Drywall. Heavy, fragile, 2 out of 3 dimensions are relatively large. Easy to transport when you’re stacking them in a truck but difficult up the stairs for example.

Bubble wrap. Cheap-ish per m³ if taking up space is more important but Easy to carry a roll of that around alone.

I repair industrial machinery where it is worth it.

Phonecall and description of the problem: 15 minutes.

Guessing what parts may be broken and seeing if we have them in stock. Loading them into the car with my tools: 30 minutes.

Driving there, costs about 3€ per 10km where I live. Plus my time.

Disassembling and diagnose: minimum 15 minutes.

Replacing the part: best case 15 minutes.

Reassembly and test: best case 15 minutes.

Clean up the mess I made and get all my stuff can in the car: 15 minutes.

Drive back.

Fill in the time card, list replacement parts on invoice and send it: 15 minutes.

You’re looking at two hours plus driving for a job where everything goes right, and then spare parts on top of that.

If you’re doing it yourself you have to add an hour of watching YouTube on how to do it. Ordering the spare part, paying shipping which probably costs as much as the part itself. The job itself probably takes twice as long because it’s the first time you do it. You had to buy a special tool too because you did not have a torque wrench for T20. You maybe ordered the wrong part and have to get another.

At the end of the process you have a thing with all parts but one worn from a few years of use. Who knows what is next to break.

Or you could buy a new one for $500 and not have to worry for a year or two while it’s under warranty.

Rap, I don’t like it.

Could try to make something funny of it instead.

“I lost count after 65”

Leibnitz formula for example:

1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 +1/9 - … = π/4

The more terms you bother with the more accurate you’ll get.

Do you want a quick and easy solution that could never work but would fit in a reply on Lemmy?

They knew about boiling water for salt since the Bronze age at least.

Salt price was largely determined by transport cost and it was just not worth the effort to gather the firewood instead of trading for it in many places.

You live every day. You only die once though.

I was smarter.

That did not prevent me from being foolish like all kids are.

Generally frowned upon to invade countries.

Ludicrously costly. Your tax payers will want to know why it’s more important than everything else you do with their money.

Immense suffering. Mostly by the people you’re trying to liberate but also your own troops and their families.

They have nukes and could probably blow up at least a few regional cities. If the regime is threatened they will most likely use them.

South Korea or China or Russia are the only countries with land borders. China and Russia find NK useful to have arround to annoy US. Seoul is within artillerty range of the border.

Building up a new state in it’s place is very difficult. Remember how the Taliban took back power about 15 minutes after the US left Afghanistan?

It does not sound like a happy bunch to hang around. Is that what you aspire to have as a part of your identity?

Possibly. But there is a good reason that is not the way swimming is taught and I’d not jump in the deep end based on book knowledge.

That being said read, then practice, then read, then practice loop is a very quick way for me to learn.

You’re in a situation where you have to cut spending and raise taxes while the left promises to not cut spending and the right promises to not raise taxes. It’s an issue the last handful of administrations have not been able to deal with…

It’s going to be painful. Hopefully not a drawn out depression like the 1930s.

Speed up by far. All the focus will be on producing enough stuff to replace whatever the enemy blows up. Any invention in the renewable department will only come as a result of having used all available fuel already.

The world population still increased during the previous world wars so unless we have a major nuclear exchange that probably won’t change. If we do have a major nuclear war global warming is suddenly not a big deal anyway.

If you live in an open and transparent society: there will be an investigation and there is a high chance they will find out. You’ll be expected to take care of the mess with disaster relief for the survivors. Also about 40% of the people did vote for you. Also even the ones who did not vote for you still pays tax.

If you live in a dictatorship: police brutality is cheaper and is a bit more selective in it’s targeting.

You have to pay a highly educated individual to spend hours finding any weakness to hack anything.

If you hack a big organization you’ll get more then a few dollars from a bank account. They also have a lot more things that could be vulnerable to hacking.

They have replaced phone, camera, music player for me.

I still have a computer and laptop at home and at work. They will not be replaced because good luck trying to write code on a phone or tablet.

Probably, but in most places the government can force buy the land. If you chop up a property in the middle of a big city and do this they may find the public interest outweighs your property rights. Or if you live in an authoritarian state.

Incentives: you find a girlfriend the app lose a customer. They are not optimized for you finding a girlfriend.

Gender imbalance: there are about 3* guys for every girl. There is very little leftovers for you as an average guy. *Very crude counting from me 5 years ago.

Sure you may find one and it’s relatively low effort. Don’t get your hopes up.

Funny anecdote: I’ve had more luck getting dates from World of Warcraft.

You should be paid because you’re basically campaigning for the republicans.You don’t drive away any core republican voter, they would never vote D. You drive away the ones who voted democrat last election.
