  • It's more the power that can be applied. Most people capable of getting a pedal bike up to those speeds also know how to read the road for safety. Even then, bikes can basically disintegrate in a (initially) minor accident.

    A powered bike is capable of destroying itself if misused.

  • It's often one way or the other. "Get away from me!", or "more babies!" Pregnancy hormones do a complete number on the mother. That's before having a parasite attached to you near 24/7, demanding your attention, day or night!

    Interestingly, her pheromones can do a similar job on any males around her (both human and dog). That was an interesting surprise.

  • That's a trick many/most breeds of dog can pull off. It's amazing how well a wet nose, and a slobbery smile shoved in your face can break a bad cycle.

    There's a reason they are used as emotional support animals so often. They can guard us from ourselves almost as well as this dog did the sheep from coyotes.

  • It implies the trend is likely to continue. That the searched areas and the unsearched areas are nominally the same.

    E.g. An inspector saying they have found 20 problems, this far, while 50% finished implies they expect to find 40ish overall.

    Finding zero problems thus far implies you are not expecting to find many/any, if the trend continues.

  • Not quite.

    Yet implies they expect to.

    Thus far is more neutral, erring towards not expecting to find anything.

  • It's far from easy. That's partly why it's so important. They instinctively want to make you orbit around them. Without your combined strength counterbalancing this, they have no true reference to grow around.

  • Any family that revolves around the children, will start tearing itself apart. The parental partnership should be the center of it. It provides the strength to teach and guide the kids, while not being led astray.

  • Given what it does, it eating you might be considered more humane! But no, is the fuck you, I just want to cause pain tree.

  • It's possible it only applied to tidal zones. Areas that the sea covers regularly. It's fine when covered in sea water would be a reasonable loophole.

  • A lot of the symptoms of that cluster are actually maladaptations. Our brains try and solve 1 problem, but create 2 more. In solving those, it makes even more. It's part of the reason that they manifest so differently in different people.

  • Fully agreed on that. It generally only comes out when explaining the rule, in the moment, will either cause compounding issues, or is unfeasible. I've also used it once or twice, while running near my own mental limits.

  • As a parent now myself, I've used the "because I said so" line.

    I have a personal rule however. When I've used it, I make a point to sit down and explain why. It might be after we have all cooled off, or after the stress is gone.

    It gives them a sense of what went wrong. In the moment, they also know they will get an explanation eventually. Lastly, it keeps me honest. No using it because I can't explain in a way that doesn't make me look bad.

    It's worth noting, parenting is HARD. Our generation at least has the advantage of modern information and science. The generations before us were stuck with hearsay and hope. Recognise their mistakes, but try not too judge them too harshly for them.

  • Proviso of this is that, globally, politicians grow a spine, along with a sense of morality, and long term planning. It would also require them to deal with the money hoarding issues with the hyper rich.

    • The first step is a massive push for renewables. They should be representing 200-500% of grid demand regularly. If nuclear can get up to speed and be part of this, great, but we can't wait on it.

    • That excess power should be soaked up by large scale, portable, energy storage. Green hydrogen is the current best option, but synthetic fossil fuels could also take up the slack. Depending on the area, desalination could also be combined into this.

    • We seriously decarbonise the transport networks. For vans and smaller, electric vehicles win. BYD have demonstrated that low cost electric cars are viable. For larger vehicles, where electric becomes inefficient, hydrogen is viable. This is where a lot of the excess hydrogen will be going.

    • Carbon credits with teeth. Rather than relying on a planned economy mindset, we can make capitalism work for us. We need a global fixed carbon emission limit. This limit should trend towards net zero on a preset timetable. Credits are bid on, akin to stock market trades. Companies must have credits by the end of the year/period. The fine for not having credits should be a multiple of the closing credits price (10x?). The fine for falsification should be multiples of that, erring towards corporate execution levels.

    This will force easy savings out of the market quickly. It will then force compulsory emitters to factor in Carbon costs.

    • Combined with the carbon credits will be negative credits. If a group takes a ton of CO² out of the air, long term, they gain a new credit. They can sell this to emitters. This will provide the CO² emissions industry requires, while meeting net zero.

    An example of this might be large scale bio capture on the open ocean. Grow seaweed etc on pontoons, and turn it into a solid. This can then be locked up (old coal mines?) taking carbon out permanently.

    • Geo engineering. There are multiple methods of reducing incident sunlight on the earth. Everything from powders in the upper atmosphere, to mylar solar shades at the Lagrange point. They will be short term fixes, but will buy us time.

    None of these require massive reductions in quality of life. They do require changes in how we do things. It's also worth noting that I've not covered the numerous problems to be solved e.g. power grid upgrades to account for renewables. None of these should be insurmountable however, just engineering, or political/policing challenges.

    An no, I've no fucking idea how to get politicians to grow a spine and do what's required for our long term comfort/survival. Fixing the planet? That's just a (really big) engineering problem. Fixing human nature? ...Fuck knows.

  • That's just an amusing (and accurate) side effect. 😁

  • I always knew Dink as "Double Income, No Kids".

    I don't think it means the same here however.

  • Some beds have storage underneath. They have a lift mechanism that lifts the whole mattress. If you used one of those as a base, then cleaning gets a lot easier.

  • I much prefer the term executive functioning disorder.

  • Latin is used BECAUSE it is dead. It means the terms don't drift. It also lets the names/terms be a descriptive as necessary.

    Asking a doctor to memorise some Latin words is a lot easier and less error prone than a sea of acronyms.

  • It depends how deep they are. I run into a depressing number that have just been caught up in the misinformation storm. Getting them to stop and think often helps recalibrate their thinking.

    It doesn't help much on those that are deep enough their ego is heavily involved.
