I looked into container houses and I’d absolutely love a house that I can move from city to city. Moving without packing shit up. I just wish they weren’t as heavy and a bit wider.
I’d also love the idea of “stacks” where you can slot in your container home into a vertical grid. The problem is that you generally want your entry to be on the long side, so you’d need lots of corridors in such a stack.
Right? It was such a roller coaster ride with rather empty calories. But to be honest I didn’t like the book that much either, more like the start of an interesting universe. The first novel in The Culture series wasn’t that great either.
Zodiac signs are literally constellations… Which are quite real.
Astrology is also real, in the fact that it’s a uselessly real thing. Women love it though. Same with tarot. All you do is make plausible sounding shit up and then they placebo themselves into happiness or nocebo into a sour mood.
Took me 2 hours to find out why the final output of a neural network was a bunch of NaN. This is always very annoying but I can’t really complain, it make sense. Just sucks.
That could be a nice way. Sadly it was in a C++ code base (using tensorflow). Therefore no such nice things (would be slow too). I skill-issued myself thinking a struct would be 0 -initialized but MyStruct input; would not while MyStruct input {}; will (that was the fix). Long story.
If you use the GNU libc the feenableexcept function, which you can use to enable certain floating point exceptions, could be useful to catch unexpected/unwanted NaNs
Because greedy, selfish assholes are very, very good at abusing and ruining a society for their own benefit. Keeping them out of the way and from making trouble is the only way the kind of society OP posted about would have any chance to survive long-term.
We really need to find a way to do that. Maybe entice them away with a kingship on Mars, or something?
I think the solution is for all the non assholes to work together to stamp out the assholes and remove them from having power. Incredibly difficult, but not impossible. It’s the same class war that’s been waged by the wealthy for decades. Theyve never stopped attacking, we just suck at working together and have allowed them to gain waaaay too much ground.
They’re always going to be on the bus, but we can at least push them to the back where they can’t fuck with where we want to go.
The trick is to do the very minimum to help the lower class, get them to hate each other, and hate immigrants… but for some reason, not pay attention to the billionaires hiding behind the curtain.
Sounds like the tin box is a solution for an individual looking for housing, worth $20,000 in the current environment. Nobody thinks this is a solution to the entire housing crisis.
It’s not a solution tho. Shipping containers are designed to hold freight not people.
The walls are thin steel bakes/freezes with temperature, adding insulation just takes away more of the already thin container width
Flat roof means rain, leaves, snow, etc just piles up and creates rust
Shipping containers are valuable for transport - the real reason you see these and the tiny houses on wheels is because they conveniently ignore land needs for the house to actually sit on
Just to add, as long as the roofs aren’t damaged they are curved enough so rain drips off.
And while steel isn’t a good insulator it’s not like they insulate any less than other thin materials. But yeah they are too narrow to make the ideal tiny house.
They are also way too heavy and sturdy, you don’t need your tiny house to be able to be able to hold like 100 tonnes on the roof (posts) or 40 tones on the floor.
That’s kind of a scary thought, that I think humanity is about to try out next. As in, who needs the humans anymore, when robots will do the same tasks with far less effort?:-|
That’s the secret sign that gives you the power of chakra energy transmutation. Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple used this power to become a space trucker.
