sukhmel,

This was anything but “mild irritation”. Makes me wonder what does a great irritation look like for you

sukhmel,

Well, in this case it must have been recorded on video, so could as well start recording before inventing the writing

sukhmel,

I would guess that you assume environment is changed most of the time, because a footage where it changes gets more attention than a footage where it doesn’t. There are a lot of cams with virtually nothing changing in the view between people passing.

Also, if everyone changes the environment binary search would give lots of false detections in case you don’t know what exactly to expect (like when you mentioned toppling a trash can)

sukhmel,

They must be really bad at solving CAPTCHA

sukhmel,

An interesting read, thank you

sukhmel,

To add to @garbagebagel’s point I am not sure that a homeless person with a car is very common in Eurasia.

But come to think of it, this depends on how much people are willing to move around and at what point are they considered homeless, e.g. if they can’t afford to sleep anywhere except for the car but have a room in a next town etc.

Also, I am now not sure what is the statistics of ownership of things like cars in a group of homeless people in different places. Could be wrong about the idea that most homeless own close to nothing but don’t know if such a statistic exists.

sukhmel,

Not every plastic, but you’ve got the point, turns out PET softens at 70°C

LDPE bottles are more suitable for the task although I wouldn’t pour outright boiling water in those.

sukhmel,

Besides the already stated fact that global warming will only make winters worse, there are better ways like cleaning the snow (ok, that’s radical) or using abrasives like sand or gravel.

sukhmel,

Akshully, the density plays its part becase of Archimedes force an atmosphere is applying to an object. The less dense an object is, the lighter it will weight for the same mass. E.g. the air baloon with helium inside will have a mass even higher that an empty one because of added helium mass, yet it may float up thus having a negative weight (in the atmosphere)

sukhmel,

The USSR may have been amazing depending on what things you value in life. As far as I understand, the only thing that was in abundance is stability, which is not the only thing needed for an amazing life, as far as I am concerned.

Also, the image of USSR in pop culture seems to have improved a lot and is now much better than the real thing had ever been, but that’s just marketing bullshit

sukhmel,

If it works someone will reverse engineer it with time

sukhmel,

Somehow the response got lost 🤔

It did float even though it was not new and not spacious. Then again, there are sail sport yachts that may be even cheaper but can’t be used as a home or to navigate an open water.

sukhmel,

For decades may as well be anything from 20 years up, afaik patents may live for 50 years so this seems to work fine

sukhmel,

My ex-teamlead owns a yacht (if he didn’t sell it). The catch is that yacht is worth about $40 thousands, not $4 millions.

Also there was a person in USSR who built a yacht and circumnavigated the Earth on that, not everyone who do own a yach own that luxury slab of floating gold

sukhmel,

Oh, yes, the contractors, not-exactly-people existing only when convenient. And the conditions for them are usually bad even when their manager tries to improve those, because tops see no additional value in improving conditions for someone that doesn’t exist work in the main corp

sukhmel,

It suddenly got me that this may be seen as capitalism (regarded by some as apex idea of humanity) is driving humanity extinct. Quite a sad irony

sukhmel,

We once accidentally did this in China far off the usual tourist locations for foreigners. People were chilling outside sitting around the table and we mastook them for a café. The host told us about the errors of our ways but was hospitable enough to talk with us and offered some food, which we paid for. That was an interesting experience

sukhmel,

Luckily Soviet Russia is gone (for now 🤔) and they seem to let go more easily if you don’t commit some really atrocious crime like spreading stickers in the shop, posting online, or standing on the streets with a Constitution quotes. If you took some millions and ran away, just be diligent and spare some of the money and they couldn’t care less.

This may not reflect the real state of affairs but is a good approximation

sukhmel,

He can offer them to run an insurrection in the US if paid enough. >!Then proceed to do nothing and disappear when someone actually asks for results!<

sukhmel,

Yeah, I know just wanted to be a bit of bummer. TBF Soviet Russia seem to be good for memes or sci-fi but not much else, anyway. Appreciate you being helpful and explaining, though.

sukhmel,

Yeah, also way more stable in countries where you are not protected by the law and may be told get outta the property you’re renting less than a month in advance. And in countries where you’re protected, the landlord will usually get in your arse checking if you’re a fraud, this makes renting quite a bit more of a problem.

sukhmel,

I always thought that it mocks the idea of giving tip for everything everywhere to highlight that tipping is not a very good practice

sukhmel,

No sleep vs any amount of sleep is a hell of a difference
