If you're a complex machine whose action could be perfectly predicted (with full knowledge of everything you ever experienced) it's still reasonable to punish you for breaking rules - the risk of punishment goes into your programming as part of the (deterministic) calculation of what action to take

I reckon we are so incredibly complex, are integrating so much information that from inside it's hard to see if you're deciding or selecting by rule your preferred path given what you know

You can call the complexity free will, we're all so different having had different parents, different childhood experiences, different education, different opportunities so each has their own solution that rises to the top in any situation

But also brain scans have demonstrated that for minor stuff (like raising your hand) action precedes "deciding" to take the action.

I don't think believing in fate (or a plan) is strongly correlated with atheism

That doesn't work. People with crap lives often can't meet the standards of goodness that many forms of Christianity need for you to be qualified for heaven

Depends on the flavour of Christianity

At one end unforgiven sins condemn you to the Greek underworld, slightly modified

At the other end you land in limbo if you haven't been perfect for a time that fits, thence to heaven for the rest of forever

Beyond that end, their god is infinitely forgiving so everyone goes straight to heaven.

Don't worry, they don't read the Bible, and especially don't read the old testament.

They believe they have god given freedom of action

Yeah it's outside my expertise so I'm bad at the detail.

Normal process is the nice efficient anaerobic process that produces ATP from glucose

Cancers use an all aerobic process which is less efficient but faster at producing ATP

lemme.ee and lemmy.sdf.org seem good to me

There are scripts now that can move your subscription list

Most places have double tax agreements with the US. They'll be reporting their income to the US, but only paying tax to the US on money earned in the US, from shares for example

Normal function is sugar to ATP, then the mitochondria use ATP. In humans it's only broken ATP that uses sugar directly

Indeed

It'll get teslas loading the sentry camera feeds live to the cloud

How is burning cobalt batteries in the hope of killing an ev company good for the environment?

I don't think you'll find many of those.

Loads of people followed Musk when he was making cool cars, cool rockets, insulting people involved in rescue attempts. Very few care now that doing so is seen as declaring yourself on the side of Trump

So you bought your starlink in 2015 after which you reckon we should have known Musk was acting like a Nazi?

10 years.

He was maybe an arsehole 5 years ago. He wasn't clearly Nazi until the lead up to the recent election

Since they're expensive, I'd expect most of those to be leased or bought with a loan

I don't get the "fuck those regular people for buying a car made by a pretty damn good company that happens to be owned by a Nazi"

People bought cars like that on 5 year loans

Usenet is harder to use

Usenet is more expensive

As someone who's been around a while, I disagree. The tools now are so much easier than those when ISPs mirrored usenet, and the cost is so much less than just internet back then

If they want to hurt Tesla, attacking their customers' cars won't help

So it's fine to destroy insured private property? It's not like that's zero cost for the owner of the car
