  • i feel like there are more interesting spectator sports to use for that, but i guess if you're easily overwhelmed...

  • you're leaving out the "miraculously lands on the rim" case, leaving good money on the table

  • probably not, in the same way that a coin toss isn't.

  • apple design their own chips. they don't make them. they have to join the production queue at tsmc or foxconn like everybody else. and when demand goes up the queue gets longer.

  • yeah okay but i'm still not playing snakes and ladders with you

  • not as much in an omelet though

  • free hippos!

  • maybe we both had some local bias then, as here they are typically built on high ridges where nobody lives anyway.

  • most people aren't driving 24 hours a day though.

    also, that finnish experiment had only 26 self-selected participants so the same argument applies.

    not that this lends any credence to the "wind turbines are harmful"-side, either; that was never what i was driving at. i pointed out that the article makes the same claims about dc's as the paper i linked did about wind turbines.

    someone else pointed out that even though the claims about their effects lack merit, *we still build them away from people". which is what i think we should do to dc's as well, for the same reasons.

  • not with that attitude

  • centaur = brain of a man, speed of a horse.reverse centaur = brain of a horse, speed of a man.

    substitute horse with ai.

  • just goes to show, mid-level lackeys will do anything for Poon

  • yeah it's not very good. but it's one study of many and it was more to show that people are actually having issues with them.

  • in many european languages, the word "extra" (as in a background character) translates as "statist" or some variation thereof.

  • interestingly the one i was next to was one of the first to use the evaporative cooling tech most of them use now. it was developed partly at my university.

  • that's why i mean it's the same thing. don't build them near people. we know ground-transferred infrasound is bad for your health.

    as for louder, idk. i worked next to a facebook dc for years, it was eerily quiet.

  • so same thing as for wind turbines then

    Edit: as in, they should not be built where people live because you can feel the vibrations and it has a measurable effect on your vascular health. i linked a paper.
