Sounds like you eat trash. Most of what I buy from the grocery store is fresh or frozen, pretty much everything else is a slow boring flavorless heavy salted death. I haven't found a service that can automate my grocery shopping to my satisfaction and frankly I wouldn't want to. My weekly meal planning happens in the vegetable department based on what in season, available locally, looks appetizing, etc.
It also sounds like you live alone, not having to contend with other people's changing schedules and laundry needs.
You're automated "easy" life sounds like an empty void. I'm not convinced you're "living" your life at all, just killing time.
Nah, let the computers do the things that they're good at, like calculating time differentials. And let people reference something real, like the sunrise and sunset. The whole daylight savings time vs. standard time is dumb, and political timezones are unfortunate, but any time system becomes meaningless when it becomes too decoupled from the way people actually experience time. I don't care when noon is in Europe, noon will always be roughly midday for me. I don't expect that's an unpopular opinion for anyone that spends any significant portion of their time outside.
"Low taper fade"?
All baking recipes should be in mass for the dry ingredients and volume for the wet ingredients, definitely NOT weight. Because measuring flour by grams (mass) makes sense, but measuring flour by pounds (weight) is fucking stupid. Lots of people in this thread pretending to be smart by using SI units, but were apparently asleep in class when the teacher covered the difference between weight and mass. If you're going to get picky about such a trifling difference between a volume of sugar and a certain mass of sugar at least get the details correct.
In the US it must be Springfield because there's so fucking many of them that they ~~named~~ made a TV show after it.
Stupid sexy autocorrect.
What do you think consequences are? Think it through again.
No consequences means no benefit either.
There will ALWAYS be mistakes, bias, and corruption. There is no such thing as incontrovertible evidence. And even if there was some fantastical magical way to know absolute truth, that is still a pretty poor justification for more murder.
Execution of innocent people is (and always has been) the entirely predictable, inevitable, and probably unavoidable result of capital punishment. There is no getting around the fact that, as long as the state executes prisoners, innocent people will be executed and "the state", i.e. taxpayers, will pay more for it than they ever would have imprisoning the convicted for life.
They let Larry Niven write some episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series, so now the K'zinti (cat people Niven originally introduced in his Ringworld stories) are canon in the Star Trek Universe. The producer (or maybe director, I don't really remember) of those cartoons was color blind and as a result, those cat like aliens became cannonicaly purple.
