  • Depends on how you define “reasonable”. Personally I interpret it as “perfectly rational”, and I believe that a perfectly rational person with imperfect knowledge would acknowledge that ghosts cannot be 100% disproven, and as such there is a chance that they exist. And once you’re past that threshold, belief doesn’t have to conflict with rational thinking.

    Again, personally; I believe they don’t exist. Otherwise we’d be seeing a lot fewer Victorian era ghosts, and a lot more Neolithic ectoplasm. Also, which requirements in terms of species are there for a haunting to commence? Can a horse become a ghost? What about a gorilla? Or a Neanderthal? Seems weird that only homo sapients get to play around with rusty chains and linen…






  • Yes, until you start factoring in communication overhead/data loss. That’s why throwing more people at a problem will only help up to a certain point.

    More people only improve on a problem when they can effectively communicate. At some point time spent making sure everyone is looped in on the plan exceeds the time saved by one more problem solver.

    So to circle back to your actual question: Two heads will most likely be smarter than one, unless they spend more than half the time bickering in disagreement and misunderstanding.

    “Best” is subjective, “good” is objective. And Voyager is objectively good. That’s what I use.

    Honorable mention: Jerboa. Used it for a while, but there was a period of Lemmy updating whereas Jerboa did not, so it stopped working. During that time I switched to Voyager. I hear Jerboa is OK again now.




  • Yup. So… sick… of… shoveling. And I’m norwegian, it’s kind of built into my genes.

    It didn’t help that I had a station wagon that was RWD with almost no weight in the rear axle. Driving it was like that Bambi on ice scene. And due to a slight inclination and a sharp turn to get into my driveway, parking in the winter was a special skill that involved a 4-wheel skid.

    Anyway, last summer I bought a new car, an AWD SUV, built for the climate, and with a defrost/prepared timer. It was amazing. I was actually looking forward to winter; All I needed to do was to ensure I could physically enter the car. And this winter, due to an abnormally dry and warm winter, there’s almost no snow. Whomp whomp.
