- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 1 week ago:
It it was my choice I would try to learn the language of the culture I’m most interested in
- Comment on Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines? 2 weeks ago:
It seems like everyone wants to get on board and try it in case it takes off.
If it works they want to be the first to get really good at it and if it doesn’t the normal search engines are still there to fall back on.
At the moment it feels like the 3D tv hype. A lot of cool technologies that were expensive and ultimately not worth it. Maybe that will change as time goes on.

So that’s where madam comes from

“Hey does this smell like chloroform to you?”
- Comment on Is Catholic dating culture often mistaken for incel-style pessimistic desperation? 4 weeks ago:
High risk high reward I guess
In theory you’re not supposed to have pre-marital sex (it happens all the time) and dating would tend to be more serious than casual. Going steady vs hooking up. So yeah I imagine having a relationship not work out carries more weight
But once you get past that you get a long lasting marriage, a family and all the positives that come with that
- Comment on I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life. 4 weeks ago:
This guy knows what he’s talking about

Personally I get more of a reaction from smelling diesel exhaust and smoke at the same time
I’ve never associated dead people smells with food though.
- Comment on I am playing Far Cry 5 do you think it would be possible for the cultists in game to start their own massive movement in todays America? 5 weeks ago:
Say what you want about their morals but the music is a vibe
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Most cell towers have generators but only about 48 hours of fuel. So you might have ways to charge your phone but it might not have a network to connect to
You don’t need a cell signal for GPS signal to work so having some offline maps like OrganicMaps or OSMand can still be useful

- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 month ago:
Nope. Watching a movie about Thor or something is different. It only doesn’t work when you begin to worship Thor over God, which breaks the first commandment
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yep, and all US Citizens have the same rights
Like anything else you can’t expect your political opponents to do the heavy lifting for you.
You want to protest a thing, you go protest. You want 2A you go buy a rifle and get good. From there choose the path you’re willing to follow. Nothing is stopping you but you.
- Comment on light pollution 1 month ago:
New neighbors: Wow being in the country is so scenic and beautiful we can’t wait to be done with city life and build a house here
Also new neighbors: Put in asphalt driveway, fences, and a yard with more exterior lighting than a stadium
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 1 month ago:
The US mil will certainly be negatively effected in the short term if China were to cut/be cut from manufacturing. This substack article is by a retired navy officer who explains it better than I can

And that system is AWESOME and I wish some highways in the US did the same. I fear it would devolve into a regulations nightmare after bubba in his rusted dodge rattles to peices trying to break 80mph.
Flat open highway in between cities in Kansas? Go for it!
But it’s kind of like the US and guns. It’s a cultural ability that is statistically proven to be dangerous and can be seen as too big of a risk for ordinary people to enjoy, and reckless people put the whole acrivity in question.

That is the kind of speed it takes to get a 747 into the air on takeoff.
If you rolled down a back window of a car and stuck your head out (not recommended) you would feel wind that would max out typhoon and hurricane scales, similar to an EF4 Tornado. The skin of your face would flap like fabric, as seen here
- Comment on [Official Announcement] This instance will closing, and all user data will be sold to the highest bidder. 2 months ago:
OMG HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!?!
- Comment on Since militaries are authoritarian, even in democratic countries; What would a military of a stateless/anarchist society look like? 2 months ago:
Structure doesn’t mean authoritarian by default but I see what you mean. Maybe like a reserve/volunteer fire department deal?
You have a normal life but you have some equipment you keep at home or in a car. Rifle, pistol, armor, drones, packs etc, but the heavy equipment is in a dedicated area. Simple training and maintenance is done weekly, larger more objective focused training every quarter or so.
The key would be having armed people outside of that group, not only to boost defensive capability of the community in an emergency but to provide a deterrent to misuse of the defense force. In the words of a Clint Eastwood movie “there are two types of people, those with loaded guns and those who dig”

- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 2 months ago:
You’re right the cold plate sucks out a lot of heat! I sit them in hot water and dry them off before putting the food on

The Science:
/s …kinda. AI is going to make so many things very hard to trust at first glance and it will cause chaos in all kinds of technical fields.
