As fuel? like whale oil maybe.

I was thinking trump was the turd sandwich, but I really don’t understand US politics.

I suspect Joe Bidet is more likely to want to clean out your sewerage system.

cool, that actually looks like a good idea. Interesting for sync uses too , say, in film as i think so long as you re-performed the melody (not the “song”) you’d be royalty free. I do think it’d be funny to hear the Joni Mitchell paved paradise melody in a car commercial - but that’s still creative freedom. Interesting stuff.

Thing is a douche is useful. I giant one is probably also useful in cleaning, industrial or civil applications like sewerage.

I think only flies or dung beetles would be interested in the turd sandwich.

hmmn, churn out a billion random chord progressions and copyright them all you say ?

wow, is Is “nonce” really a commonly used name in the iteration?

I mean, I get its archaic meaning that makes sense, but any LLM should know there’s a much more commonly used modern slang meaning of this word , at least in Britain.

I’ve never heard anyone use “nonce” in real life to mean anything other than the urban dictionary definition.

42 would have been statistically the most likely answer among the original humans of earth, until our planet got overrun with telehone sanitizers, public relations executives and management consultants.

They’re just looking at death rates, not the reduced economic activity due to restrictions in usable land, and the transition costs for moving. They also looked at, say, the mortality rate for the thyroid cancer and count the 2-8% death rate only The other 92% suffered nothing I guess. . . /s

But i’ll grant them that coal seems way way worse. Though basing on 2007 study is a time before the IED kicked in and a lot of LCPD plants were running limited hours instead of scrubbers - modern coal has to be cleaner by the directive - unfortunately the article is paywalled so hard to tell what their sample was based on time-wise and tech-wise.

Hydro estimate is interesting because it shows the impact of the one off major catastrophic event.

phat nucleasss

it has got cheaper, but it has to get cheap enough that you can buy enough batteries with the difference. I’m not sure it has become that cheap. Maybe these sodium battery things will get developed.

fuckin biden making gasoline too expensive /s

It does give the impresson that grand theft auto is a realistic simulation.

I think most lifeforms will have more pressing matters than wasting large amounts of time an energy blasting signals in to space for no reason, or listening to the sky.

Maybe those civilizations that waste more energy chasing aliens die off sooner due to wasting resources on sci-fi bullshit and ignoring their real problems at home.

I think it is in the drake equation effectively, it factors into the length of time that the civilization might send and receive detectable signals - It doesn’t say why the Civilisation might collapse, but the planet becoming uninhabitable is surely one reason. On wikipedia for Drake Equation the Carl Sagan specification of L is in terms of the “fraction of planetary lifetime”.

I think a missing factor might be how directional transmission and receiving is, if we can’t broadcast to and listen to the whole sky equally then we might have a 1/r-cubed type issue with the chances of both listening and transmitting with enough strength/energy at the same time.

Tell your mum I’m enjoying the new album.

cleveland?

It’s my pile of sand, and I’m keeping my head deep down within it. Now “temple of doom”, that was going too far. And dont get me started on the godfather

bunch a muppets

yeah, glad that these sequel fuckers didn’t think about mad max or the terminator either. there can be only one.

. . . that’s what life is, it’s a series of down endings.

“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.”
