Maybe im still too fresh off of reddit, but the linked mod's definition of brigading and vote manipulation seem pretty tortured...
Brigading logically implies a brigade... like a concerted effort by many people, usually coming over from the same place. To mass manipulate the content of another place.
And on reddit, 'vote manipulation' referred to using bots/ multiple accounts to downvote others while upvoting oneself. See the whole unidan thing.
I know plenty of people who are by no means rich who live on boats that size. Its basically the marine equivalent of living in a camper.
My best friend lived on one for more than a decade. he got for like $3k and put like $9k of work into it. Had his first kid living on that boat because he couldn't afford to live on land.
Maybe its outdated. Worked really well in the 00s. Also though, I live in a seasonal town. So like 75% of houses were empty during the fall and winter, and wed do it then.
From what I understand, they've been using the 'normal' system for most legal things since the 60s, and that was just how they socially talked about age, until it was abandoned in 2023.
The old system also added a year on New years, not on your birthday. Meaning a baby born 2 days ago would be 2 years old if they were born on December 31. Apparently, laws do still keep that standard for some age based regulations, like school, drinking age, voting age, and draft. Which kind of makes sense; everyone born in X year gains those things at the same time. A less arbitrary cut off date for schools, no awkward math whe checking IDs, just born in '04, you're good.'
Still seems confusing having 3 ages in different contexts though.
Plants absorb that nuclear energy and whether we eat them, or eat animals that ate them, that is still energy from a nuclear source.
Some of those plants ended up rotting for millenia underground, and we dig that up, now in the form of coal, oil or natural gasses- then burn it...thats still just nuclear power.
Even the wind is nuclear power, as is its mostly caused by the uneven heating of the air by the sun, as the earth rotates, leading to the creation of higher and lower pressure areas.
The podcast (which was about solar energy- i work for a solar panel company, thats why it was on in the work van, lol) went on to say that logically, nuclear, solar, to an extent wind are therefore the best ways to 'generate/ harvest' power- everything else is just laundering nuclear energy through an inefficient, and usually destructive battery.
Funny enough, the first time I heard someone use ___porn IRL (outside of all the 90s surf/skate/ski videos i Grew up with which were always called a porn)
was a chef I used to work for, back in 2001-2, l woman in her 50s at the time. Who would refer to 'food porn all the time.'
'OH we need a new salad for the spring menu- "go look at that stack of food porn (industry magazines and Michelin restaurant cookbooks) for inspiration"
Or "make me one of the swordfish special, but do it up for some food porn"
I guess its one of those terms that I dont really think of as dirty, or professional inappropriate anymore.
All the 'bad' forks (Mostly ones that followed me home from the dining hall back in college) are banished to a cup in my house. They get used for not quite food tasks, like mashing up the cat's food.
