Go join your son if it’s that important.
As some have already mentioned - coriolis forces. But why not build bigger so coriolis forces aren’t an issue? Because spinning up anything of sufficient diameter to even come close to 1G would need some kind of unobtainium to be strong enough to keep the spinning object intact. Say 5 tons of mass at 0 G is just mass, but now accelerate it and you need to figure out how to support 5 tons.
1 rpm for 1 G is going to need almost 1km radius. 2 rpm is ~400m.
You can see that the numbers, size, and engineering get pretty ridiculous to keep people from being sick when spun.
Corporations have no loyalty except to their own interests and the shareholders.
They don’t care who gets the oil. If the oil is produced by the US, Saudi Arabia, or Norway, none of those countries get any special access to oil produced by companies based there. The oil gets sold at global market price based on market forces, so if your oil can be purchased at a higher price by being exported, it’s going away. Your local prices go up for fuels or LNG even if you produce a ton of it yourself.
Because that’s the market we’ve established. Corpos don’t care, they’re making billions.
When I was a kid our car had only lap belts, and even those were optional. In the early ‘70s they had the attitude of building street tanks and that mass = safety. Doesn’t matter that the humans inside got tossed around like a hackey sack or to get an aortic dissection when hitting the steering wheel. It wasn’t until the last year of the ‘60’s that a collapsible steering column started being more common. By the late ‘70s they were starting to engineer for actual safety of the occupant. It wasn’t great at all by today’s standards, things like airbags didn’t really show up until the ‘80s, much less all the side curtain ones that are more common today.
Anyway, a modern vehicle is way better safety-wise, the debate would have to be about the speed of collision and the mass of the old car. Even though modern cars are safer, g-forces can be severe and no telling how the old car would crumple.
- I’m proud of having no life to be a company stooge, and I’ll expect everyone else to surrender their soul to the grind.
The distinction you’re trying to make is stealing luxuries vs stealing necessities. Sure, we could argue basically “fuck megacorps” and that’s debatable to steal whatever, but this is about us.
If someone’s stealing the basic necessities like food, nobody saw shit.
If you’re stealing a TV, that just makes you a thief.
I tried this. The hotels attached the room and date on the lost item, so unless you’ve got those they aren’t going to give you anything if you can’t match them. Maybe some others don’t, so worth a try anyway?
Out of curiosity, what did this person say in particular that attracted attention vs the thousands of others criticizing ICE?
Looks like the Zeppelintribüne thing the soldiers blew up in WW2 Germany.
I think there‘s a bunch of different groups. There‘s Gen X that got taught not to share their personal info, the current generation is growing up being taught this as well, a lot of all gens gave sites everything because clueless or indifferent, and then the groups that deliberately shared info trying for internet fame.
There‘s plenty of Gen X that are clueless about privacy and computers.
Knowledge about avoiding tracking, obfuscating your identity, blocking ads, etc. requires constant effort ad knowledge. We‘re on lemmy, and that‘s a bit of an echo chamber because people here as a whole tend to be more knowledgeable about computers, and people here seem to forget that like 90% of the population are clueless about them.

Proper tradie with those. Just missing the reflective bands.
