- Comment on Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait? 10 hours ago:
I could say the same about Germans based on their tourists, but it’s because the people you notice most often are always the loudest and most obnoxious individuals.

- Comment on How to effectively protest outside my House representative's office 3 days ago:
I would say document the rep’s corporate sponsors and create a large sign with all their logos.

Reminds me of the 70s when suddenly everything was “Eco-Friendly”.

They can predict behavior, but only for spherical brains in a vacuum.

MAGA has always been run by nazis; the blatancy came from winning the last election.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
Whether it’s now or later, life has to get a lot worse before the general mass of sludge will look up from phone feeds and do anything. People will have to feel a lot more pain than they’re feeling now before they do more than bitch online.

- Comment on How likely do you think there will be a run on the banks? 2 weeks ago:
It’s like Ron Swanson took over the government, but with only his attitude and none of his legit skills.

Those of us who are extremely upset about the state of our country are constantly wondering WTF is wrong with the other ones.
- Comment on Working below minimum wage to save the planet 2 weeks ago:
I fix stuff when it’s harder than buying a new one just because it’s rewarding. I guess the guy in the picture embodies that feeling but I don’t picture it that way, it’s just how I was brought up. Same reason I make meals instead of ordering doordash.

I knew a guy who did that one time. Know what happened? He’s DEAD.

You’re just coming to grips with history. People with means and influence make it happen and the rest of us watch and hang on.

Me rewatching a movie:
“Oh yeah…”
“Oh yeah…”
- Comment on What we all want deep down 3 weeks ago:
In the excellent book, Your Money or Your Life the authors define wealthy as, “having what you need plus a little more.”
That’s all most people want. Since inheriting enough from my parents a few years ago to retire, the relief I constantly feel from not worrying about money is a treasure beyond value. Through my whole career I always looked forward to retirement simply as having a lot of free time. But the freedom from thinking about money is way more powerful - it’s like going from treading water to sitting in a lawn chair. I’ve always been a fan of things like universal healthcare and UBI, but this experience has solidified that. Everyone should have this level of peace and security, not just those of us who are lucky enough.

Cool, I will take a look. Intuitively that seems about right to me. I was just saying the world definitely wouldn’t freeze overnight.

Sleep is for people who don’t know how to write code!

The only way to get the right answer would involve doing math and knowing enough climatology and geology to do the right math, so I dunno.
- Comment on Gottem. :) 3 weeks ago:
According to astronomers the sun doesn’t have a measurable effect on the night sky when it’s more than 18 degrees below the horizon. So I doubt naked-eye observers would notice.

We would need enough advance notice to prepare for massively farming mushrooms or something underground to eat. Canned food will run out in a few years, even military MREs have a shelf life. A few lucky people might survive a generation, but there’s a minimal breeding stock requirement to avoid degeneration from inbreeding. Extremely long odds, I think the human race would only survive this event in a sci-fi fantasy story.

Wherever you live on the Earth’s surface starts cooling every time the sun goes down, and gets warmed up again the next day. It wouldn’t cool any faster if the sun went away, it would just keep cooling at the same rate until the surface eventually froze.
- Comment on Gottem. :) 3 weeks ago:
I really doubt we would notice, because then gravity would already feel different during the day and night. Technically the sun pulls us away from the Earth in the daytime and toward Earth at night. Also toward the east at sunrise and the west at sunset. I don’t think we ever feel this.
- Comment on Gottem. :) 3 weeks ago:
Good one! If the moon isn’t visible and you were just sitting outside say at midnight, I wonder if you would notice anything different.
