So as far as I know, the benefit of LOHC is that compression/cooling is no longer required. Transporting/storing hydrogen becomes as easy as transporting any oil. There is an energy cost in the binding reaction, which is endothermic, but the unbinding reaction is exothermic so you get some of that energy back.

Unless you mean some other conversion?

Regarding transportation and storage, have a look into "LOHC", there's a lot of promising tech that is already beginning to solve these problems.

If you are gonna fake something like this, you wouldn't actually shoot a bullet, you'd use a blank and some tiny blood pack like they use in movies.

Your question was deemed too stupid for No Stupid Questions

I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I think it is misleading for you to think of these things as "rules". Calling them rules implies that people know what they are, and try to abide by them. But I don't think thats whats happening.

Since written communication conveys so much less emotion than verbal communication, people tend to read more into the textual form to infer things like emotion or intent. There aren't specific rules for this, people just pick up on patterns. For example angry or excited people tend to use capitals to "sound louder". People talking casually tend to leave out some grammar. Friendly conversations tend to have more long rambling sentences, as opposed to someone trying to prove a point with concise, well punctuated sentences.

So I think what NTs are doing is just subconsciously figuring out these patterns to determine a likely emotion/intent behind messages.

To me, "K" isn't rude for the reasons your friend tried to list, but it does sound "colder" to me, probably because my brain sees a pattern where the people who are not interested in talking to me will tend to use short succinct responses, while people happy to talk will use longer form.

But a huge part of communication, especially online, is just getting used to the people you talk to. It's happened many times that someone who seemed grumpy to me at first turned out to be very friendly, etc.

I'm not trying to make a case for or against veganism, or hunting. My point is that "we are animals and animals sometimes do X" implying that makes it ok, is bad logic. Animals also sometimes eat their young, or murder or rape other creatures of the same species.

Now like I said, I'm not arguing against or for veganism here, I think there are good arguments for both sides, I just don't think that the "we are animals" argument is one of them :)

I respect your viewpoint, but I wanted to point out that I think the argument of "animals do X, therefore it's ok" isn't a really good one, imo. In fact I think one of the features of being human is being able to rise above what other animals do, when we think it is a good idea. (Whether it's a good idea here though, is another topic)

Calling a group of people condescending, then accusing them of having limited brain function is a little hypocritical doncha think?

I think part of the issue is people tend to conflate "does something immoral/less moral than an alternative" and "is a bad person".

I think most meat eaters would acknowledge that meat is inherently worse for the environment, and also less moral due to more animal suffering, than not eating meat. Doing so does not make them bad people, just like owning an iPhone doesn't make someone a bad person, etc. And yet when the topic of "meat is immoral " comes up, people very quickly seem to think it is an accusation of them being a bad person?

I'm not sure why you are making up imaginary arguments. Have you ever heard anyone ever accuse someone else of "not being vegan anymore" because they ate a non vegan product? I know quite a few vegans, I try to be vegan myself (but quite often cave, cheese is delicious), and all the vegans I know would be simply thrilled to know that someone was making an effort at all. Literally no one cares if you aren't 100% vegan, basically no one is anyway. But if you decide once a week to eat a vegan meal instead of a steak, great!! That's still helping the planet, better for the animals, etc.

But making up these ridiculous vegan cliches doesn't help anyone, it just makes more people annoyed at each other.
