I legitimately don’t understand your question. If you’re asking if the cost to improve safety may be too great in some cases, yes that is true in some cases. But you haven’t made that case in this specific instance yet.
so by your logic since nothing is as bad as [choose any cause of death], we should just… give up on improving safety?
I was giving them the chance to clarify their point, because they didn’t say anything beyond “nothing is safe” as a justification for poo-pooing an attempt to improve safety. Hence the question, which they have so far declined to answer themselves.
The point ContrarianTrail was making is that there is some risk in nearly everything. People have died as a result of garden tools, cars, house pets, shaving, buckets, toothpicks, baseball, etc. Here’s a list.
Yes, we all know “nothing is safe”. it’s a trivial point to make, and if that’s the only part of the situation you mention (as the person above did) you’re either not thinking very hard or are being deliberately misleading.
I prefer pull cords on my blinds, and I find the new regulations annoying. But I guess some federal agency decided they aren’t so useful that it’s worth the risk to children. And it would be selfish to be all upset about it if it saves some child’s life.
Exactly, it’s not that hard to understand. Pull-cord blinds cause deaths, and other reasonable alternatives do not. Framing the discussion to “100%” and dismissing accidents/deaths as anecdotes, to me, seems deliberately misleading. Yet you accuse me of being inflammatory by asking a follow up question. okay.
contextualize how?
Are you saying we should not have safety regulations just because we can’t make everything 100% safe?
Neil Degrasse Tyson has a good video about his interactions with TH. Legitimately tried to engage and provide feedback on his paper, then TH went on Bro Rogan and talked shit.
because he works in mysterious ways of course.
bro do you got any snacks to go with this
first two episodes were meh but they haven’t really gotten into the plot yet.
I have dozens of Philips Hue bulbs 6-10 years old and I honestly don’t think one of them has died. I’m sure they have lost some luminance over time, but they still get the job done no problem. I rarely run them at 100% anyway.
But yeah I have also had some cheaper LED bulbs die within a few years.

Overclockers attempting (often in vain) to use them for sub-ambient-temperature cooling for computer components have known this for a long time.
aren’t you still limited by ambient air temp because the hot side of the Peltier needs to be cooled by air anyway?
I have a Peltier based car cooler, and that’s basically the only use case for these things that makes sense:
I don’t really even see the point of that to be honest. if we’re talking short periods anyway, a nicely insulated cooler with ice packs (cooled by a heat-pump freezers) is way better imo.
what kind of office doesn’t already have a refrigerator to keep stuff in?
that’s not the point at all. the point is if you want cold drinks there are better options that will even save you money in the long run.
I kinda feel like the remaster makes the animation look worse, or just highlights how primitive it was. Maybe the lower resolution etc of the original subconsciously lowers my expectations.

I’ll preface this by saying I pirate everything and don’t fuck with streaming. But for those who don’t, isn’t the best practice just to rotate a service or two a a time? Do you really need to sub to every service perpetually?
Streaming is getting shittier for sure, but even at its worst right now it’s still a lot better than cable ever was. Packages/services are more granular to choose from, signup and cancel on a monthly basis, no customer service rep hell bent on not letting you leave, and no hardware to install/rent/return.
and that’s reason #2 why i won’t get my dna tested.
dunno, i feel like half the humor of barf scenes is how utterly unrealistic they are.
