I don’t remember asking Grok a god damn thing.

Why’d I want my guests to be excited about a good meal? We are having microwaved peas as usual.

Both Europe and US are big enough to have a huge variety in building codes for different climates in different states/countries.

Your dogs says: Bow wow wow yippie yay yippie yo.

I feel the same, but I do think there’s a threshold somewhere.

Insects. I don’t want to eat those, but if I had to, my conscience wouldn’t be the problem.

Fish. It’s not my pet. I wouldn’t worry too much about eating it. Breeding fish. Maybe not so easy, but fish will eat each other any chance they get, so why shouldn’t I.

Chicken. They’re not good pets. Fucking dinosaur would eat me if it could. I don’t know if I could have a pet-like relationship to a chicken. Maybe other birds are different. I’d respect a crow or eagle enough not to hunt it.

Then there’s mammals. I agree that most of them are like dogs. I don’t want to breed or hunt pigs, cows, deer or cats. But how about rats and mice? They are a real nuisance and breed like crazy. It wouldn’t matter much to anyone if there’s a few more or less, and I surely wouldn’t pet them in the wild. However, rabbits and hares. They’re just too cute. No eating.

So, there it is. Despite loving every living being, I could still eat some mammals, some birds and anything else in the animal kingdom without remorse.

Who the hell goes to his page anyway?

You don’t need artificial intelligence. We already have intelligence at home.

It’s difficult to read if you can only watch the person typing.

Sort of like lip reading

A brain itself doesn’t feel physical pain. That requires a nervous system and pain receptors of which the brain has none. Brain surgery is done with only local anesthesia for the skin and scalp.

We also know that braindead people don’t suddenly start creating brain waves even if the body gets mechanical resparation and pulse. It’s quite literally “off”. So, I guess the creation of a dead brain won’t feel anything or start thinking about anything by itself.

The question is what inputs they give these artificial brains. It’ll think that, and that will be it’s “sensory” input. Whether that can cause some emergent brain waves that could be interpreted as emotion or other stuff is impossible to say. I doubt it.

I like that it put umlauts on the "b"s in the Swedish meatball recipe.

I have kids myself, but I don’t feel ashamed of letting them know that I don’t always have the answers or that sometimes I like to jump the trampoline for fun.

Adults who seem like they know everything and act responsible all the time actually seem “juvenile” in my opinion.

They don’t really get it, you know? Like they got to that level of life by following expectations and then stopped developing past that and just keep trotting along. Some people get stuck there while others “soften up” when they get grandchildren and less responsibility or whatever.

People mature in different paces, but the whole “being grown up” is definitely just an optional phase.

It’s really a question of whether you have electric heating or a furnace or district heating.

It’s not common to have more than one heat exchanger for hot water if you have a furnace or district heating.

Electrical is much easier. You can just place them anywhere and they don’t cost as much to install. However, electricity is usually more expensive than district heating.

Was the classification as a hate symbol ever a problem for them?

This was necessary to do … because of what?

I’ve read that the most fires at gas stations (related to refueling) happen when somebody enters the car while fueling. I don’t know if it’s true, but it has a point.

The potential static electricity from getting into the seat and the dilution of the gas in the air at that position is a more ignitable combination than holding a lit cigarette right at the nozzle. The draft from opening the door will make different dilutions, so it’s pretty sure that it is ignitable at some point around that position.

The risk of explosion is quite low at the pump. It’s actually worse if they step away to smoke, because depending on wind there will be a position somewhere in the vicinity of the pump where the gas is easier to ignite. Firing up a lighter there could be bad.

Anyway. There’s plenty of other good reasons not to smoke at a gas station.

Yes sure. I am speaking in general. Half the time I read that community, I only realize where I am when I see the mods calling other people out in the comments. It happens in every single thread, which is why I think they ought to make it more visible in every single post. It’s a great community and I do read it occasionally, so I don’t want to block it, just because I’m not allowed to comment myself.

That community hits “front page” quite often. It’s easy to miss the community name (and rules) unless you pay attention.

It would be nice if there was a brother community that had the same topic, and a default text in all posts explaining this and redirecting the men to that.

The money would easily pay off and stop more wars than when it is spent on “defense”.

If someone wants to fight, just offer them a sandwich. They are less likely to attack you after having a nice sandwich.
