why would they drink Bug Lite when they’re concerned about their weight? i assume you mean they’re concerned that they have too little weight

ngl, i thought about becoming a farmer, but i value living in a society above living on a farm, though both are actually important to me.
the thing is to be a farmer in today’s economy is close to impossible, and also i lack experience and equipment.

- Comment on Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video] 6 days ago:
Monopolies are bad in every sector with the exception of software development. Let me explain:
When you produce 5 cars, you have 5 cars. That’s 5 times as good as 1 car. So it makes sense to produce more cars.
When you have 5 programs (that each do the same), you have effectively 4 redundancies and you could get the same work done with 1 program. So, 5 programs is worth just as much as 1 program, and the other 4 are a waste. So it is more efficient to only write every software once. This also reduces bloat and confusion. For example, if iOS and Android had more common code basis, it would probably be better for everyone.
Consider this meme, but with products instead of standards:
This is why monopolies make sense in software development. Google developed a lot of software, including Android, which doesn’t need to be developed 10x times by 10 different companies. It only needs to be developed once. That’s the difference between hardware (cars) and software.

handing out water is actually a great challenge because it requires sensitivity (to apply just the right amount of grip pressure)
so it’s a great way to demonstrate sensitivity of the machine.

classical elements refers to mechanical properties (solid, liquid, gaseous), it does not refer to chemical elements.

building a pipe all the way to space would mean the pipe would have to sustain its own weight, which is the same problem as a space elevator. that doesn’t work either because there’s no material on earth strong enough to support its own weight over that distance.

gas generators based on internal combustion
they heat air, afaik.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 weeks ago:
fun fact: chloroplasts generate an electric potential across the cell membrane during photosynthesis. essentially, they have membrane proteins in their chloroplast membranes that push electrons from one side of the membrane to the other side whenever a photon hits the protein. It’s essentially a natural photovoltaic cell.
That electric potential is then used to create ATP in nature, while we just directly extract the electrical power through cables.

you forgot the electrochemical battery
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 weeks ago:
that’s why IMHO it’s more important to classify the core coupling mechanism (e.g. photoelectric effect, electromagnetic effect) instead of classifying the total energy in -> energy out types.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 weeks ago:
and we found it very early on
just FYI, the electrochemical battery was invented in 1800, while electromechanical generator was invented in around 1866.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 weeks ago:
There’s only 3 major ways to transform different forms of energy into electricity, which are:
- solar panels (light -> electricity)
- mechanical engines/generators (mechanical movement -> electricity)
- electrochemical battery (chemical dipole -> electricity)
there’s a whole lot more, such as thermoelectric generator and piezoelectricity but these are the three significant ones.

i’d define it as size of an svg file that represents the flag, since more complex flag -> more fundamental elements (rectangles, circles) needed -> bigger file size -> more entropy.
