To which the answer is: “As high as a kite… No, wait. Higher. A GPS satellite? No. Even higher. Voyager 1 should be about right.”

So, is this the right one? At least the colors match, but it doesn’t have any stripes.

Those orange and brown stripes remind me this Minecraft cat. Such a beautiful color.

Other people have already given the right answer, so I’ll give the wrong answer.

Kelvin Farad, a unit for measuring something exotic related to capacitance and absolute temperature…. Sounds like something you could use to measure the performance of a hyper-space jump gate in a sci-fi story.

Either that, or simply potassium fluoride. Seriously toxic stuff BTW.

Millionaires own land, commercial buildings, mansions, villas, stocks, bonds, Lamborghinis and yachts that can be pledged as collateral. Banks love to mitigate risks with assets that are easy to liquidate.

See what’s going on in European countries that haven’t used significant numbers of African slaves. You know, it’s possible to enslave your own population too. Anyway, there’s definitely racism in Europe, even though the history with regard to using African slaves is completely different. Nowadays, racists hate all foreigners regardless of skin color.

Actually, people seem to gravitate towards this weird sort of tribalism when the in-group and out-group are pretty arbitrary concepts. It doesn’t even have to be based on skin color, language or religion. People just hate other people because they were born in the wrong town.

If America never used any African slaves at all, normal human tribalism would still be there to mess things up. There would be groups based on arbitrary things that slang, facial features, dietary preferences, fashion choices etc. Racism wouldn’t disappear. It would just be aimed at some other group.

There could be a game where the lag is expected. Let’s say you’re heading for Mars, but you have to fix your ship, because there was an unexpected asteroid impact. You ask home base for instructions, but you’re already so far away, that the text takes a minute to travel all the way.

Debugging AI generated code is essential. Never run the code before reading it yourself and making a whole bunch of necessary adjustments and fixes.

If you jump straight to binary, you can’t fix anything. You can just tell the AI it screwed up, roll the dice and hope it figures out what went wrong. Maybe one day you can trust the AI to write functional code, but that day isn’t here yet.

Then there’s also security and privacy. What if the AI adds something you didn’t want it to add? How would you know, if it’s all in binary?

Kids can also be considerate if they care about you. Once they know the rules of the game, they will follow the rules just to make their favorite adult happy.

Since the early days of Facebook, most people have been in roughly two camps: those who share just about anything, and those who share barely anything. Ok, there are also privacy minded people who share nothing at all, but that’s a different story.

People in the first category just love to tell you where they live, how many pets they have, send photos of everything etc. You know, social people. They also expect you the be like them, because that’s how tribalism works. It’s the default setting in the human brain, and disabling or even just limiting that urge takes some some skill and effort.

People in the second category share only a few opinions, but never their location or photos. I think most people on Lemmy are like this.

The cost of the raw material is low enough to make it a viable option for the time being. There are also costs associated with switching to renewable options, which makes the transition slower.

Think of it from the perspective of a coal plant owner. You’ve already spent millions into construction and maintenance, so you really want some return on that investment.

When the plant reaches its end of life, that’s usually the best time to start considering other options. If the running costs rise dramatically or you are required to modernize the plant, that could be another time to take a look at other options.

BTW this is the reason why environmental legislation is so important. Companies listen to money, and governments decide what makes economic sense and what doesn’t.

If you burn hydrogen and oxygen, you’ll get pure water, but you would need to store it immediately after the reaction. If you let the water sit in a bucket, it’s going to absorb all sorts of things from the air around it.

If there are no safety regulations, there can be no safety violations. Everyone wins!

BTW I took a quick look at your history, and I can see that you like to take risks. Some of those comments are really spicy, and people have noticed. Let me guess, you’re using the kaboom account to channel your inner kaboom, and you have a different account for all the non-explosive ideas you share with the world.

Did you know that the mining industry in DRC is always looking for new employees? Could be a safe job with great benefits?

I’m sure they’ll tell you that there’s literally zero risk of a rock ceiling collapsing on your head. And what about the fumes from that odd colored pond? It’s just hydrogen cyanide. You don’t need to worry about that.

That’s just it. This idea involves dancing very close to the fire, so anything could happen. The result may even depend on the other legal cases available in the area.

That was way too coherent. You need to nuke that structure to the Stone Age to make it authentic.

Yes. Often I find an article that doesn’t answer my question, but it could be close. For example, it could be an article about porcelain manufacturing in the soviet union in general, but won’t answer my specific question about manufacturing porcelain for the electrical grid. That sort of stuff happens all the time, and GPT confidently claims something that isn’t supported by the sources it cites.

Actually, it’s a lot like search results in general. The first 10 results could lead you in the right direction, but won’t have exactly what you’re after.

Thanks for the translation. It all makes sense now.

Thanks.
