• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what happens when you cut something?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It will remove some amount of material when you cut.

  If it is enough for anyone to care about is another question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you a market or supermarket enthusiast?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t have any local markets. In the south you can pick up some groceries straight from the farmer but I live too far north for farming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why is fossil fuel still used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s cheap and easy to produce. Biofuels compete with food and forests. Not sure how much waste products can cover. Either way the biodiesel is about twice the price of the regular stuff here and has a lower tax rate than regular diesel (~43% tax rate)

  It has a very high energy density. First Google result approx 10x that of batteries in EVs.

  All the infrastructure is already built. EVs are becoming better and better options but the grid needs to be upgraded and the generation capacity increased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Change my Mind⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If saws were effective they would use them to hammer in nails.

  Wrong tool for the job is never going to be effective. Show me a politician who rarely (if ever) debates and gets elected from advertising alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only one who buycott established companies who spend money to advertise their business?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see any adverts due to extensive adblock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what you want to achieve.

  It’s a hedge against inflation. So in times of high inflation and economic uncertainty it will do well.

  Keeping a small amount in a safe in case the world goes to shit, well only after you have a pile of guns, ammunution and canned food.

  It’s not a productive asset. If you buy stocks you’ll probably be better off in the long run.

  That being said your investment portfolio should not be only one kind of investment and gold should probably be a part of it eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's so annoying⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are addons that try to auto decline all. They do a reasonable job at it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are people with High functioning autism allowed to become police officers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of the job is about dealing with people that are not rational for the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's this ram price surge thing going on in the memes? Is this gonna affect pre-builts, laptops, tablets, phones, and other electronics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The AI industry drives up demand and production capacity takes long to increase.

  Eventually it will influence consumer electronics. The more similar the ram is the faster it will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨they know what they need to do⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Energy is cheap when I don’t use much of it and expensive when I need a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you post a meme if its only half-political? c/memes or c/political memes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Dial the politics up or down and post accordingly or you run the risk of pissing off both crowds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did the proposed *Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance* project involve pumping water instead of siphoning it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If any point is 10m above input surface you can’t siphon or suck water through. You have to push it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who shops at small businesses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Carpenter, plumber, electricians and similar tradesmen about half of them work for or run a small to medium business where I live.

  Dentists, hairdressers, lawyers also come to mind.

  There are a lot of machine shops that are small businesses too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I would move on.

  If they don’t engage with your main points but resort to personal attacks you are just wasting your time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any guesses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know but I’m pretty sure R is for racing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there is not a pope without grey hair? I mean a much younger pope like 30s 40s. Really can't be that hard. You got an ocean of cardinals and priests who pretty much tell say?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because he is elected for life so having long track record of things he has done is important to figure out if he is suitable for he job.

  And if he turns out to be a bad pope he will see himself or soon enough. Pun intended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life sadly rarely plays out like in Hollywood movies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How often do you see logs dropped along a road anyway? I would not count on getting hit by one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More madness and less method the more tabs are open is my guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can easily hit 30 tabs split roughly 5-10 tabs about the same topic and 3-5 topics going at the same time.

  There is about a weeks lag time from moving on from one topic to closing the tabs.

  I am never close to 100. I don’t even think there are 100 interesting pages on the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assuming humanity last another few hundred years; How many human languages do you think are gonna be left in 100 years? In 200 years?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  100 years: same amount as today minus a couple of dozen where no children currently speak them. Some people born today will be alive in 2125. (And I’m envious Idon’t get to see the future)

  200 years? There is conscious effort to preserve minority languages , so hopefully the extinction slows down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can posts like this actually be real?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can be: yes. Likely: No.

  It reads like it was meant to confuse you, not to get any point across.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First step should probably be looking for an asexual guy.

  I don’t think a high or even average sex drive guy in his 20-30 would be very happy. But there are low drive guys too, and if you keep looking you’re doomed to succeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess? Piss off Europe so that they take charge instead of deferring to the US.

  This would free up US resources to pivot to the indo Pacific region and countering China.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Going further with wikipedias article and some of their bullshit jobs listed:

  Telemarketing: I sell stuff.

  Corporare lawyer: I explain law.

  Academic administratrors: I administer students/professors

  Compliance officer: I check compliance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🚣 🚣⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  🚣 Cash up front or I’ll use it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take the plea deal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plea deals are made beforehand, so you’d negotiate that with Trump admin. Pardons may be given after, but the likely candidates in the line of succession are appointed by the Trump admin, or in the case of an (extra) election you have no clue who it will be.

  The better idea is to probably to suck up to Trump even more and hope he or one of his successors pardon you.

  Or just flee to a country that does not extradite to the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would increasing populations of ectothermic animals help climate change much more than increasing wildlife generally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any source of heat that is not the sun is insignificant. Any sink of heat that is not radiating into space is insignificant.

  The energy they use to create movement yes, but that movement turns into sound and heat and the sound eventually turns into heat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a YouTube tutorial on how to grow eggplants. Saves you a fortune.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Love won’t pay the bills. I’m not sure it’s possible to make minimum wage with manboobs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨challenge⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the ruling on paying someone to fix a door hinge? Knowing my luck it’s when the bathroom and front door comes off.
