Replace the gun with a car.
How much of the “outside” can a kid access today without taking the risk of being it by a car ? As soon as he crosses the door of the house he risks his life.
- Comment on Anyone else notice this?? 2 weeks ago:
Solar is not great for heating in winter because solar produces very little energy in winter (which is literally the reason why winter is cold in the first place: less solar radiation).
So even if you have solar, unless your installation is massively oversized you generally don’t have spare every in winter for heating.
Small consumer wind turbines make sense only in limited cases, and I say that as someone who had been building some. Because places with a strong constant wind are limited and generally this is not when houses are built.
See https://globalwindatlas.info/en/
No, what we need is seasonal batteries. A way to store the surplus or solar energy in summer to use it for heating in winter.
Wood is exactly that, solar energy stored in a stable chemical form that is easy to use.

How old was your kid at the time ? You are giving us hope, we need to know!
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 3 weeks ago:
The “grandmother theory” is supporting this idea.
The idea is that past a certain age there is an evolutionary benefit to not be able to have kids anymore. Past a certain age, to pass our genes it’s more beneficial to be able to help descendants with their kids rather than having kids on our own.

Not only does she have 2 nobel prices, but she is the first woman to receive a nobel price in 1903. She is also the only person that ever got two novel prices in two different areas of expertise.

- Comment on Fairphone 6 Teardown: Proof Phones Don’t Have to Be Disposable 2 months ago:
Better for what ?
For repairability ? The fairphone win easily
For privacy ? Graphene OS has a small edge, but e/os or calyx are still way better than stock android.
For not giving your money to evil corporation ? Fairphone is better.

I disagree, using Latin terms means that all technical terms stay the same across languages.

Everyone who reads Tintin knew already since 1954 that there is caves on the moon.
Now we just need a giant red and white rocket to get there.
- Comment on Is there a medieval equivalent of the youtube channel "Primative Technology" 2 months ago:
Not a YouTube channel unfortunately but there are several videos and documentaries about it.
The castle of Guedelon is exactly what you are describing.
In France a group of archeologists decided to build a full castle, from scratch pretending to be in the XIIth century.
A blacksmith is making the tools, they are chopping trees in the first forest around, extracting stones from a local carry, carrying on carts built by the Carpenter, making their own clothes …
It’s amazing !

- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 3 months ago:
Journey
There is not a single word in the game, barely any control but the game take you through an emotional story.
It’s multiplayer in a sense that you might meet another player, they can help you, you can help them or just continue on your path and despite not having any words it just fell like a genuine, pure connection with someone.
And the music is amazing.
- Comment on Anon isn't fooled by planes 3 months ago:
Next time you see a plane imaging two hooks in the middle of the wings, a crane lifting up the plane with these two hooks and shaking it.
This give you a good approximation of what the forces in the plane are, and once you picture that you might think that there is no way the plane can hold up in this situation. Yet it does.
