- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 5 hours ago:
I'd think not a lot higher than currently.
Thos says average land elevation is 840m
https://www.studycountry.com/wiki/what-is-the-average-elevation-of-the-worldSpread that over the other 70% of the surface and your probably down at a 3-400 hundred metres you floated it on top of the sea. Which i think is approxiimately the same thing if the land displaces its volume equally. I guess there'd be a decent amount of compression though so, my guess is mot much more than a few hundred metres.
Anyway, I'm sure the good people of the Netherlands will find a way to foil your dastardly scheme.
- Comment on Is AI’s Circular Financing Inflating a Bubble? [YT | 25'13"] 11 hours ago:
OK for timekeeping but I'd say that's mostly for human scale stuff and as you say involves dumb stuff like leap seconds every handful of years, and presumably the Earth's spin and orbits will change more radically eventually - i guess we're just expecting humans to die out before it becomes too much more of a problem.
But thinking about measuring for science - irrespective of human geocentrism?
Should scientific measures all be built up from planck units or something?

Genuine question, do you think seconds are sensibly defined either in SI or otherwise?
- Comment on Banana 1 day ago:
They automatically come with a sense of scale.
- Comment on life purpose 3 days ago:
My first job was all small rooms of 4-6 desks. Rigid desks, with stuff like drawers where you could keep stuff. Enough space for a few desktop computers, crt monitors, in trays, out trays, reference books and files and still space to work.
Way better than the open plan that came along and the desks gradually shrank down to a small square on a single large shared table who'se thin badly supported top is vibrating from everyone else typing.
I'm sure a 70s typing pool type situation would have been worse - but personally my situation has regressed a lot closer to that now. WFH is more productive just because i have enough space for the way i work.
I'd love a cubicle office - never actually worked in one - but I doubt it be as good as the small room setup was .
- Comment on The AWS Outage Was a Nightmare for College Students 3 days ago:
Glad to see all these supposedly smart people are just as fucking stupid as normals.
Still it's a weird kind of nightmare - i remember being a student when the libraries closed early on Sundays .
It was so unbearably awful that I was compelled to go to the pub and play pool - and condemned to a future life of poverty and shame. - Comment on American public transit 5 days ago:
Yes, they just have to "run it at a loss". Instead of trying to drive up the fares trying to reach "profitable" levels.
A lot of the savings should come from reduced road deterioration and lower road maintenance costs.

- Comment on Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support? 1 week ago:
I dunno, personally I'd rather know about this type of stuff - before this I'd have thought about buying or recommending it - it seems decent enough.
Although, I doubt I'd ever have bought one at those prices so maybe irrelevant.
But this will be enough that even if i do win the premium bonds, I won't get one and I won't recommend anyone else. Some shit does continue to stink.Any twat who thinks they are "building a wide tent" by tolerating nazis is pretty much a self defeating prophecy, or just a nazi trying to hide it.
I'd just rather the title was clearer - I have no idea what an 'omarchy/dhh/hyprland' is, and I don't see how those words help the headline at all. Though anything with "hh" is immediately suspect - so that gives a cryptic hints what the title might be insinuating.
I think title should just say for 'promoting nazi stuff'. If anyone cares about the details of these obscure projects then they can read more of the article.Do people feel they have to be crypto-antifascist now? That's a bit of a scary turn of events.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Good for you - but that's not everyone's experience.
So don't put your experience on others either.I'm sure it works the other way round, just as often.
But that last time when my sister was literally filling out an RMA form for a perfectly functional disk drive because her brand new laptop wouldn't play a DVD. That was the last straw for me and windows. (except at work of course until/ unless I can get a better job).Windows, 20 minutes of being advertised at like the internet before pop-up blockers, being pushed to windows store to buy the film again from them, trying a few different media players from the store, various googling - i cant even remember if i was able to install vlc before giving up and going debian - fuck that, unusable, and she couldn't do it either, so that was at least two of us in the well-below-average slice of the distribution of windows users.
Linux mint live iso booted about 5-10 mins to burn it and boot, play dvd (I dont even think i had to install vlc). Plus a bit of time to figure out how to get the boot menu. So maybe she was above average in debian users?
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Guess what, just like you dgaf about all the windows issues i have that you don't; i also dgaf about all the linux issues that you have that i don't.
It should be a mater of choice, but it isn't. I don't get a choice about windows for 7.5 hours a day because too many humans are fucking cunts - plus a lot of anti-competitive business practices and grooming lncompetence in corpo procurement . I don't really blame ms for that i blame people who keep paying them to make their shit worse, and the procurement rules that they come up with to bend themselves over that barrel.
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 weeks ago:
There was some guy on telly did a test.
Half the group had to eat oranges.
The other half had to drink orange juice.
Then swapped them over the next day.
I can't remember the exact setup but i think it was like 'eat/drink as much as you want, stop when you feel full'.Everyone was able to consume far, far more calories in juice form and probably far more sugar than they needed.
I think like even eating enough oranges for 1x300ml glass was hard for many people to do in fruit form.
Basically, the rest of the orange filled them up and that's what we're better evolved for: slower digestion of a more varied mush and lots of fibre and stuff like that.The juice is far too easy for us to eat way more than needed.
