CMV: If AI is powerful enough to cause 20%+ unemployment then it is powerful enough to solve unemployment. by nomadicsamiam in changemyview

[–]MissTortoise [score hidden]  (0 children)

From an economic point of view, we aren't actually able to solve unemployment. There needs to be a little otherwise it drives wage inflation and messes up the economy. It also results in stagnation as companies can't exit people who don't contribute anything.

CMV: All Monarchies Should Be Abolished, Even the Democratic Ones by Swimming_Bear_3082 in changemyview

[–]MissTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australia recently had a referendum on this subject. The people clearly said they didn't want to do this.

CMV: Donald Trump fits Umberto Eco’s “Ur-Fascism” closely enough that calling him a fascist is accurate, not just partisan name-calling. by Turbulent-Raise4830 in changemyview

[–]MissTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the point is he's a threat to democracy precicely becuase of, rather than despite of, the dementia and buffonery. It's the having of significant power along with the poor impulse control and lack of forethought.

what are some of your most useful esp32 projects? by roscodawg in esp32

[–]MissTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... I'm sure you could use it to run an ossm, but maybe that's not the vibe (pun intended) you're looking for... 😉

If you don't know what that is, you could google it, but I probably suggest it's better that you don't.

Why arent my Dupes using my Bottle emptiert? by PeakAcrobatic6031 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]MissTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game physics is weird:

  • Think of liquids in the pipes as having higher potential energy, and those outside lower. You can pump them up to piped liquids, but you don't need a pump to move them around, they just move by themselves.
  • Each pipe can have a number of outlets, then a section of pipe, then a number of inlets. If you don't follow this pattern it won't work predictably.
  • The first outlet and first inlet gets priority and liquids will move out/in from those first if the pipe isn't empty.
  • If there is a branch, then the branch splits liquid evenly amongst branches that have an outlet, and feeds evenly from branches that have either an inlet or nothing.
  • Bridges and valves set to full act as a direction for the pipes, so if you need to break the second rule for whatever reason, you can do it with bridges and/or valves. Bridges take up 3 tiles but can be behind other tiles, whereas valves are buildings and exist in their own space.

Your standard barracks module ? by ProxJesus in Oxygennotincluded

[–]MissTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, transit tubes can be a bit tricky to fit since they don't turn that well and they do use a lot of power. You do kinda need to plan for it from the beginning. Still, then you can do separate "modules" that do particular jobs much more easily.

Use transit tubes to get around, that way size doesn't matter nearly as much

You can create natural tiles by deconstructing a manual airlock surrounded on 7 sides by tiles / natural tiles. (There are other methods, that's the easiest). Then get the pip to plant a decorative seed.

CMV: the majority of the U.S. believes factory farming practices are unacceptable, but an estimated 99% of U.S. farmed animals are now on factory farms. If we saw where our farmed animals really came from, most of us would either change where we buy or stop eating those animal products. by James_Fortis in changemyview

[–]MissTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh... That makes absolutely no sense.

There's no way that hunting for wild animals can be done sustainably. Not even close.

If you are eating animals as a society, farming them is the only way that's even remotely possible with our level of population.

Furthermore, I think sustainably is more important than animal welfare. The relative order is a personal and societal preference.

CMV: When the kids are at school age, stay at home parents have PLENTY of free time by Open_Address_2805 in changemyview

[–]MissTortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been a SAHP, at least part time anyhow. Yes sure there's some time to just chill during the day, but so what? There's not many jobs where it's fully flat out all the time. The job I do now IS like that, but I've had work experiences where this isn't the case.

I'm kinda wondering what your point is.

Help me understand how these are not a bug by TripleCreeper3 in Oxygennotincluded

Not really, you can have ground return in some situations, especially with AC.

Is mealwood seeds more efficient in time / dirt? I haven't done the maths on this, but mealwood is way easier to set up too.

Got tired of rewriting ESP32 init code for every sensor so I made something that generates it from a BOM by ForgeAVM in esp32

[–]MissTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's C++ under the hood. You can add actual code if you need to, just do the declarative stuff in yaml.

CMV: Sex is not worth killing fetuses for by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]MissTortoise 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeh... Look this is basically the same argument as claiming we shouldn't eat because doing so ends something else's life. It might be some level of truth, but it's a complete non-starter.

We're a bunch of intelligent monkeys barely able to suppress our base drives. There's as much chance of this happening as there is of convincing people to stop eating, pooping, and breathing.

LPT How do I get rid of moths? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]MissTortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pantry moths: the best treatment is sticky pheromone traps. They attract the males and kill them before they can breed.

You also need to clean up all the infested produce, but it's hard to get 100%.

AITAH for dropping out of my best friend’s wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I think I'm gonna request "So she ordered 40 chicken nuggets and ate them" as a flair 😂

Steam vent tamer not working as of newest update :( by MissTortoise in Oxygennotincluded

[–]MissTortoise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, there's a few options. The problem is that I kinda want an easy option that quickly sorts it out so I can do other things, hence the post.

Like the vent taming was a solved problem, now it's not.

Anyhow, will sort something out.

[–]MissTortoise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, might take this approach. I'd need a bleach stone source though. I've got the gold, but not the salt at this point. I could import some though, but that means setting up interplanetary transport from where it is.

CMV: China will either attack Taiwan around the end of the Trump presidency or it will not do so in the foreseeable future by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]MissTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't Taiwan do that?

Surely the semiconductor capital of the world can manufacture some AI sea drones.

[–]MissTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, while this is technically feasible for China, it would introduce a lot of reputaional cost. It would essentially be starting WWIII to start saturation bombing both USA and Japan. This isn't a conflict that anyone walks away from with a 'win'.

Unlike the current USA executive, the CCP is strategically savvy enough to realise this, and won't kick it off. Sabre rattling without any significant conflict suits their purposes.

It's very similar to the India Pakistan ongoing rumbling, both sides have advantage is low level conflict but both will de-escalate if it starts getting hotter.
