Liberalism is just letting people do what they want so long as it doesn't interfere with letting people doing what they want

Support gay marriage? That's liberal.

Support corporations paying people 30¢ per hour for 18h workdays? That's liberal.

Support people having access to HRT and abortions? That's liberal.

Support people owning guns? That's liberal.

Support unrestricted immigration and trade? That's liberal.

The problem is it doesn't fit in with the US definition of "left" and "right" - it's economically far right but socially far left, and most Americans just cannot understand that

Then again Wikitionary has both, so just use that for everything (including scrabble if you wanna get chaotic)

Wait wtf, how hot does it have to be for you to wear shorts?

I'll begin wearing them 100% of the time at 50F and 0% at maybe 30F?

And then I'll have to cower indoors in underwear only at 70F or so, as that's *too* hot

Let's not pretend Guyana are as bad as Mexico, Nigeria and Kazakhstan though

I don't think you understand how it works... An upload:download ratio must average (not simple mean, but that's because ratios are nonlinear - I can't recall the mean type but it's the nth root of multiplying them all together) 1 in a system where all uploads and downloads are logged in the same tracker. It doesn't matter who the uploader or downloader is or how recently they made their account. That's what I meant by a closed system.

An open system would be where you download parts or all of a given torrent via another tracker, and the same with upload. The private tracker only logs what you downloaded and uploaded though it, so your ratio from the perspective of that tracker is different to in reality.

Even if you ignore the first 5 files or 15GB or whatever for new users, if you have those files then great but do you really want to turn it into a betting game of seeding supply and leeching demand?

My parents 1741 house with new double glazing is like that - cool in summer, hot in winter without even needing the heating

I'm amazed that we collectively forgot how to build houses but I guess 2ft thick walls make a dent in the size of the living space and you've got to build a box with paper thin walls and no garden to optimise that

LLMs have a very predictable and consistent approach to grammar, punctuation, style and general cadence which is easily identifiable when compared to human written content. It's kind of a watermark but it's one the creators are aware of and are seeking to remove. That means if you want to use LLMs as a writing aid of any sort and want it to read somewhat naturally, you'll have to either get it to generate bullet points and expand on them yourself, or get it to generate the content then rewrite it word for word in a style you'd write it in.

Life expectancy is how long you can expect to live from birth. It being 30 implies that you can expect to live 30 years, however in fact you'd most likely live <5 or >50 years

Can code in without code completion or checking the docs: C, C#, Scala, F#, SQL (ms server), js/ts, Erlang, Elixir

Have a general idea of but may need to check things about the standard library every so often: Kotlin, Python, OCaml, C++, prolog

Have used in the past but would need to look up the syntax to use again: Go, Rust, Haskell, Java, Gleam

I'm probably missing some from each category though

I think approximately 30 days off is pretty much standard in the developed world, with 23-27 of those being whenever and 3-7 being fixed public holidays (nyd, Christmas etc)

Sounds like you haven't invented Europe yet, even if you spring for a non-Eastern vareity it does make the price of dino juice, houses and cigarettes increase

Medicine

£110/year or so for unlimited medicine prescribed by a doctor

Health insurance

Who needs it

College

Usually free or at least heavily subsidised (even in places like the UK where you're paying £10k/year the government also plays about £5k-40k towards it depending on what course etc.)

Except they usually won't answer your question, they'll just call you dumb and move on
