I’m telling you, don’t mess around with magical tricksters. If you can’t pay OP back, he’ll probably take your soul, your first born child, your name, or some other demonic shit like that. Don’t make a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, he will find a way to collect!
I just try to avoid deals with magical beings of any kind. It never ends well. Thank you, but I’m more than capable of saving for retirement slowly with a regular retirement account. I don’t care what the consequences may or may not be. I don’t fuck around with magic.
I refuse to accept it. I don’t make deals with magical tricksters. Same reason I don’t fuck around with genies. It’s just not worth it man.

There are fossilized humans. Fossilization really doesn’t take that much time, geologically speaking; it just requires very specific conditions.
Or who’s to say that “Nicole” even exists?

It can be done and has been researched. See Project Plowshare.
People who say we can’t build fusion reactors are only partially correct. (And no, I do not mean that we can build tokamaks that are net energy negative.) We can build energy-positive fusion reactors, and we’ve known how to do so since the 1950s.
The idea was that you would build an enormous underground chamber. Then fill it with salt. Then detonate a small hydrogen bomb inside the chamber, instantly boiling the salt. You then run the salt through turbines to generate electricity. You power a city by setting off a nuke every one and awhile.
The results of this work were that yes, it seems possible to build a power plant that runs off of hydrogen bombs. We do in fact know how to build a fusion reactor today. The problem? Simple economics. This method just isn’t cost-competitive with traditional electricity sources.
This should serve as a cautionary tale for those hopeful for the future of fusion or advanced fission concepts. It doesn’t matter if you manage to build a tokamak that returns net energy. Ultimately it’s just a cool science experiment. What DOES matter is if you can do it cheaply. And this is actually why I’m skeptical of fusion as a power source. Even if we do ever manage to make non-bomb fusion plants produce net energy, they would struggle to be cost competitive with renewables+batteries.
Well I meant more the “parts I like and don’t like.” But I suppose building a big-ass wooden boat would be fun.
I practice both a radical form of progressive Christianity and agnosticism.

Technically when I walked in to the exam room!
Yeah it just makes sense. Everything has a little bit of consciousness in it, even subatomic particles would have a non-zero amount. But the consciousness of these particles then combine in complex and nonlinear ways. Something like, IDK, the combined consciousness of a collection of particles is proportional to their individual level taken to the n power, where n is equal to the number of particle interactions. Totally guessing on the actual math, but it would be something complex and nonlinear like that. If you could quantify consciousness, and humans had a measure of 1 consciousness unit, then the consciousness of an electron would be something like 1/Googolplex consciousness units. Something insane like that. Technically nonzero, but so small as to make an amoeba look like a intellectual giant.
I’m partial to pan-psychism. Consciousness is a property of matter.
Or, you can be, Abserd!
