If your goal is to boil it down to the fundamental levels it’s the ion that’s that cause action potentials that are actually causing thought

If you want to look at it holistically it’s due to the connections of the dendrites and how those interact with each other

We have no control of our neurotransmitters and they are only released in response to stimuli from another cell

If they are such an inexperienced driver or their tires are so unsafe that they can’t drive half the speed limit they shouldn’t be on the road

Or the asshole with awd/4wd that doesn’t realize it doesn’t make your car magic and still ends up in a ditch

Attention isn’t always good, being followed around by a person who can’t pick up social cues who wants to give you all of their attention doesn’t feel good

A girl who wants to hang out with her friends being given unwanted attention by men doesn’t feel good

If I am driving down the road and a cop decides to give me his attention which in the process of, takes away my time and money I am surely going to be upset

Time matters because it’s a limited resource, someone giving you their time means that they have decided to give some of that limited resources to you. It doesn’t always need to be in the form of attention, if I hire a maid and they save me 2 hours of time I don’t need them to sit there and give me attention

Those neurotransmitters just release electrical impulses so if you want to break it down everything about humans reduces down to electricity traveling through out meat

R134 was the “safe” refrigerant to replace R-12 because R12 is 11000x more potent of a ghg than co2

There are some new refrigeration units that use R600 but the vast majority of refrigerators are still R134

R600 being a highly flammable gas (it’s butane) has slowed its rollout a lot. Hence why a solid state non volatile refrigerant is still a cool development

Old school refrigerants were absolutely horrendous ghg even modern ones are pretty bad with R134 being 1430x worse of a ghg than CO2

If we can reduce that, that’s good! And metals like titanium are recyclable so yes initially extracting them is bad but the full lifecycle isn’t as terrible

The price of specific items has doubled

Rent, which has outpaced inflation had a national average of $1149 in 2019 and was $1650 in 2025 in order for average rent to have doubled you have to go all the way back to 2007ish

Instead of tracking a burrito, track how much 1lb of chicken cost or bananas or broccoli

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?

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.
