A consultant has to understand the technical answer and the answer the leader wants to hear then they print and present whatever the leader wants to hear and the leader has 3rd party sign off for being an asshole to humans to get tons of cash in their (friends/family pockets). The art of bragging is necessary because it is not the technical correct that generally wins.

My diagnosis: Raynaud’s syndrome means cold limbs. Adhd could cause a disconnect with body feelings of thirst or hunger.

She likely is living her best life unless faced with responsibility. I think the renauds would resolve itself after 3 or 4 full term pregnancies.

If you choose this relationship, you have to know the responsibility you are taking. You have to have a safe zone where responsibility is communicated (e.g. a formal handing off of kids and/or finances with paper in hand for 10 mins) daily or weekly.

Not quite. Net income could be small due to paying nz drivers so the taxable amount may only be 7m. 1m taxes off of 7m seems higher.

Also shifting income to another jurisdiction is considered “good management” by management. I hate it, but the rule is “if you can explain solid business logic in front of a judge with a straight face then the judge can’t find issue with it”. The law may be different in nz.

Most parent companies in the usa have hq in the tiny state of Delaware and massive “rent” payments from the “subsidiaries that do all the actual business” to the parent. Many states get into agreements for waste management to be taken over by a private company and all profits go to the local government… and the local subsidiary never turns a “profit”. Sigh …

Okay, I have been thinking more about thjs:

There is a final rule aka a fourth rule or celestial/godly rule - have 2 way communication with diety regarding the judgements you make and adjust to align to the diety. This normally will look like the platinum rule but has the capacity to incorporate much much more. The standard caution is “by their fruits, ye shall know them” so if the deity of your choice seems to say “go kill a political leader in the dead of night” then you should really look hard at both the laws of persecution and that you are not being deceived in any way.

The best way to grow in any of these is to keep a journal.

Humans have a hard limit on the number of people they know at between 250 and 1000, so beyond that, because humans don’t empathize with math, we simply don’t empathize. The outgroup then gets the short stick in negotiations. Politicians and large businesses seem to be a case in point across the board as termed “enshitiffication”.

Fun.

Dust sources are:

• Leaky air ducts: air ducts leak up to 11% on both the supply and return lines for a total of ~20% whenever your central air turns on. Yum fiberglass insulation!
• Shed skin flakes: humans drop 1.5 lbs of skin a year. Dusty!
• Dryers agitate clothes while heating them. Yum lint!
• Shoes track in dust. Yum dirt.

You could consistently clean the air with a hepa filter that you clean regularly.

You could install a hrv system with a hepa filter on the intake duct while being anal about no leaks in the ducts. Then set it to make positive internal air pressure.

You could get a vaccume and mop roomba robot.

You could take off your shoes before coming into the house.

You could try to seal all your existing ducts.

Between all these suggestions, I think your dust would become negligible.

Fun.

If it is stupid and it works, then it ain’t stupid.

Looks good. If you got a lot of cast iron pans, I could see it ripping the screws out that hold the hooks. If that ever happens, make the hole a little bigger and stick a bolt, nut, and washer so it holds better.

Every once in a while the rod may shift. I would wrap a rubber band so that it is “held” to the hooks just enough so you could tell if it shifts.

I read the article. The title is sucky clickbait. Tl;dr: women evaluate men based off of kind acts that reflect anticipation of needs. Narcissists do well on dating apps where they “perform” for the contacts from the “sales funnel” of dating contacts. Guys who do bankroll activities or carefully crafted morning texts are not deemed as good of a long term prospect as the kind act ones.

I want to brainstorm a theory of mine:

Developing humans have levels of empathy (social behavior) that develop based on instinct mixed with deliberate cognition:

1. iron rule - you kiss ass to those with more power and act selfishly to those with less power
2. golden rule - you do to others based on how you imagine you would want
3. platinum rule - you do to others based on how you imagine they would want

Prior = prerequisite

Being able to articulate what you want is a prior. Being able to comprehend that someone else has wants in a relatively resource scarce environment is the second prior. The golden rule has a prior of being able to imagine yourself in a different situation. The platinum rule has a prior of being able to imagine a different person in their situation.

I guess that humans develop capacity to abide each “rule” by playing with cognitive abilities while executing the “lower” rule. Each person can have different “rules” they abide for different people and situations.

I think that women who search for a “kind acts” guy may be searching for a minimum level of intelligence on top of long term support in a family environment.

I wish i had critical thinking to read between the lines but on the surface, everything you said checks out. Let’s print this story!

I really want a space station in the barycenter of Pluto or something. It would be as close to true neutral of gravity instead of the gravity negated by acceleration of mass that may or may not screw up gravity experiments

I think you are oversimplifying. Debt is great when only a few narrow conditions apply: equal or less than the cost of renting over the life of the loan/leined_item, payments match income (fixed payments for fixed income, variable payments for variable income).

Generally hourly workers who have variable hours cannot take out a loan or lease because variable income does not match the fixed expense.

Generally loans are stupid unless it has been underwritten (aka quoted at a cheap cost/interest_rate) due to the three cs: cash flow, credit history/score, and collateralized.

Specifically to address your comment. The rich enslave the poor. Poor people don’t just learn those two paragraphs with intuition overnight, and often the short term need for calories outweighs the need to pay credit on-time. The generation before had to have their hands held with checks and cash and balancing them such that there was more “intuition” regarding loans.

I hope this helps someone. I would share the ways I have maximized the matching expenses and revenue and how my mortgage keeps me wanting to keep a salaried role, but I don’t like sharing too much personal info.

Good luck lemmings.

I think of the earth as a giant gob of clay on a pottery wheel. It spins, it bulges, but ultimately it looks mostly round from a distance. 2 km lower than sea level and/or atmospheric level but higher than the dead center of this gob of clay. Silly and fun.

I met two people who hate seatbelts to this day: a old coworker and a pregnant woman. Both were able to wear without complaint with a large binder clip releaving the tension (on the belt at the shoulder)

I bet he liked coming home to his neph-son.

mostly the first trip is where you get 100% of what you planned, and each additional trip is a trip of shame to admit that you were not perfect in planning. Each additional trip costs at least 30 minutes in time plus almost 20$ in replacement parts for what you broke on round 1. Therefore the despot is that each additional trip is probably filled with cussing and feeling that I am paying 1 hour of my time plus the cost of the parts for a job that was too expensive in the first place.

The condensate pump matters. Also the condensate line is normally flex tubing that can be prone to kinking. I suggest either being OCD about the flex tubing not kinking, or getting rigid PVC, or getting a “bigger” condensate pump. (I got a little orange box and it had no end of issues until i ripped off the drywall and found the kinks and said screw it, lets straighten this out and get a bigger pump and never have to worry about leaking condensate again!!!). Also having the condensate drain into your mechanical room is pretty awesome futureproofing.

I am going to go in depth on how i have researched out HVAC for my residential house:

there are like 5 systems that are often used in combination or on their own:

• fans (recirculate within a room or can be in the top of a house window to make negative pressure, so every open window has a breeze) (most houses have vent fans to make negative pressure in the microwave or the bathroom, but newer houses are not generally made to handle negative pressure well)
• swamp coolers (water + surface area and fans) (these are the cheapest way to cool a house, but you have to vent the humid air out, so it will only get “so cold”) (these can use the centralized air ducts or be a portable room unit) In my opinion, every dull man in this club needs to have a portable unit blowing on you in the summer while working in the garage because cool humid air flow feels like it makes me twice as productive to the alternative (sweating and trying to make decisions while heat exhausted)
• electric room heaters (these can be centralized via baseboard/wall heaters or as a portable room unit). I think every person in this dull men’s club should have one incase your primary heating system goes down or your damn bathroom doesn’t heat as fast as you like while you are showering in the winter. It is faster and cheaper to heat air with a portable room unit that to heat air with leaving the hot shower on for longer.
• heating oil and a boiler and pump system (you will see a lot of radiators in old houses that have this) There are some portable room units that use electricity for the heat.
• central air conditioning (heat pump and small pipes give cold to the central unit, and propane or electric give heat to the central unit) this is the most common in many places in the USA. It recirculates air, and any fumes (e.g. burned food or poo arisol or bleach fumes) have to be vented outside via a window or other (or in my house, breathed and filtered out using my own lungs). OP’s installation of a 96.5% efficient furnace probably has two plastic “burn” related pipes that both supply fresh air to burn and vents out the low temp but high humidity exhaust. Note that the exhaust MUST HAVE A SLOPE BACK TO THE FURNACE or the exhaust will condensate a blockage in a water belly in the exhaust pipe.
• a minisplit system (heatpump outside with two small pipes to a couple heads that are each controlled by that room’s remote) It can both heat and cool.
• heat/environment recovery vents (HRV or ERV) - these have 4 ducts: a external supply/intake, an external return/exhaust, an internal supply/intake, and an internal return/exhaust. They have a small radiator and fans inside to push the air through the radiator. It doesn’t take much electricity and can run all winter/summer without taxing your electricity much. If you add a heavy filter (e.g. HEPA filter) on the external supply/intake, then your allergies will go down and you will have pretty dang fresh air no matter what is going on.

I personally believe that the ideal house will have 3 HVAC systems built into it:

• minisplit (heads in each room and a unit outside).
• HRV or ERV depending on your region (makes the air fresh and eliminates the need to ever have the bathroom fan on or fuss with the microwave recirculating the air because of crappy installations, and any drying of clothes in a dryer will not have the dust in the house go up.) (this also will keep the air clean if you have a HEPA filter, so any nuclear fallout, wildfire smoke, or pollen wont bother you)
• a swamp cooler (largely unused unless the power went out in the summer and you are running on a generator) (if a karen buys your house from you later, you could easily replace the unit with a central air unit without having to tear out your walls and run new duct work. You could have them run a few copper lines with the “armor” insulation around them so that any future HVAC tech would be able to simply hook it up. Shrug. I am daydreaming about a house built from scratch with me micromanaging its creation.

from a dull men’s club perspective, my ideal house would have a ton of ducts, so i would suggest having “trusses with trunkline holes” designed into them before building any floors. I am currently retrofitting my attic to have a flat truss so the flex ducting can run under my catwalk and be fully insulated without any chance of pinching. Also, sidenote, there is such a thing as “vibration isolators” which are basically rubber or mount-spring-mount devices to put under the feet of a appliance that makes vibration. I strongly suggest spending the 12 bucks to put it under your washer, dryer, and outside AC pumps. You can cut a couple 2x4 scraps to make sure that the proper “spacing” for the washer and dryer are maintained while you tip and put the feet under.

im sleepy. thank you for coming to my ted talk

Hi floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I hope you are having a great day! I probably overanswered below, but I think the context is helpful and not fully a “debate”. I can remove this if you think I am trying to be “debating” or “combative”.

I think this post is talking about the epicurian paradox: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicurean_paradox

I did not say that the only purpose is to “test us”, I was stating that “development of human intelligence” was one of the key reasons for the plan to have evil available in this life. When I looked at that picture, I felt like it left out the possibility of “development of children of god” as a possible reason in that flow chart.

The other feedback loops of

• “could it be done without” > “yes” > “then why didn’t he” Mormons have a good why below or
• “could it be done without” > “no” > “then he is not omnipotent”

These seem like they might be true as sound bytes, but I think they are wrong about the scope of the plan: To have God’s kids become Gods.

Mormons believe that God had innumerable children before the universe existed. The children had only spirit bodies and God was the only one with a spirit and physical body. God wanted them to become more like him. He presented a plan that would include a time of “probation” (aka life on earth) where we would (1) have no memory of before (2) have choice between good and evil just like God has and (3) do the steps to gain a physical body. This life has all of these. (NOTE: most people who profess to be christian try to say that these beliefs mean that mormons are not christian. When i read Romans 8:17, I see that this is exactly what was taught by Jesus Christ and his followers.)

Mormons also believe that the evil came from one of God’s children (Lucifer) offering a different plan where (1) there would be no choice and (2) all of God’s children would be choosing “Good” and (3) all would be gaining a physical body. Lucifer and those he convinced were cast out of heaven and act as “Satan and his angels”, and they never got physical bodies.

In conclusion: if God is trying to make his children joint heirs with christ (aka Gods) then including in the scope of the plan a choice of evil seems like something that he couldn’t take out of the plan without losing the point of the whole thing.
