I use it in my 50cc motor scooter since it’s got a barely 1 gallon tank that lasts me ~2 weeks a fill, so the price difference is negligible

I figured the higher octane would make a noticeable difference since it’s such a small engine

But reading this thread I’m now thinking maybe I shouldn’t do this?

I’ve encountered some sentiments that they’re bad simply because they’re trendy

air fryers are just a rebranding of convection ovens, which are awesome. I don’t care what it’s called, cooking with circulated hot air is really useful

my go-to is “net-twerk”

Cyriak is that you?

That’s easy. Control a bunch of money and corporations

That’s really quite beautiful. It almost resembles a tiny mountain on its own.

my guess is most modern electronics are mostly plastic by weight. oil is kinda like a rare rock? like semi-rare rock juice

a lot of electronics have a fair bit of lithium for the battery, but apparently we get most lithium from seawater. rare by concentration, but usually not extracted in rock form

so yeah rare, not really, and rocks, hardly at all…

i don’t remember this episode of Beastars 🤔

Parasite Eve (never played it myself but I know it’s considered a classic)

me, who definitely knows how to and in fact totally prefers to build everything from source: [nervous laughter] yeah what kinda dingus exclusively uses .debs amirite?

Is knowledge better if it serves a purpose, like improving your art?

In my opinion knowledge that serves a purpose (improved art, medical science, applied engineering, take your pick) is better than “trivial” knowledge, but even trivia has purpose (it can entertain and inspire) and sometimes converts from trivia to “useful” knowledge when combined with new science and tech. A good example is pure math, here’s a stackechange thread about mathematics areas that were found to have applications well after their discovery, by mostly mathematicians doing math for the sake of math.

Should art serve a purpose? Is beautiful enough, or should it be useful?

If you mean its physical form has a function other than to be perceived by humans for entertainment and inspiration, then sure, why not? But maybe not always. :) Also of note, not all art is necessarily beautiful. I would say a fair bit of “useful” or otherwise multipurpose art is quite ugly. Shock films, muckraking journalism, and hostile architecture come to mind as examples.

I’ve always felt that life’s purpose should be pursuit of knowledge and self expression in roughly equal proportions. So 50% science, 50% art. That’s just what feels right in my brain, I guess.

I think most brains are just going to have their own idea of what life’s purpose should be and most of them will be more or less fine. A majority will have said purposes stifled by the limitations of society and biology, though

• know where the fire extinguisher is and how to use it
• ensure there are adequate and working smoke detectors. also carbon monoxide detectors if there is a risk from clothes dryers, etc.
• keep at least 2 gallons of bottled water per person stored at all times
• keep candles and matches in a location where you can find them in the dark
• keep a fully stocked first aid kit
• know where the nearest emergency room is and how to get there

be safe and well! :)
