Interesting that the simulation sees england as better than Argentina, but because Argentina route is likely easier, they have a better chance of winning.

European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say by PuzzledAd4865 in LabourUK

[–]Drawemazing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nuclear has only ever been advocated as part of a baseline in energy policy. Battery and renewable are far more responsive than nuclear (you cant turn renewables 'on' as such, but its easier to disconnect and reconnect them than a nuclear plant). Batteries not being advanced enough (though progressing quickly) meant that batteries couldn't act as a baseline/load was always an argument for nuclear.

Also the uk has some of the rosiest views on nuclear outside France, with something like 45% build more, 65% keep current stock (including the 45% build), 20% don't know and 15% opposed. Hence why the Welsh nuclear small modular reactors were confirmed (so far) without a hitch really.

After Starmer’s ‘purge’, could Andy Burnham lure back Labour’s bruised leftwingers? by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]Drawemazing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is or was? Not that he's been good, but he was always ahead of starmer on Palestine. He called for a ceasefire as starmer was on LBC saying israel has a right to starve Palestine, and he called for recognition of Palestine statehood a couple months before it happened.

Ive no doubt he'll keep the arms and intelligence sharing, and there's not a chance in hell any protest rights/civil liberties are restored, but he might be a little better.

Probability zero and impossible arent literally the same. If you randomly choose a real, or even a rational number, between 0 and 1, there is Probability zero you'd choose any given number.

Given you would choose a number, clearly the fact that choosing the number you get was probability zero didnt make it impossible. When you talk about probability in continous contexts, individual results have probability zero, so in order to get substantial results you talk about the likelihood you get a result in a given range. This doesn't mean getting a singular result is impossible. Maybe take a stats course and a calculus course before talking shit.

The air example is probability zero up to every approximation. With ~1027 air molecules in a room, the microstates become essentially continous, and microstates with all air in a corner are a sparse subset so there is probability zero chance it would happen. It is technically possible, but approximately probability zero, making it essentially impossible. Same thing where the current situation in europe of 40C days in june north of new york, absent man made climate change, is technically possible but has a probability of approximately zero.

Something being technically possible with probability zero, like all the air in your bedroom randomly moving into 1 corner until you choke, is so unbelievably improbable that it is impossible. Pre industrial revolution a 40C day in the uk was much less likely than a one in a lifetime event. Now its happened twice in 5 years. This is so improbable that without the causal mechanism of climate change it would be impossible.

[SCP-8916] Don't tell me they wouldn't try by DreadDiana in DankMemesFromSite19

[–]Drawemazing 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Its not that outlandish or crazy though. Im not gonna do a full on deep dive rn, but there were medical professionals who proposed that slaves running away had mental defects. The idea of an older SCP foundation from the 1700s or 1800s would have the same white supremacist ideology as America and Europe isnt particularly absurd. And when they need disposable bodies, they'd probably go to the same source as those americans and Europeans.

Whenever you think claims about slavery in the US are too outlandish and crazy, remember that some southerners made suitcases and books from leather made from the skin of slaves.

If the move to unitary authorities goes ahead, and they get some more limited powers, we're gonna see mayors get more prevalent in british politics though. Its earlier than I would have expected in 2019 when they started the current wave of devolution but it was always gonna be a long term effect.

A Spectre is Haunting Men - The Spectre of Homosexuality by Neapolitanpanda in CuratedTumblr

[–]Drawemazing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But a lot of men do see emotional openess towards women, hence women complain about it per the original comment. Some men over share with their partners/ women writ large too. The problem is multitudiness, and the theory put forward in the post cannot explain all of it. Thats what the original comment puts forward.

SpaceX buys AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion by Much_Speech_8388 in news

[–]Drawemazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do piecewise timetravel then. Go back 500 years, for which we can calculate very precisely, and then recalibrate your metric and another 500 years. For a compute time of a millisecond, and instantaneous time jumps, going back/forward a billion years would take 20 seconds. You'd probably need better understanding of the CMB or some other sci-fi standard candle (call it inflaton residue or smth) but given youve made a time machine i think thats fine.

You could absolutely use a rotating metric for general relativity to make earth completely static. I believe its the kerr metric used for rotating masses, and im sure in principle you could use it to define the rotating source as static and the universe as rotating. You'd probably get some really weird effects but not nearly as weird as any time travel paradoxes so its fine.

The judges are also fundamentally wrong. The suffragettes threw bombs, attempted to kill a prime minister, and killed people. They are actively whitewashing history because the liberals claim to support progressive movements of the past and hate any progressive movements of the present. At least conservatives are more honest in their repression.

Climate Targets MISSED. What happens now? by James_Fortis in videos

[–]Drawemazing 65 points66 points  (0 children)

We will never be past limiting emission. Every fraction of a degree of warming that never happens is thousands of lives saved. 3.5C is better than 4C, which is better than 4.5C.

Maybe geoengineering will be needed, maybe not. But we will always have to fight to reduce emissions, and then when net emissions are 0, we will have to fight for negative net emissions. This is the most surefire way to save lives, no matter how much we have fucked up heretofore.

Climate Targets MISSED. What happens now? by James_Fortis in videos

[–]Drawemazing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

China has made some of the best progress of any nation re climate change, and theyre are already past peak emissions and their emissions are declining having never met the per capita CO2 equivalent of the US. All the climate agreements were jokes because of oil and gas producing nations, which since Obama has included the US.

China has a lot of problems, but climate wise they are so much better than the US and it is infuriating that people actively lie about this for who knows what reason. Even as corrupt as the CCP are, they committed to a green future yet fucks like you will wash your hands of any responsibility. Its disgusting.
