  • Then why do we use them on our assholes?

    The epithelial cells keep reproducing, so any cells your tear off while wiping gets replaced.

    But I still concur: it’s 2025, we sent people to the moon almost 60 years ago, we built a world wide computer network, and I can watch porn on a little plastic rectangle, using wireless headphones, so nobody notices that I’m jerking off on the bus (ok, that last part isn’t true, they definitely did notice, and I’m not allowed to drive the school bus anymore /s) … still though, we’ve come so far, and we’re still wiping our asses with dried tree mush? Wtf? At least we’re not using the toilet brush like the Romans, but how about we tried something other than scraping feces from our skin? Maybe a build in bidet? I have never found them in the wild, but when I do, I can guarantee that I’m trying out the warm water and blow dryer options… Maybe while using my wireless headphones and plastic rectangle ;-)

    Are we stupid? (don’t answer that)

    Yes (sorry, too stupid to understand rhetorical questions)





  • Wow, the US education system must be improved.

    I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

    1J is 3600Wh.

    No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

    That’s literraly the same thing,

    It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

    but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

    Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.



  • Thing is there’s only four manufacturers of reactors in Europe:

    • French/Japanese Framatome
    • Italian/Chinese Ansaldo Energia
    • Czech/Korean Doosan Skoda
    • German/Russian Nukem

    The 44% Chinese part of Ansaldo and the 100% Russian ownership of Nukem is probably not doing either company any favors. That leaves you with Doosan Skoda and Framatome. Considering a nuclear reactor project isn’t build in less than a decade, and given the choice between a company that has built several modern reactors and a company that is first in line for a visit from dear old uncle Vlad and haven’t commissioned a reactor in 22 years, I’d say that the French is the best bet.

    So that the French built the reactor is only logical. That it got delayed to the extreme, that’s just what happens when you don’t buy a reactor of the rack.

    [a] Fork That Promises Better Features

    Have they released anything yet? Or are we at the project stage, where they’re yelling at their CLI confused about git?

    Promises are cheap, releases matter. I mean I could announce a project called Betterfox, promising to bring better features to a well-known browser. But in reality I’m by myself, overly ambitious, and going to leave the github page abandoned after the initial commit.
