One hundred average American households use that energy to keep hundreds of humans alive and comfortable.
What utility does eth provide?
Because what it sounds like to me is that we could cut ethereum and provide power to hundreds of people.

So what you are saying is that the ones that don't use up the power of an entire country while providing little to no value are worthless.
What does that say about all the ones that do?!

You've misunderstood the purpose of crypto.
The purpose of crypto is to make more money.

We just put a loud blinky thing on the emergency vehicles and let them ignore red lights when it's on, and made the law so everyone else have to give way.
But sure. Fancy traffic lights.

SUVs and pickups are shit in terms of safety. Not because they kill the driver, but guarantees whoever the driver hits dies.
Truly is the most egoistical transit method.

It does depend on where the boat is. Like, the Baltic has perfect conditions for preserving the wood and is quite shallow.
Had Vasa sunk over the Marian trench we wouldn't be picking it, is my point.

Reddit really doesn't know what "liberal" and "liberalism" is.
No they are. It's just that liberalism is shit. Just because the US is stuck between liberalism and actual facism doesn't mean liberalism is good

Reply to comment by variedpageants in If Ticketmaster was a bartender by Andosphere
Because: you can't just start a company without capital. Then you have to try and buy your way in, and Ticketmaster has huge capital to waste on making sure you don't.
Like, what are you going to do? Show up outside a venue and ask kindly if they'll let you sell the tickets on your entirely unknown website?
The thing free market enthusiasts like to ignore is that all free markets tend towards monopolies. Because more money means more power. More power means more money. It will A L W A Y S end in monopolies.
The very function is that companies will fail, and the ones making the most money don't fail and will always be the only one left.
It's amazing really how so many don't understand such a basic concept.

No they can't.
The instruments aren't delicate for the fun of it. Sensitivity means fragility. Even sensitive instruments on earth are fragile.
Going to grab an RTG at home depo, for that matter? It seems you dont quite understand that Mars is not earth. The atmosphere is thin as hell and there is more dust than even in your bedroom. Off they shelf parts would get shredded by dust alone. I remind you that curiosity weights 1 ton and is the size of a car. The issue is not payload weight, it's how absurdly hostile Mars is. It's not beach sand.
"Planetary science mass insanity". I'm going to be blunt: you are an idiot. Not because you know less than the people doing this work. But because you fail to realize you know nothing, and choose to call it "mass insanity".

We aren't in a brainstorming session though, and somebody trying to brainstorm while lacking 75% of the information of the problem is not helpful, just annoying. It's the typical reddit "wow these highly educated people are all idiots, I came up with an answer in 30sec"

Reply to comment by CalvinSays in New antibiotic passes through the first phase of clinical trials with ease by tonymmorley
It was (is) a big enough issue that the practice of putting antibiotics in livestock feed was outlawed in Sweden in the 80s.
Your anecdote is noted.
Let's put it this way: what is more likely?
Nobody is putting antibiotics on feed and it was outlawed just because, and all these scientists studying the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria from livestock to humans are just doing it for absolutely no reason (again, see the links above, that's what they are about).
Or
Your family's farm is not typical.

"Dark" in astronomy and physics just means "we don't know wtf this is but the math says there is something".
Dark energy to cover the expansion, dark matter to cover why galaxies are more massive than they "should " be.
