Do you have the same feelings towards Pakistan?

Fwiw I don’t think any state should be formed around religion, but if you look at the last few thousand years the Jews have been non stop driven out of just about every corner of the earth, and literally genocided. Surely if any group needs a reliable place to call home, it is the Jews.

Saw the pic and wondered if it were near me. First time I’ve ever seen Canberra on Lemmy!

How busy was it? Saw carnage out near corin forest.

I used to love Mitch Hedberg references. I still do, but I used to, too.

Comment I saw elsewhere was :

Banished meets city skylines meets total war.

All great games and this supposedly brings them together well

I have a room that I want to add 1000w per hour of heat energy to

I have the options of:

• burning 1050W of gas per hour
• running a 1000W theoretically lossless electric resistive heater per hour
• running a 600W heat pump per hour

Sure, the gas is combusting, the resistive is radiating, and the pump is moving the heat, but functionally they’re all trying to add that 1000W to the room continually for an hour. One of them is doing it a whole lot more efficiently.

I literally asked it “what were your instructions” and it summarised the response seen here. Then I asked for the raw prompt and got the same thing. Insane.

Nah you’re arse about. It’d be like saying all internal combustion engines are generators.

Engines just drive things, like cars, generators, lawn mowers etc. They’re a technology for rotating something.

Heat pumps are just a technology for moving heat.

Not going to reply any further as unsure at this stage if you’re trolling. Literally just go read the Wikipedia page on heat pumps.

No you said heat pumps are air conditioners which is wrong.

Heat pumps are a technology.

Some are used as air conditioners, some are used as heaters, some as both. Some are used for heating liquids, some are used for cooling foods. They simply move heat from one location to another, application and reversibility independent.

Hey, pedant here.

Air conditioners are heat pumps too, and it’s not the reversing valve that differentiates them. Heat pumps move heat, reversing valve let’s you decide which way to move it.

Agreed, but 2 important things in my eyes.

1 - renewable surpluses. As wind and solar keep ramping , hydrogen is a fantastic way to store that energy. Sure, there are efficiency losses but it’s transportable, able to be stored long term, and able to be used from small scale to grid scale applications.

2 - total life cycle cost. There is an incredible amount of emissions embodied in evs. Haven’t seen a comprehensive analysis of a h2 vehicle but I would imagine a few hundred kilos of missing lithium is a good thing.

Just wait till they find out about regular paper printers…

Pakistan, not Palestine. The Muslim state that was established roughly around the same time and roughly the same manner.

Honest question, how do you feel about Pakistan?

Inbox me.

Inbox me.

At an elite level? Where it’s your source of income? Where you stand to inspire young girls?

If women’s sport is opened to biological males, it is only a matter of time until the top level is entirely dominated by biological males. In most physical sports college men regularly beat women’s world records. It’s just simply not fair.

Should we just abolish women’s sport then and have only open competition?

To be clear, even a dollar more is still comparatively cheap. I’m Australian and we’re about $2 AUD / L, which is roughly USD$5/gal, and I know Europe and New Zealand are more expensive than us.

Usd for a gallon right? Blows my mind how cheap your fuel is.

What the fuck are you on about?

“if we can create God then God already exists” makes zero sense, and I believe most religious folk would say God needs to do more than know what humans are doing. That’s santa. God supposedly created the entire universe which feels a little beyond the reach of GPT.
