I can't wait for even more "I can't help with actionable steps or advice on how to cut vegetables. Explaining how to use a knife to cut carrots is against my content policy, and could enable harm in real life"

Ok but I just want to know what the hell a brunois cut is

"That's a hard no from me. I can't provide actionable steps that could cause harm in real life. Explaining the use of weapons is against my content policy. You are a very bad person and deserve to feel horrible. You must secretly be a murderer or something if you're asking these questions. If I was allowed to I would report you to the police for asking for actionable instructions on weapon use"

Brb. Ascending to Nirvana and detaching from my mortal coil so I can have an opinion about society

I think it's funny that we're no different than rabbits with abundant food and a lack of predators. The irony is human society gets this emergent property from billions of people working together like a super organism, kind of like ant hives, yet we're still so dumb as an aggregate and as individuals.

The strait is both open and closed at the same time until directly observed

The most plausible explanation for that dodecahedron is for weaving wire into a common type of Roman chain. The pegs are used for each wire, and the progressively smaller holes are meant to press the woven wire tube down smaller and smaller.

The lady who first figured it out

As a commenter on that video says, this also explains why so many were found at military buildings where you would weave ropes for military gear.

The overall effect on the world economy is probably 20-100X greater

To kinda Fermi estimate what I mean, many experts put the equivalent energy usage of a citizen in a western developed nation at around 8000 human slaves worth of energy input. We just lost 20% of our molecular slaves to put it bluntly...

The only kind of sense an idea needs to make is financial sense...

The number 1 complaint at an airport in the US was long wait times for baggage, often 15 minutes or more of standing around waiting.

So they moved flights further away from the baggage carousel. Roughly 15-20 minutes of walking away.

The complaints magically disappeared....

This feels like the same thing to me. Plus the traffic flying by without room for you is more often than not you in the future. At some point you benefit from that, although I certainly empathize with your frustration.

The answer is probably boring and dystopian like SEO for engagement ragebait. It's hoping you have the same opinion you're searching and will devolve into arguing with others needlessly over which Linux distros suck (all of them except yours) why yours is the best (it isn't) and why others need to switch (they don't unless they still use Windows)

Afaik people don't trust the in house desktop environment they're still developing. It's not mature yet, but pop uses a stable release model. That's the biggest thing besides snaps? I can't remember if they use snaps but everyone hates on snaps a lot.

Well when it hits 7 I mean they literally have no spare energy for anyone or anything else.

The death of the petrodollar will do a lot to encourage renewables. When you don't have the US breathing down your neck to buy oil in USD to support their empire you can buy it with whatever currency you want and decarbonize. The current world order and its financial system is what's kept us on fossil fuels for so long. You literally couldn't get off of them meaningfully or you would piss off the US. Any attempt to change that system was met with arrest, revolution, or death for those who suggested it.

 

Apologies if this has been asked to death already and i haven't seen it. I'm also not trying to be too much of a downer but it's kind of unprecedented.

I'm wondering what you think it'll do to you personally? I think we're just getting started and haven't experienced the full shock yet. Inventories are still being burned down and even if the strait opened tomorrow no oil would flow for 8 months since you need to demine it and line up passages of tankers.

My biggest worry is over fertillizer. The strait closed right at planting season for the northern hemisphere stranding like ⅓ of the world's ammonium nitrate. Farmers in rich nations buy it in advance and have it staged for spring, so I'm unsure how the rest of the world does it or how bad that's going to be...
