I dislike the .not() method a bit because it inverts the meaning of the previous code snippet you’ve read.

if (list.isEmpty()...

“Ah, so if the list is empty…”

if (list.isEmpty().not())

“Goddammit”

Huh, that wasn’t there yesterday when this was posted, I’ve checked everything I have access to

Either way, it’s everywhere now

Your vote for any candidate that isn’t yourself takes away a vote from the only candidate whose opinions match yours perfectly.

Imagine a shortsighted wolf with dirty glasses. Cleaning its glasses would make it a more effective predator, right? The same applies to the vacuum which is why you shouldn’t clean it.

I’d argue it’s vegan to use animal products if and only if the animal has died through no means of your own and you are not indirectly causing more exploitation.

Second hand leather is not vegan because you indirectly support the leather industry by fueling demand for leather. Someone may be more inclined to purchase something made of leather if they know they can resell it at a later date (like a leather sofa).

However, I’d argue eating roadkill you accidentally killed yourself would qualify as vegan since there are no moral issues with that - consuming it doesn’t fuel the demand for animal exploitation. Additionally, it causes you to consume less food produced through industrial agriculture (which is not sustainable in its current form), making kt better for the environment.

For me, exploitation := intentionally harming an animal as a means to an end

But the first few values are:

1 + 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/21 + 1/28…

I really don’t see any pattern there showing why it converges to 2 exactly

Edit:

After thinking some more, you could write the sum as:

(Sum from n=1 to infinity of): 2/(n * (n + 1))

That sum is smaller than the sum of:

2 * (1/n²) which converges to π²/3

So I can see why it converges, just not where to.

For Celsius, 0 is freezing cold and 100 is boiling hot - that’s intuitive too.

I have literally never felt 0°F in my life and couldn’t tell you how cold it is, just that it’s very cold. I believe everyone has a rough understanding how 0°C and 100°C feel though.

The far more important question however is:

Why tf did they use the color scheme of bwegt?

I may be an idiot, but I’m 99% certain that this color scheme is only used in Baden-Württemberg - a state that’s like 500km away from the Tesla factory.

It’s also German but it means grips

Young has always trended liberal

Good luck with that in the future, seriously. Try keeping it that way for as long as possible.

In Germany at least, the biggest supporters of the nazi party are 18-24 year olds since social media, TikTok in particular, strongly promotes them. 38% of their votes (by gender: 46% men, 30% women) in one of the recent state elections went to them. Those are unprecedented amounts in a system with proportional representation.

Well, as much as possible anyway. When considering mass alone, life is quite efficient.

According to Wolfram Alpha:

The sun produces 3.8 * 10²⁸ watts.

A single human produces 104 watts (calculated through the average caloric intake assuming that intake ≈ energy consumption) through heat radiation.

Therefore:

1 kg of human converts 1.5 watt into heat.

1 kg of the sun converts 0.0002 watt into (heat) radiation.

And while I have nearly no understanding how entropy is calculated, from those values alone it seems like humans produce more entropy per kg than the sun. I’m pretty sure entropy is somewhat related to energy production though.

But are we actually creating order? To maintain life’s order, we are creating much more disorder somewhere else.

Life is but an entropy maximization machine.

Telegram has public groups which function nearly identical to social media. Signal does not.

If Amazon AWS began hosting nazi websites and refused to take them down, should the CEO be arrested? I’d say yes.

That looks like a single-bed hospital room. Depending on the country, they are expensive in Europe too because insurance only covers the bare minimum. Here in Germany you’ll always be sharing the room with 2 - 8 other people, even if they have an infectious disease. You’ll only get a single-bed room by paying like 200€ per day, by being immunocompromised or by having a very infectious disease.

Why would you use a linear approximation, this clearly looks like exponential growth (for the last 9 years).

Linux will obviously achieve 100% market share within the next few years.

There’s also the lucky chance for your own serve to hit the edge of the table just right. That would be my attempt to get a single point in such a match.

Only because the reparations weren’t severe enough to prevent Germany from becoming another military superpower but too severe to be handwaved away.

Either give a slap on the wrist or make the country literally paraplegic. Don’t just put a knife in the shoulder and call it a day.

Literally 95% of the German parliament is opposed to it. It’s not just right wingers, they’re just the most opposed.

The Green party supports increasing existing social services up until and slightly beyond the minimum required to live (and not be homeless) and opposes sanctions for those who refuse to work.

The “social” democrats - conservative lite to be exact - support a “right to work” instead of UBI. Work is great and it’s more than making money, you achieve self-determination through work etc etc.

Every other party further right is absolutely insane and their proposals can and should be completely ignored.

Of the 5% who aren’t opposed, a quarter is made up of “left conservatives” who advocate for social spending but heavily oppose any and all LGBTQ+ rights, immigration and nature/climate protection.

It isn’t safe at any dose but the amount of harm from licking it once is definitely rather small. Probably safer than having a couple of alcoholic drinks or a single cigarette.
