IMO the laundry thing is an easy example of the larger issue of extreme privilege. Being able to live on a rich friend’s property in the woods by a pond sounds awesome. I’m sure I would love that and it would do amazing things for my well-being. But that’s just not a relatable thing for most people and it can really sour the message.
Except, ideally, a PhD thesis. Which should contain a completely new piece of information for the world.
There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.
All renewable energy comes from the sun, which is a giant fusion reactor. Seems like it might be a good idea to study and understand the concept.
I have a few of these as well. Electric resistive heating like this is pretty safe. There’s no control logic or anything, just a passive, high resistance wire. If a wire breaks it’s going to just stop working. Unless you plug it in in the wrong country there’s really no way for it to overheat.
Not to mention cats are pretty smart and will just leave when they’re uncomfortable.
It was a game set in Eberron.
My profile pic is Hesitan, a half-elf druid, dragon marked member of house Lyrandar and accomplished airship pilot.
Hestian’s recently discovered half-sister Mardu, a vengeance paladin, aberrant marked, and a survivor of a Breland suicide squad during the war. Not to mention an excellent weaver.
Ragnar, a dragonborn rune fighter, retired war hero, and accomplished chef (with his own food truck) from the eastern jungles of Q’barra.
Lathe, a warforged artificer and his loyal companion Ward. Once a worker in House Cannith’s warforged factories. On an epic quest to rediscover the secrets of creating warforged to allow his people to control their own destiny.
Elena, a ranger and dragon marked member of house Vadalis and her bird companion. An expert and researcher on the Mournland and its aberrant denizens.
The DM of our D&D game commissioned art of our party at the end of the campaign. My profile is a crop of my character.
I think it’s a typo and they mean the decrease in gravitational force goes from exponential to linear, but continues decreasing.
In the short term, only the children of the wealthy could continue into higher education. Anyone else who had dreams of doing anything that required higher ed, including professions that are already in short supply like doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, would be SOL. I can see how “starve the beast” makes an appealing, easy to understand fix for the issues in higher education, but I think the cost to people is too high to do it like that.
It’s also an excellent proof of concept for how to test with antimatter. Anyone who designs a test using anti hydrogen will look back at their methodology.
I assume the NFL is/was a 501c6 tax exempt organization since it calls out football leagues specifically.
You’d be looking for 501c3 organizations which does include churches and other dubious religious affiliated organizations but not all federal non-profits.
During the Communist revolution the republic government was losing pretty badly and fell back to the very defensible island. They’ve been there ever since with their official name: the Republic of China. So there’s some civil war tension there and a lot of claims of who’s the rightful ruler of China.
Well no, it’s the same parts. It’s literally called the matter stream. The exact same parts are taken apart, moved to a new location, and reassembled.
If you arm gets cut off, you and your arm go together to the hospital, and they reattach it, are you a different person? If you die in the ambulance and they revive you, are you a different person?
1 in the garage, 2 in the basement. Plus a pocket knife on each floor.
I think you missed the mark a little bit on what voting is on a forum like this or reddit. Voting is crowd sourced content curation/moderation. Like content creation it brings value to a site, limiting it or making users pay for it seems counter to achieving a well curated community.
Extremely, that tire is going to blow at any moment. Probably the next time they hit a bump at high speed.
startrek.website is the best instance according to dessalines.
I couldn’t find a good one on their site so I downloaded the app. It’s a fancy notes app with templates for a bunch of different things. The hook seems to be the decentralized sync system.
I actually think your hypothetical smoker is a great example of the opposite. Someone who lived it, understands the struggle, and ultimately regrets their choices is exactly who you want to hear from. It’s why the really cheesy don’t smoke PSAs don’t ring a chord with most people, they don’t feel genuine.
I don’t think Thoreau is some enormous hypocrite, but I do absolutely understand why some people might feel bitter about it when they learn the greater context.
