If anything is touching me in even a slightly wrong way (which clothes usually do), I can’t sleep.

Sure, it can’t count how many Rs are in strawberry, but it definitely for sure can predict future affairs in bean stew ingredients. /s

“Yeah I want to be a coal miner. I want to fuck up my health, the health of the environment, the health of anyone nearby, all just to make somebody else a profit with a product that is more expensive than the clean alternatives”

Yeah, that’s pretty similar, the main difference being the setting. For me, I can only really tolerate books if they’re science fiction for some reason.

But yeah, that book was so bad it honestly makes me want to take a crack at the idea myself and see if I can do it better.

I know I probably can’t, I have very little writing experience. But it’s gotta be at least worth the attempt.

100%

Honestly everyone hot.

Not a film, but a novel:

Starflight 3000 by R.W. Mackelworth

If I remember, it was about this asteroid called “The Biosphere” that got hollowed out and sent on relativistic speeds through deep space to seed other solar systems with human colonies. The inside of it was set up like a giant rural town with massive skies, and a foot print the size of New York. And that’s a cool ass premise.

But the book was so fucking milquetoast and bland. I could not tell you anything about the protagonist, their challenges, or anything.

I don’t know where “🏳️‍⚧️” is, but all the girls from there are hot.

The tardigrade party is better for microbe rights though. And they don’t give a fuck about gravity, they’re willing to let it die as it should have.

A potential strategy for using it for good would be dealing with the problem of comparitive effort to spread and debunk bullshit. It takes very little effort to spread bullshit. It takes a lot of effort to debunk it.

An LLM doesn’t need to worry about effort. It can happily chug away debunking bullshit all day long, at least, if you ignore the problem of them not being able to reason, and the other ongoing problems with LLMs. But there is potential for it being a part of the solution here.

That’s what I did. Not all my gen ed classes transferred, but plenty transfered for it to be worth it, especially because my community college ended up being free for me through a local government program.

Using their example of industrial heat, I think they’re overstating how fucked this is in terms of technology:

Take industrial heating as an example. By some estimates, 10% of global emissions come from industrial heat, the high-intensity heat needed to produce steel, cement and other materials. Those high temperatures come from burning fossil fuels, and we don’t currently have the means of replacing those fossil fuels with alternate green sources of high heat

The thing is, for this example, we do have the technology, the catch is the cost:

In terms of production costs, one ton of steel currently costs in the order of €400, which includes about €50 required for the coal used. Replacing this coal with hydrogen would require around €180 worth of hydrogen at current best prices (€3.6/kg), which would increase the total price of a ton of steel by about one third. If the large-scale production of hydrogen drives down the price of hydrogen to €1.80/kg by 2030, the price difference between conventional steel and steel produced by green hydrogen would drop to the order of 10 %.

Capitalism is definitely contributing to this part of the problem, but it isn’t alone. This is a switching cost, one inherent to decarbonizing industry, and so it will be a problem regardless of the economic model used (assuming the same output of steel). The rest of this article has good insights.

How can the onion ever hope to compete with reality

There was no time component specified by which ownership is kept or lost

Nor did I say there was.

This is one of the prime cruxes of the private property argument is the ability for some to own property they don’t occupy all the time.

The time has nothing to do with this.

My group did a multi-shot where we played ourselves, and we each set each other’s stats. Each of us took a turn being DM so we could each play ourselves.

Mine was something like 8, 9, 8, 14, 12, 8

I’d have to dig up that ancient sheet to know for sure.

Then I spent a decent chunk of the campaign trying to build a phone charger out of random things you’d find in Chult.

/u/Zexks@lemmy.world is doing so.

You’re making up a rule that isn’t a part of the definition of personal property.

Your home is still the place you live at even if you’re not currently in it. You address doesn’t change the moment you step out of your house does it? You use it by it being your place of residence, and that happens at all times.

We’re on the same page then.

Private property yes, personal property no

Landlords are parasites.
