I think the statement “this system is consistent” is a practical statement that is unprovable in a sufficiently powerful consistent system.

Can you help me understand the tone of your text? To me it sounds kinda hostile as if what you said is some kind of gotcha.

It’s very counter intuitive. As the other commenter suggested I was referring to Gödel and his incompleteness theorem.

Actually if the system you made up doesn’t work it would be possible to prove that it does inside that system as you can prove anything inside a system that doesn’t work.

That is why my comment is not entirely accurate it should actually be: Until you prove that if the system works you can’t prove that the system works.

Can you spot the difference in the logic here?

I like it sometimes. The temporary pain is stress relieving for me. It’s not about the flavor anymore then.

Having done extreme spice multiple times you start to taste the flavors again btw.

Also if it’s not your thing why would you want to love them? I don’t think anyone should need to justify not liking some food.

Until you prove that you can’t prove that the system you made up works.

I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.

For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.

Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).

I recommend Bernadettes channel on this topic: link

If you only think about half live then yes it would be radioactive forever but in reality after a long time every atom would’ve decayed into non radioactive elements.

You can even calculate the expected time it would take for the random process of decay to terminate.

Complex topic. It would depend on the bomb in question. Some are more “dirty” than others.

But it isn’t in this case. Look for example their deranged longing for “remigration”.

Legally yes it would be easy. Practically we do not have the infrastructure anymore for it.

Heck iirc the state doesn’t even have the capability to know who would need to be drafted anymore.

It is and it’s a nice picture does remind me of the time I was in Finland.

Is it just me or is this image extremely low res?

Jap, ich weiß davon, deswegen habe ich es so formuliert. Diese Aussagen haben kernwahrheiten. Das Problem ist jetzt aber komplett zu verallgemeinern und so zu tun als ob es Gewissheiten sind. China ist ein recht großes Land und manchen Teilen auch noch divers.

Und ich bin nicht pro China und sehe gute legitime Gründe nicht dort einreisen zu wollen, doch diese verallgemeinerung geht mir doch auf den Keks.

Bekanntlich ist gesamt china einfach immer in einer Smog wolke 🤡

Es gibt ja bekanntlich kein China ausherhalbs der großen Städte. Außerdem top aktuell deine Quelle. Dabei gebe ich ja zu, dass die großen Städte sehr verschmutzt sind, doch hat sich das auch etwas verbessert (doch immernoch scheiße).

Genau die dreckigen Chinesen die nur fekalien fressen! Da will man doch nicht hin. Und dann bekommt man auch noch neue krankheiten von diesen dreckigen Chinesen!

Offensichtlich /s

Alter, könnt ihr euch selber hören? Es gibt viele Gründe nicht nach China zu reisen aber hört auf mit dieser Rassismus scheiße

I do not like Orban at all and hate to agree with him, but I think he is right. I think there are two big reasons why Ukraine is unlikely to join the EU proper in the near to medium term:

1. The EU needs reform when it comes to deciding things when there is no consensus and this is now a very accepted position.The EU will only become more sluggish if we open the gates to another country with veto power.
2. Farmers. Ukraine is a big (and has potential to be even bigger) aggreculture powerhouse. Many laws (aggreculture subsidies etc) in the EU are not sustainable if Ukrain becomes part of the EU.

These problems are solvable, but take a lot of time I think. Also I don’t think it is in the EUs best interest to allow a war torn/rebuilding market into the single market, but here I could be wrong. Maybe there are reasons (like a way to exploit Ukraine after the war) that would invalidate my theory…

I would like to see the EU expand, but I think it will take a long time.

I am actually German so thank you for all the recommendations! I will check out some of the books (even though I know it will take me some time to get to them. I have a rather long reading list, but I will check them out!)

This sounds fascinating. I was always fascinated how complicated life could be in days past. Like how we take decimalization for granted today or the cheap conversion of money and the enormous availability of modern currency (i.e. Paper money and coins).

I once read about coin shortages and how that could impact an entire region. Fascinating stuff.

Do you happen to have book recommendations on the topic of coins or economic history of Europe (or even more specifically the German speaking area)?

Am I correct in thinking that this would be a relatively enormous amount of money for a normal person in that time?
