A dog without leash shows that the owner hasn’t bothered taking dog training classes or in the case of my country that they haven’t bothered learning the law. If they can’t be bothered to do that, I worry that they are not responsible enough to take care of the dog, and they shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog. Dog ownership ought to require a license or mandatory training.

The person using the perfume might also not even know about the issue, but in that case, I don’t think it makes sense to blame the consumer. There are simply too many types of products that are potentially dangerous when used wrong. Perhaps the seller ought to have warned about it, but I doubt that would make much difference. You can still be upset about it being produced. Lots of things are like that.

Sometimes you can blame the consumer and sometimes you can’t.

If you’re a mathematician how can you be dissing 5 like that?

Less than? Hell no.

5 is soo much more and soo many things that 25 isn’t and never will be.

Without 5 you wouldn’t even have 25. Some might even say that 5 is the root of 25. Show some respect for the roots.

Not only is 5 a beautiful prime number, it’s also the perfect number for a geometric shape. Everyone knows what a pentagon looks like. The Pentagon even named their institution as that. They didn’t name it after 25. Who the hell has ever heard of the icosikaiopentagon? Nobody, that’s who.

Look at the American flag. It has 50 stars. Guess which shape they have? That’s right, each of the 50 states have stars with 5 points. Exactly 0 of them chose to have a 25 pointed star.

You know what a bad number is? Yes: 25.

25 is a shitty composite number. It’s shitty because it’s not even good at being a composite number; having only a measly 3 factors: One, itself and 5 (of all things, duh…)

That’s because it’s square and boring. Does it even look square to you? This uneven 25 is supposedly a square. I never made a square of 25 things. What’s the fucking point in that? If I had to make a square for any purpose whatsoever, I’d definitely chose a better number with many more factors, so I could actually use the squaredness to divide things and mark mid points and what not. 4 is a square. 16 is a square. They’re so much better at being square than 25, because you can cut them in half and make a grid with a midpoint.

So, yeah yeah, there are probably other numbers out there greater than 5, but it sure as fuck is not 25.

It’s a response to Neil Young’s songs which criticized the racist south.

Basically, it’s what-about-ism in song form, mocking the liberals for being upset with Nixon.

It’s part of a larger plan to get cars out of the central city, which is plagued by rush hour traffic and expensive parking.

The point is to get the commuters out of the cars outside of the city by allowing them to ride the train for free from the commuter parking outside the city at the freeway and into the city.

Poverty isn’t an issue in this regard. The public transport is already cheap and the entire city has bike lanes everywhere. I wouldn’t want to own a car there if I lived there, but for a lot of people it’s necessary in order to commute to the city.

If I could drop out of everything for 29 days, I wouldn’t come back at all.

Art has always had that issue. Is a potato print worse than a hand drawn figure?

Sometimes you need to know the material or technique to appreciate the effort.

It also applies outside of art. It’s not always the end product that is important. We can appreciate things for being more difficult than necessary. Like the game Roller Coaster Tycoon being impressive because it was coded in assembly, or the Olympic guy who no-scoped in the shooting competition etc.

If the AI prompt is the effort, it should be appreciated as such, instead of comparing the end product against other techniques. We also don’t compare airbrushed grafitti artwork to oil paintings, because even if the end product of both is a neat picture, it’s impossible to judge against each other.

Jazz.

The caps was a problem yes. Not just littering, but also in sorting for recycling, where they’d often end up in the wrong place.

It obviously depends on where and how it’s done, but the thing I’ve heard is that due to (the lack of) weight and size the bottle caps would end up in the paper badges, which would ruin the paper from being recycled. It’s better if it follows the bottle. PET bottles (including caps) are shredded, washed and used for new bottles.

Same thing happened to the pull tabs on aluminium cans. Those used to be separate too.

I feel the same way about Charles Bukowski. I can read, understand and appreciate the books without liking the guy. He also paints himself in a negative picture, but the thoughts are still worth considering or just knowing of. Whether or not it’s intended, I think it’s okay for litterature to provoke the reader to think that the author is wrong or plain crazy, because at least it makes me think about stuff instead of just entertaining my existing views.

I did read Lila 25 yeas ago, but I hardly remember it. It’s been a long time since I last read any books at all. Perhaps I ought to give it a second chance.

It’s worth a read.

I think it’s often frowned upon for being somewhat of a naive juvenile pocket philosophical rambling, or the dairy of a madman, but I’d say that it introduces some valid points about the concept of quality that you can then think about yourself.

It’s definitely on my top 10 list of books. Not because it’s great, but because I can often relate to it in miscellaneous situations even 30 years after reading it.

Their people?

The mentioned cars are somewhat outdated.

You might also want to consider newer models like Renault 5, Skoda Elroq or Hyundai Ioniq.

People do that.

Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

That’s a pretty neat FPS for a tv.

Organ shortages are definitely not covered by opt in.

Opt out also doesn’t mean that scientist have to use all the bodies.

It’s never been a problem to have too many bodies. It’s a lot easier to turn away some when they’re not needed than it is to find one when needed.

we’re essentially removing them from the gene pool

I don’t think Downs works like that.

It’s already being removed, since people choose abortion over downs and since people with Downs don’t have children (normally).

It is not hereditary. It’s an error or mutation that can occur for anyone. The chances are higher the older the parents are.

Yes patterns, but also basic physical resonance.

Sounds in harmony creates more powerful standing waves which will affect your cochlea more than noise.

Whether that is also more pleasant will depend on context, but music will definitely get your attention more easily than random sounds due to this basic physical property.

Pretty much everything in the universe are frequencies. Things that resonate are simply more powerful better than things that don’t.

It would be interesting to follow them. Find out where they live or where they go in their off time. Then call the ICE on them.

If you use 3 slices of ham in a regular sandwich, you will need 9 slices to create the scaled version of the pictured sandwich.
