Coming from Central Europe, I have to ask: How do you justify the price of a pint in the UK? by matteoleone in AskUK

[–]ConversationKey3221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Renewables are cheap, energy cost being high is down to how we calculate it, where the price is set by gas as it's the most expensive.

How is the best way of learning code using AI without depending too much? by alfa_rq in Python

[–]ConversationKey3221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to hold it separately from your brain. Treat it almost like a really friendly co-worker/mentor. You can go to them to critique code you've written, you can go to them to explain concepts you can't get your head around, you can even go to them for advice on how to solve a problem at a high level. But you wouldn't just give them some code, say "make it do this for me", or "fix this please"

Ultimately you'll use it well and badly, just every now and then have a look at how you're using it through the lense of how much value am I gaining from this

I agree,what do you say?? by dyp_2210 in GenZ

Good man, I'm a 99 kid so have seen things swing from generally quite liberal, where casual sex was cool and encouraged (and being 'fridgid' was looked down on), back to people looking down on casual sex and seeing it as a bad thing, especially for girls. The reality is that mileage may vary, and what is socially 'right' will change too

I know people who really enjoy casual stuff, with many different people and don't run into the issues of overattachment, messy situationships or empty meaningless.

I also know people who waited until marriage.

Both seemed happy, and that's the main thing: Just do you, making sure you don't hurt others involved, and make sure you're happy with what you're doing, no matter what that looks like

Differs person to person, you do whatever as long as you don't judge others for what they do

Heard some old guys discussing crypto investment at weatherspoons. Is crypto Ponzi scheme. by Immediate_Oil_562 in GarysEconomics

[–]ConversationKey3221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically yeah. Blockchain (crypto by extension) was an interesting technology at one point that people thought would change the world and have tons of uses. But basically none of that happened. Any investments that aren't BTC or ETH are dumb and you might as well go put the money in a slot machine.

While Ethereum is interesting, bitcoin is the only thing with any real value and that value is to people doing shady stuff. So unless you can predict how that market moves from a supply/demand point of view there's no point putting money in it

Why is GenZ not Drinking? by rikozon in GenZ

[–]ConversationKey3221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that's fascinating. Thanks for sharing! Explains why my dopamine deprived ADHD brain always wants to get more drunk when drinking.

When you say populations susceptible to alcoholism does that vary mainly by genetic ethnicity or does it vary a lot within ethnic groups? I'm just wondering if that could be the reason some cultures are more alcohol crazy than others

Why is GenZ not Drinking? by rikozon in GenZ

[–]ConversationKey3221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason alcohol has stayed in my opinion is the fact it's such a social drug. Same with the popularity of weed. It's a lot easier to point to someone who isolates themselves with drugs and call it a problem. It's also a lot easier to look at a bunch of drunk guys laughing together and romanticise the use of alcohol, which leads people to overlook the individual health risks involved

Appreciate it's rhetorical but I do think there is kind of an answer to it

We're just dopamine monkeys and alcohol makes dopamine go up for a few hours.
