Atheists and ghosts are not mutually exclusive. They're just not allowed to worship the ghosts.

So it seems

You can't just drop something like that and not post pics...

Tragedy is not usually due to a single cause. Multiple failures have to happen for a tragedy to occur. In this case, the mum left them unattended, and the manufacturer implemented a feature in a dangerous way. It should have been obvious in the design phase that this was a risk, to pets if nothing else. The solution is also well known, there have been groups lobbying to make occupant sensors standard for literally decades. That they implemented one without the other is arguably corporate negligence for nothing more than extremely minor cost savings.

There's a archnemesis origin story in here somewhere

I agree. But that doesn't really address the issue under discussion

The kids died because the engine auto shut off, so it's actually an interesting question as to whether the manufacturer bears responsibility for having implemented a 'feature' dangerously.

Yeah, but Billy probably has like 1hp.

Hopefully! My comment wasn't aimed at KSP / KSA though, just talking about why IP is valuable

Name recognition sells stuff. Somebody who loved KSP 1 will probably give KSP 3 a go, at least to a greater probability than an unrelated game in the same genre.

I wonder what the efficiency of absorption is, though. Does 100% of emitted radiation get soaked up by the cup, or does some escape into the surroundings?

Huh. I guess the kettle has some thermal mass to it making it less efficient for small amounts

Unless I'm misunderstanding your statement, you're saying it's faster to boil water in the microwave than the kettle? How's that possible? I would think the microwave has more wasted energy

This thread is just switching me around from one earworm to another

Mmm, in that case just sounds like unreliable data.

Here's how I'm reading the questions:

"are you an atheist". 4%

4% of respondents have a firm belief that gods do not exist. (atheist)

"do you believe in any god" 20%

20% of respondents do not believe in a god, but do not necessarily think they don't exist either. They don't have enough knowledge to form a belief, i.e. they don't know. (agnostic)

I think it's a squishbook

Sounds about right, there's a difference between atheism and agnosticism, which is what the 2nd question is asking.
