you depend on the wind blowing.

For achieving maximum speed, sure. To simply guarantee you get there? Not at all - the Iberians knew how to navigate solely on maritime currents 500 years ago.

If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn’t switch to petroleum for the fun of it.

We started using pretroleum because capitalism requires infinite growth as fast as you can muster it. Particularly with modern refrigeration techniques and automation, time insensitive navigation for transport could easily be done with sails.

I'd say with Lithium, that's only bad news.

You took the worst possible path to calculate all of this. Just compare energy to energy, that's the whole point of Watts.

Could you imagine a world in which both products catch on? I shudder just to think about it

The fact it uses clear plastic for the mouth has to be a crime, surely.

The average person is notoriously shit at doing objective analysis, so yeah, you shouldn't trust people you know.

It's objectively more effective to exercise more than to eat less. There are countless studies on the subject.

They display all classic traits of obesity

 

I've been racking my brain lately thinking of what are good methods to increase internal airflow in a house with few windows, all facing the wrong direction to catch wind. What are your ideas?

Edit: Breaking a wall to make more windows isn't an option.

 

Brazilian, here. For some personal reasons, I accrued some debt. Nothing eye watering, specially when converted to dollars, but nevertheless a quantity that has to be paid. I've been in talks with the bank over possible ways to make it a bit more palatable, and in typical fashion they've been unhelpful, uncooperative and largely pretend I don't exist until it's time to make a payment. Well, just now, they cashed out too much money before I got to pay (for the stated purpose of paying the debt), so I can't actually pay the damn thing. As a result, I'll have to go through all sorts of hoops and probably get a huge hit to my financial situation, possibly even pay legal fees, all while they sit on their moneybags and do nothing. They also chose to do it at the worst possible time of the year, when everybody burns their cash to buy trinkets for each other, so I'm not even sure how I'll get the money.

TL;DR: Don't ever trust a bank.
