I have commited the Num-Code for ™ to muscle memory.

Other interests include bicycles, bread making and DIY. I do own a 3D-printer and adore the Nintendo 3ds.

  • What's an interesting etymology for a common term?

  • Admiral comes from Arabic "amīral". "Amir" means king, prince, chief, leader, and "al" is the definite article, in English "the" (compare algebra or alchemy).

    So admiral means "leader of the", the Arabic for "leader of the sea", Amīr al-Baḥr, was too long to survive the whole game of telephone.

  • Not that I am in one, but I'm sure there must be a communist party somewhere in the world that is doing fine on a local level. I can't imagine how those even could become dictatorships with the powers of a mayor alone, surely those count?

  • I implied that I fell from the monkey bars, and since I was drinking through a straw, I fell head first onto my water glass with the straw in my mouth that was below me. A common misconception of metal straws is that they are dangerous and can pierce through the mouth into the brain.

    I guess I could specify where the glass is in the experiment.

  • I think there was a science experiments book for kids that dared me to drink water from a glass upside down through a straw while hanging from monkey bars or something. It was meant to show how our body deliberately moves food towards the stomach instead of solely relying on gravity, but instead it showed that I my legs were too weak.

    A shame these experiments are deemed to dangerous nowadays and people have to show their ignorance online, simply because the new metal straws have pierced the brains of anyone who did them.

  • If you created a simulation that resulted in the creation of countless intelligent beings would it be unethical to end the simulation?

    Jump

  • You can "simulate" life inside your brain, too.

    [Alt text: this is Bob. Bob is a figment of you imagination. When you leave, Bob will leave too. "Don't leave" says Bob]

    The Bob in your head is intelligent, it can communicate in English. Is it unethical to stop thinking about Bob? Was it unethical of me to show you this picture, creating a "Bob" in your head? Is any story unethical to tell?

  • TIL there is no agreement on how many continents there are.

  • Definitely not the Romans. It may have stuck because of them, but the Greeks divided the world that way long before Rome left Italy.

  • Have you ever made an impulse purchase that you can't really explain or remember why you made the decision? Do you regret it?

  • ‘I just couldn’t do that drive any more’: Woman left job due to three-hour commute on N7

    Jump

  • E-bikes have a typical range of 50km, can travel 25km/h, 2 hour commute if you can charge it there. The numbers work out.

    But you then have to bike 4 hours every day, which is still some light exercise, in dangerous car traffic since I suspect there is no safe bicycle infrastructure.

  • I will get an EV when the range/charge speed will allow me to make it 7 miles in 24 hours. And maybe if they're small enough to fit in a passenger train.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • Honestly, fair. Some people are insufferable when it comes to these topics.

    At the same time, it is a rather important topic and I encourage everyone to analyse how much they spend on groceries and why. It is the biggest expense most if us have any control over, after all, and it's easy to pay too much for stuff you don't even enjoy simply because it has become a ritual. Ignoring the randos, people have to decide themselves if what they spend on groceries is worth it to them, but they actually need to stop and think about it.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • Not regularly. It's a twice a month thing at best.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • 70€ (83$) food, 30€ (35$) drink. (Caffeine addiction)

    I eat less than 1kg* per day, try to only buy food so it's overall 2€ per kg of a meal, so it's 62€ per month, with a monthly treat that's 70.

    Edit: Thinking about it, less than 1kg of food per day was perhaps too low, considering that realistically wouldn't even be half of my recommended energy intake. Maybe the extremely high soda intake I used to have was just to balance that out? Anyway, since I switched to other drinks a month ago I probably eat way more.

  • Easily Europa Universalis 4. It's a grand strategy game, which means it's an Excel Spreadsheet with better UI.

    This game specifically since it was popular in my friend group, got both free and paid updates for more than a decade, and it is rather low energy so you can either focus on talking with friends or barely hold on to consciousness at 3 A.M. when you said you'd go to sleep just after annexing one. random. duchy. which takes way longer than it should.

  • Can you draw us a beautiful picture?

  • Different tools in the program, the coloured marker always shakes around like the stars here (with the crisp diamond shape being an option for it), while the black wiggly lines all behave differently depending on the tool and how you draw the line.
