I think the math checks out for this graph.
If a human on a bicycle consumes 0.15 calories per gram per kilometer, then a 100 kg person would be:
100000g x 0.15 calories = 15,000 calories = 15kcal
I’m guessing these numbers are for a racing bike on a flat stretch of smooth road where you don’t need to brake or accelerate.
Depending on how pedantic you want to be, that is for the United States release. The Famicom was released summer 1983 in Japan and the NES is generally considered the localized version for North America.
You’re a generation off: It’s more retro now than the NES (US release) was when the 360 came out. We crossed that threshold about a month ago.
My dude, how does any of that follow from what I said?
I’m saying we have to work together to enact the changes we want, and that requires being dependent on other people’s specializations. Banding together is literally the biggest strength of our species.
Fierce independence is how we got into this mess, and allows exploitation by organized power-hungry groups.
People need to cooperate in egalitarian collectives to achieve goals and resist exploitation.
Boss made a dollar
I made a dime
That was a poem
From a simpler time.
Now boss makes a thousand
And gives us a cent
While he’s got employees
Who can’t pay the rent.
When boss makes a million
And the workers make jack
That’s when we strike
And take our lives back.
“It’s like he’s threatenin’ me or somthin’.”
I guarantee there is one within the room you’re in while reading this. From my desk, I can see 9 ads. I’m counting brand logos as advertisements, because they are.
This is the greentext community, it’s literally what we’re here for.
Just because someone posted the greentext doesn’t mean they think it’s true or agree with it. Think of these like watching animals at the zoo.
Virtual Machine. You run a computer… on your computer.
How do they taste? I haven’t gotten to try one yet.
I have had Gros Michel bananas. They do not taste like banana candy, although weirdly they do smell like the candy much more strongly than the Cavendish.
The replacement for the Cavendish is already being sold commercially in Australia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldfinger_banana
The volume has increased exponentially. With generative AI, there are thousands of “news” sites with landing pages that look better than many real local news organizations.
These sites have agendas and are able to post the same story across the web, written differently each time, to look like events are taking place across the country/world and all being reported on by local news orgs. It’s all astroturf, as far as the eye can see.
This list from Wikipedia just barely scratches the surface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fake_news_websites
And this doesn’t even touch on the amount of bullshit real news orgs publish without proper investigation thanks to the 24 hour news cycle and the rush to be the first to cover a story.
Yeah, there used to be misinformation published by news organizations and people with agendas. But that used to take significant effort. Now, I can set up a fake news website and fill it with stories in an afternoon.
You are dividing the working class just like the billionaires want you to do. You are demanding that people make a sacrifice of tens of thousands of dollars to accomplish very little.
This is another fucking purity test that divides the left and makes us incapable of handling the existential threat that is the republican party.
People who bought cybertrucks? Yeah, fuck 'em. Elon’s right-wing bullshit was very public by the point the cybertruck was released. Those people aren’t with us anyway.
But you’re discounting over a million people in the US, who generally lean very left, who generally also have the finances to help support political action against this extraordinarily corrupt and dangerous right-wing regime.
Kill the snake, then we can go back to squabbling.
Also- The Gulf of Tonkin incident used as a pretext for the USA going into Vietnam was a fabrication.
To be clear, there had been a scuffle involving US ships on Aug 2nd, 1964 - but it was not a deliberate attack by the North Vietnamese.
The supposed attack on Aug 4th did not happen.
