you depend on the wind blowing.

For achieving maximum speed, sure. To simply guarantee you get there? Not at all - the Iberians knew how to navigate solely on maritime currents 500 years ago.

If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn’t switch to petroleum for the fun of it.

We started using pretroleum because capitalism requires infinite growth as fast as you can muster it. Particularly with modern refrigeration techniques and automation, time insensitive navigation for transport could easily be done with sails.

I’d say with Lithium, that’s only bad news.

You took the worst possible path to calculate all of this. Just compare energy to energy, that’s the whole point of Watts.

Could you imagine a world in which both products catch on? I shudder just to think about it

The fact it uses clear plastic for the mouth has to be a crime, surely.

The average person is notoriously shit at doing objective analysis, so yeah, you shouldn’t trust people you know.

People can get fat if they eat as much as I do

Then its up to those people to fucking get out of their asses and exercise. It’s one thing to be fat because of a health issue like hypothyroidism, and a whole different thing to choose being fat. In either case, you can’t really demand people to think an unhealthy, droopy and blobby body is beautiful, all you can ask is for people to not be rude about it.

Here’s a very apt comparison: I suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition which makes me sweat 100% of the time regarless of temperature. Which do you think more reasonable: that I wear deodorant, refresh myself and shower often; or that I demand people to live with and enjoy my body odour?

For a specific definition of readable, yes

Thanks for the tip, it does seem quite interesting. From what I could find locally, prices are all over the place, so I’ll spend some time reading spec sheets haha

I swear 25% of our user base is Linux SysAdmins.

That’s impossible, as it would mean 25% of our user base is also furry. Wait a second…

I remember we had a lot of fun with Benzene and Benzoates in university, but suspiciously I can’t remember details. Hmmm

“Nuuuuu-uuuuuh! Light nobels dun count! I’m pooping my poopy pants!!!1!”

The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.

Which, ironically, is a core part of Abrahamic religions which was abandoned by Protestantism. I.e. Catholicism didn’t add minor gods, Protestantism removed them.

Fun fact: the “-el” at the end of all angel names (except Lucifer and Satan, I guess) means “god”. Not as in “from god”, but as in “the god of-”.
