It’s less weird when you realize it’s not a hexagon, it’s a sine wave in cylindrical coordinates. There are a lot of negative feedback loops such that a sine wave can turn into a standing wave. You just have to get a little lucky with a couple important things like your rossby number et voila, hexagon.

As someone who works in the field, that sounds like something I’d pitch to shareholders when I’m trying to steal their money, not when I’m trying to fuse particles.

Fusion releases a daughter particle and a neutron. The daughter particle is much larger and will deposit its energy back into the plasma, the neutron will travel much further until it hits a collector outside the chamber, heating it up, which will heat water. You don’t get to decide which direction the neutron goes, so you have to build this collector around the entire thing.

Average car size probably rose approximately 70% as well. I remember when Hummers were considered absurdly large, now they’re not even the largest things on the road.

Stalin disappeared thousands of people. Tiger Stalin “disappeared” a few, but there was no hiding it, the pile of intestines and bones was a dead giveaway.

This was my exact reaction when Ubisoft shut down the servers for The Crew, and people actually reimplemented the game server to bring it back. Of all thr racing games in the world, I had no idea anyone played more than 30 minutes of The Crew.

“Your honor, I got the M1 because it was safer than an F150 in my neighborhood with lots of small children.”

I like how this approach gets called “okay on the privacy side” and just assumes you’re logged in to everything. In case you missed it, the subject matter here is browsing porn, a vast majority of people aren’t logging in at all with any service when they watch porn.

On the downside, we’re not building a better world, but on the plus side, we at least have more PFAs than we did before!

I’m a physicist, not a genie, and I have no fucking clue what adding an electron to every atom would do. I can’t even begin to fathom the question.

I was hoping for L’euler

If EA gets bled dry by private equity, it’ll probably be the biggest company to go down that way ever.

How could Canada complain about anything when they’re clearly underwater?

Honestly, I don’t think I could be with anyone who understood a single word of that wiki description.

I think it’ll only be “too hard” the first play through. I got every achievement in HK, I’ll probably do the same with Silksong, which means eventually I’ll be able to beat every boss in order without dying in less than 10 hours. It’ll get easier to the point where I’m adding challenges to my game just to stay entertained.

Most of the complaints are limited to the early game. After act 1, I didn’t really struggle to the same level anymore. I had the masks and abilities I needed to navigate hard fights.

Actually, this isn’t useful, so we still let it be called “math”.

I love how “animals” and “engineering” are presented as equivalent in this meme, like “yeah I know these aren’t real sciences or anything but I think they’re cute!”

The implication of Her was that men would be the ones getting AI girlfriends. It seems the tables have turned in the past decade, and I’ve heard way more stories about AI boyfriends.
