the internet is really drying up these days

@livid_scrooge The conversation is about work during the night, in the past. Night vision did not exist in the past.

It's tough to think when your mind is the Sahara, semi.

lol

when the NPCs out themselves

Yea I know I’m pulling your leg

Now normalize my name

the game was fun when they seemed more real

Pot.
Kettle.
Black.

@semiAuto The main historical limit to procutivity during the night in the past was insufficient lighting to allow for work to take place, along with being cooler and requiring to remain closer to sources of warmth, and not wandering far and wide. In Egypt for example, a single lumen hour oil candle, required over 100 hours of human work. 1 hour of light = 100 hours of standard human labour. Most people therefore CANNOT be productive. Candles drastically lowered this, and lightbulbs a hundred fold more. The result is that now, unlike the past we can work at all hours, compared to before where we were limited by restrictive light levels.

you have a stupid definition of productivity

You mean a correct one?

What is yours?

well I consider say designing an aqueduct for water to be a productive thing

You can't do that in the fucking dark

lol okay

Good luck coding without a computer.

well it doesn't matter about writing code

the point is that when you design you are spending time research before applying the knowledge of that research

IN

THE

DARK

No you are not.

so you can design a bridge in the dark and then write out onto paper the conclusion the next day in the light

hours spent designing 100

hours spent drawing 5

That's one bridge I am NOT crossing.

Talk about a bridge too far...

The act of designing the bridge, is to draw out the bridge

like I said you don't do a lot of engineering I'm guessing

Which you cannot functionally do in the dark in ancient times.

well I feel past the point of thinking you have any genuine interest in discussing this

>feel

>thinking

Seems legit

I cannot understand how you are thinking...

He's not. He's feeling.

Because the act of designing something is to make it realized

apparently time sequencing is not a thing in your world

To put it on paper

state 1: thinking
