  • Pissing in the shower is better than pissing in the toilet in every single way.

  • Ah, I see. Yes, I was too loose with the terminology. It was oversimplified and exaggerated for comic effect. But I can see now how that can be difficult to decipher. You won, I concede.

  • I'm always there, lurking in the shower.

    I was really surprised about the response. I posted it right before going to bed and was too tired in the morning to respond. As you didn't know what I was referring to let me clarify: You know how there's water vapor all around you when you shower? You can see it on your mirror if ventilation in your bathroom is insufficient. If you now take a piss in the shower, and especially if there's warm water in you tub that didn't drain yet, some of the piss will also be vaporized. It's probably more accurate to say it mixes with the vapor. I can smell that and it's not amazing.

    The response tells me not everyone experiences this. That's probably a combination of me not drinking enough while also enjoying very hot showers with the water not draining fast enough.

    I respect your curiosity and hope your life can now continue. Enjoy your next shower.

  • No but into the draining warm water in the tub creating a piss vapor. You're telling me you don't know what I'm talking about?

  • The piss vapor hitting me in the face is really not magnificent.

  • That's kind of funny. Nuclear energy is actually getting more expensive:

    A few reasons come to mind:

    • The newer the technology, the higher the cost.
    • Each reactor and its power plant is a huge project. This makes scaling up production difficult. And please don't start with tiny reactors. We're not in Fallout.
    • Safety standards have risen.

    There are probably more reasons. I would of course not compare it to coal but to renewables. They're the future. Storage will be needed but those options are also getting cheaper by the day.

  • Climber on trial for leaving girlfriend to die on Austria's highest mountain

    Jump

  • Yes, I think it's important to consider how extreme the situation was. You mentioned the external conditions. It's also fair to say that it's difficult to do the right thing in an emergency of this magnitude. We know he handled it badly but we're not freezing on a mountain at midnight with our exhausted girlfriend.

  • Ah, whataboutism. How cunning. I'm done with you.

  • Just saying

  • Exactly. Privatize the profits and socialize the costs. What a brilliant system. Unfortunately it benefits only a small handful while everyone else picks up the tab.

  • Thanks professor. Do you know private debt and state debt are hardly the same? Have you considered the opportunity cost of not having public energy, therefore losing potential "earnings" to private investors? Or are you telling me next that rich people are a necessity as well? Is trickle-down part of this course or do I have to wait for 201?

  • Just saying

    Jump

  • This has little to do with where you're from. It's just neoliberal rhetoric. Having a public energy sector would be beneficial in the long run and would reduce what we have to pay for it. Right now the earnings are privatized in most places.

  • Just saying

    Jump

  • That's incorrect. Nuclear power is one of the more expensive options when you factor in the costs after operation ends, which you should obviously do.

  • Climber on trial for leaving girlfriend to die on Austria's highest mountain

    Jump

  • That's a tough call. Sounds to me that it was reckless to climb the mountain under those conditions but both decided to go ahead. Nevertheless, the reaction of the accused to the emergency is bad. Calling the police and then putting his phone on silent makes little sense. Leaving her to "get help" is of course futile.

  • Wirklich heftig, welche Befugnisse die Polizei in Bayern hat und wie selbstverständlich sie diese überschreitet.

  • Jimmy Lai sentence exposes collapse of press freedom in Hong Kong

    Jump

  • I'm not disagreeing with you and an independent Hong Kong would've been nice but I'm talking about realistic options. Even without any military action Hong Kong was and remains dependent on China and I don't see how it could survive without it.

  • It obviously sucks and the outcome was to be expected but what alternative would you propose?

    Continued British control would have meant maintaining territory acquired through the Opium Wars which China considered illegitimate. Given China’s position and growing power that likely would have required serious military confrontation. From a post-colonial perspective extending colonial rule also seems hard to justify. What alternative outcome do you think was realistically achievable under those conditions?

  • If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.

  • I can really recommend this video by Technology Connections which answers your questions very well. It is long but entertaining and educational. The last 30 minutes are basically a rant about politics and I love every second of it.

  • Whats your favorite bad joke?

  • Nice, I'll steal this one. My girlfriend will be very annoyed.

  • Really? I associate it with LSD. Isn't it more difficult with mushrooms as psilocybin concentration fluctuates? I guess you could extract it. Never really thought about it.
