Thanks!

The whitespace structure was inspired by programming, where
    with extremely few exceptions, there is always one statement per line.
It makes the code way easier to read and edit.
It had occurred to me that 
    the only reason we don't do the same thing in English is because it wastes paper.
But I'm like "What paper?".
Editing is much easier, since
    the major plaintext editors,
        being designed for programming,
    have very good support for linewise editing.
It is extremely awesome for nuking and reordering sentences.
Sentence structure of long sentences can also be made more clear
    with some tactical line breaks and indentation.

Also, humans actually literally are allowed to wander freely and gather fish, mushrooms, and berries in Finland—even on private property.

Neither are animals. Especially hippos, arguably the most territorial animals on the planet.

w/e, they pay in the energy they gather. If they don't gather enough energy, they don't survive.

We're just the only ones who pay to exist with money.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Intuitively, my preference would be a smaller city like Jyväskylä or Oulu. If they have the courses, I'll definitely do it.

Oh, yeah, Resonanssi. I wandered into their lounge on my first visit to the Physicum. They taught me about aasin omega tee, lol. ($A \sin \omega t$)

Oh, shit, that means you're the second coming of Christ.

You will find no argument here about the problems that arise when corporations are not required to pay for the garbage they produce.

However.

Optimising incandescent lightbulb efficiency is actually not easy to do. It is easy to make a lightbulb that lasts literally forever, if you run it cooler. But if you do that, your power efficiency will be total shit. (And your light will be uncomfortably red, but let's say that's less important for now.) You will waste a lot of money on your electricity bill. There will come a point when you will be wasting more money on electricity than the lightbulb is worth. This breakeven point is difficult to determine. It is a calculation that the average consumer shouldn't be burdened with.
