  • Why is the US currently obsessed with protein?

    Jump

  • It’s 1 gram per pound of LEAN body mass not overall body weight

    Just because a person is in good shape doesn’t mean they actually understand what is required to train and it’s very common for top athletes to use a ton of pseudoscience garbage because they want anything that could possibly improve performance

  • Why is the US currently obsessed with protein?

    Jump

  • It’s a weird obsession because people are trying to eat significantly more than they need.

    People misunderstood grams per kilogram and just switched it to grams per pound without actually converting units

  • Wouldn’t you just need a police officer to go to court and say they are accusing you based on said evidence and then you still face the accuser

    The huge invasions of privacy seem like a much bigger issue but I am also not a legal expert

  • How do men make friends?

    Jump

  • Find a hobby that you enjoy that is remotely social, then perform said hobby and comment on it with other people, after talking with the same person a bit ask their name, try not to jump the gun but after a few times of talking with them casually see if they want to do X hobby together then after doing the hobby together for a bit ask them to do something after the hobby one day like get food

    Then once you become friends try and meet their friends then kill the original person and steal all of their friends, you can then repeat this until you have enough friends or someone kills you

  • Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy

    Jump

  • A paper from around a decade ago talked about using WiFi to identify key strokes so with large data models we have today I would assume they could get pretty good fidelity on a person. Maybe not enough for “beyond a reasonable doubt” but probably enough where your WiFi company is selling your data on what you do at home

  • Myth of Sisyphus is a great book if you want to lean into the absurdism

  • What's it like sleeping in (on?) a submerged submarine?

    Jump

  • Modern subs are almost all nuclear powered so less of the diesel smell (still some from lubricants) but nuclear subs can be underwater for weeks at a time so they have to scrub the air which is an imperfect process that leads to some funky smells

  • China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US

  • It requires inference… maybe that’s a bit too complicated for you

  • Considering your restatement was wrong I am going to assume it’s you

    “ How many cars are sold per year in the US compared to Europe?”

    It’s a comparison between two places and one sells more than the other. The answer to which one sells more is the US

  • China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US

    Jump

  • Well this is a waste of my time so I will leave you with one final look up. How many cars are sold per year in the US compared to Europe?

    Hint the answer is the US

  • China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US

  • Imagine you owned a store, what seems better, having 40 customers come in and all of them buy or having 80 people come in and all use up time with a salesman and then only 45 people purchase. You would end up spending a much more significant amount of the sales revenue on the larger showroom and more staff. This isn’t my opinion this is why the American market has been prioritized, that and the fact that Americans spend more on cars per year

    California has different emissions requirements (not safety) but since they are a strict upgrade to the rest of the US (and comparable to other int markets) as long as you follow their requirements all cars in the US can be sold without any contradictory requirements

    A very common kpi used is to examine the success of a campaign in a per target demographic so having the much lower response rate is worse

  • China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US

    Jump

  • If you are making an ad campaign, all of the US speaks the same language, generally has the same safety regulations, and a much larger percent of the people are your target ad personnel

    The EU is a cohesive unit for regulations but speak many different language and once you branch out of the EU to all of Europe you can see why there are huge advantages to advertising in the US.

    So no it’s not the absolute number that matters

  • China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US

  • There are around 290m cars in the us for the 330m people

    There are around 420m cars in Europe for the 730m people

    So while the actual amount of cars in all of Europe is more than the US the percent car ownership in a single country is insane

  • Turbine go brrrr

    Jump

  • They would melt, but we do also have gamma voltaics which can use the gamma radiation from fission and fusion to generate electricity they just have an atrocious efficiency

  • Turbine go brrrr

    Jump

  • Supercritical CO2 has been looked at a lot for the Brayton cycle which can get 50% efficiency compared to steam that generally caps out around 34%

    The US and china both published studies talking about a brayton turbine but to my knowledge no commercial plants running off of it have been built yet

  • If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

  • You are a billionaire you can custom design a new car with no spyware using reliable parts from other large brands

  • So why not keep time as a constant and if individual places want to change times they can do that

    Even just single states can have vastly different sunrise and sunset times and changing 300m people’s schedules so that a few people can have a few extra minutes of sun in the morning for part of the year seems absolutely ridiculous

    A local school district could very easily do a 1 hour shift as the sunrise gets later so that it properly aligns with their local school pickup times

  • It’s not a joke if you hit boron with a neutron it releases the energy in the form of an alpha particle which is just a helium atom.

    So take some boron-10 put it in a neutron flux and you get helium. This is being done in nearly every nuclear power plant in the world every second
