If you've trusted your life to a rocket like these women have, you're an astronaut to me.
ArbitraryValue
I was talking to a friend of mine about whether or not we would get along with exact copies of ourselves. He didn't think that he would want to spend much time with his copy, but I thought I would love my own company in that sense. We would have the same values, the same goals in life, the same likes and dislikes, the same hobbies, the same sense of humor, etc. And all that is just with a same-sex copy of myself that I would have no attraction to. An opposite sex (but still heterosexual) copy would also have the same sex drive and the same weird fetishes.
Anyway, it's still probably not worth fracturing one's psyche for but with good arguments for each side. Reasonable people can disagree.
What can "never" mean here?
For coal, however, if you invest 1kWh you typically get below 0.4 kWh in return.
So people run coal plants to destroy energy? Like, you have too much electricity and so you build a coal plant to get rid of it?
I'm not sure that whatever metric this source uses matches what most people think when they hear "energy amortization".
"Obligatory charity." Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
