Remember it's not just eating you also have to do enough exercise in one day to burn those 10k calories. So how much do you have to eat to be able to burn 10k calories in one day without killing yourself or need to intake more? I have no clue.

I remember reading about this. They spent months building it, to scale, and then players promptly blew it up.

I know about carb loading but you couldn't begin to eat enough to satisfy the demands of 10000 calories.

So on average you expend 100 calories per mile you travel. This is the roughly the same whether you run or walk. That makes this 10000 calories burned in 11hr:20min. That's insane. He'd had to have been eating and drinking while running at that speed.

Non stop that would take almost 4 years to watch. And that's only because we have a leap year once every 4 years.

He was completely reliant on others goodwill at the end of his life because he had nothing. He lived in a hotel and had lost everything he'd ever built because he couldn't afford to keep it. He didn't have to be a capitalist in order to be able to pay for his own food.

Don't get me wrong I think Tesla was a great inventor, but he was rather stupid about other things. He died penniless because he couldn't manage his finances and refused to accept any deals that would let others manage them. Edison was a so so inventor and general scumbag but he new how to handle money and how to get more. I've always thought Tesla would have thrived if he just capitulated and let others use his inventions to make money as long as they financed his ideas. What he needed was a patron. They would have made a great team if Edison just funded whatever projects Tesla wanted to do and in return Tesla let Edison make money off his inventions.

This of course is all predicated on you being able to hire and keep workers. Too many people want the pay but don't want to do the work. At my job it always seems to be a surprise to people when we say it can be a physically demanding job and the job actually turns out to be physically demanding.

I always enjoy these conversations so you don't ever need to worry I'm going to be offended. You've always been respectful even when we disagree and that's what really matters. Being able to have discussions about topics with differing points of view or even opposite points of view without devolving into insults or accusations is quickly becoming a rarity in our current society. It's also something that becomes almost impossible with the way social media works. The opposite is sadly not true.

I can see what you're saying and can understand your viewpoint. I don't think we'll ever completely agree since I do think there is an objective measure of racism. Of course regardless, I get the feeling the outcomes of our dealing with racism would be remarkably similar. And you're quite right that at the end of the day it's people and our need to be superior that's ultimately at fault. Even in cultures where there isn't much or any racial diversity we still manage to find something that we believe makes us better. Whether that's religion, education, money, material possessions, or lineage we have ample examples of it throughout history.

This doesn't mean I think actual bigotry and racism doesn't happen. It does. And we should root it out whenever we find it. But just because someone cries wolf doesn't always mean there are wolves. And sometimes the person crying wolf is the wolf.

Without an objective standard anyone can accuse anyone of anything and have them punished for their "crime" regardless of the evidence because in their minds that person did the crime. This is the kind of thing we're seeing more and more of and it's just beyond stupid. This is exactly how we get moronic ideas like the original PSA.

We've got this horrible trend happening in our society where if someones feelings get hurt or you don't agree 100% with their viewpoint you're accused of being racist or bigoted. Nevermind the fact that their viewpoint may be the racist or bigoted one, it's you that's being unreasonable. Part of this is people refusing to use reasonable standards i.e. definitions of words and instead redefine them on the fly based solely on their feelings.

I think you've taken something and run with it without taking into account what I actually said. For the most part I absolutely agree with you. You even restated exactly what I said, in your rebuttal of the second point, as your point. The problem is that the victim can't be the only judge that determines whether something is or isn't racist. In your example about being loud if you are in fact not being loud but the "victim" decides your are, are you being loud? No you're not. That was the point I was trying to make. It's also why I pointed out that judges have to have so much experience, training, and learning.

Yes, we absolutely can. Racism has a definition: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Determining whether something is racist is not predicated on your race. Now you may not realize something is racist when it actually is, because it meets the requirements previously mentioned, in which case perspective is what may be needed to point it out. But that also means that something may not be racist even though you may say it is because it doesn't meet the aforementioned requirements. If you try to make racism this nebulous thing that can only be determined by the victims then everything and anything can be racist simply because they say so. And that is not a good enough reason to make any definitive judgements. There is a reason things are carefully codified in our laws and judges have to have years of experience, training, and learning.

That's the conclusion they came up with too. But in the off chance it doesn't end in a flaming ball of destruction they give you a better chance than other seats would. Certain death vs almost certain death.

So I'm all for more individual space on an airplane but I also know that airplane seats are very specifically designed. In the case of a crash their design has been proven to help increase your chance of survival. Mythbusters even did an episode about this and came to the conclusion that the way they're designed does help significantly even if you won't be injury free. So with that in mind I'd be happy for any change in the seats that accomplishes the same thing and gives me better separation from the people beside me.
