One million seconds is 11.6 days

One billion seconds is 31.7 years

I always found it interesting that Rolls-Royce had to let vibrations and noise in the back of their cars. Moving in a car without identifiers really trips with the brain.

If the 300m people lived in the same area and you got a true random sample.

Sunsets at 9:09 today in Michigan

Sunsets at 8:04 today in California

Sunsets at 8:34 today in North Carolina

Sunsets at 7:57 today in Alabama

Sunsets at 7:38 today in Arizona (They are on standard time)

Sunsets at 7:13 today in Hawaii

Sunsets at 11:36 today in Alaska

Someone in Arizona might want the sun to set at 7:38. It’s blazing hot all day.

Someone in Michigan might be fine with sunsetting at 8:08 with standard time.

Someone in Alabama might not want the sun to set at 6:57.

Someone in Hawaii probably doesn’t want the sun to set at 6:13.

Even if you split up the 1000 people to equally represent all states, that’s only 20 people per state.

Ahh, yes, 1002 people is a large sample size, like .003% of the population.

Your article is also about switching. Doesn’t say anything about if people would prefer to stay on DST or standard time.

“Summer time” is DST

If you removed DST, we would always be on standard time.

What you are saying is make DST permanent, not removing DST

Why do you want the sun to set early?

I’d rather have an extra hour of sun after work than an hour of sun before work

I think most people enjoy DST. Most complain when it’s dark at 5 pm.

That’s the whole difference between torx vs Phillips.

Theoretically, you should never break a screw shaft with Phillips because they are designed to cam out before enough torque is applied to break the shaft of the screw.

It’s supposed to be a feature

So you’re okay with sending someone to a work camp if “they probably did it, more than likely”? Because at least it’s reversible…

So what if they have to spend 10 years breaking rocks in the sun. Oopsie daisies

That’s why death penalty shouldn’t exist for crimes like a wife killing a husband. You might be 99.9% sure she poisoned him, but you cannot know for sure.

However, a school shooter caught red handed shooting a school?

Some crimes and scenarios can warrant the death penalty in my mind

Next argument is “what if the government framed people to execute them?”

Why in the world would the government point out that they are executing someone?

If the government (the rich controlled government) wants you dead they would do it quietly.

Even something as simple as cutting your brake lines. You really think local police are going to figure out that the government had soldier 65478 tamper with your brake lines?

Sending someone to a work camp is more humane than taking their life?

Doesn’t even water filter it. 9/10

Good take

I wouldn’t even be against sharing some information so they could give me better ads

I’m not in the market for a new car. I don’t need car ads.

But knowing I shop at Something Hardware a lot and they are having a spring black friday sale on the tool I’ve been eyeing would be nice.

Even still Something Hardware just slapping their logo in an ad is not helpful at all.

If ads were helpful they wouldn’t be annoying

Ability to act on freewill

You ask Chat GPT a question it is going to answer it becomes that’s what it has been programed to do. Input question, output answer.

Now if Chat GPT could be like “Nah I’m not going to answer that because I don’t feel like it”

Yes “AI” can be programed to not answer certain things. E.g porn stuff. But it does not make the conscious choice to do so it is following programming.

Yeah the official term genocide was specifically crafted to avoid including Joseph Stalin. Sure.

Athiest Joseph Stalin performed mass killing of his own people

No Stalin was an athiest and he caused mass genocide.

Google says it could be 20+ million. Anyways, how many he killed isn’t the point.

He killed people because they were in opposition

Yeah he killed them for non-religious reasons. Religion didn’t play a part in the mass genocide.

Stalin wasn’t religious and actively tried to stamp out religion.

He killed what, 6+ million people?
