A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.
The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

Weren't Britain's best days like 100 years ago?
Anti-space/science rhetoric on the left.
A lot of it comes from people who are anti-Elon and are against everything he touches. So they become anti SpaceX. Then they become anti-aerospace.
They don't understand, or even want to understand, the science and importance behind it's advances. The thought process just goes Musk Bad>SpaceX Bad>Aerospace Bad.
Remember how in Interstellar, there's that teacher who was casually teaching that the moon landings were fake? Like, society had reached a point where they cared so little for space, that they actively turned a blind eye towards its accomplishments or just straight up dismissed them? I feel like that's the path we're on. Because of people's blind hatred towards a rich douche, an entire EXTREMELY IMPORTANT industry is becoming reviled through sheer ignorance.
What do you mean "put away"?
They're already in the clean clothes pile, where else would they go?
Downvotes on Lemmy don’t mean anything
Does it not affect where the posts show up when sorting by Active or Top?
Thermal Camera.
They're just so cool. Super useful for checking the effectiveness of stuff like insulation or heat sinks, and can be used to find hot spots you didn't know existed.
I just have trouble justifying dropping $300 on something I would only get maybe an hour max of usefulness from before it sits in a box for years.
2 months later and there's still not a satisfying answer. I would have hoped 1 or 2 apps would have risen to the top by now, but it's still just a scattershot of people suggesting like 8-10 different ones. There's no consensus.
I don't want to download an app and get all set up only for development on it to suddenly halt. Then I'd either have to switch again, or be stuck with one that's forever missing features.
Too many new apps popped up in too short of time. Some of them are bound to fail or be abandoned. Some of them are likely to have been hacked together by amateurs and contain gaping security or functionality flaws.
Does anyone have a suggestion with more substance than "I like this app because it's the one I downloaded"?
“Psychology worthless because brain is a computer”
See this? This right here? This is you attacking the choice of metaphor rather than the content.
Nothing good is going to come after an opener like that.
Yea, and nothing good will come from a shitty meme attacking a choice of metaphor rather than it's content. Which is what you did to start. What a great picture you posted, is that supposed to represent the strawman you built rather than form any actual argument other than "no you're wrong"?
The only real money in psychology is from marketing and advertising.
It's a metaphor, my god. You want a less technical version? Neurology is like a farmer analyzing his soil to figure out it's pH and NPK content to determine what crops will go best. Psychology is studying decades worth of Farmers Almanacs. The point is, only one deals with hard, definitive numbers.
I will grant that my view is a matter of opinion, but it is my firm belief that any science that can not answer it's own questions with solid, irrefutable, numerical answers is an undeveloped science.
You may take that as an insult, in which case 1. It's not meant as one, and 2. Get over yourself. It's an observation. I'm not saying these fields aren't important and won't eventually develop far enough to have such answers, but as they are, right now, they are filled with deficiencies.
Because there are no hard, irrefutable, numerical answers, these fields inherently invite biased studies with conclusions searching for evidence rather than the other way around. And while this may not be the norm, it absolutely exists and can be used to justify anything. Then other studies cite that study which cites that study, and on and on. And since it can't just be disproven with an equation, its much harder to refute and correct.
It's educated guesses. Maybe some day they won't be guesses, just like we don't guess that 1+1=2 or that oxygen and hydrogen can combine to make water; but for right now, they're guesses. And no amount of saying that's offensive to those who study it will change that.
If we weren't talking about a brain, but instead a piece of computer software, neuroscience would be digging into the source code to figure out how it works. Meanwhile psychology is like watching a bunch of YouTube videos of people demonstrating the software.
One provides answers. The other provides guesses.
The biggest lesson from neuroscience: Most psychology is BS and the entire field is little better than pseudoscience.
Which side allows it to be discussed?
There's your answer.
So that's why China allows open conversation about the incident right? If it's all just a big misunderstanding, they should be happy to allow their citizens to share the facts. Certainly they wouldn't take steps to ban all mention of the incident as if there was something terrible there they wanted to hide.
Fair trade really
I've been following this since it started. The Mt. Pleasant city council pulled a lot of shady shit to get this to happen. People tried protesting, but they were silenced. This is the conclusion to a 6 year con that anyone with half a brain could have seen coming. An LCD factory? No one uses LCD anymore, it's all LED. And you can't just swap out a few pieces of equipment to make the switch.
The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.
