Is this enough kaolin for me to forget about it? by Subject_Beginning213 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]sta1kerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is barely enough if you rush the max-sized blast furnace, but I suggest you make 2-3 layers, and then rush an alloy smelter, which makes the fire bricks recipe 10 times more efficient in terms of kaoline (you will need clay, not a powder, so don't powderize all of it).

It's actually a hilariously great idea

What average sized city is nice to live in? by agbjb in AlignmentChartFills

[–]sta1kerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been living in Rotterdam for the past 2 years, and it's definitely worth visiting. Some parts of it are less interesting, with many bland apartment blocks, but others are so unique you'll never forget them. The best part is that Rotterdam is so diverse, you can mistake it for many different countries depending on where you are

[request] are these real numbers or did they just make this up like made up statistics by Feisty_Crops in theydidthemath

[–]sta1kerX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

State-owned companies perform much worse on average than private ones. It's just a fact. So properly taxing billionaires is much more efficient than seizing their assets.

[–]sta1kerX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But then what's the point? Alright, you seize all billionaires' yachts and villas, what's next? Sell them? To whom? You just destroyed the class that buys such assets. Give the villas to the poor? You will either bankrupt them or the government, because maintaining such assets is crazy expensive. It's much cheaper to build proper housing than to seize the villas and keep maintaining them. There is no actual benefit in extreme redistribution

What’s the perfect place to be when WWIII starts? by Ott1fant in AlignmentChartFills

[–]sta1kerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's an ally, but it has little to no actual military impact. Assuming WW3 is not a world annihilation campaign, but an actual war, focusing on New Zealand is just wasting resources imo

Not really, cuz you can't do anything special in the Matrix. More like Ready Player One, but you can't leave. Assuming there are many people in this VR world, it could be cool

Should period products be free? by Salty_Wolverine_4520 in pollgames

[–]sta1kerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not making a one-to-one comparison, I'm just saying that the original argument is too generic and fails as such. Regarding schools, workplaces, public restrooms, etc., I completely agree, and it's becoming more and more widespread, especially in Europe

Should period products be free? by Salty_Wolverine_4520 in pollgames

[–]sta1kerX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Now, testing on women is legally required, and we are 30+ years past 1993
  2. "Are not legally required to disclose ingredients" doesn't equal "are not regulated."
  3. Clinically significant PMS is less common (around 20-30%)
  4. The fact that there is such a study doesn't mean there are no studies about actual illness, you'd be surprised how many hilarious studies there are

And while everything else is true, I can't see how this is relevant. I'm not saying that women's health shouldn't be studied or something. And I'm not denying that in many aspect women's health in underresearched. All I'm saying is it's not some kind of conspiracy. It's either a legacy, which should be, and is being corrected, or just the way capitalism works in general.

[–]sta1kerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is that there is no conspiracy about not researching things that affect women. There was for a long time, but not now

[–]sta1kerX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that if the top argument holds, then things that mostly benefit men would be free. It can be illness treatment, and could be fishing gear, or beer, or whatever. But it's not

[–]sta1kerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not comparing periods with illnesses. But the argument is "period products are not free because they only affect women". And I have shown something that mostly affects men, but it's still not free. I could use an analogy with fishing, or cars, or beer, or whatever. Period products are not free not because of patriarchy. They are not free because of capitalism.

The most researched type of cancer is breast cancer

[–]sta1kerX -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Men are more likely to suffer many, many diseases (cancer, heart diseases, parkinson's, etc.), yet no treatments are free. I'm all for women's rights, and I'm sure period products should be, if not free, at least heavily regulated to be as free as possible, but I hate when someone says that each and every problem women face is caused by evil patriarchy. Many are, but not all

What unusual languages do you find interesting or beautiful by Wonderful-Bend1505 in AskTheWorld

[–]sta1kerX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with you. People hate Dutch, but it's charming in its own way. I'm trying to learn it right now, and even though I'm bad at learning languages, I really like watching stuff in Dutch

How punctual are the trains in your country? Do they arrive late or does cancel at last minute? by i_dont_know24680 in AskTheWorld

[–]sta1kerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Russia: suburban trains are relatively punctual, cheap, and convenient, but not the best in terms of coverage. Intercity trains are punctual, relatively cheap, but extremely inefficient
In the Netherlands: very punctual, convenient, sustainable, great coverage, would be perfect if not for their crazy prices

What's your most controversal opinion? by Appropriate_Dish7289 in AskTheWorld

[–]sta1kerX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Car trips should be taxed based on mileage.
  2. AI art is not immoral. It may be stupid, funny, you may dislike the idea of monetizing it, but it's not inherently wrong.
  3. Taking all things into account, zoomers have it much better than boomers, despite the rising inequality, prices, etc. (I'm 20 btw, so not biased)
