And this boulder could generate huge amounts of energy if I pushed it up to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro and let it roll down.

You don’t. You’re asking how to do free labor for a multitrillion-dollar company. Google chooses to be lax enough to constantly let this garbage through and makes gargantuan profits from it; they brought this on themselves. Migrate to a platform that hasn’t enshittified like Google has, tell your friends and family about it, and let Google wallow in the shithole they’ve created for themselves.

Oh shit, the tone police are here. I’m not under the impression the person I’m responding to is going to change their behavior after this has already been widely talked about to death for years, and so I really don’t care what tone I use. This person is helping make the lives of real, actual, perfectly innocent trans people (and especially the lives of trans women) hell because they a) don’t care about those people or somehow more pathetically b) do can’t restrain themselves from buying a children’s toy to that end.

- Comment on People from the Wild West deciding what time they'll casually throw their life away in a duel [Day 107] 2 weeks ago:
Duels? No clue, honestly. They definitey happened, but their frequency could definitely be overstated. As for meeting at noon? I think it sounds like the most reasonable time and would’ve been common if duels were common. This is pure, complete speculation on my part, so don’t repeat it without doing your own research, but I think the existing facts support my conclusion:
- Home clocks at the time were only seen among rich folks, often as a status symbol.
- Even if you did have one of these, they often lost quite a few minutes per day.
- Towns often had a clock for the church.
- This clock would’ve been more accurate than a home clock.
- This clock often rang at noon.
- Noon is (approximately) pretty easily verifiable by the position of the Sun being the highest in the sky.
- Noon means that neither party should have an advantage based on where the Sun is facing if you line up east–west.
- Noon is around a time most people are most likely to be the most awake.

I knew who this was going to be before I even clicked, and I highly suggest you ignore her. She speaks well outside of fields she has any knowledge about and is constantly spreading FUD about academia because it drives clicks.

Hot take: this behavior should get you blacklisted from contributing to any peer-reviewed journal for life. That’s repugnant.

Wouldn’t have known to look at a clearly delineated 1/3 of the image instead of the pretty picture if it weren’t for the yellow circle. Thanks for that.
