You can talk private if you have a private sauna.
In a public one, nobody wants to listen to others small talk.

It’s not difficult.
Shut the door. Shut up. Sit down and keep your mouth shut.
You are allowed to aks “löyly?” and yell “Shut the door!” at appropriate times, but otherwise just shut the fuck up.

- Comment on Happy labor day to real workers 1 day ago:
It’s the funniest thing that labour day is celebrated on May 1st. almost everywhere else than in USA, because the date of May 1st. was chosen because of the Haymarket Affair in USA.
It was president Cleveland who was afraid that the celebration might strengthen socialist ideas.

- Comment on Would moving/shifting in the 4th (spacial) dimension be fatal? 4 days ago:
I suppose it depends on what shape you already have in the 4th dimension.
If you or the current 3d space don’t already occupy any length in the 4th dimension, then you’d simply disappear from the world, or from your point of view, the world around you would disappear. Just like a cutout stick figure on a piece of paper.
Now, you can obviously move a flat piece of paper upwards without destroying the drawing, so if your friend is kind enough to include your surroundings in the dimensional shifting, then you’d be fine. Fly around the 4th dimension in your bedroom or whatever.
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 4 days ago:
Be vocal about it. Not just online. Word of mouth is much stronger than a thousand online posts.
Posting about it on the fediverse does jack shit, because we already agree. Posting on Facebook or shitter where the boot lockers are also does jack shit, because the algorithm will sort your opinion out of where it needs to be, and it’s cost free for them to post their angry indoctrinated talking points.
However there’s absolutely nothing Zuckerberg or Musk can do to stop you from expressing your opinion to your family and friends in real life.
I’m fucking done with avoiding topics of politics out of politeness at family gatherings. I have absolutely no desire to cozy up in unspoken agreements of class war or racism or fascism.
I speak up, and so should you. Keep in mind that you need to repeat a point at least 3 times before they even begin thinking about it themselves. And that’s what you want: Them to start thinking. They will come to right conclusion if they just start thinking.

It is over production.
If a manufacturer sells out the entire production, it means that they’ve missed potential sales. They could have produced and sold more, so that’s what they’re going to do for next season.
When a company has over production, they won’t just drop the price to hand off the products. To some degree they do, in outlets and other off season sales that don’t interfere with the main sale. But even then, there’s a lower limit to how cheap they can sell it off without damaging their perceived price point. Wholesale buyers are not going to buy from a brand that can’t keep a high enough price for the retailers to earn money on the markup. The price must be artificially kept up by not making the products available too cheap on the main market. The result is that some items just don’t ever get sold out, only because the product has lost its resale value. That’s over production.
Budgets go up, because the owners want more. If they had owners who were satisfied with making less money consistently, they could easily adjust their production to the demand and settle for that steady income. But they want more, so they will always attempt to sell more.
What EU is doing now is to force the manufacturers to pay for the damage of their overproduction. The solution for the companies to avoid this is to figure out their actual sales better and/or make on-demand production. On-demand production of textile is difficult, because even fast fashion has a pipeline of about a year, and they need to know well in advance how much textile they need to make the products. A solution to that is to forget about fast fashion and make products that are sold over several seasons instead, and by using more basic textiles in their designs instead of printed patterns that only have appeal for a very limited time.

The developing countries don’t want our surplus, because it stops them from developing their own local production and markets.
- Comment on No Such Thing 1 week ago:
This might be semantic, but it’s not by design. There is no design.
The purpose is to fuck people over, because the purpose of a system is what the system does, regardless of what it was designed to do.
- Comment on The uber wealthy arent leaving. Its a lie. 1 week ago:
Of course not.
Imagine feasting at an all-you-can-eat buffet with all variations of food from all over the world, and then the waiter informs you that you can have as much of everything as you like for free, except that you’re not allowed to eat the last slice of cucumber if there’s only one left.
Would you leave?

Yeah about that… nothing modern about it. That’s what it was supposed to be by the old observations when people had actual scarcity of … wheat and corn or whatever.
It doesn’t work for alcohol today. There are still people doing moonshine brew because it can’t get cheap enough. The demand will never reach a bottom nor a peak.
It’s layers of markets. If you can’t sell your shit brew at “market price” you can always dump the price and reach a new market of bottom feeders or go the other way and pay influencer to make a silly drinking game to make artificial scarcity in the upper market.
There’s always enough supply and demand that everything is possible.

- Comment on Anon is only a little strange 2 weeks ago:
It can be both. It doesn’t push the iceberg videos to me, so I guess they’re not trending in my kind of demography.
I usually find new things by the suggestions that are related to the channels that I do watch, not from the general feed, which is useless. So I basically only watch the stuff that I subscribe to, making my own feed with those.
- Comment on Anon is only a little strange 2 weeks ago:
The reaction videos make no sense to me either. The few that pop into my feed are usually just some face nodding and barely reacting to an endless stream of slop shorts.
- Comment on A Finnish town is heating itself with 2,000 tonnes of crushed rock: its giant “sand battery” can cover almost a month of heating demand and has cut district heating emissions by 70% 2 weeks ago:
Take heat from homes
That’s the tricky part.
This sand battery works by offsetting the production of heat to be used in an already existing district heating system.
That system does not easily change into a district cooling system. It is simply not built to run in reverse. Every part of it from production through distribution, exchanging and in-house distribution are made with one purpose: To transfer heat in one direction.
It makes sense to use renewable energy to charge this battery, so they don’t need as much fossil fuel or whatever they use normally.
But, if we were to make a district wide hvac-system the same way, it would probably be better and more efficient to simply use individual airconditioners using the renewable energy directly.
