That or the price of advancement has made things impossible to fix without swapping out entire components or just get a new one. Which has been taken advantage of by making things fail a lot sooner. So much easier to make it cheaper so it gets replaced, and it keeps the company in business and is more profitable.

Or you have the bit rate high enough so you only max it out at the inner song and just don’t need it at the start.

There’s a lot pumped into a single groove, based on video on how stereo works on vinyl.

Aka Helen Keller universe. That’s mind blowing to think about, I think you may be onto something. Maybe their perspective would be much more open, as they can feel their body and understand its reference points, so the stronger stimuli would shift their POV to the place receiving it briefly?

If you’re playing a 1st person game and it’s very immersive, your “self” migrates to the screen point, i.e. right behind the character’s eyes location. So I think your statement is right. A good test would be to ask someone blind from birth (to avoid previous experience with sight) where their sense of being is. Maybe it’s a bit back, between the ears?

What’s the philosophical term for thinking that “you” are not in the brain either, but rather riding along the electrochemical signals and formations throughout the brain, and this would include the rest of the body in the sense of feeling and control of it and its feedbacks (which is the point of OP). It’s not really duality or a soul, as its dependent on both body and mind to be functioning correctly and intermingled.

House dust is up to 50% human skin particles. You’re breathing in all sorts of crap, and outside I’m sure there’s loads more including animal crap.

That’s 2.5B with 80 views a day, or 1.25 with 160 a day. Sadly those numbers aren’t that unbelievable the way people consume short media. Just average it out so some make up for others only watching a few.

And depending on your refrigerator’s settings and insulation, the door compartments may be cold enough for more stable things but not for things like milk. Too me a bit to figure out having the milk in the door was both convenient and cutting its lifetime down a lot. Only takes a few degrees, plus the large door shelf is usually higher up, where the warmer air is.

You’re probably right, as that is the tendency of most people, to not have to go outside a comfort zone. It’s also assuming that’s true, and for all you know people who are stating this very thing might also be trying to do local action and failing because they’re alone. So rather than put someone down for asking a valid question, we could explore why people aren’t doing much of anything overall, and what can be done to change that outside of things getting far worse (which they will, as they have before).

In addition to what’s been mentioned, he has certain protections as long as he’s President.

Animal food use should be pulled back a lot. But let’s also concentrate on how much of agriculture area is used for non-food.

Kokoro was the one I was going to mention. I played around with it a bit, was very impressed with the speed and quality. And then I realized I had been using it in CPU mode. GPU is incredible.

We have most of them picking job security vs. asking the hard questions, and when a few do ask something beyond what’s expected from the officials we call them “brave”. All of them should be doing this.

Some of them from some networks are playing the game because they profit from it, which is a problem as well.

I’m just on FB for the Messenger, maximized to ignore the rest, since they make it all but impossible to use their network with third parties. Hmmm, sounds like Reddit now that I think about it, but FB did that move first. The hardest part of changing social media or any communications is getting the ones you want to stay connected with to use better alternatives. Again with the Reddit comparison, but look at how many stick with that still rather than branching out to a new thing like Lemmy. Or encrypted email.

But I agree with the title suggestion, any immersion of a single thing is damaging, and social media is by its nature and design addictive. If you can’t control your intake, you should avoid what you can altogether.

I note that in another reply you say that it’s about programming and not writing, but I think the same philosophy applies. Do something and get past the decision of debating what. Write (or program) as if it’s not for the goal of publication. Work on the side stuff like art or characters or core structures. Then take a break, look back and see if you feel that one is not getting anywhere. Dive into the next if you haven’t found the drive for the first yet.

It “wastes” time if you find yourself having to back out, but it also helps you far more in making such decisions than just looking at the choices and wondering. And at some point the “bad decisions” that you abandoned you might come back to later and continue or restart to become a success.

In short, doing something will get you somewhere. Waiting until you’re sure of a right choice may not get you anywhere.

I looked for a picture of mine, couldn’t find anything exact. There are so many variations.

Yes, it’s on the list too at 33 MJ/L. Lower than conventional, but still higher than ethanol. The usual mix for drop in use with typical diesel engines is 10% bio/90% conventional. It’s a good use of recycled material vs. just disposal.

Was that tractor a Tonka? That’s exactly what I had in the 70s, and it was awesome. A lever for the functional backhoe, and a working steering wheel for the front rubber tires.

Than gasoline or diesel? No, they don’t. Wikipedia has a large chart on their article for energy density of various sources. Some things are harder to directly compare with each other, but diesel has 38 MJ/L, with jet fuel/kerosene and gasoline at 36/35. Adding ethanol dilutes the energy output some, while pure ethanol is 24. It’s still a potent source (but with its own costs and effects that need to be included in the net equation). Chemically petroleum simply has more bonds to break and get energy from.

Or change the font styles. I guess they did, sort of, but it’s not very obvious. Like one in script, and one in Papyrus.
