middle person in the back face expression sums it up

i know poop knife but not knifey spooney

You were told she doesn’t actually find it hot, that’s why you said that.

It’s for when you can’t find the right other place to post it :)

Like, there’s no big community willing to absorb your thoughts already.

you are the beginning of something great :3

i don’t get the joke. :( can we still be friends?

I did it: !bathtubthoughts@discuss.tchncs.de

Calling him a “genius” is overdoing it, i think. He just interpreted the signals of the time, before anyone else did. He guessed correctly that the west is too fractured and weak to defend Ukraine.

To the US, this is all just a distraction scheme from economic problems at home, and they know it.

People are poor and looking for anything to make them feel alive again.

The thing is that population numbers isn’t everything, it’s also about what that population is doing. A tree has a thousand times the mass of a patch of grass but produces the same photosynthesis or sth.

That’s because the tree is massive due to its trunk, which is dead weight and doesn’t do much.

Because nobody in Europe wants to fight

other phones are cheaper mostly due to economies of scale, though. like, idk, china makes a few million phones at once, while in europe they make, what, a few thousand phones at once?

does anybody have experience with the Jolla C2 Community Phone?

the price is listed as 285€, which is about the maximum i’d be willing to pay for a phone. does the device work well? does it run smoothly? does the OS work well enough? (it’s some custom linux-based OS with android app compatibility, they write on their website)

yeah it’s sth like 1% of humanity’s total land area usage (i did that math last week). 97% of humanity’s land area usage go to agriculture

yeeah, i had that thought too. thing is, it’s significantly easier to build solar parks on flat ground than on rooftops, simply because of installment cost.

i remember seeing a plot that says that installing rooftop solar is about twice as expensive than flat area solar (for the same kWp), but i can’t find the diagram anymore, after looking for it on the internet for 5 minutes.

within city limits

it was more a size comparison, i didn’t really mean to say that it has to be within city borders. cables can cross political borders, of course.

yeah i included manufacturing because i was like “most big factories are in or close to big cities, because that’s where the workforce lives, so it makes sense to build factories there. and factories need energy.”

ofc small variations in power are a given, because you have things like electricity being more efficient than oil, so you need fewer kWh, and such.

My dad never had the patience to write a single python program. Last year (2025) he wrote an entire android app that displays values from some hardware sensor graphically (with a neat animation) in like 1 week with the help of chatgpt. it does help people. it makes mistakes, but so do humans. the question is, is it more productive to do with than without? and i’d say, for some use-cases it’s more productive with than without.
