No this is a filter. It is the same reason why the wife of nelson mandela has millions to give. Any interaction after initial spam cost time and hence if there is no return it is lost opportunity. Best victims are the ones which are not aware that there is a scam at all. Overseeing bad spelling correlates with inability to read carefully which correlates with being with bad intelligence. So people answering very bad spam are in fact more likely very good victims.

Well you get things louder but you sacrifice dynamic range for it. If you do not normalise it.
No overtreatment is an concern. Just because you detect potential cancer earlier, does not mean that your life will be prolonged.
To be honest all this skin cancer detection stuff is kind of non-proven to be effective. Problem with this is that it leads to overtreatment and a non-measurable prolonging of life-time.

There was so much important stuff which in the past which is quite subtle. Recently I learned that the scythe was mainly used in Europe (and later America). Giving European farmer of the middle age and before a little productivity advantage. https://youtu.be/9Im_8sI0QFQ

So North Korea getting nuclear weapons is a big deal and using every text book measure to prevent Iran from building these things is quite an effort. But providing the whole world with material which can be used to build these damn things is not a problem?

Also there is big security problems all around the world due to terrorist. So how do we manage security with this small scale things?

Re:Ultra Safe Nuclear on Thursday September 17, 2020 @04:57PM (#24509864)
Where there is forest there is rain. Where there is rain there are clouds. Where there are clouds there is less sun. Any large scale Oil replacing energy production with solar will be more efficient in places where there is no forest or crop production. Hence the threat for the forest due to solar is not that high. Also where human settle there is no forest afterwards but there are roofs, where they can put PV on. By the way there is a dicusion to make that mandatory.

Obviously for pee it is the same. Does not mean you have to do it everywhere. I would not get in an airplane without a diaper. And obviously western nursery does not work without it either.

About accidents: And then what is more unhygienic?

Feces, urine on the floor or feces, urine all around your bottom? For the first you can use almost any cleaning liquid you want, for the second even to much soap is not good.

Lol, your baby tells you that it must go and you hold it over toilet. And yes I raised two child like that.

Yes children dribble. Elimination communication helps you to not let that happen inside.

So why is this not a problem to the Chinese but you make sound like one?

Re:Freiburg: Germany's futuristic city set in a forest on Sunday September 13, 2020 @04:51AM (#24459448)
Go diaper-less, it is easy and clean. I know it is hard to imagine for the western mind. But most human ever lived, have never seen a diaper.

There are lot of wrong with diapers e.g. rash etc.

Google split-pants, elimination communication!

Are you Procter and Gamble??

The argument for and against reusable is pretty much undecided. There also services which do the washing for you. And they are probably way more efficient than people washing at home in terms of energy used.

Anyhow, real eco-parents go diaper-less as most parents in the world. Google split-pants, elimination communication! Compared to this letting children sitting in their own feces in reusable or not-reusable nappies is pretty unhygienic.

Downvotes? I know it is a big leap for the western mind, that most human ever lived have never seen a nappy. There is a lot of problems with diapers e.g. rash etc.

Fun fact: There is a new series which places it's stories in Freiburg: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9849210/

This resembles student life in that city quite good except the fucking housing market. Where it is really a pain to find an affordable shared flat.
