No, but if you make the device cold it generates wind

Yup, in the sales world it’s accepted truth that you have to cold call. That said, in my sales position I’ve just switched to personalized email outreach for first contact and if anyone asks, oh of course I’m making calls. That probably only works in certain applications, but I’m making the numbers I need to.

I misread the title as “bury” toilet paper, and was excited to hear a new twist on COVID preppers

“yeah…no” isn’t an argument.

To be clear, I’m not saying the basilisk is a real concern, and I’m not saying we’re anywhere close to being able to transfer consciousness. It could be a thousand years or a million years. But we don’t have any basis to say it’s impossible. It’s not saying anything new to announce we can’t do it currently. Obviously!

(Also the book “A City on Mars” by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith does a great job addressing why trying colonize Mars right now is a bad idea. Which isn’t to say it’s impossible or we won’t ever colonize it. Just that we need more research and capabilities before doing it)

Just because we don’t have the ability now doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Consciousness isn’t fully understood, but unless we want to introduce magical concepts like an immortal soul, our brains operate on cause and effect just like everything else.

I wasn’t aware until reading this that 2,400 people died in a stampede in 2015

Something else they (and a lot of other coops) do is set a max ratio of executive income vs lowest paid worker income. So for example I think at Mondragon an executive can’t make more than six times the lowest paid worker.

I think market based mechanisms for calculating pay would be very hard to get away from.

That said, Mondragon (worker cooperative) has a base pay rate and then all positions are assigned a multiplier to determine an individual’s compensation.

Big deal I eat berries all the time

Interesting, I hadn’t seen your earlier posts but went back and checked out your profile. Neat idea

You can tell because the Math mascot, Venom, is also in the image

Hey I also eat ferns when I’m sick

Can’t say I’d really want one of my leaders to do this…

I’ve seen the compass, but in real life conversation when people say left or right they don’t exclusively mean economic views. For example, access to abortion or LGBT rights are generally seen as supported by the left and opposed by the right.

You’re right it’s reductive, and really there are many dimensions to political thought.

You know it

Isn’t Kendrick a crip, so it would be crip walking?

I don’t think that’s accurate, there’s a social axis from left to right too.

I like how the author was focused on how dumb the crime was. Which is true, it was dumb.

Guys, guys, there’s no point in intercontinental squabbling, we should focus on the real enemy, uh… teleporting space squid
