    Not the case.

    Use to do a lot of sport had knee surgery at 21. As mentioned probably didn’t eat enough, done a lot of on, off stop start stuff. Travelled the world. Switched activities. Was never overweight.

    While I could have done more to improve my knees some people are just born with better knees than others and I’ve come to accept that. I don’t have issues with my back or shoulders or neck or hands. I know people my age that do. It’s just how it goes.


  • Fucking hell this is true.

    So is the two day hangovers, you just don’t get better. You wake up with a hangover where you think if I eat and nap it will be gone. 10pm rolls around and you feel exactly the same as you did at 10am. Then you feel tired and run down on the second day. People tell me it gets even worse and I believe them now. Can’t drink hazy IPA without living to regret it, but I do that all the time.

    I have never been overweight and largely been in shape but on and off. Now I feel it so bad getting back into it. It isn’t about pushing yourself as hard as you can without pulling a muscle. It is about carefully listening to your body and when your joints start feeling weird it’s time to stop.

    Don’t fuck about with your knees people. Wish I didn’t jump off shit as a kid, also wish I ate more for recovery.

    Where the fuck is my stem cell injections we were promised 10 years ago!

    From an economic perspective it’s largely the same.

    Research and development is important for long term growth that’s why governments do their best to financially encourage it.

    But this is Lemmy. Might as well be talking to a spam sandwich when it comes to economics.

    How much was paid with employee income tax? How much was paid with VAT?

    How much did immigrants take out of the system?

    This is the most biased one sided comparison.

    It’s strange how in the when businesses employee people and that wage gets taxed that’s 100% on the employee. But when a business sells a product and it gets taxed that’s 100% on the customer.





  • Especially in Europe there is a big question of winter energy demand not meeting supply from solar. That causes issues that wind doesn’t fully solve.

    So I get that hydrogen could be an option to balance the grid over yearly time periods. Although I think batteries still look better.

    But so much of hydrogen just seems like a scam

    It added that all necessary equipment could soon be housed on a platform directly on an offshore wind turbine

    Like why would you even do that? I don’t get it. It must go from kinetic energy to electrical then to the hydrogen plant surely. Why wouldn’t you send that electricity back to shore?




  • Humans can drive with just vision.

    Tesla is doing it the hard way. Their model involves cars just having vision and driving the same as humans do. Humans can do it, why can’t computers? Seeing as they have more cameras than 2. In theory they should be better than human drivers. Once it is solved they could instantly drive anywhere humans can.

    Waymo has taken an easier route and they have used a lot of detailed mapping with also an assortment of additional sensors. Waymo doing it the easy way has only recently achieved this. Turns out it’s really hard. Harder than everyone including the experts expected probably.

    But with advances in computing and things like LLM’s Tesla is catching up. Who knows how long that will take though? I always thought waymo was doing the right thing so I’m biased.

    Edit: this fucking website I swear. I answered the question and got downvoted for it. What more you people want from me?
