Randall has somehow weaponized my love for the Blue Ball Machine. He is a threat to us all.

Reminds me of this Dead Internet Theory video.

“there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers”

g(63)? TREE(3)? BB(10^100)? Rayo’s Number? Fuck outta here with that fake bullshit

It’s correct, just a bit confusing to parse at first. Like a garden path sentence, but with commas.

This is the crux of the issue. An overwhelming majority of people support not changing the clocks anymore. But we can’t reach a consensus on which to stick with. Personally, I think Arizona did it right.

I think it falls into the same pitfalls as most super niche communities, like a lot of subreddits did.

For example, the shaving subreddit (/r/wicked_edge I think?). Its mission statement was to introduce people to cleaner, safer, and more efficient shaving methods. And for the most part, with all of its resources and wikis, it successfully did it. But if you choose to stay after you’ve made your informed purchases, the posts were mostly braggarts showing off their latest hundreds-of-dollars handles, supreme razor blades, brushes made from actual gold, that sort of thing. My point is, the average person (by my guess, like 90% of people going to the site) gets the information they need and then never participate in the community again. But those who stay are those who really want to stay– people who are most likely to brag and boast. So over time, it falls more and more into plain old dick measuring contests.

This obviously isn’t true of all communities, but I think it’s a common pitfall for a lot of them. I can imagine privacy is very similar: take all the steps you can to learn to protect your privacy, and then… you’re good, for the most part.

God I’m stupid. I misread what you wrote as raising water to 70°, not raising water by 70°, without even thinking that that’s not how you make tea. Fixed my math, and the numbers now check out.

My math: Boiling a cup (0.24 kg) of water from 25°C to 70°C ~45kJ (0.24kg×45°C×4182J/kg°C) Raising 0.24 kg of water up a height 30,000 m ~ 71kJ (0.24kg × 9.8m/s^2 × 30,000 m)

So my math says raising the temp of a cup of water from room temp would be equivalent to raising it about 19 km high.

Edit: I’m a moron who can’t read, boiling water from 25 to 100 °C takes:

0.24 kg × 75 °C × 4182 J/kg°C ~ 75kJ

I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an “abstract study” even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?

No, but my professor let me lick the lab equipment when I was done.

Previously, I had never ever seen a movie in theaters twice. If I had seen a movie once and wanted to watch it again, I could wait to buy it for myself. It just didn’t ever make much sense to me as to why anyone would watch the same movie multiple times in like a one-month time span.

And then Everything Everywhere All At Once came out, and I saw it again the week after I saw it the first time, and then I understood. What a fantastic movie.

the urge to downvote this is very strong, well done

That’s seriously my top contender for my next phone right now, and it’s a model more than a year old. But it’s the only 1 of 2 available phones on the market with 5g, a removable battery, and an SD card slot. Fucking baffles me.

okbuddyphd, shittymobilegameads, pizzacrimes, garfieldwithoutgarfield, just all the really stupid obscure ones that give me a chuckle browsing through.

cool, but what about removable batteries

HOLY FUCK I AM SO FUCKING HARD

…small concern though: I currently use the rail planner a lot, usually to map out how I want my outposts to look at long distances. If the rail planner, particularly shift + click, is actively looking for rails to snap to, I hope it won’t greedily try to snap to rails I don’t want it to. I’m sure the devs already have this considered, but I just want to make sure that if I have multi-layer train crossings, and I’m trying to plan them out before I actually build them, that I’m able to path out rails behind an elevated rail without the rail planner assuming I want the rail to connect to the elevated rail. I hope that won’t be an annoying issue.
