  • Motorcycles are the best means to go camping.

    When you’re travelling, you are outside. Open the visor, breathe in the pine wood air. Unlike a car where you’re effectively disconnected from your surroundings, you’re much more in them. You can also reach much more secluded places, so you can just go to “that spot” and spend the night there. It’s almost as good as bicycles or hiking in that regard but unlike those two, you can also cover distances, spontaneously deciding to just hit the road for a day and sleep 1000 km further south the next night.


  • I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.

    If you want to learn how to code, writing a calculator with a ui isn’t a bad idea. But then you should code it yourself because otherwise you won’t learn much.

    If you want to try and see if llms can write code that executes, then fine, you succeeded. I absolutely fail to see what you gain from that experiment though.



  • It’s just different values. I could ask the same about the US and nudity. In German media, blood and violence is fine, but it’s considered a topic that you need to be able to handle, so you need to have a certain age, depending on how gruesome that is.

    Tbh, I’m European and therefore biased, but the way the united states have no problem with people harming other in media but being offended by something like “bodies” or “sex” does seem a little weird. Like, if my kids normalised harming others I’d be much more concerned than if they normalised making love.















  • What kind of dumb argument is that? “Nobody would do that if it was bad, so because people do it it must be good”. Pff. “Drugs must be good, otherwise people wouldn’t do them”. “Shit must be good, otherwise flies wouldn’t eat it”.

    Energy markets are merit order markets. As long as there’s a single jerk that’s more expensive than you, that’s a good thing. Even better, if you own 10 power plants that are cheap as fuck, you’ll do your best to keep the expensive plant running and selling its power, just because that’s the price you’ll then get for your 10 cheaper ones as well.

    One kWh from wind turbines sells for about 8 cents where I live. From a nuclear plant, that’s about 42 cents. That’s more than I pay for it at my plug. Nuclear plants live on subsidies from the state. And afterwards they dump their waste at the feet of the people who paid extra for their stupid generation method.
