Hate to be a shill, but were they of the Bic brand or were they shitty knock offs?

Lighters last a super long time and they don’t contain batteries which is the real concern.

That depends on who the fuck Vivian Williams is.

That’s a long and boring response.

The evidence that no one can live past 123 is that no one has ever lived past 123. We have a sample size of billions on that statistic.

Some low quality science journal says that ‘maybe we could live forever, or like, 150 or something’ and I say ‘cool story bro’.

I can imagine that it might be true, but that does not make it possible.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

People like you are why Iemmy is almost as bad as Reddit… talking in circles, saying nothing.

Please forgive me if I have misunderstood you.

I am not sure what relevance ‘pop-science’ has unless pop science means non science.

I get that you are saying ‘maybe, possibly, not completely ridiculous to think’, etc., however until it has been demonstrated to be a possibility, the idea that a human might live until 150 is just about as preposterous as the articles’ postulation of the potential for physical immortality.

Something which is evidenced to be not possible does not suddenly become ‘possible’ just because one can imagine it.

That article is bunk clickbait.

Here is an article from a better source saying the opposite.

No

There are appliance disposal companies who will recover any refrigerant and haul away any piece of large equipment for scrap. It would probably cost about $500 to get rid of a redbox.

If it’s bolted to the concrete or wired directly maybe another $500.

Cost of doing business in my opinion.

But, let me guess, the billionaires don’t want them to.

Years ago, I tried cities skylines on a sort of shitty PC… spent at least 8 hours trying to get it to work, then just gave up.

Requested a refund and it was granted almost immediately.

I bought a better PC and repurchased, and not it runs fine but the game itself is pretty mod dependent and I have spent more time installing and uninstalling mods than actually playing the game.

So yes, ask for a refund and you will probably get it even outside the 2hour window.

Because something has not yet been proven to be impossible does not make that thing possible.

Speculation alone does not make a thing possible. You cannot claim that something is possible until you have demonstrated that it is indeed possible.

All things that have not been proven to be possible have a default state of being impossible until their possibility can be demonstrated.

Gibberish, absolute gibberish.

You are talking funny friend… we can NOT recreate the human brain. Maybe someday, but so far it has not been demonstrated to be possible.

You say that we can recreate the human brain because we know the human brain can exist.

The sun can exist, can we recreate the sun?

Just because intelligence exists does not mean it is possible to artificially create general intelligence… we would need some evidence that AGI is possible other than ‘makes sense to me’

Because intelligence exists, AGI similar to the human brain is possible? Your conclusion does not follow the premise.

Would there be traffic though?

Would be interesting to control for volume. How many people per 100k cars are in an accident, minor or otherwise, vs how many people per 100k riders experience and assault or some other crime. In a rough neighborhood, the bus is not safe at all.

Or maybe a little from column A and a little from column B

It’s almost complete… just need to add a camera.

I just recently rediscovered this song by deep diving into punk bands from my childhood. I remember how much this song stuck with me as a kid and how much I felt like it was describing me exactly, but for some reason I forgot all about it. This song was buried so deep as I had blocked out a lot from that chapter of my life.

I could practically feel the neuron pathways reestablishing themselves, launching me back in time 25 or 30 years.

That said, pretty awesome and random thing to comment in relation to this post.
