People also don’t realize that too much power is just as bad as too little, worse in fact. There’s always useful power sinks: pumped hydro, batteries, thermal storage, but these are not infinite.

Cranberries don’t grow on the water, the fields are just flooded at harvest time because the berries float, which makes it an easy method to gather them.

Lion batteries have flames without explosions because of design considerations with the batteries: vent holes that allow pressure and heat to escape a failing battery. It’s possible that if those safeguards were compromised, you could trigger an actual explosion.

Sure, no one is saying that. The point is that it doesn’t send anything other than the stuff after the keywords back to company servers.

There’s also the matter of there being literally hundreds of security and privacy researchers who would love nothing more than to catch Amazon doing this, and no one has in any major way.

Same but also add “less” and “fewer”

Protonmail is encrypted and they literally cannot decrypt to record your data.

The driver skill is hard to control, but I would assume they had equal pressure in the tires, or at least close enough. There’s also more things that matter like tire width, lockers, horsepower, weight etc.

Even if it’s not a perfectly scientific test, it can still be interesting

The problem is the obscenity exception is also used for things like preventing someone from walking around a public park with a giant sign covered in gore porn. Something like that I think is obviously pretty okay to ban, but clearly it gets misused for a lot of homophobic/transphobic type stuff.

Yeah, honestly it would be fascinating if you wanted to go search for the specific terms that you think should bring that up, and then compare how deep your blog is in the results on a bunch of different web search pages.

“Destroying Angel” is an incredibly metal name for a mushroom lmao.

Fully agree. Honestly there’s a few subjects where this kinda logic comes up and I get annoyed. Like it’s fine to not be perfect, but don’t pretend that you aren’t perfect, or that your choices are somehow ‘good’ when they aren’t, just because you don’t like the realization.

That video is a TAS, no human has cleared the level.

You can also feed them less, and then put that kibble in the treats as part of dinner time. So they’d get half their dinner from the bowl and half from a puzzle toy, or whatever.

I mean, isn’t community self-policing and an overly tolerant attitude towards picking what type of games are allowed on your platform exactly what we want from them?

Yeah but this also results in the site receiving less money from ads, also hurting them in the long run. Really the solution is to pay for the services you enjoy, and acknowledge the age-old “if the service is free, you are the product”.

Yeah, it’ll be easy to catch if you actually dig into it, but if you’re not given a reason to, it might take a while to catch; which is exactly what happened

Yeah there’s a decent amount of pretty cool reality TV subgenres.

Yeah whenever people say this they kinda forget that there’s a lot of pretty good reality TV. Deadliest catch, antiques roadshow, survivorman, price is right). None of them are the wire or anything, but I’d certainly die on the hill of them being valuable and decent television.

I feel like everyone bitching about reality TV is always just picturing wife swap, the Kardashians and real housewives when they say that.

Assuming you’re talking about the pryors or however you spell it, wasn’t the whole point they were trying to make that “any sufficiently advanced technology looks like magic”? It’s been a hot minute since I watched it but my recollection is that they were pretty clear on that.
