Jokes on you, I already have crabs

You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?

The current scale of Lemmy is appealing. It doesn’t have the same breadth but I happily trade the toxic elements of Reddit, etc, for a little breadth.

That depends what colour your skin is or if you wear any non christian headgear, symbols, etc.

It comes from chy-nah

Bill went bad. He was okay until we found out what he really believes.

Is this really the story Americans tell each other? I thought they loved foreign adventures. That would explain the 800 military bases they have dotted around the world. Do us all a favour, pack them up and take them back to your shithole country.

And then we all clapped

‘Shithole country’

That’s an interesting origin story. I suspect these ideas came about and came to possess a utility as larger societies formed. Nobody needs to be told that murder and stealing are wrong, we know it instinctively. It has been shown that primates understand this concept generally.

One problem with large societies is that customs becomes entrenched over time. We keep following the same rules and forget where they came from, we mistake the menu for the food. We cannot turn to a naturalistic solution to this problem, where everything is eating everything else because that amounts to fascism. Instead we must settle for a kludge where rich people get a different type of justice than do the poor, sentencing is more punitive before lunch and many other idiosyncrasies. My point is, I don’t want to forget that a menu is just a menu. Some things will always be true and the law is not one of those things.

That’s generally true for most HVAC applications. Bang-bang control creates limit cycle behaviour and as long as a small oscillation in temperature is acceptable, it’s a nice simple solution.

OPs problem seems to be a discontinuity between the two limit cycles, heating and cooling. The way to tackle this is to make time series vectors of all measurements and compare them with the subjective sensation of the room temperature. That should inform the relevant set points for the control actions.

Why do people talk about law as if it has any sort of substance? If all the books were burnt we would only be able to faithfully reproduce the science books, everything else is just some stuff we made up.

Control theory is a bitch

Like the guys at the Nuremberg trials. Turns out ‘just following orders’ was not a creditable defence.

How strong is your cabbage game?

How is this even a question? If you believe someone is good and they decided to do something against the law but for good reasons, are you going to punish that person? We know rules are important in society and we all aspire to be good citizens but sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we have to abandon our principles or break the law. Nobody is obeying the speed limit when carrying a dying child to hospital and nobody is condemning that person for breaking the law, to give a completely fatuous example.

The reason jurys convict ethically sound defendants is the same reason people fail to make the ethically sound choice in the Milgram experiment.

It doesn’t matter what the legal statutes say, you still have to think for yourself and others to make compassionate choices.

The catch is no one has a car.
