That’s an INSANE cost.

I can take the sleeper train Amsterdam-Vienna for 115 euros one way, that’s 1100km by car. 130 euros will get me on a non-sleeper train to Budapest AND back. I tried my best to find a 180 euro train ticket, but couldn’t.

So, reason you hate the train is because the trains there suck.

costing a lot more than just driving myself.

Did you include the cost of buying and maintaining a car? Or is that just fuel costs?

Plenty of European cities were built walkable and with public transit because they were made before there were cars. And then we half-demolished them to make room for cars, and THEN/now we spent decades fixing the shit we broke to make room for cars.

True, but the nice thing about a public forum is that everyone who isn’t a scumbag can also read this excellent reply and learn something.

Yes, one of the rules is to never confuse Cyberpunk with Cybergoth. It’s mildly acceptable to conflate it with gravers (Goth Ravers), but not if you want to make friends.

We live in society. There are rules.

Nobody has more rules than hyper niche cliques. If your locks had foam, you were very clearly deeply wrong about the actual deep meaning of whatever we imagined ourselves to be about and you’re doing everything wrong.

You might be hard pressed to find any cybergoths in the wild, though looking at current fashion, maybe I should dig up some stuff.

Let’s not discard my Cybergoth phase. I had plenty of colours, as long as they were neon

But the pan is really just a hot place to put parchment paper, so who cares.

Husband hit stage 3 when he was 16, and is still there nearing 40.

According to Russia at least

Honestly, as long as we leave him up, I’m willing to settle for any body part.

Well, The Netherlands, so yeah, pretty much.

why does heating up two take exactly twice as long?

A microwave works by exciting the water molecules in an object. They start to vibrate from the microwave energy hitting it, and vibrating molecules is what heat is. The microwave energy mostly bounces around inside the metal microwave until it hits something that has water (which is why you should never turn it on empty), so it doesn’t really get wasted.

So, if you put twice as much stuff inside, it will take twice as much energy to heat it to the same temperature, so at the same setting it will take twice as much time.

If you want to get nitpicky, it will require very slightly over twice as long, because by needing more time to warm up, it will give off more energy to the air around it, so you need to compensate. But the question of “how much will my food cool down in 90 seconds compared to 45 seconds” should be answered by “shut up dude” and not with a number.

practically

Ahhh, art students trying to be practical.

Honestly it’s a nice feature.

I have a thing that takes 45 seconds to warm. I take two of them, type in 90 and it just works!

Of course that breaks down if I take four of them and type in 180, but meh. Worst case is that it’ll be a little cold.

Its counts down 90 seconds to 1:00 before rolling over to 0:59.

I love that someone made that feature.

“Look, people are morons, just let them enter up to 99 seconds”

A much better meme

And lets not forget, by buying it from NVIDIA, they enable higher profits, which generates money that NVIDIA can invest into OpenAI to buy more stuff from NVIDIA.

And also, if you’re going to soon have more stuff, you can take a loan on those assets that you will soon own to buy more assets that you will soon own!

That has to be a joke

replacing the functions of the system so it doesn’t matter if it collapses or not.

That’s what preppers do too. Providing their own food, water, shelter and security so that they’re not reliant on the system. Hosting your media is really just stockpiling entertainment, like someone else might stockpile food.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to do, and it might even be useful in some events.

Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it was enlightening as to how things are in reality. It’s enlightening as to your position. You’re literally repeating Russian propaganda talking points that couldn’t be further from the truth.

On the remote chance that you’re not doing that on purpose, you should stop reading RT, as all Russian media is state media from an authoritarian regime.
