Reading past the headline, the article goes on to say that calorie in/out is correct but hard to calculate usefully and thus they recommend strategies that are easier to keep stable.

It's pretty shitty to equate a first worlder feeling hungry for a bit to actual starvation. One is unpleasant. The other is serious.

People peddling off-brand christianity were hunted down and tortured to death: https://www.history.com/topics/religion/inquisition

If you express your viewpoint in a kind way, that's genuinely the most "winning" you can possibly achieve.

Convincing people in one go is not achievable by just finding the right words.

People may disagree. They may downvote you to hell. They may thank you. They may agree. They may misunderstand.

But as long as you write kindly, people will read what you say and give it thought. Maybe it plants a seed for them to change their mind another time.

Go for it! Let your enemies learn that you can come for them any time!

They want people to feel like rebels with a cause.

This is a good symbol to make a lot of people your enemies. Your ingroup can now rally against "the establishment".

It couldn't work before, because it made too many enemies for your small ingroup, but we've reached a tipping point where it is feasible to keep a thing going for a while.

1 minute, 60 seconds, 60 thousand milliseconds. I work with computer systems that monitor themselves to make sure they don't take more than 10 milliseconds. At 50 milliseconds, they would raise alarms.

It takes 100 milliseconds to blink.

So, we'd notice pretty much immediately :)

And then all networked computers that assume a response within 30 seconds would go bonkers and maybe need to be restarted.

I'd react by assuming IT misconfigured the Network Time Protocol service that keeps machine clocks synced and inform them.

Habitual liar

Not all of them do. What do you want? Rationalization of a wish to generalize over a huge geographical region?

I sympathize with you feeling that way, but of course it's irrational.

Hø?

How do you imagine having an "open discussion" when you reject overwhelming evidence out of hand?

More specifically, what openness will you bring?

There is this strange belief that humor is exempt from consequences.

In the book "Jam" by "Yahtzee Croshaw" there is a post-apocalyptic sect formed by a group of people from an internet forum. They are not stupid of course; they form a sect ironically. Then they worship a rambling drunk old man called Bob ironically and have ironic sermons and ironically imprison nonbelievers at the ironic orders of the High Priest.

If you point out that this is stupid and evil, they will roll their eyes and go "Duh!", then ironically execute you for heresy.

Thanks.

Where can one find more context? Just looking at this tweet, it looks like she is straight up calling Elon a literal nazi.

I can criticize a broken product. The jobs deserve thing is creative reading on your part.

That makes sense. Though at geological scales the distinction between solid and non-solid blurs a bit. Mountains are not solid to a slow enough observer.

There's no need for Unity anymore. Godot is excellent for at least 2D games the same way Unity used to be. Unreal is easy to pick up for 3D. GameMaker Studio is going strong.

Are there any restrictions on material?

If not, I have stack of dirty nitrogen in my backyard over 100km tall, technically reaching space.

For the most part, whomever the mapmakers happened to ask got to decide. Once it's on an official map, it's just gonna drown out any other opinions.

Several places in Norway have names that are spelled "wrong" according to locals, but changing it requires herculean efforts of bureaucracy.

Ah yes. I'd have to ask for uncapped PCU. Being part of the simulation, I'd not notice any lag as my consciousness would lag with it.

Something in-game scriptable, so I could mould it for variety. Space Engineers maybe?
