“Inspired word of God” differs by denomination though right?

I could be wrong, but I thought some viewed it as the exact word of God, others as the word of God as interpreted by the prophets

Counterpoint: London.

It’s easy to complain, with it being £2.80/$3.70 for a single zone peak single, the frequent strikes, the noise, etc. but the trains are at worst every 5 minutes or so, they have the most frequent rail service in the world (Victoria Line), they’re constantly making improvements (Elizabeth Line, Battersea extension), it has fairly good coverage (when including national rail for south London), overnight service, and the busses are absolutely amazing.

Is it on par with Seoul & Singapore? No. But it’s certainly significantly better than most cities worldwide.

I went to four different cities in China and at least a significant proportion of people seemed very selfish and out for themselves across the board, I’m not going to say never but it’s definitely at the bottom of my list of places to return to.

I don’t know how it was the tankies who got triggered

Answer’s right there, getting triggered is a hobby for a lot of tankies.

Yeah nah.

People (normal people) like having their messages, facebook comments, whatever else coming up somewhere even more accessible than their phone in their pocket.

That’s why you ask 6 of them, and of they all come to the same conclusion then chances are it’s either right, or a common pitfall.

She also had her hands full, and using a torch as a baseball bat only goes so far

There’s levels though, places that refuse to let you exist (most Arab states), places that would rather you wouldn’t exist and so settle for making it hard for you to exist in public (Russia, US, much of East Asia), and places where they’re ok with you existing, but sure as shit aren’t going to help you or give you any protections from those who disagree (much of Western Europe)

As far as I know there’s not really anywhere which goes much beyond that now, but there is at least some better places than the US

It’s both the person who works on a Sunday and the person who makes them work on a Sunday.

The bible also says you should be put to death if you work on a Sunday, so checkmate anyone who doesn’t have a mon-fri office job

Yes, Asus’ flagship for sure as I’ve had them since most manufacturers removed it. I think there’s a couple of others but I’ve been very happy with the two Asus phones I’ve used for about five years now.

That’s one interpretation and implementation of free speech. The EU define it as “freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.” which would be very easy to argue includes public authorities altering the legality of receiving and/or imparting information via AI.

Very good point, but oxygen is very abundant and you’ll more than likely already have oxygen generators with a level of redundancy, or be in an atmosphere with oxygen.

Also for load balancing you could constantly be splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, then react them back into water when you need a large amount of energy at once as an alternative to electrical batteries which degrades less over time, if heat is all you want at least.

All I’m saying is there’s so many applications that we’re never going to get to a level of 0.

Nope.

I love induction hobs, electric cars & planes, xenon spacecraft and all that, but even if we get to interstellar travel, there’s going to be a frontier where people are going to be using the lowest maintenance, easiest way to generate immediate heat, even if it’s from solar/fusion powered hydrogen or ethanol generators. It’s just a lot easier to store and release small but much larger than instantaneous generation amounts of energy as flammable substances than in batteries or pumped storage or whatever else.

If we don’t get to interstellar travel, I expect we’ll still have the same in remote regions on earth/our solar system.

Burning things for heat is never going away as long as humans are around, there’s always going to be someone “off-grid” which means you’re more than likely gonna be burning something for cooking and warmth (ie heat)

nah unfortunately not from the looks of things, there’s some places which definitely had mad cow disease that aren’t coloured, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual map is still very correlated

The intersection between Authoritarianism and Socialism:

everyone and their dog has texts come up on their wrist… texts can also be read a lot more discretely than picking up a phone call

That said, some things do warrant a phone call, it’s just very specific situations

I work 9 hours a day, but cycle a pedal bike in at relatively high speed while stopping at all the lights. That comes to about 30 minutes (25 moving) of 170+bpm exercise each way, so 50 minutes per day. Even after showering, that’s comparable timewise to how long it’d take on public transport (20 mins walk & 20 on trains, so not much longer outside either), and you remove the need to pay for a gym subscription (as long as you’re ok being built like a t-rex).

Even if you don’t have showers in the workplace, you can go easy on the way in and hard on the way back for a still significant effect.
