welcome to philosophy :)
No, effects are non-linear. If you drink too much, it's bad for you.
Yeah, drugs stimulate the body and keep you fresh. This has both mental and physiological advantages. People should understand that a certain amount of drugs has more positive than negative effects.
Society needs to drop the stigma that all drugs are bad and that we should take as little of them as possible. Just like coffeine, other drugs can have a rejuvenating effect on the mind, and possibly (through mind-body interactions) also on the body.
According to Robert Feldman, chief economist at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities, the data fuels concerns about demographic shifts and a labor crunch in the country.
How the fuck is it his problem though? Is he personally interested in the well-being of Japanese people? No. Does he only care about maximizing his own profits? Yes.
Yeah we need more content, I agree. Maybe we should either bring in more people from somewhere (in case that is even possible), or we should connect to additional platforms to increase exchanges.
Names are arbitrary most of the times anyways, you might as well make one up at this point.
maybe they just don't have any sense of self-worth. That happens a lot.
I find it has a lot to do with what type of people you're surrounding yourself. Some people are ok or fun to be around, while others give me a horrendous twitching inside.
it's not about the taste, it's about the consistency
there's the global trans polycule that i've heard about 😉 spreading the word 😚😚
As we all know, AC won the "War of the Currents". The reasoning behind this is that AC voltage is easy to convert up/down with just a ring of iron and two coils. And high voltage allows us to transport current over longer distances, with less loss.
Now, the War of the Currents happened in 1900 (approximately), and our technology has improved a lot since then. We have useful diodes and transistors now, we have microcontrollers and Buck/Boost converters. We can transform DC voltage well today.
Additionally, photovoltaics produces DC naturally. Whereas the traditional generator has an easier time producing AC, photovoltaic plants would have to transform the power into AC, which, if I understand correctly, has a massive loss.
And then there's the issue of stabilizing the frequency. When you have one big producer (one big hydro-electric dam or coal power plant), then stabilizing the frequency is trivial, because you only have to talk to yourself. When you have 100000 small producers (assume everyone in a bigger area has photovoltaics on their roof), then suddenly stabilizing the frequency becomes more challenging, because everybody has to work in exactly the same rhythm.
I wonder, would it make sense to change our power grid from AC to DC today? I know it would obviously be a lot of work, since every consuming device would have to change what power it accepts from the grid. But in the long run, could it be worth it? Also, what about insular networks. Would it make sense there? Thanks for taking the time for reading this, and also, I'm willing to go into the maths, if that's relevant to the discussion.

Hey there, I wanted to make a meme to clarify what the "grindset" actually does. It grinds the human to dust.
With "grindset" I mean the "hard-working" mindset that lots of people in the US seam to have.
I think it's very unhealthy, exhausts the body, and should be avoided. People should make a living with less than 50 hours of work per week.
scene from Ice Age - No Time For Nuts (2006)
it is a dystopian future where we technologically advance the planet to a state where there's no oak trees anymore. the above picture (supposed to be utopian) always appears dystopian to me, so i made this meme.
