  • Well that makes sense - without any exhaust, the volume of nitrogen available wouldn't properly displace the air from his lungs before he put the mask in...

    So he could've essentially just died from regular asphyxiation, which is quite painful, with a side of nitrogen.

  • Ignoring the fact that you're clearly high as a kite - it's all tricks your brain does to conserve resources. Without any focus or filter, your brain would very quickly spread it's resources too thinly, and subsequently burn out.

    It is much easier for your brain to process a lot of data about a small number of things, than a small amount of data on many, many things.

  • Nitrogen Asphyxiation in the workplace is insanely dangerous specifically because humans (and most animals) don't have a way to detect nitrogen displacement...

    The body detects hypoxia by build up of CO2, or more accurately carbonic acid, not loss of O2 - it doesn't expect for nitrogen to be the thing to displace all the oxygen, so you literally don't notice it. There's countless stories of people fainting and dying due to not realising the situation they were in.

    So how in fuck's name did Alabama manage to botch it so badly that the first guy had an agonising death via seizure?? It takes a special kind of neglect to make that happen.

  • Funny they should be calling people Nazis considering they're the ones actively performing a genocide. I don't see the Brazillians bombing Palestinian hospitals and letting soliders mow down innocent civilians.

  • You're not wrong - I was just pointing out it's always been that way. The rich never played fair, they played to win.

  • You'd think being so close to that monster would make them much wearier, but if they want to be Russian so badly, they should go live in Russia - they need more meat for the Ukraine-shaped grinder anyways

  • It's not like they didn't look through your financial history before then - they just didn't have to show their working publicly, which meant you could ne discriminated against for any number of things

  • True, I'd never laugh at some that got done in by life - but they made their own bed doing something obviously stupid, so I have no qualms laughing

  • Said better than I could ever have replied, have a boost on me

  • There's a major difference between attacking armed military targets during a war, and bombing hospitals full of innocent people.

    If you're going to take all the subtly out of the conversation, then by that same stroke all Palestinians are responsible for the actions of Hamas, which means everything Israel is doing is justifiable, which you and I both know is plain wrong.

    You can't have your cake and eat it too - either attacking civilians is always wrong or it isn't - and I'd rather stand on the side of not justifying killing innocent people.

  • Hard to believe there are still people out there saying this is justified...

    Whike it's true that Hamas are by no means the good guys, Israel's response to the Hamas attacks is to literally pull a genocide by a different name.

    What else do you call straight up bombing buildings and hospitals full of innocent people; sending out kill squads into the streets; destroying any and all infrastructure required to grow and preserve food, and to get potable water; and denying your victims any and all humanitarian aid. Even without the quotes from Netanyahu, Israel's actions say more than their words ever could.

  • Imagine completely legally swindling your way into living rent free in one of New York's most prestigious hotels only to completely fuck it up by trying to fraudulently claim you own the building

  • That's the theoretically part - there are processes that will capture the energy generated that would've otherwise become heat, but that only affects the timeliness. Given enough time, all workable energy generated by a heater would become heat, even if you had to wait for the matter itself to decay trillions of years from now when all the stars have long since breathed their last breath.

    Also has somebody watched Technology Connections by any chance?
    Heat pumps are so cool - if you showed onw to someone even a hundred years ago, even knowing what electricity was, they'd think it was magic.

  • Because it will always take more energy to break the water than you will get burning the Hydrogen in Oxygen back into water - it's basic thermodynamics.

    You will lose some energy as heat that you cannot get back.

    You can't power a car from a process that loses energy. Even if you use a battery to donate the lost energy, then you might as well just cut out the lossy middleman and just run off the battery or generate the Hydrogen elsewhere - which is what we currently do.

    It is better to think of Hydrogen as an energy transporter than as a fuel, as you'd need to generate the Hydrogen somewhere that has abundant energy (ideally renewable), then transport I where needed, such as a Hydrogen powered generator.

    Interestingly the fact that all processes generate waste heat means the only theoretically 100% energy efficient process is heat generation itself, as all forms of energy eventually degrade to heat (as it is essentially the universe's waste energy).

  • I wish.

    Should clarify that I don't mean the front of the shoe itself, I mean the front part of the sole of the shoe - the way I walk causes that area of the sole and insole to wear down quicker than the rest of the shoe.

  • Exactly. There are times uniforms and dress codes are necessary, but they ansolutely shouldn't be universal.

    There's nothing stopping OP from just picking a style and going with it - I do. The majority of my outfits follow the simple formula of cardigan/jacket and complimentary t-shirt, Jeans, trainers, and whatever underwear is in the top of the drawer. It works for the majority of contexts, and I can always tweak it to be smarter or more casual.

  • Shoes. I have a habit of "digging" through the front of the sole of my shoes, which means I go through them quite quickly.

    I used to spend £10 every 4-ish months on a new pair of really cheap trainers, but then I decided to buy a pair of proper walking trainers a few years ago for like £60, and they've already paid themselves back in longevity and comfort.

    Also handy that you can replace the insole, which helps an awful lot.

    I reckon I could get longer out of more expensive boots, but I couldn't really afford them at the time I bought these.

    Edit: Not a werewolf - the bottom part of my shoe, not the literal front

  • Sometimes sure, but an LLM realistically has no decision making ability - it isn't considering strategies or ethics, or anything else for that matter, it's just pulling together an answer based on what people have said in similar contexts in it's training data.

    I wouldn't want a parrot to decide who 's shooting who, nevermind nukes - though to be fair no one person or thing should be deciding either of those things anyway
