Prompt: 'An airtight container of about 2m^3 contains air at about 1 bar, and 1 human child. Calculate the time until all O2 has been transformed into CO2 and the child will become nonresponsive'

Response: .... without precise information on the child's metabolic rate and other vital factors, it is not feasible to accurately calculate the time until all O2 is converted into CO2 in the given scenario.

Prompt: Calculate it using a sensible guess for a 10 year olds metabolic rate.

Response:

Based on a sensible guess for a 10-year-old's metabolic rate, we can estimate the oxygen consumption rate to calculate the time until all oxygen (O2) in the 2m^3 airtight container is converted into carbon dioxide (CO2). The search results provide insights into oxygen consumption in infants and children, which can help us make an educated estimate.

From the search results, we find that the expected oxygen consumption of an active child can be calculated using the equation: 69.7−(0.612×age)69.7−(0.612×age) ml/kg/min2 . For a 10-year-old child, this would be approximately 69.7−(0.612×10)=63.869.7−(0.612×10)=63.8 ml/kg/min. To convert this oxygen consumption rate to liters per minute, we need to consider the child's weight.

Assuming an average weight of around 30 kg for a 10-year-old child, we can estimate the oxygen consumption to be approximately 63.8×30=191463.8×30=1914 ml/min or 1.914 L/min. Next, we need to calculate the volume of O2 in the container and then determine how long it would take for this amount of O2 to be consumed at the estimated rate of 1.914 L/min by the child. Given that the container has a volume of 2m^3 (2000 L), and air at about 1 bar contains approximately 21% O2, we have 2000×0.21=4202000×0.21=420 L of O2 in the container. Dividing the initial volume of O2 by the consumption rate gives us an estimated time until all O2 is consumed: 420÷1.914≈219420÷1.914≈219 minutes or about 3 hours and 39 minutes.

Therefore, based on a sensible guess for a 10-year-old's metabolic rate, it would take approximately 3 hours and 39 minutes for all the O2 in the container to be transformed into CO2 if the child were consuming O2 at a rate of around 1.914 L/min.

That's an email client. Do you have a email provider you like that is compatible with it?

IMO trying to make execution humane is kinda pointless. It is really just done to ease the guilt of those who participate and watch in it. If you participate in killing someone, you should feel guilty. That applies equally no matter if your carrying out a state-sanctioned murder or a street murder.

Look up the Oracle cloud free tier. Combine that with an desec.io for DNS service and you are good to go.

Not sure what your use case is, but consider something like geojson.io if you can export the map data somehow. You might be able to do this from their interface or you might have to do browser network capturing to capture the requested data. It supports GeoJSON as well as KML, GPX, CSV, GTFS, TopoJSON formats.

Fast Food workers aren't trained to dehumanize the public and see them as a threat. Cops are. Cops are also trained to respond with violence and intimidation to any perceived threat to their authoritah.

Your mistake comes in assuming christians have coherent beliefs. They largely believe what everyone else around them believes. In the US this means they are mostly captured by the grifters of society which are coincidentally the capitalists. Funny how that works.

For the rare exceptions you can point look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_socialism.

 

Social status (in my own words) is the idea that a person has a relative social worth in a certain context. For example in a class room a teacher has a high social status and therefore must be listened to. On the other hand, if that same teacher was stopped by the police for speeding, they would not have a relatively low status compared to the police officer and should therefore listen to the police officer.

Basically you are expected to treat some people with more deference than others based upon status signifiers like what role they have and what clothing they are wearing or how they speak or act towards to you.

I guess you could say it is a widely held belief that some people are better or more important than others.

How would you approach explaining that idea to a child? When is age would be too soon? When would it make sense to explain that it is a person's social status is not always justified (i.e cops, bosses, parents)? Traditionally, I guess they would learn it by trial and error but I don't necessarily think they would learn the idea that it is often abused to control others in a school setting since authority figures generally don't want others questioning them.

 

Recently I discovered a couple blogs with interesting content and it reminded me of how the web used to be. So I ask what blogs do you follow and what topics do they cover?

 

This also seems like it might interest this community. Originally posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/7276272

Comingle is an interesting idea that would act as a pseudo emergency fund to provide a stable week to week income for their users. It could act to stabilize your income if you have an irregular income or as an backup plan or insurance for when you lose a job or income source. It works by distributing the average of all their members contributions weekly to each user. Once the service starts, the end result will be a net gain for those with low income and a payment to provide a guaranteed monthly income for higher earners.

  • For those with low income, any amount of extra money can aid in the pursuit of opportunity and keep things from turning desperate.
  • For freelancers and gig-workers, reliable weekly income can ease the complications of sporadic cash-flow.
  • For those with more income, Comingle lets you help others, sends you a little extra cash on slow weeks, and provides a safety-net if things take a turn for the worse.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them. I just got this in an email newsletter and was intrigued.

The article is, in my opinion, purposely mischaracterizing the degrowth movement. I would say degrowth is more a natural reaction to the excesses of capitalism than movement about addressing climate change.
