So woodland that can’t have a permanent dwelling is affordable but woodland that can is cheap?
Like that would make sense if the construction of the building was different but if it’s simply just how often you can spend time on your own land that’s ridiculous
Not from the UK but why can’t you live in a cabin?
A car weighs 2000-4000lbs and can be produced in a mostly automated factory
A reasonable sized house still weighs 50-100k lbs that’s a lot more material and you have the land it is built on. It then takes multiple people days to build.
Houses being as affordable as cars is a pipe dream
The time scale is the other big difference. A credit card is intended to be paid off at the end of the month and gives you much better fraud protection than a debit card
Products like klarna instead have you pay off a tv over months and offer you no real benefit besides racking up debt
They have late fees and can have incredibly high interest if you pay late.
1 in 10 for $30 includes every single man, woman, and child in the United States. In reality there is a much smaller group spending much more money and developing a revolving door of debt where they are chronically in debt for non essential purchases and as soon as one of those payments goes late they will be slapped with a bunch of late fees and interest that will make them miss other payments and get even more late fees and interest until they end up underwater
Klarna got 2.8B in revenue last year and they did it with those “interest free” loans
They sell it, some of it is sold to advertisers but recently companies like palantir have been buying these large collections of data, de anonymizing it and then they can use it to develop profiles about people which they can then sell to the government
And that’s what they admit to doing
Once your data is out there it’s essentially impossible to get it back
You know rough dimensions you don’t have a robot going through and literally mapping every item on the floor, high traffic areas , details about amount of people that live there, possible pets, and then tying it to your IP and then selling that to advertisers.
The crazy thing isn’t that they do that it’s that you have to pay money for an item that then does that without your permission and if you attempt to stop it they brick your item that you paid hundreds of dollars for
I don’t know for certain if they sell your data (but they probably do) but you can use a wifi router and how it reflects in a room you can fully map a room with enough accuracy that you can tell what a person is typing on a keyboard which is kind of terrifying if you think about it
“The calculated growth factor of the NFD due to the increase in Keff does not exceed 1.27,”
I am not positive but I think they mean the increase of neutron flux density does not exceed 1.27 and the cause of the increase of neutron flux is to due to an increase in Keff. Because otherwise 1.27 is prompt criticality and that would be a very bad day
Took two appeals and 7 months but I finally got UHC to cover a test. The final successful action was a screenshot from the plan brochure that showed that they needed to cover it…
Racism towards clankers? Maybe I’m not up to date on my lingo but aren’t clankers, robots, I.e. not a race? Or am I missing something?
You can make fun of stereotypes without being racist.
This is literally just a commentary on how JK Rowling wrote her other characters like Cho Chang and Kingsley shacklebolt.
No reasonable person is offended by the joke because it’s making fun of the stereotype not of the actual race.
I could be mistaken but wasn’t the issue that when the rods were fully withdrawn the graphite was also partially withdrawn so when they scrammed the first thing that happened was an insertion of positive reactivity from the graphite which was enough positive reactivity to burn up all the xenon which then caused the reactor to go prompt critical?
Like the presence of the graphite wasn’t that bad but it combined with a lack of interlocks and improperly trained operators was the big problem and of course trying to start up at the peak of a xenon transient is never ideal
Well it can activate water itself and make F-18, H-3, and N-17 from just H20
Pu 239 which is the kind that we use the most since it’s the most fissile has a half-life of around 25k years and alpha decays so its very unlikely that it is heat from radioactivity. It may be heat from forging.
DEI is not about having quotas for X amount of every group even though people like to spout that nonsense. It’s about removing hurdles that people may have that may seem innocuous
For example if a job that is done fully remote is requiring people to interview in person a DEI analysis would look at that and say that’s not very inclusive of the disabled who may struggle to do the in person interview even though they can perform all the duties of their job with their disability so we should offer remote interviews
Like all other initiatives that start off fine, you also do just end up with some upper manager who tells some random middle manager with no experience to make things more DEI and that middle manager does some stupid shit
There is literally a law that prevented things like posting “this shutdown is caused by radical left democrats” on the banner of official governement websites
It has literally never been done before
You can make an argument for some amount of propaganda that lives in everything but nobody ever posted a picture of a bag of cocaine and used it to blame a previous president….
This is magnitudes above anything that was done before it’s like comparing casual trash talk to sucker punching
Using it to insert AI generated propaganda onto official government websites is a brand new thing that’s never been done before
It didn’t say in the article but would you have empathy if he was special needs. Because I am also at a loss for how a non special needs child could eat hundreds of magnets
I had not heard of candle power before but foot-candles always gets a chuckle out of me for ridiculous name
That is just such a strange law
I tried googling it because I was curious and the only thing I could find was about temporary structures
Is there a name for the law that I could search?
