Sisyphus squats are a real thing

Yeah, it’s bothering me that the housing crisis is not treated as what it is - a supply shortage issue.

yeah and they’re all where people live

Many of them are in sparsely populated areas in the north, but on the natives foraging land, which is a whole different can of worms.

Not a problem for the right wing government, though. As long as they don’t have to build any unsightly wind power, they are more than happy.

Ah yes, the one weird trick of importing goods from China and selling them to consumers in the west.

You know, like every other business in the west is doing - importing goods from China and selling them to consumers in the west.

Isn’t Al only as smart as the user putting in the information or commands?

The information that’s been “put in” is everything that bots have been able to scrape off of the internet, plus transcripts of a large quantity of YouTube videos, and a large dataset of pirated ebooks.

Terabytes of information, of varying quality.

If it’s an open source app, you could test what’s happening in onSaveInstanceState and onCreate with savedInstanceState/onRestoreInstanceState, maybe by attaching some tracing to it.

Mishandling an OOM killer event is generally speaking developer error.

Idk how all slop managed to get the exact same looking font tbh. I wonder if you can prompt it away or if they did something in the training to make sure it always spit out some type of legible text

Removing industrial and transportation, heating represents is more than half of the energy use in Finland. Being able to store it and use later - particularly in district heating applications - is definitely a long-term solution

Store-bought tomatoes are generally sub-par because of the logistical problem of tomatoes - when they are sufficiently ripe, they become too soft to transport without breaking.

On account of the square-cube law, smaller tomatoes are less prone to this issue, so anyone with no access to homegrown tomatoes will benefit from opting for smaller varieties.

1. Public transport should be free for all the citizens and paid for tourists visitors.

That’s an awful idea. Why would you maintain payment infrastructure to collect fares from so few people? It wouldn’t even pay for itself, it’s just bad for everyone involved and no one would benefit.

It takes some care to make your backyard tomatoes actually taste as spectacular as they can taste.

Last year I had the bad fortune of harvesting some truly bland tomatoes from the plants on my balcony. This was most likely a skill issue - I kept the tomatoes too hot, and didn’t fertilize them apart from the initial fertilizer that came with the soil I potted them in.

This year, my tomatoes tastes spectacular, because I fixed those problems.

I think you might be misunderstanding. My point is that resources are not unlimited, and hence prioritizing infrastructure investments - meaning a more comprehensive transit network with better headways - is preferable to fully removing user fees.

Anecdotally, LA works pretty well as a case study on this particular matter: https://youtu.be/vTS897tcu6Q

My opinions on this subject are nuanced. While I think free fares are definitely the ideal assuming unlimited resources, they are probably not the best intervention you can do for improving the overall transit posture of a given city. Infrastructure investments are almost always going to be a better bet.

Truly penny wise and pound foolish to not provide it free and unlimited

As I understand, it’s Mens Rea that determines whether it’s manslaughter or murder.

It’s hard to argue this person didn’t do it on purpose. Hence, murder, not manslaughter.

I was concerned about this as well when looking to install a bidet solution, to the point where I put it off for years.

For context, I live in Sweden where the water in the cold line gets quite cold during winter.

I then read that you don’t really have that much temperature-related sensation in the place where it matters for the bidet, and finally decided to test the theory and bought a cheap model (~€75) that just attaches to the water inlet for the toilet, i.e cold water.

I can confirm that it is indeed the case that you can’t really tell that it’s cold water being applied. You’re just not that sensitive to it in that place.

I have not looked back at all since I bought the thing. Two squares of toilet paper is basically always enough to get me incredibly clean with the help of the bidet. It’s fantastic. I highly recommend you get one.

Looking at the data I imagine there might be some margin of error on it - Sweden is sitting at 99% carbon free electricity and France is at 98%. 40% of the carbon emissions at the time I’m looking is attributed to a bucket known as “unknown” where some assumptions are made about what that unknown-bucket contains. France also has an unknown-bucket, but reports an unknown fraction of electricity coming from it.

Both are basically rounding errors in terms of emissions though, with both countries doing quite well, at least at time of speaking.

Making us the lowest carbon intensive producer in Europe.

This can’t be right, Sweden is still lower
