Without a doubt! Humans and life in general is uber efficient in terms of energy use. Most of the energy of a car is not directly spent for the work. Work is done when moving mass from a lower to a higher place and accelerating it to a higher speed. But once you have accelerated the mass to the cruise speed, it actually does not require any energy to maintain. Rather, the energy is spent by the car to heat up the air, move it around, wear the road and the tires, and make noise.

We use cars because they are muuuch more powerful than humans, at the cost of wasing a lot of energy. Try to push a car uphill, you won’t ever succeed without pullies which makes it even slower. Doesn’t matter how efficient you are if you cannot output the minimum power required to overcome friction etc.

Okay, I had a listen. Basically his arguments are:

• People don’t want it, it is forced through ruse by socialist politicians.
• It removes freedom from patients to choose their insurance, health care provider etc.
• It removes freedom from physicians to choose their working methods and living/practicing location. The state will control every aspect of their profession.
• By slippery slope, it’s going to lead to the same for every profession.

So it’s an attack point to impose socialism in America. Eh.

Somebody listened to this and can tell me what his rationale was? The unspoken reason is probably like less taxation for the rich and profit in the medical industry, but what are the “sensible” arguments he would be brave enough to formulate in public at the time? If it’s about medical research and innovation, it could be assured by the government but “it’s not the job of the state to ensure the people’s well-being”? Or “people will get lazy if their health is not on the line”?

Yeah that’s what I’m guessing.

Where’s the rabbit though?

Some people use quotes for emphasis, though. So, not sure if this faculty’s on our side.

What’s the stuff in the background on the right?

Yeah, it’s Centurii-chan. Here’s their Insta: https://www.instagram.com/centuriichan/

I disagree. That Crowdstrike crashes is one thing; the issue here is that Windows suffers such a widespread crash, whether it is because of Crowdstrike or for any reason.

That’s an overall accurate analysis, but more leftists have dropped out than centrists. A number of centrists refused to drop out, leading to far right seats rather than leftists.

[…] 43% in favour of rejoining the bloc, compared with 40% who want to stay out. But once the 18% who say they don’t know are taken out, 52% back EU membership with 48% opposing it […]

That’s not a “majority of voters”, that’s a “majority of people who report to know what they want”. These are not the same populations.

Honestly it seems like a sensible change. If I’m not mistaken Frankfurt Hbf is also a head station and you lose a ton of time because of it.

These are very valid arguments that can’t be reduced to a lack of habit. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Are you american? If so, the “unwieldy and too long” is probably because you’re not used to it. I’m not used to letter-size and it seems weirdly short and unnecessarily wide but I know it’s because I’m just not used to it.

Looks like it does the job perfectly. Thanks!

Does anyone know the artist?

I made this timeline back in the day.

Basically the rest of the maze
