Because storms want to be circles but any given gas giants atmosphere is basically a series of nothing but storms and when you tile circles you get a hexagonal grid due to the spaces in between them?

Fair enough but I think the good of humanity should be taken broadly. First of all any kind of primary production is basically the base of the pyramid for everything else, if you make art or entertainment thats anything less than 100% cynical in nature you’re contributing a tiny amount to the general wellbeing of a huge number of people. Really anyone that makes or provides anything people enjoy in some way. I’d say it includes basically everyone except the many layers of superfluous management.

At this point that picture should be multiple layers of precariously stacked tiny pillars making up the entire base.

Their main issue is being antisocial jerks, they don’t co-operate so they can’t share knowledge and the females die careing for the eggs (which again they might not if they worked together) so they can’t pass anything onto their young either. The jerk part is they also eat eachother sometimes.

Clover is honestly fine, its short so even if it spreads into your flowerbeds its not going to do any damage, in fact since its a nitrogen fixer it might even help, and insects like clover a lot more than grass

Rom, Garak, Nog, Garak again?

Don’t forget a bar, there’s literally a whole episode about how much trouble everyone on the station is willing to go to in order to continue having a place to drink.

That’s still not entierly mass dependant, the point is at a distance based on a ratio between the two masses, if Jupiter were closer to the sun then the point would be inside the sun. Its still impressively massive to pull the point outside of the sun at any functional distance but so could a grain of dust with sufficient distance and a big empty universe to prevent anything else from interupting things.

To be fair even our attempts at describing a technically possible but implausably simple version of a blackhole are essentially educated speculation. Although worth noting that black hole like objects did appear in fiction before they were discovered IRL.

Edit: To clarify our current models tend to involve non-rotating and un-charged black holes and even then there’s significant conjecture as to what happens beyond the event horizon.

This kind of happens accidentally sometimes. Like it turns out you can use pond scum as a very basic medium for some very shitty but functioning solar pannels, we could have invented solar power as soon as we could work copper and tin if it werent for the whole needing to know all the reasons why you would even want to do that.

You could probably gradually get it moving across the surface fast enough to escape though.

So, current issue I’m trying to solve.

• Discord is kind if innately de-annonymized because I’ve talked about where I live for the purposes of visiting people.
• Discord cannot make voice calls through VPNs.

Should I try and find a workaround for that or just use discord from the desktop app and keep it segregated from my other traffic while accepting its compromised without even the minor protection of a VPN.

Or go full paranoid and make a brand new account and re-grab my old friends which creates an identifiable but not immediately obvious link to an old account (and then just self censor my own speech from then on out to avoid self doxing)

Honestly a pretty sunshine idea.

iirc its m-dash as well as constant rule of threes and generally using incredibly formal sentence structures even when the language involved is not formal in any way. Kind of like what I just did there though probably with an extra comma after m-dash.

Visual proofs can be deceptive, e.g. the infinite chocolate bar.

To be fair thats what happens when essays have minnimum word counts, long essays that are long because they don’t know the topic well and long essays that are passionate and succinct and then padded out to meet the length requirement.

Which is a good thing, perfection is subjective and humans could never buld a Utopia for the same reason ants could build one.

Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off.

Its a combination of the speed of light and how inflation has varied the size of the universe. Light’s only been able to travel about 14 billion light years since the universe began but those further regions used to be closer so light from them was already part of the way here when they vanished over the cosmic horizon.

It sounds more like he’s pointing out a literary trope to me.
