- Comment on Are Dairy Robots the Secret to Happier Cows and More Efficient Farms? 1 day ago:
if calories-to-price is your metric
it’s a metric for food I buy, and anything less convenient that a gas station hot dog that costs now power calorie is a hard sell. I don’t live on has station hot dogs, but they are, in my opinion, a good standard for convenience food value.
I also drink soylent, which is only like half as good as hotdogs, but the nutrient balance is incredible.
my wife says my spreadsheets are how farmers feed cattle.

I don’t know how this can be verified, nor does it matter at the point of sale

I evaluate basically all my food with what I call “hotdog math”. my wife hates it. my local gas station sells hotdogs at 2/$1. the free toppings can push the calories count near 550, but I know nothing comes close, so I round down to 500. milk beats oatmilk on hotdog math, and carries a wider diversity of nutrients, to boot.

i mean… we’re talking about civil torts here, not constitutional law. i think you can still count on a court to throw this out even with a pro se defense.

it’s settled law that you are absolved of responsibility if you don’t moderate.
- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 4 days ago:
If it’s ever successfully repealed, you’d become liable for anything posted to your forum
unless you refuse to moderate it. then you are only criminally liable in the circumstances that have been codified, which usually has a takedown grace period.

not necessarily. we mostly feed livestock parts of plants we don’t or can’t eat. so while spinach is human-edible, the spinach fed to chickens is not handled in a way that keeps it safe for human consumption. by feeding it to livestock, we are conserving resources.

wilson was a fascist and set us on this course. you can’t expect a fascist government to keep fascists out of power.
but the problem is in the creation of these executive agencies. someone coming along to abuse them was in the cards the whole time.

the executive is the one to execute, because where else could you even put it?
the congress. the congress could make a law. it’s that simple. the fugitive slave act didn’t need a fucking Agency of Slave Recovery.

For truly independent agencies, I think you need to amend the constitution for that.
i don’t think we need most of these agencies at all, but those that are needed could still be created directly under the supervision of congress. would it make their lives harder? yes. but it would also stop any autocratically-minded executive from doing what’s being done.

I feel there is nuance.
I have a joke that the Congress would create a department of impeachment and place it under the president. I know it’s not really a knee slapper.
congress has been abdicating since the Wilson administration (at least) and we are now seeing the consequences of those actions.
if you had elected me to be president, is have scuttled an aircraft carrier and a nuclear sub during my inauguration speech, and if me dismantling the bureau of Indian affairs, the bureau of prisons, the federal bureau of investigation, the central intelligence agency, and the NSA ( whose full name i can’t summon at the moment) just as we see trump dismantling agencies I think are mostly benign.
the problem is that Congress has had no courage for a century.
