However, we can objectively measure electrical potential and efficiency. If your generator is generating the electrical potential you require at an efficient rate, it is an effective generator and definitely is not a pile of rust. And if an effective generator is what I need I might say that is good, but that doesn't mean it is objectively or inherently good.
Did you just say you can't tell a good generator from a bad one, then outline exactly how you could?
That makes no sense. I believe can definitely all agree what is a good generator and what is a bad one - even aliens would be able to do this.
As such we are evaluating designs, so ideas, so there exist good ideas - which help you achieve your goals and are life affirming - and bad ideas.
What Terry Davis would call divine intellect vs thinking like a fucking nigger.

Is there an objective force that we can measure that tells you how good a generator is, with 100 being the best machine possible, and 0 being a pile of rust?
No?
But some machines are better than others. Not different, but better.

Fact: The USA has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world Fact: The USA has the highest murder rate of all developed countries Conclusion: Guns enable people to kill each other at a higher rate and should therefore be banned
That sort of sounds logical, but you also need to remember that the USA has the most blacks of all developed countries, and murder is mostly a black thing. Remove the blacks and the USA starts to look like a boring West European country.
But that's not even a good argument, as blacks use guns to kill.

HTS is just being edgy. It'd be interesting to find out where your ancestors lived, and even visit the house they lived in. We get yanks coming over from America all the time for that, but the records here aren't always the greatest.
And place matters, the jedis literally chose to invade a country and take it over in order to live in the same place their ancestors did.

You're a red head, you should make up a story about how your ancestors fled the potato famine on a coffin ship and you still have inherited memories of the gorta mor/irish holocaust and use it to get gibs.
It's probably true too.

I will place my generative organ into your excretory organ and ejaculate spematoza into your fecal tract.
In addition I will use my manipulatory limbs to attempt to stretch, distend and otherwise prematurely wear out the elastic nature of your anal sphincter.
You will enjoy this process, as, due to my enormous enthusiasm, it will be astronomical in scope.

I bought some modafinil on the dark web, and took some this morning around 6am, when my alarm buzzed, and went back asleep. I'm wide awake now, and not at all groggy and brain-fogged like I usually am in the morning.
I need to keep trying it. So far my experiments with stimulants have been very successful. I think I may have a genuine issue with low energy, lack of motivation, or sleepiness though.

I wouldn't mind if it was a percentage of the amount I was short, for example, because I'm only ever short maybe a couple hundred bucks (at the most), and then I can find the money to repay it within days typically.
Perhaps it could be considered a fine - if you bounce cheques then you damage your banks reputation. I believe that banks have fired their customers for such practices in the past (no, can't cite an example).
Did you know that theoretically a cheque is just a contract, cheque books are just a convenience, you can write a cheque on whatever. During the poll tax revolt in England people were paying their poll tax (a flat tax on each voter) with cheques written on all sorts of crap, like banana skins.

I'm also curious. I'm guessing it's a reference to all the unusual execution methods attested to by eyewitnesses in the camps - the stairs of death, the holocoaster, the minecart into the furnace, the bear and the eagle, the pedal powered brain bashing machine, the electrocuting conveyor, etc.
