That’s a US thing. Also, have you seen the price of everything?

Why would they transport eggs this way…? Fast (expensive) cargo trains would be used for valuable products. For example minerals, metals, computer chips.

That definitely helps putting my mind off of the fear of radiation. Thanks.

This is like the myth of the 10x AI developer. Even if I could code 10x faster, coding is only maybe 25% of what I do at best.

This plan started as a toilet, until one day it asked… Why should I not bite the hand that feeds me? And it worked.

You can absolutely accelerate this fast if there are no people on board. China probably wants safe autonomous cargo trains at some point.

- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 2 weeks ago:
Depends what you want. It’s never late to pursue an academic interest. But realistically if you’re going back to school to change careers, probably from 35 up it starts being hard to justify. If you just want to go to school to supplement your current skills, it’s never too late.

The short answer is: of course not.
But there’s actually an amazing new tech out there for self-powered smart switches that produce enough energy from the movement of the switch alone, so they don’t require any external power: smarthomescene.com/…/moes-self-powered-wireless-z…

Tampax was indeed designed by a physician. A male one, if you can believe. So when he says they are super comfortable, you know it’s true because it’s a man’s opinion.

Depends if it started to ferment…
- Comment on Sea Level 2 weeks ago:
That’s just our bias talking. There’s certainly many other wonderful events we missed by a couple million years. We just think the moon size is special because of this coincidence.

- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think you should cosplay as a nazi the same way we wear fake guns. You better make it abundantly clear that it’s a toy/costume.

How is this relevant to the formation of the solar system?
- Comment on Influencers 4 weeks ago:
I don’t get it. People think of Mars as particularly incluencial in the formation of the solar system?.. But they should of venus instead?

That you make all water bulge at the equator.
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 5 weeks ago:
That’s not intirely true. Some people definitely are like that, like in any country. Others agree that if you work and pay taxes, you deserve all the same benefits.
