You dont need permission to comment on something as far as Im concerned. + Only having opinions that match your own is not good a thing (its called a filter bubble).
Its appealing for people that want driving to be more engaging in contrast to people that want it to be less engaging and more layed back (like you do).
For me, driving a manual feels more rewarding/tactile, like typing on a mechanical keyboard instead of a touchscreen.
(And manual cars are usually cheaper to buy and, more importantly, maintain here in Europe)
If its at an angle, yes. But i presume this was on flat terrain. BTW, 1st gear is only if its in danger of rolling backwards. If its in danger of rolling forwards, park in reverse gear.
I live in a large European city where the subway and bike are usually quicker than driving. My commute is 0.8 miles so it wouldnt be worth driving there.
I dont drive often, so when I do, I want to enjoy the ride as much as possible. I’ve also never found it to be exausting (though the longest I’ve driven was 2h and when I’m on the highway I dont have to switch gears anyway so there’s that)…
Because for science calculations, the Kelvin scale makes the most sense and Celcius is the Kelvin scale shifted up to make it useful for our daily use.
Then what would be, according to you, the difference between a country with a democratic systen of government and a country with a “capitalist” system of government? Assuming both use capitalism as their economic system.
The “free” market doesn’t innovate, at the very best it creates redundancy.
Competition drives innovation. And capitalism has the most competition. This is not to say that socialism and capitalism are mutually exclusive though. The US, for example, is too capitalist for my liking but the free market there certainly does innovate.
A “social market economy” like Germany has it is pretty spot on IMO.
Persons with larger amounts of money having an influence on the government seems more like a problem with democracy rather than an issue with capitalism.
If we had, in theory, a direct democracy (aka we vote for every decision) then a (regulated) capitalist market seems good to me…
Right, but disproportionate wealth can always be used to influence populations, in any system. Is the solition really to eliminate disproportional wealth completely?
What exactly do you mean by “capitalist class”? Is that only the people that dont work at all?
And why cant those capitalists and the “working class” BOTH have power over the government? Disregarding lobbying for a moment, how does each member of the “capitalist class” have any more influence on the government than each member of the “working class”?
The Soviet Union led the space race, the Soviet Union made many innovations without the need for competition
They were very much competing (against the USA) in the space race, why else would it be called a “race”? There may be no proof for my statement about competition driving innovation but would you just innovate for the sake of innovating without any rewards? I would not…
Also, I do notice that monopolies tend to be less innovative than multiple competing businesses in a market.
2.Agreed but if something is completely redundanty it will die out in a capitalist market and more importantly, what would be the incentive to innovate at all if we had one monopoly?
Completely agee on this one and I do think there should be regulations regarding the market (not like in the USA for example).
high amount of homeless people.
Because it doesnt work like its supposed to, but from a theoretical point of view, they all have the right to food and shelter and everything they need to keep their dignity…
if those who control the government belong to the capitalist class then […]
regulatory protections […] may be removed through the direct influence of amazon or some other large corporation
This I dont understand because if everybody votes, the government represent the interests of the whole population (still disregarding lobbying), doesnt it? And if lobbying were the issue, we could just ban it…
This wouldnt work because if quantums are grouped together they lose their quantum properties. Thus a duck in a superposition can unfortunately not exist :)
There is no definite proof, there is also no definite proof that a quantum can even be in a superposition at all (in the sense od being in two states at once) becuae we cannot observe it. Physicist Niels Bohr for example believes that the outcome is already set long before we observe it.

Lemmy is developed, run and largely used by open source enthusiasts; FreeCAD is too. Thus I dont find it particularly surprising that open source communities (such as FreeCAD’s) were quick to open a Lemmy community.
I think he is referring to the seperators after the decimal point, eg. the comma in “0.000,000,1”. I have also never seen this. Although you rarely deal with such small numbers outside of math, where I’d usually write it in scientific notation or as a fraction (like 1/10,000,000).
