AeonFelis,

How would locking the rear wheel work for that yellow bike with the tow cart? If bicycles are to replace cars for grocery runs, I imagine such tow carts would be a must for many people.

AeonFelis,

Hopefully she didn’t damage the ceiling fan with the rope.

AeonFelis,

Does a GoFundMe count as “income”, or will Nintendo try to take 100% of it, in addition to 30% from his actual income?

AeonFelis,

One could also think of it as capital gains, since it grows in value when people “invest” in it. Nintendo’s lawyers may claim that because of that it should not be considered an income but an “asset” that they can take in its entirety to cover some of the debt.

Then again - if that GoFundMe can actually cover the entire fine, that could turn out to be a good thing. Yes, we’ll be giving money to Nintendo, but Nintendo does not really need that money. What they want is to ruin that man’s life in order to send a message. If the public can un-ruin that life, that would send an opposite message - and a signal backed by money, too.

AeonFelis,

What’s the problem? We can just add it to your existing student debt.

AeonFelis,

Remind me again, what is it called when the people generating the wealth are not compensated?

Blind government regulations?

AeonFelis,

That’s a good idea, actually. That way, they could sleep on these benches with the armrest in the middle.

AeonFelis,

Bet they’ll still sell them at full price.

AeonFelis,

Hey, if it worked for King Solomon…

AeonFelis,

We have the many-worlds interpretation that makes perfect sense (as long as you accept that consciousness is just a function of the particles in your brain and not some spiritual essence detached from the laws of physics), but Niels Bohr had to convince everyone that Quantum Mechanics is not supposed to make any sense just so that he could win his argument against Albert Einstein, so now everyone think it’s just another interpretation on equal footing with the Copenhagen nonsense.

AeonFelis,

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone understands exactly what consciousness is for and why we have one, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

AeonFelis,

That’s a survivorship bias. Running a small group is easier, of course, than a large organization (though I’m not sure how much this get offset by the large organization having more resources and the advantage of size), but I suspect there is something else going on there. When there are small groups, there can be many small groups, and the inefficient ones can die leaving only the successful efficient ones. Large organizations are too often “too big to fail”.

AeonFelis,

If I wake the morning people up I’d have to spend time with them, which kind of defeats the purpose of being a night person.

AeonFelis,

I have a cat named Paul which I sometimes call Paulexander.

AeonFelis,

Can “in” and “out” be meaningfully defined though, considering that circle is on a globe though?

AeonFelis,

Not to mention that system started about four centuries ago, long before the Internet was invented. I’d assume that back then, the costs and effort of operating a journal really did justify the prices they charged.

AeonFelis,

The pressure would be less of an issue, there is plenty of life on Earth that thrives at huge pressures.

I think their point was that the pressure “balances out” the temperature - so that enough of these chemistry does remain stable even though the temperature is high. For example - the water remains liquid because of the pressure, so that’s one requirement for life that gets fulfilled.
