- Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship? 1 week ago:
As I see it, most long romantic relationships like that die out in terms of romance.
- Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship? 1 week ago:
So there are no romantic relationships where you don’t have a ”shared life”? Sounds pretty implausible to me.
An affair at a workplace can definitely be a romantic relationship. As can be a short fling, and all kinds of polyamorous relationships, where your life doesn’t revolve around a certain partner.

Now look at the standard umbrella and figure out if it is 25x30cm…
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 week ago:
Why? You can carry your phone and charge it at the same time.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 week ago:
That charges a phone just fine?
I use a smaller panel to charge a battery at a summer cottage. That keeps my and a few other people’s phones charged pretty alright.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 week ago:
Oh in that picture. Yeah I didn’t even think about that, I’d imagine for the original use case you would charge a phone. Laptops need a lot of power, I didn’t even dream of charging one off of a portable solar panel lol :D

A computer?
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 week ago:
Who said it would?
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 week ago:
Yeah. Mass producing can be orders of magnitude cheaper.
It’s a ridiculous argument. Of course something like that could be manufactured, it’s just too niche of a market so nobody has made it a reality (yet).
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 week ago:
Protects you from the sun while you walk. Umbrellas are used for that at least in Japan, as somebody already mentioned
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 week ago:
Nah. You could DIY something like that for 30€ or something, let alone mass produce. The only problem is that the folding would be more clumsy and probably take a bit more space folded

Asking ”what is tagalog” is really disrespectful waste of everybody’s time.
The phrase ”english and tagalog” clearly indicates that it’s a language.
Moreover, it is a single word, which is really, really easy to use a search engine for. Or wikipedia. You rarely see ”what is X” type of questions even here, on nostupidquestions.
Third, the person acknowledged themselves that it’s a stupid question.

- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 2 weeks ago:
when the battery inevitably degrades, you’ll still have solid battery life.
We used to have user replaceable batteries. The companies stopped making them and few people cared
- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 2 weeks ago:
I really don’t think the average person cares at all about improving the current picture quality of phone cameras. The pictures get posted on instagram or sent on a messaging app, and looked at once on a 6 inch screen. They are not getting printed. Most people wouldn’t even notice.
Battery life is a thing people would maybe appreciate, but then again, people seem to be fine with charging their phones overnight, and current phones seem to last one day on one charge.
- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 2 weeks ago:
Most people don’t really care about cool tech, they want a phone that just works

I mean it can work, at least in theory. I’d have to take a more comprehensive look at Estonia’s case. I will not take that source at face value though.
But recently I’ve seen analyses of both the UK and the southern EU countries’ austerity policies being failures. And that’s multiple countries with very different economies.

Austerity doesn’t work

Thats a lot of cigarettes
- Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 3 weeks ago:
Given that the general population doesn’t even know how allergies work half the time, it makes even more sense to ban peanuts on flights
- Comment on If people's voices become copyright protected in the future as a response to AI, will any non-commercial uses of voices be affected as well? 3 weeks ago:
whose hegemony results in most of the world conforming to the same
Does it really? I know there are significant differences between US and EU copyright law, fair use comes to mind
- Comment on What are the differences between 1) probabillities, 2) possibillities, and 3) plausabillities? 4 weeks ago:
maybe all the stats have eroded any intuition I had for these words
- Comment on What are the differences between 1) probabillities, 2) possibillities, and 3) plausabillities? 4 weeks ago:
Probability is a numeric value between: 0 and 1 of how likely an event is going to happen. Depending on the definition, I would say that possibilities and plausabilities are both events with a nonzero probability. Colloquially, possibilities are more likely than plausabilities I guess.

Why are people so bad at doing things in moderation
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I would say no. While they make the process more superficial and gamify it to the gain of the companies rather than the users, lots of people find partners on dating apps. A quick google reveals that already in 2017 dating apps were the leading way couples originally met.
So I would at least try them, just keep in mind how they work and what the incentives are. And don’t take it personally if you don’t get a lot of matches - that happens to a lot of people. Also I would definitely not pay for a subscription, that’s the scam part.

I just bought a used kindle and jailbroke it a few weeks ago for a similar use case

- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 1 month ago:
Either way, there is a lot of things where a book, with illustrations or not, is an inefficient way to convey information.
