If you make it “all human live” it starts to look quite attractive again

No one ever really cared

That’s just not true. The problem is that the people who care were never the kind of people who’d come into power in our society.

If we want the wind farms to blow we’ll have to power them using fossil fuels of course. It’s the only solution.

Glad to see reading comprehension is at an all time high.

my 50 watt lightbulb will run for an absurd number of years when hooked up to a nuclear generator and will be completely vaporized by the nuclear bomb.

That is true whether you express the energy as kWh or MJ.

Also keep in mind your average person likely doesn’t remember their physics classes and how joules, time, and watts all relate to each other

It’s becoming clear to me that you don’t either. KW is not the same as kWh, the latter does not have a time component anymore despite the name. Watt is the amount of joules per second. kWh is the amount of energy spend it you use 1KW for an hour regardless of the time that amount of energy is spend in similar to how a lightyear is the distance that light travels in a year regardless of how long you take to travel that far.

Uranium has 2x10¹³ joules of energy stored. You can use all that energy at once in a bomb and explode a city in a second, a lot of Work done very quickly, ooooor you could put it into a reactor and power a city and do a lot of Work during a much longer time period.

And the amount of kWh provided is the same in either case. So using kWh gives you no relevant information about how the device uses that energy during a period of time.

My point is that kWh is the same. It doesn’t say anything about time. 1 kWh is 3.6 MJ. There is no difference except the factor 3.6.

Right, so it’s only the popularity of the unit. If everyone would use MJ that’s what people would be used to and there’d be no real difference.

kWh is just a measure of energy though. B it says nothing about the time in which it’s expended. It’s possible to use a kWh in a minute.

I can’t imagine why kWh would be more convenient than MJ though.

Most people don’t because they dont have the technical skills to maintain a server or because they dont feel it’s worth the effort with open servers existing. A small vps can be rented for less than $5 per month or a mini pc can be bought for $50. Not everyone can afford that, but those prices are not prohibitive for everyone outside the first world.

I do. It can be pretty cheap if you don’t open it up for other users. Otherwise it can get pricy.

You can always run your own instance and federate with everyone

Usually signal for communication, totp for 2fa. I’ve as of yet seen only one site that sends 2fa codes through signal.

I’m really happy that my doctor’s website uses Signal to send the authentication code.

Wouldn’t count on it being up to date. For my country 4 out of five biggest banks in the country are missing.

TOTP or Signal, depending on the use-case

Mostly sex and stay out of my territory

It won’t cause the perception to differ because the difference is so small it’s impossible to measure
