Its a good thing that busses and trains don't take you directly to your destination.

Can it even be said that it was perfected when later we switched from carbon filament to tungsten, and from there to halogen-surrounded tungsten.
And on the other side, Edison's lamp wasn't even the first one to be mass produced and commercially sold.
There's a certain style of education that really wants to draw a hard line between "before the thing" and "after the thing", and credit its invention to a single guy. But really the line is quite wide and fuzzy.
Hell yeah brother
I was trying to resolve the ambiguity between "this account" (which is indeed an object) and "the people here".
I try not to misgender, so I have edited it to "they". Not because I respect anything an advertiser says though.
Everyone arguing with this account needs to realize that they might as well be talking to an LLM. Look at how advertisers think:

Just like an LLM can't distinguish between truth and fiction they can't distinguish between meaningful information and advertising BS. The people here will never win their argument against them because they classify all human communication as an act of manipulation, so the definition of advertising will be made more and more broad until they say "look, you were swayed".
Its true that earthships really only work in the desert. But I think that there are analogous processes that work at the city scale that are much more adaptable. Also I think the general ethos of feeding the waste products or side effects from one process into the inputs of another is applicable to a wide range of things. For instance:
- Earth ships use thermal mass to even out the desert fluctuations between hot day and cold night, keeping the house at a comfortable medium temperature. Because of the square cube law if you build your thermal mass storage at the city scale it is actually possible to store thermal energy across summer / winter fluctuations without much loss. Such thermal stores can be connected to buildings through a city thermal grid. A system like this is already being built already being built in Vantaa Finland, and while to my knowledge this hasn't been done before I see no reason you couldn't have a cold store on the other side of the city for cooling in the summer. Of course these systems aren't totally passive like the Earth ship, but they have coefficient of performance of around 30 (that is for every 1 kWh of electricity you spend pumping glycol solution through pipes you transfer 30 kWh of thermal energy between seasons). Compare that to the CoP of 3 to 6 for heat pumps.
- An earth ship uses a greenhouse to enhance its solar thermal capture and grow food for its inhabitants at the same time. In certain places like Spain, China, and the Netherlands they are beginning to use greenhouses for farming on a large scale, enclosing square miles of land within an envelope. Experiments have been done with using seasonal thermal energy storage to heat greenhouses, so I think you could potentially tie such greenhouses into a thermal grid as described above. If they were double walled and soap bubble insulated you might be able to keep them warm all year around or even have them act as net positive solar thermal collectors.
- An earthship uses gray water to water the plants in its greenhouse. There is a sewage treatment process called supercritical water oxidation that produces, as its outputs, mineral water, CO2, and heat. The process destroys parasites, bacteria and viruses, drug metabolites, and even "forever chemicals", as its akin to incineration. The mineral water doesn't contain nitrates, but it does have dissolved phosphorus and potassium compounds, making it a sort of fertilizer. CO2 can be added to greenhouses to increase plant's photosynthetic efficiency and raise their yield. Finally, the heat can of course be used to help heat the greenhouse.
- The earth ship gathers water from its roof. This can be done in an urban context too. Additional, in the summer the thermal exchangers that pull heat from the aforementioned greenhouses would have water condense on them (from the evapotranspiration of the plants that were watered with mineral water). In the winter I think there would instead be condensation on the greenhouse roof. In either case the water could be captured and reused for drinking.
Of course to make things like the thermal grid practicable you'd want to have a fairly dense urban area (to decrease the length of piping needed to serve each person).
You might be confused because the person I'm replying to said they want "less rules" while I said "so you want them to play by your rules instead?".
I phrased it this way because expecting your peers to deal with a greater range of behavior from you places no less of a burden on them than following the original rules does. Its not "less rules", its different rules.
Or, to put it another way, if you're a kid playing hide and seek with a bunch of other kids and you say "I should be able to change my hiding spot while the seeker is walking around", you're not 'adding more freedom' to the game, you're making a different game.
To be clear I have no horse in this race, I've never been to this event. But to me someone showing up to something someone else created, that other people are presumably enjoying the way it is, and saying "it should be this way instead and if you don't like it go to Disney Land" just comes across as really entitled and bitchy. I wouldn't have said anything if they had said "I would prefer it this way".
Something that everyone should have learned on the playground is that you can't expect to force other kids to play the way you want them to, but that you also don't have to play with them if you don't like their game.
So there's a group of people that all mutually agreed to play with each other in a certain way, and you'd rather they play by your rules instead?
I didn't know DMT came in vape form. What a time to be alive.
You joke, but it has been successfully argued in court that advertisers can lie to you because no reasonable person would believe that advertisements are truthful.
I'm reminded of when Elden Ring first came out and we had a little panic attack about how much harder it was than other souls games.
Then like a year later it was widely considered to be the easiest Fromsoft game (if you're just doing the required content).
Corn beats it out, and by some reckonings so does rice. Pumpkins too.
There are a few more exotic plants like tigernut and duckweed that are supposed to be really high, but not many people eat those as a staple crop. Palm oil and sugar cane are supposed to be super high too, though you probably don't want to be eating huge quantities of straight oil and sugar.
Finally there are a few tropical trees like jackfruit and breadfruit that produce enormous quantities of calories once mature. They have a huge advantage from their large leaf crowns and root systems (that they don't have to periodically regrow like annual plants) + the tropical weather allowing production for the entire year.
In biblical scholarship, this is referred to as eisegesis, where you read an interpretation into the text, rather than allowing the text to speak for itself.
This has reached such a level among US Christians that they often pick out single sentences to quote with little to no regard for the rest of the text it's come from. Like, never mind reading the book with the context of its origin in mind, or even the context of the rest of the book, when the context of the sentences directly before and after the thing you're referencing are being ignored.
When this is the text that's being referenced: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+4%3A9-17&version=NIV
There's nothing wrong with multi grain bread of course, but that's clearly not some sort of special holy bread recipe that will bless you if you eat it.
I agree with you then, you can't make a good webpage if your boss tells you to fill it with garbage.
If your motivation is to see old html pages, with minimal style, well it’s impossible to do them reliably.
Not only should your site be legible without JS, it should be legible without CSS, and infact without rendering the effects of the HTML tags (plain text after striping the tags).
At one point in time this was the standard, that each layer was an enhancement on top of the one below it. Its seems that web devs now cannot even imagine writing a news article or a blog post like, something that has the entirety of its content contained within its text. A plain .txt file renders "reliably" on anything. You are the one adding extra complexity in there and then complaining that you're forced to add even more to deal with the consequences of your actions.
If by "take it into account" you mean they said "political parties sure are bad" then not implement anything into the system to discourage their formation, then proceed to form political parties themselves a decade or so later, then sure.
Its not possible for the majority of uninhabited land on the planet, but its possible for the majority of people globally that live in urban areas.
