I mean, can you really say that something doesn’t have a colour if you see it as that colour? Does it really matter that the colour is coming from different refractive indexes rather than that wavelength not being absorbed by the material? If it consistently happens in that set of circumstances, isn’t it fair to say that is its colour? I.e. the coating, oil slicks

Yes I know, but I was just trying to put into the perspective the person I was replying to.

Except the lifetime of the universe is quite small when compared to infinity, so it doesn’t really convey how large infinity is because it’s so much more.

That seems… Inefficient?

New Social media pops up every other year or so. Do they need to meet and vote to add new ones to the list every time?

I used chat gpt, mostly because I absolutely hate how widespread and pushy every company has been about using AI and throwing it in my face so I stubbornly refuse to use any of it.

Sometimes it’s helpful if I’m having trouble making a specific excel formula

Are they trying to prove that they can vote without being identified or something?

Hedgehogs are a little different than cats

Mosquitos aren’t some special niche. Take out mosquitos and something else moves in to replace them, something that doesn’t bite.

There’s nothing that solely depends on mosquitos, and wouldn’t prefer to eat other things which mosquitos may be suppressing by existing themselves.

I mean, do you expect news to be free?

Either pay for it by selling your data or with money, or don’t use their website.

What if all ads are 30seconds long, would it be impossible to lock skipping anywhere for the first 30seconds of every video?

At any point in time those could also shrink by 25-35% over a year

One solution could be during PC initial setup, a list of all browsers above a certain user count is given and the person chooses which to install and use as default with the ability to change at a later date.

Eh, maybe it’s different for people that only have to fill their tank every 3-4 weeks. I need to refill at least once per week so it’s rare I save any significant amount of money filling up 2 days before I regularly would.

I’m also not sure why everyone would have the same price in mind to start immediately filling their tank at the “cheap” price to trigger a 12% increase amongst 8 different chains of gas stations all at the same time.

Many would be waiting for a few cents more or already pulled the trigger a few cents before.

I just don’t think gasoline follows most free market supply/demand rules as much as most things.

Personally I don’t believe that’s the case. Most people fill up when they need to fill up not because it reached a magic price. It’s not like most people have a choice and can say they aren’t going to drive to work this week because gas needs to drop a few more cents before they go fill up.

It was the cheapest I had seen since 2021 last week for like 36 hours and then overnight jumped up 12%.

It always goes down slowly over a three week period and then hits a low for 1 day and then goes up 10% or more overnight.

They should have little nozzles to disperse a cloud of pepper spray around the vehicle in emergencies.

Perhaps due to the reasons that executed prisoners need to be injected with a suspicious cocktail of drugs. No company wants to be connected to the death of a person. Perhaps they are worried they won’t be able to supply parts and components once the news gets out about what their product does.

My back got so messed up after I turned 30.

But then I just bought a new bed and mattress and I’m good as new 😂 apparently my box spring and bed rails were just broken.
