@futurebird with any luck, our children’s children will look back on the late 20th, early 21st century noise background the same way we look back at Victorian coal-fired smog and horse-crap filled streets.Which reminds me that I should do something about the local street lanterns beaming most of their warm light up into space and over the bushes🙃@bruces

@futurebird do they stand out as much in your area as they do here in Austria?Do you get non-American Mormons? Here it’s always Americans, I guess it’s a way for them to see rest of the world?I usually talk to them when they approach me because they always look like lost puppies and they’re always polite but for some reason they seem confused with my atheist answers.Don’t they get any training before they‘re sent out? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@futurebird oh that’s a great idea. May I suggest a small change?Group the candidates in teams and have them build something specific. Maybe a small village with food supply, transport, work, and resources for the villagers and other players. At least I would be interested in seeing whether they manage to self organize and create something and how individual candidates apply themselves.

@futurebird yea, also how did the candidate treat teammembers and those from other teams.How did they cope with having to do something in a situation where they don’t know all the rules and have to manipulate a complex system.

@foone yeah, 39,6 years at 37 billion instructions per day should be plenty of time to do that until 2065 😁

@futurebird The only good way to wear jeans-pants and jeans-top of the same color is if you’re at a heavy metal concert wearing a sleeveless vest with band patches stitched on by hand.😆@mekkaokereke

@futurebird ah. I was wondering. 4 person apartment in Austria here, 335kWh electricity last month. Regular use, cooking and hot water (no municipal gas connection).16% from a local green energy collective (down from 25% in August).We have no PV yet as there‘s no good place for „balcony solar“ and negotiations between all the apartment owners about a large rooftop installation are still ongoing. Can’t easily tell the energy requirements for heating as we‘re on district heating. Very convenient, price isn‘t too bad but the way they measure and bill is Byzantine and seems inane ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

@futurebird it’s cumulative effect of the little jolts of joy you get when you can take a small part of the world and make it make sense. Similar to the „I just bought sufficient storage boxes and bookshelves at Ikea for everything“ high. See also the following meme that’s followed me through 25 years of tricking sand into counting shit:@rk

@Quantensalat Well, there's this publicationhttps://anguscroll.com/hemingway/sample/index.htmlwhich contains one of the Bard's shorter works. `The Series of Fibonacci` is a comedy in two acts, concluding with that namesake series of numbers.;)@SnoopJ @not2b @futurebird

@publicvoit wie die Atomkraftlobbyisten in den 1950ern versprochen haben:„Electricity too cheap to meter“😁

@foone IIRC there‘s some kind of Perl dialect that works like Latin grammar, so that particular version has the interesting property of not only summoning demons when you‘re doing it wrong but also summoning demons when you’re doing it right. @cstross

@publicvoit ich hab's woanders schon geschrieben, man kann von den armen wichtigen Männern in der Wirtschaftskammer nicht verlangen dass sie ihre Meinung ändern nur weil die Fakten zeigen dass sie falsch liegen.;)

@futurebird that sounds a lot like the proof that there’s no uninteresting number in ℤ.Let S be the subset S of ℤ containing all uninteresting numbers. If S is non-empty there would be a lowest number in S.That would make that number interesting and thus not part of S.This clearly shows that S must be empty, so there are no uninteresting numbers in ℤ.(If I remember correctly this proof works for any totally ordered set)(Also, I sincerely apologize to Professor Strauss if I mangled the proof somewhat after keeping it in memory for 28 years)
