Given the quote you were responding to, I totally expected this kind of spike (although in a quick skim I didn’t actually see him using it on a tomato like he usually does)

Why don’t they just automatically clear the time if it’s a small amount and it hasn’t been used in much more time than is left?

A lot if it’s butter or pop tarts. Not much for most other things.

It can easily go the other way. I had a contact during which I lost a relationship right after losing my dad. Failed to deal with it, and soon after lost the contract too.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible to construct a self reproducing mechanical device? 1 month ago:
Constraint 5 seems like an odd addition, why wouldn’t you want something like this to also be potentially useful? I would imagine if anyone does this for real it probably would break that constraint (as the xenobots do), because there’s a good chance the builders would try to accomplish something with it.

Your link is missing the https:// so it doesn’t work in at least some clients. Working link.

- Comment on Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise? 2 months ago:
It’s usually in the context of there not being a single app alternative (like WhatsApp or that one China uses) which took off before SMS became unlimited here, so SMS is the default if you want to exchange text messages with someone or if a company does.

Well, I suppose I could actually pay attention to your username.

Skimming the Readme and the Philosophy documents, this seems really nice to me, and like a lot of thought has gone into the design.

Huh. That page and your other links aren’t working for me (504 gateway timeout) but the codeberg home page is working. Weird.
- Comment on Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise? 2 months ago:
Interesting. What country are you in? Whenever SMS comes up on the Internet usual people mention it being a US thing almost exclusively.

What is it article 1.4 of? Where are the rest of the articles?

In the US. I’m assuming OP is not in the US.

They sure do. Tragic how bullying ends up being passed along like that.

Don’t know why, and maybe the prompt says to occasionally make a mistake or something? Or could be hand edited after it was generated, but I also don’t know why.

The rambling ‘questions’ like this are bot posts.
- Comment on Since light cannot pass through a black hole does that mean light has mass? Also why does light form a singularity in a black hole? Is that like a fixed point on a map or something? 2 months ago:
Yeah, just get a tester. In reality the weight difference is immeasurably small (like completely swamped by dust particles)
- Comment on Since light cannot pass through a black hole does that mean light has mass? Also why does light form a singularity in a black hole? Is that like a fixed point on a map or something? 2 months ago:
It’s “yes, but not rest mass.” - light has energy and energy is mass. (Specifically m=E/c²)
In theory a sensitive enough scale could measure the difference between a charged battery and a drained one* without the battery gaining or losing any matter. Not even electrons, since each one leaving the negative end is replaced by one going in the positive end, and vice versa when charging. This is the type of mass light has, just pure energy.
*I did the math a while back and if I remember right for a typical AA size Ni-MH battery the difference would be about the weight of a bacterium.

That’s exactly what the article I linked was about.
- Comment on Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out? 2 months ago:
Oh sure, I am sure they weren’t saying humanity would last that long (although technology may help), just ‘any plants’.
- Comment on Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out? 2 months ago:
I recently saw an estimate of around 2 billion more years.
- Comment on Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out? 2 months ago:
I think civilization in its current form may end, and with it billions of people, but as a species we are pretty adaptable, I think there will be lots of survivors and they will be able to thrive eventually.
But I think it’s even more likely that there won’t be any one big collapse, and things will either oscillate or reach a steady equilibrium for millennia to come.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 months ago:
“Bad” is of course subjective, but the games I play most are gacha games. Amazing graphics and music, etc. in a free to play* game.
*Of course they are designed to inspire spending money, and I do somewhat: The fixed monthly IAPs only, if I would need to spend extra to get a specific character or weapon I wait for a rerun.
But I like anime girls, and these games are full of them.
