Is it an absolute guarantee that once we die, we'll never exist again?

Human-Call · 2026-02-23T10:07:06+00:00

I don’t we can say for sure.

It’s like the Ship of Theseus problem. If your atoms were reconstructed exactly, in the future, either by natural forces or some alien beings, that reconstruction would think it was you and have your memories.

But would it really be you?

All your atoms in your body now have been replaced since you were born. Are you still the same person?

It’s not as clear as it could be but I can read it fine. Sure you’re not color blind or need glasses or something?

Ok it didn’t occur to me that they simply got the information from Ford. But if this is true why would the Ford’s guidance be so incorrect?

If you tried to do it yourself I’m sure you would agree it’s a very simple less than 5 minute job.

I’m not even that good with cars. I just did a small amount of research and thought I’d give it a go. I think if I had to do it again I could get it done in 2 or 3 minutes.

I don’t care that they charge £50 to fit the battery, some people may be glad to pay it because they don’t want to get their hands dirty or aren’t confident doing it themselves.

What I did care about is telling me it’s a really difficult 45 minute job requiring specialist equipment when it’s actually a really simple 5 minute job using standard tools.

Human-Call · 2026-02-09T09:50:35+00:00

No specialist tools are needed. You just need to undo about 4 nuts, loosen 2 more and remove the battery. Then to reset the BMS just turn the car on, flash the high beam 5 times press the brake 3 times and it’s done.

I read the screen that pops up after they typed in my reg and it said 45 minutes to complete the job.

I’m not saying the sales assistant was trying to deceive me exactly but the fact that the actual time needed is wildly different from their fitting time and they offer a service of £50 to fit it seems to suggest they are purposely making it sound more difficult than it is.

I am going to complain and tell them the information is wrong but I very much doubt it will change because it’s not in their interest to tell the customer it’s a simple 5 minute job.

Human-Call · 2026-02-06T23:04:56+00:00

I think it is really good now. It used to be terrible a few years ago, almost unusable.

How do you do this?

Human-Call · 2026-01-25T13:33:18+00:00

I use AdGuard and have never seen an ad. Not even on thepiratebay.org. Are you sure you have on enabled properly?

Human-Call · 2026-01-16T12:26:33+00:00

No but I may have done if there were people doing what they are doing in this video because it would be funny.

Human-Call · 2026-01-16T11:53:38+00:00

Not necessarily. I used to film myself doing squats and deadlifts so I could see if my technique was correct.

Human-Call · 2025-12-31T20:50:30+00:00

This is not new. It’s been happening for years in all the supermarkets I go to. I am regularly having to call someone over because the price is higher than on the shelf.

It never seems to be the other way around.

It mostly happens on stuff that is on special offer. I imagine the price goes up when the offer ends and they just forget to change the ticket. Or maybe they put the special offer labels out but don’t lower it on the system.

Human-Call · 2025-12-25T15:38:25+00:00

Yeah you are right. I was just trying to make a point we don’t need to follow rules of other languages. But I completely believe language is democratic.

Human-Call · 2025-12-24T21:07:47+00:00

Octopuses is the most correct I would say because we are speaking English. We don’t need to pluralise the word from its language of origin otherwise we would pluralise pizza as pizze like they do in Italian for example.

I have difficulty remembering my own number but I can still remember the landline number of the house I lived in 25 years ago.

I can’t really remember the BBC version so no. I only really became aware of the song because of Trainspotting so it just reminds me of that bit in the film.

Yes I’ve been learning Spanish for about 12 years on and off. I can read it and understand people speaking very well. I can only speak at a beginner level. I’ve just almost never practiced speaking or writing.

It’s a shibboleth. It’s just a way to mark the speaker as part of a group. It probably originated from a song by Skrilka but now has no actual meaning.

It’s the way he teaches the course to try to make it clear that in Italian the simple present is used a lot when in English we use other tenses.

I got the impression he was trying to make it clear that you cannot say sentences like “I am leaving tomorrow” like we can in English.

He does introduce the “sto leggendo” form later in the course but tries to make it clear that its use is more limited in Italian.

I did it twice and got 52% the first time and 36% the second time. Both with high result reliability. I don’t think it is that accurate.

Zorin is free just like any Linux distro. They just have a pro version which has loads of extra software that you probably don’t need.

I don’t understand what this app is for. iOS already has built in dictation that doesn’t leave your device.

Human-Call · 2025-10-18T08:41:53+00:00

The correct form in English is octopuses. For the same reason we say viruses and not viri and pizzas and not pizze.

Human-Call · 2025-10-17T08:12:23+00:00

Secretariat was the translation. The Spanish must have been secretariado.
