I think the statement “this system is consistent” is a practical statement that is unprovable in a sufficiently powerful consistent system.

Can you help me understand the tone of your text? To me it sounds kinda hostile as if what you said is some kind of gotcha.

It’s very counter intuitive. As the other commenter suggested I was referring to Gödel and his incompleteness theorem.

Actually if the system you made up doesn’t work it would be possible to prove that it does inside that system as you can prove anything inside a system that doesn’t work.

That is why my comment is not entirely accurate it should actually be: Until you prove that if the system works you can’t prove that the system works.

Can you spot the difference in the logic here?

I like it sometimes. The temporary pain is stress relieving for me. It’s not about the flavor anymore then.

Having done extreme spice multiple times you start to taste the flavors again btw.

Also if it’s not your thing why would you want to love them? I don’t think anyone should need to justify not liking some food.

Until you prove that you can’t prove that the system you made up works.

I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.

For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.

Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).

If you only think about half live then yes it would be radioactive forever but in reality after a long time every atom would’ve decayed into non radioactive elements.

You can even calculate the expected time it would take for the random process of decay to terminate.

Complex topic. It would depend on the bomb in question. Some are more “dirty” than others.

Welcome to the world of B2B where 98% of products are listed nowhere and of those products you get a listing the price is either hidden or not the price anyone really pays.

Source on that? As far as I know China stopped importing plastic waste as they realized it was too expensive for the state as they are burdened with the externalities, i.e. cleanup.

I think you got wooshed

I mean I wasn’t really serious as we are in a shit post community right now.

But do you realize how fucking hard it is to keep US politics out of your experience here? So many seemingly unrelated communities post election bullshit it’s not even funny :/

I do think that the next presidential US election is important not only for Americans but the world. Although it really is tiring to watch from over here and I can only imagine how tired most Americans must be…

I would love not knowing about any debate but lemmy is like: Nope you’ll read American “news” if you want to or not.

So next time keep your national humiliation fetish private please

Don’t discriminate against them milkers!

This is waterfall method propaganda! It never works out this smoothly. They probably forgot important requirements like: the astronauts need to be alive on Mars.

Treating it like being sick (like a cold) helps me. That way I justify taking it slow. It’s something that will pass and it’s totally normal to feel really bad. It will probably be better soon but I need a lot of rest/self-care.

We are the Pinnacle of creation! Nothing can be better than us by definition! Even the thought that a mere complex computer can be a person is heresy and absurd and can only be answered by ridicule and mockery. /s

Unfortunately a lot of professional philosophers think a bit like the above :(

I’ve not studied this but I see a solution in contracting other businesses to do the labor required. Something like a collectively owned customer service business.

Well shit I’ve one for professional work and one for open source / bad code practice experiments… Am I in trouble?!
