What the fuck did I just listen to

Punk drumming goes so hard. It doesn't get enough credit. If you can do Dude Ranch with no pauses then you'll have earned my respect!

As a guitarist this has inspired my new exercise regimen:

  • Switch Fitbit to right arm
  • Play more NOFX riffs

The above comment is more applicable to itself than to the comment to which it refers, weirdly. It's a sort of extra-ironic, self unaware recursion.
Edit: your edit doesn't fix anything. You claim the outrage is over nothing. I then explain what I think the outrage is over, you then claim that my explanation is somehow unrelated. You then edit, saying that people shouldn't be outraged, because of an opinion you have. I'm getting an aggressive vibe from the way you are writing, so maybe it's better not to engage with you, but at the same time I'm curious why this fairly dry, non divisive topic has you so vehement.

It seems the outrage is over this part:

the public that pays for the American government agency – because of a deal with a private insurance risk firm.

Which is, on the face of it, outrageous. American public pays for the modelling but isn't allowed to benefit from it because an insurance company wants to keep the data secret.

This reads like a LinkedIn comment honestly

It's not a productive discussion that's needed though. The death penalty has been going on for four centuries in the US. That's an awful lot of time for an awful lot of productive discussions, and yet innocent people are still being put to death by the machinery of the state. At this point we're just tired of it.
For the innocent victims of the death penalty, I imagine it feels like a regime. Like an inscrutable, bureaucratic behemoth, unable to change course even in the face of logic. It's inhumane, it's unreasonable. It's a regime - an immovable set of arbitrary rules where no single individual has to take responsibility, and no individual human being's decision can save you, even if you're innocent. It's a regime.

It absolutely does, my friend. It's called the analemma.

Fair play to you for posting that many comments. You're putting the actual work in to make this place interesting. The best thing about you in my opinion, as opposed to a lot of active posters (here and elsewhere) is that you often disagree with the hive mind, and you stick to your guns. And I've seen you, on more than one occasion, actually, publicly change your fucking mind when you were presented with a persuasive argument. Lemmy, the Fediverse, and internet discussion in general, needs more like you. (Even if you were wrong about that one thing that time).
To your health, Mr. Squid!

Yes. You need to use radiation, via radiators. It's a shame I'm getting downvoted on this, because I really do know what I'm talking about on this one. Ammonia in heat pipes wicks the heat away from the thing you want to be cold, towards the radiator, which is usually just a dumb coil, but could be enhanced with a bimetallic thermally decoupled louver if you want to keep it cool in sunlight. Or bury it, since we're on the moon. From an engineering perspective it's not that difficult to do, as the variables which affect it are well known and don't change that much. It is for sure slower than combined conductive/convective cooling, but it's a known quantity, so you can plan quite effectively.
