  • hahaha rape xD

  • I cannot confirm if they've logged on, I've never seen a photo of them

  • They're saying it's very heavy for a Montante, normal ones were lighter. Extremely heavy swords were often reserved to parade, where style was more important than function

  • I learned about brine pools recently and I'm fascinated

  • Maybe I wasn't clear in my comment. I think it's fine if they quote what somebody tweeted. I don't think it's fine to have Twitter embeds in articles.

    Come to think of it, I should write a uBlock origin custom rule

  • I agree it's going to be a challenge. But I'm sceptical nuclear is going to help there; from historical experience, it takes upwards of 20 years to build a reactor. Even if that gets expedited through modern technologies, we're still talking something like 15 years until they come online, and you're still paying all the upfront costs throughout that time. Whereas solar can go from concept to grid in 2 years, and batteries aren't much worse.

    The desert indeed makes large-scale warm water storage infeasible, but the kind of home setups I mentioned first should still be good to go, it's basically only your preexisting heating loop times 2 or 3, that's negligible compared to farming demands, and it stays in the loop forever (except for leakage). Storing warm water that you'd use anyways also doesn't increase demand.

    The desert has the benefit that solar can be really well calculated, since you (mostly) need to consider seasonal changes in sunlight, not cloud cover. That can be planned around

    You got a point about the heat pump efficiency though. For new communities there should be a trend towards centralized heating that provides for a whole city block, to make use of economy of scale and raise efficiency beyond what is reasonable for a single home. But that's dreaming to far, probably

  • Nice, I'm looking forward to it

  • Maybe not quote, but embed. They should still quote noteworthy things on there, but don't force us to interact with the site

  • Another one joins the party!

  • There's no value in anything just because it's made with "love", that's an illusion.

    Wow, that's a horrendously bleak and depressing take. Of course you can't put a price tag on that (why would you want to?), but you're not seriously suggesting that human love has no emotional value, right?

    A love letter from your partner, or the diary of a passed relative, or your child's drawings? All of these things might be objectively worse than something a machine could produce. But would you feel the same when you received a love letter that's just been printed off of ChatGPT? Humans are more than profit-producing machines, despite what capitalists want you to believe. And there is value in human interaction.

  • That's pretty cool! Still seems to have some issues, but as the technology matures, that seems like a promising technology. I didn't know seasonal warm water storage was a thing

  • I wish I had fatty humps :c
