The ending of this video reminded me of when I was a child in the 90's, and Mars Attacks! was in theaters. When Jack Blacks character died I was extremely sad and I knew I shouldn't have been but that movie was scary for 8 year old me lol

Reply to comment by Iodine129 in 30 minutes of car preheating in sub-zero conditions produces as much particulate emissions as driving 97km in a gasoline car, or 20km in a diesel car “These findings do not suggest to stop preheating cars; instead, we could reduce the emissions by using similar methods that are in place for engine” by giuliomagnifico

Two minutes of preheating your car before it's illegal? So idling is illegal?

Reply to comment by skofan in People tend to have more memories associated with older songs and movie clips than newer ones, and they tend to be happier memories as well. People also tend to appreciate content that triggers a memory more by giuliomagnifico

I suggest that as a kid you have more curiosity and willingness to try new things. And as you get older listening to music is more of a meditation, I find myself changing the song if I never heard it before if because I don't want to use my brain power for learning, but relaxing. Might be a bit hyperbolic but yea

Reply to comment by Test19s in The killer ground drone revolution is here. The Netherlands has deployed four armed ground robots or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), making it the first NATO country to do so. The robots are Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry Systems (THeMIS) UGVs built by the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics. by mossadnik

I have a feeling emps will be a little more popular when whole armies are a thing

Reply to comment by Ma3Ke4Li3 in Philip Kitcher argues that morality is a social technology designed to solve problems emerging from the fragility of human altruism. Morality can be evaluated objectively, but without assuming moral truths. The view makes sense against a Darwinian view of life, but it is not social Darwinism. by Ma3Ke4Li3

> such as the rule not to grab food from others

Interesting takes on things like this and I'm all for it. One reason IMO that you don't take someone else's food (even if stealing it meant you are fed and continue to live on) is more self preservation. If I take his food he could harm me in retaliation, I don't know how morals play into that. But then again things aren't just black and white.
