@AkaSci it is my favorite book. Completely rewrote my wetware when I read it in my early 20s.

Only downside is I easily understand a lot of complex stuff — self reference, recursion, etc — but would take about 800 pages to explain it. ‍️

@cazabon @kathhayhoe mostly because you can get a gigawatt of solar+batteries online in a few years but it takes like 15-30 to get a nuclear plant online. It also happens to be a lot more expensive.

We absolutely should not have killed nuclear power in favor of coal in the 70s. But we don’t have time now to focus on it as a solution.

@briankrebs cool, thanks

@briankrebs are these plans with the universities? Or some other kind of plan that you qualify for because you’re a student?

@kboyd @mlanger and I my whole original point was about the risk of asshole dudes peeing on the seat in public toilets, not what happens at home

@kboyd @mlanger exactly. And that’s why women need to lift the seat back up after they pee.

I don’t see any way “men should do all the work” is the right answer unless you just think men should do the work. I can see why, sometimes, but everyone acts like there’s some objective reason, as opposed to just… they think men should do the work.

I’ve been having this argument for nearly 40 years, and I assume you’re just as set in your opinion.

@scuttlebutt @mlanger @kboyd this is actually what eventually killed the debate at my house. Not about which gender has to touch the toilet, but about the health aspects

@mlanger @kboyd I mean, there is and always has been in my house.

I don’t really understand why it should only be the responsibility of one group, and not shared. I had to teach myself to raise and lower the seat with my foot. Why shouldn’t everyone else?

God I love that someone is doing actual analysis on this question that my mom and sisters constantly harangued me about as a kid. (We were even gender split in the house.)

I have recently concluded, at least for public restrooms, that the correct answer is actually that all toilet seats should be spring-loaded so they always lift. Because too many lazy asshole dudes will just pee on it instead of lift it, and that is by far a worse outcome than having to lift or lower it.

(My long term position has been that the sitters and standers should split the lift/lowering work equally. Unsurprisingly, my sisters did not agree and thought us boys should do all of the work.)

@hongminhee @jalefkowit huh. I’ve been pondering using it for some projects of mine, so this is good to know.

Is it a fundamental problem with JSON-LD, such that it should just be avoided, or a problem with how ActivityPub uses it?

And is there something else you’d recommend that fulfills the same goals?
