Restaurant menus make sense. It’s easier for them to maintain any changes and it’s easier for you to get the order right. If it lets you pay, that’s also easier and faster than being held up by a waiter who has no interest in getting you to leave the table.
I’ve never had to sign up for anything when using such a menu.
I still think it’s an euphemism for fellatio.
The hardware store near me uses it as a selling point. “We keep low prices due to self service”.
The staff only knows how to scan the barcode and use the credit card terminal. Everything else in on the webpage.
If we give them optimal conditions and the sole purpose of multiplying, it’d still take at least 400 years. 8 billion is a big number, but once it gets going, they multiply fast
It’s an interesting idea, because it shows that the crazy ideas that Hitler had about breeding would not work. All the people outside the experiment would easily outbreed them, simply because there’s more to begin with.
The same for populating Mars by breeding. Not going to happen. Earth could easily outnumber the Martians by sending a single ship in that timeframe. Whatever purpose colonizing Mars has, it’d be a waste of time trying to breed humans there.
Same thing for the fearmongering about Muslims outbreeding the European populations. Not happening. Whatever cultural differences we have today will be far gone by the time that the genetics of either group outbreed the other. It’s like complaining about half the current population being descendants of Ghengis Khan. It makes no difference.
Give outs, without some effort, will just lead people to rot.
I rather think that the people who want to rot are going to rot in any system. The difference is that leeching off the current system is a full time occupation. We might as well just pay them to stay home, giving them a chance to actually do something other than battling bureaucracy in a welfare system or pretending to work in a bullshit job.
People need the fulfillment that a good days work provides
You can always work. UBI does not prevent anyone from working. They can work for themselves or for others or for money.
Crowbar stocks is on the rise.
Dogville.
Or maybe I misunderstood the question, and/or the movie.
The dog is a drawing on the ground. It has a very small part, yet the dog won an award in Cannes for the movie.
Work phone. Boss needs that sell through report dead or alive.
… all because they don’t have sticks?
Fucking idiots.
They can buy billions of sticks, but they’d be useless, because they didn’t get them the right way. I myself would not appreciate a stick that I bought regardless of how much money it cost.
Once you understand this, you can also find rocks and seashells worth more than trillions of money.
So you can argue about the quality and/or sentimental value of ownership of sticks, but that’s also not the point.
It’s your own appreciation of the stick that makes it valuable. You can not get that, unless you just get it.
Can’t buy it, can’t sell it, can’t even give it away, but it exists and you get it. It is real.
I have a lot of shit. I also have a piece of cardboard shaped like a fish that I appreciate. On my deathbed I will not ask to touch my latest car or the cobber stringed guitars. I’ll ask for the cardboard that I value the most, because it was gifted to me. And that’s just sentimental value.
A good stick is even beyond that. My appreciation of a good stick is such that I cannot even claim to own it. It’s not sentimental value or ownership or history or quality. A proper good stick is one that you want to pass on.
I have a bunch of them, so theoretically I’m the richest man alive. At least currently, because like I just said, they don’t really belong to me. I have to give them away to realize the value of the asset. Just like stocks and money.
Why though? It’s easier to change the ETA than the ATD.
Lol. See you at the front.
So… if people can’t trust the leaders that they elect, who is going to lead your communist revolution?
So if not by voting, how exactly do you propose that they should have asked the population?
An election on this issue would not have changed a thing. At the time, polls showed that 84% of the population was for joining. The decision was made by the parliament with 188 for, 8 against and 3 who didn’t care.
It’s a representative democracy working as intended. If you’re unhappy with how your representative represented your vote, you need to vote for someone else.
Take heat from homes
That’s the tricky part.
This sand battery works by offsetting the production of heat to be used in an already existing district heating system.
That system does not easily change into a district cooling system. It is simply not built to run in reverse. Every part of it from production through distribution, exchanging and in-house distribution are made with one purpose: To transfer heat in one direction.
It makes sense to use renewable energy to charge this battery, so they don’t need as much fossil fuel or whatever they use normally.
But, if we were to make a district wide hvac-system the same way, it would probably be better and more efficient to simply use individual airconditioners using the renewable energy directly.
Not really. My wife has some bulky furniture that we plan on tossing out once her mother dies. It’s worthless and of no practical use, which is probably why she passed it by on already.
My grandparents had some cool stuff, but their children got in an argument over some of it, so I don’t know who got what and I don’t want anything to do with that. Hopefully they’re happy with ruining their relationships over items that belong in a museum.
Redditor influx.
This might be semantic, but it’s not by design. There is no design.
The purpose is to fuck people over, because the purpose of a system is what the system does, regardless of what it was designed to do.
