How to be less racist/bigotred?
  • It is a paradox because there's no objective, universal definition of tolerance. It's literally impossible to be tolerant of everything. So you're left with different forms of what intolerance people deem acceptable.

    People make the same mistake about bigotry. It's impossible not to be a bigot. You just don't want to be the wrong kind of bigot. Now if only we could all agree on exactly what that was.

  • Reddit undeleting comments and hiding them
  • It's not fishy (at least not intentionally so). It's a limitation of their database. It can only show 1000 comments. So it won't find your very old posts when you sort by them.

    So they're not restoring comments. It's just very difficult to find your old comments to actually delete them.

  • The U.S. is paying Russia $1 billion for enriched uranium. Every year
  • That's just flat out wrong. Reprocessing is significantly more expensive at current uranium prices.

    And so many states would throw up tons of roadblocks for reactors shipping their used fuel offsite to a central reprocessing facility.

  • The U.S. is paying Russia $1 billion for enriched uranium. Every year
  • No, not directly. You'd have to divert it and only irradiate it for short periods of time (30 days rather than the 18 to 24 month cycles that current plants have).

    Proliferation isn't a significant concern for reprocessing within the US. It's primarily a concern for other non nuclear weapons countries that start it because they can then create nuclear weapons.

    The US has no need to do that. They have more plutonium than they need for current weapons and it has a half life in the hundreds of thousands of years so it will last forever.

  • FCC chair: Speed standard of 25Mbps down, 3Mbps up isn’t good enough anymore
  • The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that's far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.

    But then you're looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).

  • BMW M Boss Wants Next M3 And M4 To Be Pure Electric
  • That's not a great comparison since I'd categorize the Bolt as being fairly inefficient. It has poor aerodynamics (wrong shape and no flsf bottom) which results in a larger range loss when range matters most at interstate speeds.

    The Bolt is efficient in city driving, but not otherwise. I'd say a better comparison would be between the Mach e and model Y where you do see a meaningful difference in efficiency.

  • Alabama Failed to Carry Out Its Last Two Executions. It’s Trying Again This Week.
  • What I mean is that take a situation where someone was convicted of murder, but the reality is that was a false conviction and they were only guilty of manslaughter.

    I shouldn't have used the "innocent person" phrasing because that's too low resolution for this discussion. You can't always neatly put a person into innocent/guilty categories.

  • Alabama Failed to Carry Out Its Last Two Executions. It’s Trying Again This Week.
  • I'm not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent. It could be that they made mistakes and we're careless and that was a part of what led them to being falsely convicted.

    Literally zero incentive is an extremely high bar and certainly incorrect.

    I understand wanting to ensure there's a better incentive than currently exists, but giving them the death penalty for false death penalties is just a roundabout way of stopping the death penalty. So you may as well just do that directly.

  • 57 electric cars range tested at highway speeds - who wins?
  • That doesn't make it a bullshit test. It makes it a different test. IMO range is more important than efficiency.

    And if DCFC stations were everywhere, then I'd agree that would be more of a factor. But given that a 15 mile difference in range can be the difference between 100 miles between stops and 200 miles between stops, I'd still say range is more important than charge speed.

    Doubly so since the highest range EVs are also among the highest charging speed EVs.

  • 'Do not, for the love of God, tell kids that slavery was beneficial'
  • There's certainly debate about that. And that's the exact discussion you want to see occuring as that's what teaches critical thinking.

    So yes, you should be discussing the beneficial aspects of slavery.

  • Does a "10 hour drive" include breaks?
  • Nah, if Google maps says it takes 10 hours, then it takes 10 hours with stops unless you're in the bottom 10% of traffic (such as if you're a truck towing a trailer).

    If you're like most people going 5 to 10 mph over, then you'll beat Google maps time by about 15 minutes per 2 hours of drive time without stopping.

  • Alabama Failed to Carry Out Its Last Two Executions. It’s Trying Again This Week.
  • Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?

    You analogy might be relevant if the DA knew the person was innocent and intentionally framed them and/or continued to prosecute. But it's not remotely the same to have done so and been mistaken.

  • Ft Collins Trail Suggestions

    I'll be visiting ft Collins in early August and renting a bike. What are the best trails to check out around town. I'll be working until about 5 PM so the trails need to be reasonably close to the city and 2 to 3 hours in length so I can make it back before dark. I expect to have 3 to 4 evenings available.

    I'm an intermediate rider. I will likely be renting a Ripley or Ripmo. Any suggestions on what trails to check out (or where/what bike to rent) are appreciated.
