  • On top of that, you would pronounce 678 as six-hundred-seven-ty-eight in english ... guess what it is in german:

    Sechs-hundert-acht-und-sieb-zig (literally six-hundred-eight-and-seven-ty)


    i'm actually trying to change this point specifically because it irks me ... but i am sadly alone with it.

  • In german and english, the comma in numbers is swapped. So the number 123.45 in german would be written as 123,45 while ironically, the thing that we used to separate thousands from hundreds is also swapped. So one-thousand-four-hundred would be written as 1,400 in english but as 1.400 in german ...

  • heh. tech nerd. i appreciate it.

  • Even better: i just saw this:

    you can even download a personal copy of all the games on the entire archive! for those of us who make backups of things.

  • ramen is just one-pot.

    • carry objects around
    • can actually lift meaningful amounts of weight
    • probably has fingers and can rotate screws in etc.
    • can probably operate tools that require fingers with more precision than mini-helicopters?
  • realistically, yes, at least in america. the reason is simple: it makes the economy go up. if people have more money to spend -> more consumption -> more revenue for companies -> more profit -> higher stock valuations. it's very simple actually. it's very much in the interest of the state and everyone in power to do exactly that.

  • rather than getting essential services

    UBI says income, not money. resources and services provided to you would still be income.

  • i remember a while ago i read that the average wealth of a black person in (new york? or somewhere else?) was $8. fucking $8. it's still running through my head. wtf

  • can confirm. same second. thanks!

  • so what you're saying is that it's the population density that's unsustainable? not the milk itself?

    also do you have a link that it's unsustainable? because i'm not so sure about that. the world can currently produce about 2-3x the amount of food that we actually need, i don't see that declining by more than 60% any time soon.

  • the treatment of animals is pretty bad in a lot of modern industrial setups. that doesn't mean that all milk products are bad, though. for example, things are very different if you look at italy, compared to the US.

  • sure, you can even grow wheat in the desert, assuming you use enough artificial watering systems.

    in fact many countries even do this.

    this is egypt for example.

  • Milk isn’t sustainable.

    meanwhile the article literally mentions that this business has been going on for 800 years in italy.

  • Missouri Cheese

    Much government cheese is stored in "Missouri cheese caves",[10] underground warehouses for storing and aging cheese in and around the Midwestern state of Missouri, part of a national network of such facilities.[11] An erroneous article by Modern Farmer began circulating on social media in 2022 implying all of the USDA's 1.5 billion pounds of cheese was stored in caves near Springfield, Missouri.[12][13]

    The US has it too.

  • people routinely choke on their own saliva too ...

  • there i fixed it for you (removed the stupid watermark):

  • nah i think that the storage requirement grows approximately linear with the number of users, and maybe in the worst case quadratically; but the typical case should be linear.

  • depends ... what are you interested in? why do you want to learn things in the first place?
