I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

Formerly on kbin.social and thriv.social, now on dbzer0 or piefed.social

  • this is a really weird premise. doing the same thing on 6 models is just not worth it especially when wolfram alpha exists and is far more trustable and speedy

  • would you call Discord a pedo playground because of that?

  • normcap is another solution that does this by default though doesn't translate

  • this sounds about right for me. i'd like to note that the one-child policy was replaced by the two-child policy in 2015 and three-child in 2021, with provincial (about the size of a US state) governments like Sichuan able to abolish it entirely. as seen in 2015, the cultural impact of the one-child policy was already too effective, though

    i also agree that there isn't much cultural prejudice unless it's one's own. for example with the Harry Potter example mentioned in the article, the Grindlewald–Dumbledore ship has an extremely large following, probably the most popular one across the entire extremely popular franchise in China: https://search.bilibili.com/all?vt=95006627&keyword=GGAD&from_source=webtop_search&spm_id_from=333.1007&search_source=5

    also worthy of note is that at least Gen X still disgusts at men making out much more than they would for het couples or women doing the same

  • wdym the github is complete crap? it has everything you mentioned you wanted to look at. and wouldn't a too-low estimate for nuclear costs give extra validity to the claim that microgrids are much cheaper?

  • building it in China would not be better than what we have in the US

  • you'd be surprised. I'm not sure which term is the most popular for this, but Japanese ACG terms have been borrowed a ton within the Chinese ACG fandom, which is where you'd use this term. 腐女 is definitely one valid term.

  • i'm far from the top comment

  • well why sabotage your own visibility by replying to my unrelated comment lol

  • okay finally an article whose text is just as oniony

    The United Nations was shocked, U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Friday, when a Fox News host called for the world body to be bombed over U.S. President Donald Trump's difficulties with an escalator and a teleprompter.

    Watters made the remarks while discussing Trump's address to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. Trump complained about an elevator that had stopped shortly after he stepped onto it and a teleprompter that did not work.

    "What we need to do is either leave the U.N. or we need to bomb it," Watters said. "Maybe gas it ... we need to destroy it."

    The United Nations has said the escalator abruptly stopped after Trump and first lady Melania Trump stepped on to it likely because a White House videographer accidentally triggered a safety mechanism. Trump also experienced issues with the teleprompter, but a U.N. official said it was being operated by the White House.

  • the studied location is the UK

  • where was i anti-nuclear

  • "net zero" just means you don't elect for the far more environmentally destructive method of burning fossil fuels

    also, it seems the jury's still out on offshore turbines' environmental impact. some say it creates artificial reefs while some say its tons of noise disrupt marine life

  • thanks, that doesn't have anything to do with the concern mentioned you replied to tho

  • where does it say 20%

  • Actual paper (not calling this a study since this appears to be non–peer-reviewed and only self-published): https://microgridai.centrefornetzero.org/ Be advised that this website relies on some Chromium-only trickery.

    renewable microgrids [...] compared to nuclear small modular reactors

    A 95% renewable microgrid with 5% gas backup - in line with the UK’s Clean Power 2030 target - was modelled at almost a third (31.7%) lower cost than scenario 1 in today’s prices. In this model, the gas is restricted to just under 80MW (2/3rds the size of the data centre) and the model correspondingly chooses a larger battery for storage, and increases the size of wind and solar technologies.

    I'm confused; how does 5% equal 2/3 the size of the data center modeled?

    (Edit: Someone else suggested this: "I think the gas can supply 2/3 of the power that the data centre requires for situations when there is no sun or wind but only makes up 5% of the total energy used over a year.")

    They include a link to the model: https://github.com/ryanjenkinson/data-centre-modelling
