- Comment on How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"? 1 week ago:
Yup. I’m no fan of Apple, but I like to be honest about my criticisms. And hardware quality is not one of them.

They have an interconnected proprietary ecosystem. This is simultaneously one of their biggest strengths and biggest weaknesses.
- Comment on Why can’t we swap our minds today? 1 week ago:
Hot take: swapping brains is a body transplant, not a brain transplant.
- Comment on What can be done to prevent more dangerous heatwaves in Europe? 1 week ago:
We’re past the “prevention” phase and have moved on to the “adaption” phase.
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 1 week ago:
Air from room is cooled and that same air is blown back into the room after being cooled.
Air from outside is pulled into AC (does not go into room), gets the heat from the air in the room, then is blown out as exhaust.

A shit in the victim’s head? That’s rough.
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 1 week ago:
Outside air. If you are using AC, the intake probably isn’t cold. But: air in => heated up by the AC => sent out.
2 hoses in the window that connect to the back of the AC unit.
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 2 weeks ago:
The air that is brought in from outside via the intake hose is the same air that is heated and then ejected through the exhaust hose.
In theory, it shouldn’t cause a change in pressure.

Having less stuff is my main method.

Also: if a big box store with high ceilings is going to cool the entire building to 68F, I’m not going to fret over cooling my modestly-sized home.
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 2 weeks ago:
Dual-hose portable ACs avoid the vacuum problem. You just need to have good sealing around the intake and exhaust hoses.
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 2 weeks ago:
I consider these superior to central air due to its ability for zone control.

Hypermarket? How does that compare to a supermarket?
- Comment on Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't. 2 weeks ago:
Yes. This isn’t a “capitalism” problem, this is a “see animals as products” problem.

Final thought: the best way to decrease meat consumption is to make the alternatives easy to prepare and alluring to more of the population.
I learned long ago that ethics won’t win out. It comes down to cost and convenience. Alternatives need to be cheap and easy.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 3 weeks ago:
Broader reach and generally more responsibility.
I’m definitely on the “expertise” track at work and have specifically avoided management because it simply doesn’t mesh with my skillset or lifestyle. At my company at least, the people getting the calls late in the evening or over weekends are the managers. They are the ones that have to deal with scheduling conflicts, budget overruns, or fixing the big issues.
While execs make a lot and probably don’t have the big stress, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze for middle management. They often don’t make that much more and IME are the most stressed group at a company.

I would describe it more as a kakistocracy

A lot of that “destroyed food” is animals who lived their entire lives in tiny, filthy cages just so that they could be killed and rot in a plastic bag.
- Comment on We do not get a choice of how we come into this world or who we came into this world by but how come we can't go out on our own, wouldn't that be a full life doing everything u wanted 2 do? 3 weeks ago:
The illegality is mostly relevant in the sense that it prevents other from providing assistance and may impose some sort of duty to intervene, even if said intervention is simply calling emergency services.

Does 1 hit cause damage to all the ships in the stack that occupy the hit space? Or does only the top-most ship take the damage such that the top ships shield the bottom ones?
