The user you’re talking to is way too unaccepting of counterarguments but I do find it funny how in one comment you’re talking about elitism and then in another you say all the high end restaurants use gas

Science@mander.xyz•Coffee with a splash of physics: how to make the most out of your brew – Physics World
1·2 months agoIf it takes 155 people to make a cup of coffee, assuming it’s $3 and minimum wage is $7.25, then on average every person involved has to have spent less than 10 seconds on their individual contribution to have been fairly compensated (if $7.25/hr can even be considered fair compensation).
Of course, it’s not like anyone involved is specifically dedicating 10 seconds to this one cup, no they’re making batches. But even still, ten seconds is so very short.
Of course, we already knew almost everyone in the chain is being exploited.

Earth, Environment, and Geosciences@mander.xyz•A 1.9 billion-year-old bedrock will soon house the world’s first permanent nuclear waste siteEnglish
2·3 months agoMost high level nuclear waste is spent fuel and can be recycled. Sometimes it doesn’t make financial sense, but politically it can, depending on the circumstances.
Low level waste, things like irradiated shielding, pipes, PPE, etc, can’t be recycled into fuel, and it represents a large majority of nuclear waste.

The Elder Scrolls@lemmy.zip•Skyrim and Fallout 4 artist says Bethesda's Todd Howard has too many yes men: "A lot of people were afraid to say no to Todd and that hurt him"
1·3 months agoI read an article recently, too lazy to grab the link. It was a second-hand account of how Gabe Newell realized when he worked with developers, they were yes-men, so he decided to step back from game development projects because he couldn’t get his ideas treated equally with his employees’.

Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Why, exactly, are the Western bourgeoisie so evil and fucked up?
292·6 months agoCapitalism rewards greed (or more accurately capital accumulation). It doesn’t reward evil, evil is a side effect of prizing capital accumulation above any moral framework. Like the paperclip maximizer, capitalism is cold, calculating, and without morals, resulting in one thing: maximization of profit.
If, in some parallel universe, the best way to maximize capital accumulation were to ensure well-being for everyone (stay with me here), then that is what the bourgeoisie would do. They are not evil, they are amoral.

Observation in quantum mechanics isn’t like everyday observation. There is no passive observation, you have to interact with a particle to observe it. It’s like putting your hand in front of the hose to see if it’s on. You can see from the spray pattern that when the hose is “observed” the pattern changes.
