  • Goddamn, I didn't realise we were that far behind on solar. The potential for it is great; it's sunny and cold.

    Edit: Oh, this is 5 years old. I should have clued in, since we have no coal power at all anymore.

  • There's also the problem of if the local residents could be arsed to get on a new-fangled central heating scheme. Maybe some kind of other local industry could use it - there is a kind of college there IIRC.

  • Well, I won't kink-shame. I would guess anybody who insists on a virgin is going to, though.

    I guess you know your own desires better than me, if this is a genuine post, but it just doesn't seem like it rationally should be any different than what you already do.

  • With a newly built, 1.2GW devoted natural gas power plant, IIRC.

    Edit: 1.4GW per the article.

  • Doubtful. If this is a sex thing you need to solve it in a sex way. Cannibals have compared humans to any number of things, and pork is just kind of another kind of meat.

  • Yeah, he might as well offer to send school shooters, and round out the typical "dunking on the US" checklist.

  • That's kind of what I meant by putting "subroutine" in quotes. You obviously wouldn't write it like this, you'd just use a random large number with a bit of explanation.

    Oh well, live and learn. I'll try to be clearer next time.

  • New, so I don't just see the same stuff as yesterday. I leave comments on hot, but I usually read though them all anyway.

  • The best communicators are ones that stick to their own field. Neil Degrasse Tyson is kind of a bad one for that, as well.

    There's a lot of fields and subfields, so that means not any one particular person, unfortunately.

  • Yes, by looking up how to do it and then practicing until I could actually implement the instructions.

    That Rubik himself figured it out with no guide is impressive as hell.

  • I mean, an application could exist where this isn't even wrong. Maybe as a "subroutine" of another algorithm that only needs a truly composite number most of the time to work.

    That this reads as a joke says a lot about what application we're intuitively expecting.

    Edit: Not sure why this is being downvoted.

  • Same story as a retail job, basically. Anyone can do it at a basic level (and lots of people do jump right in professionally), although speed and quality will improve with practice. Compare that to tiling a shower or putting in electrical, where substandard work will lead to damage or actual injury.

    They get paid way less than other tradespeople as a result.

    It was the least skilled modern and Western blue collar job I could think of. Most of the rest have been partly automated, which blurs the line with white collar jobs. For example, a crop farmer can stay perfectly clean and comfortable all day driving a combine. Edit: Although deciding the inputs and timings of things to crops is not unskilled, if they also do that.

  • Yeah, avocation and vocation can both fill that hole. It is a hole that most people need filled, though.

  • When people do retire, something like this usually happens. Either they solve it by joining into so many activities and hobbies they're actually busier than before, they end up finding another job for the hell of it, or they decline into misery.

    Doing nothing is like a covid lockdown that never ends, basically.

  • Yeah, YMMV, I guess. When I was in school I took it deadly serious. It definitely took energy, and it definitely was 5 days a week.

  • Yeah, this article feels like it's trying to imply a tension that doesn't exist. Ukraine has no motive to send them back to NK, there isn't a legal basis for it, and nobody in here actually says it's being considered.

  • If you had said Catholicism you might be right, for all I know, but that's actually a big part of my background. US (and Canadian) protestantism is an amorphous mass; it doesn't really have heresies, exact rules are up to today's pastor. It does have tribal symbols, though, and Isreal is one of them (despite the typical belief that Jews go to hell).

    Prosperity gospel? They have that. Charities? That too. Cults where you have to give everything away like the desciples? They're around, although they can't compete with pastors that say what people want to hear.

  • I mean, isn't school a bit like that?

  • Or sad, unemployed people.
