But every person has a finite amount of time, and being required to learn a skill to function in society simply because society has decided to require it is a waste of the most valuable resource we have.
I can appreciate useful skills, like how to make rope or make a meal or change a diaper, but being able to drive is only useful because we have made it necessary. I’d rather people have time to learn skills that have some inherent use than have to waste time learning how to drive.
Makes sense - socks are way cheaper than shoes!
Sorry your education didn’t work out so well for you.
That is a nonsense statement. The vast majority of stars are already erased for the vast majority of humans. 57% live in cities, 80% live in urban areas. You’re lucky is you can see constellations in many cities, let alone the dimmer stars.
I’m not saying this isnt a problem, but this is possibly the worst framing of it that you can give.
Weapon of mass reduction.
I just started playing Vintage Story. Upsides: no taxes, and my house can be as big or small as I want it. Downsides: I will have to slave away every day or I will die, and will probably die repeatedly even if I do. Sort-of upside: dying is merely inconvenient (so far, anyway).
My kids and I still talk about the Prometheus school of running from things. “Oh look, a giant wheel of death is rolling towards me! Surely if I stay on the exact path it is following I will be safe! And I can certainly outrun the giant wheel of death, so why wouldn’t I?” Proceeds to get crushed by the giant wheel of death. This scene is representative of much of the film. Pretty pictures, lots of destruction, check your brain at the door.
Yeah, I don’t think many people call it fun, but like you said it also isn’t a great way to make money.
On the flip side, Uber is basically a hobby. Do these people buy their cars just to drive for Uber, or do they drive for Uber to make some extra cash with the car they already have/need?
Like the old saying. Armchair generals talk strategy (and maybe testosterone levels). Real generals talk logistics (and maybe if their troops fuck).
Well, thats interesting too! And the shitpost still gave me a chuckle.
I’m a little offended at referring to her as the director’s assistant, given what she actually did. It could have been just as good a shitpost if she had been referred to as his screenwriter and not diminished how instrumental she was.
Exactly the answer I expected.
This really is the best answer if you want to test frequently with quick results. Aquarium test strips usually use ppm, and the number you’re looking for is less than 3 ppm, but 20 ppm is considered acceptable. There are many test kits that will show for less than 10 ppm and 10 to 25 ppm. If you’re in the first range, you’re pretty much okay.
It also isn’t a bad idea to send your water for regional testing, too, so they have another endpoint in their system for testing (or if you’re on your own well so you know if it’s safe).
So, what would you do if you won?
Often, people look to the internet to learn things. Given that circu.stance, they may not have that foundational knowledge. So how are those scrubs supposed to git gud?
I get what you’re saying, but a realistic temperature for cooking only makes sense if you’re familiar with cooking. I’m sure there was someone who was wondering why their cookies weren’t cooking at 175° F or utterly annihilated them at 350° C. It’s just a couple extra characters, anyway.
As I said in another comment, this is a step towards making a more efficient hybrid plane for trips under 500 miles, of which about 4 million are made per year in the U.S. alone. Having enough battery power to take off efficiently makes those trips a lot more economical. On longer flights, fuel for takeoff is a lot smaller portion of the overall costs and doesn’t matter as much. Except for all the fossil fuel burned, of course.
I found them more fun than work after 8 or 10.
