighing luggage? 3 weeks ago:
The overhead compartments have a weight limit because they must be designed to keep the stuff in there during an emergency.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
You’re in a situation where you have to cut spending and raise taxes while the left promises to not cut spending and the right promises to not raise taxes. It’s an issue the last handful of administrations have not been able to deal with…
It’s going to be painful. Hopefully not a drawn out depression like the 1930s.
- Comment on I require nothing more 4 weeks ago:
Twice as many mattreses as needed.
- Comment on Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change? 4 weeks ago:
Speed up by far. All the focus will be on producing enough stuff to replace whatever the enemy blows up. Any invention in the renewable department will only come as a result of having used all available fuel already.
The world population still increased during the previous world wars so unless we have a major nuclear exchange that probably won’t change. If we do have a major nuclear war global warming is suddenly not a big deal anyway.
- Comment on My Take Home Pay 4 weeks ago:
If you get the wrong idea about how good they actually do it’s not because you got my scale wrong, it’s because I spent 5 minutes thinking about how I feel they do.
- Comment on My Take Home Pay 4 weeks ago:
What do they spend the money on instead?
- Comment on My Take Home Pay 4 weeks ago:
Do you get value for your money in your country?
I’m okay with paying my taxes, don’t really care if it’s more or less as long as they are responsible with spending it.
I rate my town government B- and national government B+ when it comes to responsibility.
- Comment on I'm very Jesus-like 4 weeks ago:
I pay tax so that someone else can figure out who murdered who.
Please, I only have one life and I don’t want to spend it thinking about miserable things.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
If you live in an open and transparent society: there will be an investigation and there is a high chance they will find out. You’ll be expected to take care of the mess with disaster relief for the survivors. Also about 40% of the people did vote for you. Also even the ones who did not vote for you still pays tax.
If you live in a dictatorship: police brutality is cheaper and is a bit more selective in it’s targeting.
- Comment on If government hackers can infiltrate big companies, why not hack normal people? 4 weeks ago:
You have to pay a highly educated individual to spend hours finding any weakness to hack anything.
If you hack a big organization you’ll get more then a few dollars from a bank account. They also have a lot more things that could be vulnerable to hacking.
