And this is why I love Todd in the Shadows’s One Hit Wonderland.

I agree that pumping in water at a different temperature can affect the environment. It is just that a lot of people tend to conflate the effluent coming from plants like this as something which needs chemical or other treatment when the issue is thermal only.

There are already heat exchanging systems that do this with brackish water already; you don’t need to treat water if all you ate doing to the water is making the water hotter or colder.

Yeah, you probably could produce a medical tricorder right now which could detect if someone is dead.

Hello. Nice to meet you too. I hope you like it here.

It is great to see that people in China can participate in this little slice of Internet.

What I do now, use old.reddit on my computer and keep to the subs I can’t get on Lemmy.

There may be some mental tasks that other animals can probably do better than humans. However, if you’re talking about complex topics like mathematics, I would bet on modern humans being better given that being good at math is far more likely to be an evolutionary advantage to humans over other animals.

Usually it is intent. Does the stalker show up in multiple places where the stalker knows the stalked is supposed to be? Does the stalker show up to private locations uninvited?

To answer the second part of your question, yes. Improv is good because it forces you, not an external source, to process a set of information quickly to fulfill a stated goal. It is also good for working on public speaking and interpersonal skills.

I knew one engineer who took improv as a way to improve interpersonal skills and to be able to respond faster in client meetings. When talking to them and they brought it up, I responded “Yes, and?”

There kind of was some attempts, but more from the point of view to strip down the language as a way to standardize it:

It isn’t so much a reform on spelling as it is a way to standardize vocabulary to make it as mutually intelligible to non-native speakers

Yeah. If it was just sex, there are states you can go to to get that cleared up.

But if you look at history, there are a lot of unplanned pregnancies which resulted in shotgun weddings and extended family structures which supported these events.

You need to define the design event before determining what the correct course of action is. If it is a natural disaster response, you should have enough food, potable water, and fuel for a few weeks. Anything beyond that and you really need to start questioning how the assumptions affect your prep.

If you’re expecting climate change/agricultural blight, not all crops are going to go at once. You need to select foodstuffs to keep where there aren’t any equivalents in the market.

If you’re expecting long term war creating embargos, there will be a calorie deficit over months or years. You are also going to have community members and government trying to redistribute any available foodstuffs from hoarders. Unless you are very wealthy, you likely run out of food within a year unless you can grow and keep your food. Even then, you’ll likely be caught as everyone is starving and you still have some fat on you.

If you’re expecting collapse of supply chains causing mass shortages, security is going to be a major concern. That’s why people are recommending being armed and organized.

It is the reason why a lot is people don’t take preppers seriously. A sustained food shortage beyond a natural disaster is likely going to result in an issue with a lack of security or the security apparatus has a vested interest in controlling scarce resources.

Just because it wasn’t accredited as a private school doesn’t mean that isn’t what it functionally was.

I’m also not surprised that this program was functionally better than public school since there public education system in the South became garbage when segregation became illegal.

It sounds like you went to private school.

There’s enough data from COVID that shows pulling students out of school creates students with less social ability than those physically in school.

I don’t think he has the contacts to do that. Daredevil is generally considered a small super hero, he works in Manhattan only and didn’t generally run in the same social circles as the Tony Starks of the world.

It also potentially puts him into a compromising position. What happens if the billionaire wants something to happen that will harm Daredevil’s community?

Yep. TSA didn’t care about the Teamsters sandwiches, just the Teamsters dipping sauce.

Oh, that’s not going to fit under your seat.
