  • FM radio.

    To be honest, I mostly don’t listen to music. I do have a subscription to Spotify but I don’t really use it. I’m not cancelling it because I’m on a Duo plan with my dad and he uses it a lot, really getting his money’s worth.

    So the only time I do listen to music is while driving, and then I just turn on the radio. (I also don’t drive very often, I mostly use public transport.)







  • You handle that gun like a professional. I like your red shirt. I like your brown pants. I like your white shoes. You seem like a very take charge person.

    That was after putting 5 seconds of thought into it.

    3/5 of those were about her looks. The other two, yeah, I thought of that option just before posting but figured I’d let someone else say it. Just hoped they’d be less condescending about it.





  • I’m pretty sure that generally some particles break off from either side whenever you cut something in half. When I cut paper with scissors I get a distinct smell, that’s clearly paper particles that have escaped into the air. Under the right conditions you may even see some dust.

    When using a saw it is very explicitly removing material to create a gap between the two sides. You can see this clearly in a lot of woodworking videos on YouTube. For other tools like a knife, it’s not as obvious, but I still think some material will inevitably be lost no matter what you do.

    Maybe some extremely specialized nano-scale methods can cut things without losing material, but I doubt that’s something you can do on an everyday life scale.

    Disclaimer: I’m not an expert and I did 0 research, just giving my opinion and personal knowledge (which may be wrong).

    USA is an obvious first choice for many. I imagine other developed countries in the Americas will be hotspots too. The big question is which countries would accept mass influxes of European refugees.

    I wonder if enough could flee to Africa, and bring some substantial wealth with them… Would that actually help Africa catch up to the developed world? Or would it instead just be new colonialism?

    Of course Africa is huge, diverse and messy, so that’s a very vague answer/question.
