And I was then double surprised that being inside the sun for a nanosecond would be so devastating!

  • 10^-5 J on the surface, when 5 J is needed for a burn
  • Surface of the sun is a few thousand degrees, inside is a few million

So like a jump off 10^3. No problem, should still be fine.

Not even remotely! I didn't look too close, but the equation he linked has temperature raised to the forth, so a temperature jump of 10^3 would result in 10^12 difference in energy.

Which would increase the 10^-5 J on the surface to 10^7 J. Which explains why you'd only have femtoseconds!

A real double whammy of unintuitive results.

I dipped my toes in the self-hosted route and would recommend Stremio + Torrentio + RealDebrid as a much simpler alternative.

Here's a guide I used - you can probably have it up and running in less than an hour.

Major points:

  • Easy setup, easy to use
  • Low cost at <$35/year
  • Can not share accounts (specifically, RD limits to one ongoing stream at a time)
  • Limited customization

I have very limited self hosting experience, and between getting my first hello world service running, problems with my ISP, sorting through the different ways to get content, and not already having TBs if hard drives sitting around, I found it to be pretty challenging.

If you're already experienced in self hosting (or want to learn) and don't mind the storage costs, then I'd recommend the Plex/Jellyfin route, but if you just want an alternative to the existing streaming services then I'd suggest looking into Stremio.

I'm sure that applies to a good chunk of the population, but I think there's more to "no war but class war" than just dodging personal responsibility.

The owning class needs to convince people to vote against their best interests, and the primary tactic they use is to divide the working class.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Would winning the class war fix everything else? Hell nah - the rich aren't just making these divisions up. But they are going to do their best to stoke the flames, because they need the distraction. We need to fight patriarchy no matter what. But the class war is making those fights harder.

All that said, trying to downplay legitimate concerns about oppressed populations by saying "no war but the class war" is very "all lives matter".

Fuuuuuck yes. All the clothes that we'd otherwise ship off to other countries as trash should just be free for anyone to have. Even clothes that are ripped could be used for something, e.g. making a quilt. It's messed up to waste the effort and infrastructure that goes into making fabric, let alone a final piece of clothing.
