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.

Lord of The Rings

For a specific definition of readable, yes

“Nuuuuu-uuuuuh! Light nobels dun count! I’m pooping my poopy pants!!!1!”

Japanese literature

You mean generic isekai #38487?

That is precisely it. Generative AI is a tool, just like a digital canvas over a physical canvas, just like a canvas over a cave wall. As it has always been, the ones best prepared to adapt to this new tool are the artists. Instead of fighting the tool, we need to learn how to best use it. No AI, short of a true General Intelligence, will ever be able to make the decisions inherent to illustration, but it can get you close enough to the final vision so as to skip the labor intensive part.

No, manga does not count.

“Nuuuuh, the most diverse medium with the wildest stories doesn’t count!! I’ll poopy my pants if you count it”

That’s actually me removing semicolons from Python.

Your preferences are asinine to a sustainable society. Which part of that can you not understand?

You need to use ">" to quote someone.

🙄👌👍 I love it when the zealots start telling me how much I sweat. It’s giving insane deranged shit lol.

I suffer from severe hyperhidrosis, meaning I literally can’t stop sweating and sweat way more than the average person at any given temperature. Public transportation does just fine for me.

You most certainly do not walk with a family sized trip. I fill a literal full size us grocery cart. Not a chance you are doing that walking without some insane system.

I literally do. Maybe all that sitting around in a car has caused your muscles to atrophy.

Yes, you are. Also a liar.

privacy

How is that important in a commute?

AC

Busses and trains also have AC. If you’re walking or cycling, the wind will be more than enough to keep you cool.

I get to go shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day

You can do the same in walkable neighborhoods, only the sane thing to do is to buy less more often. As a bonus, you’ll be healthier and your food will be fresher.
