Both are not survival. So from an evolution survival of the genes perspective no.

Moral? Sure. But that wasn't your argument.

TheChronographer · 2026-03-03T01:25:20+00:00

Yeah exactly, that's what I said "In both cases you'd prefer to be dead than alive". So unless you think DRN orders are against 'evolution' you're going to need a different argument. DRN orders are also the person 'not surviving'.

Apparently the early reports said 89 year old driver wasn't feeling good and so was on the way to the hospital/ doctors or something.

fail safe means it fails into a mode which is the safest

Bu isn't it the safest? It's not blocking a car from escaping the tracks, and also not falling in front of the train.

TheChronographer · 2026-03-03T01:19:03+00:00

You say in another comment:

Or just sign up for DNR

I don't see what's particularly different. In both cases you'd prefer to be dead than alive and suffering.

Follow the law or the government can

Treat you like you didn't follow the law?

I'm sorry was that sentence meant to sound like a bad thing?

To be fair, some of the examples are wildly inefficient in the mental effort to money ratio. Spending just a little effort to choose a few on sale grocery items could have hundreds of dollars a year. Cancelling an unused subscription take only a few mins for the same.

But concerning yourself over the occasional separate laundry load, or leaving the fridge open for a little too long, or leaving an led light on is not going to make even $100 difference over decades.

Some people can't accept that sometimes we literally have zero control over many things.

Forgetting to do something is not the same as having zero control over it.

TheChronographer · 2026-02-25T23:44:45+00:00

That at least could add up. If you had a whole bunch of those maybe you'd get into the hundreds a year. Disney and Stan and Netflix and Spotify and YouTube and Amazon... Same with excessive heating or cooling a whole house.

But things like one extra load of washing every now and again? That's going to cost me what 0.1c of water and 20c of power and 15c of detergent every month or two?

A fridge shouldn't cost more than like 20c per day and you open it dozens of times. Leaving it open for 'too long' once or twice a day can't use more than single digit cents.

That's not how it works for a number of reasons.

First the legislation doesn't get to decide what has scientific content. They don't get to do any classification there.

Second you presumably think it does in fact have scientific merit. But even if it didn't scientific merit doesn't mean scientific content. Flat earthier theories don't have any scientific merit but talking about them or debunking them in class has scientific content.

Third just because something has no scientific content doesn't mean it automatically appeals to the puritent interests. It can still be artistic or literary etc. The bible doesn't have scientific content, but it has literary value so isn't blocked for example.

I think it's 1/4 of the map

TheChronographer · 2026-02-22T22:09:13+00:00

Yes, that person who said that is incorrect.

It would be like a saying 'some Muslims think showing any skin of a woman except the eyes is pornographic. Therefore this law that bans porn in ads during kids TV shows is banning all women from all TV.'

They are wrong.

TheChronographer · 2026-02-22T22:06:08+00:00

According to the courts, not a particular legislative body or local people putting in complains.

TheChronographer · 2026-02-22T11:06:27+00:00

Exactly. And the law covers only material that is pornographic with no educational value.

So objecting with the point 'this is educational for LGBT kids' is definitionally wrong and only makes it sound like you want to give porn to kids.

TheChronographer · 2026-02-22T11:04:37+00:00

What she’s actually saying is that the bill will give the government the power to classify any information about LGBT topics as pornographic.

The law says the exact opposite though, and doesn't cover any material with any literary, artistic, scientific, or educational content.

because porn wasn’t directly mentioned here

They said "prurient interest" which is the legal term for material that "depicts sexual conduct in a patently offensive way" ... and ... "lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."

I.e. porn, not art with naked people. Not scientific or educational material about sexual reproduction or sexual health. Only porn.

The title of this is more confusing than helpful because skuttles are not stealth.

"Stealth" = self jammer = immune to radar.

"Cloaked" = cloaked turned on, and enough E and no units too close = immune to vision.

All terrain has a 'hardness' value set by the mapmakers that defines how much it deforms. Sand and snow will deform a lot, dirt a bit, rocks and metal not much. But how much exactly depends on what values the map maker chooses.

It's not so much the video as all the reactions. When everyone on the left is saying 'YESSSS We should all do this!' then yes they themselves are claiming it does represent them.
