  You can’t go faster than light because time and space are basically the same thing, and you’re always moving through both of them together at a constant rate.
  When you stand still, you move only through time, at the top speed of one second per second.
  When you start moving through space, your speed doesn’t change, only your direction. The faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.
  At light speed, you’re moving only through space. Your movement through time is zero, so time stops for you.
  Going faster through space would mean going back in time, which would break causality.

    To be fair, what even is “standing still”? I’m sitting in a chair in a spaceship made out of silica, metal, gasses, and water traveling around 220km/s relative to Sagittarius A.

    source

    • mech@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s always in relation to a frame of reference.
      Compared to earth, you’re standing still, so your time passes at the same rate as earth time.
      Compared to Sagittarius A, you’re moving through space, so your time passes slower than that of Sagittarius A.

    • fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think “intersect” keeps only the shared sections, so it would give you “Rick Man”. We’d need an “exclusion” or an “XOR” to retain the non-shared sections.

  Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.

  This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.

  Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.

  source

  • cmhe@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It really depends in the purpose. Sometimes you can hide stuff in unexpected places when there isn’t much interest for other people to find it, or if they don’t even know about it’s existence.

    Also sometimes it is good enough to just delay the discovery of something for a while, because its value after a certain time diminished completely.

    So, I would argue that sometimes security by obscurity can be useful. But I agree that it generally shouldn’t replace proper encryption.

  I know a dog called mister Dingleberry. Mister DingleBerry likes to Dingle his berries. In dingling his berries he takes such delight, if he could he’d dingle his berries day and night.

  One time, I remember it well, he dingled his berries so hard, he tripped over them and fell.

  In dingling his berries he takes such glee, they say he dingles his berries mercilessly.

  He dingles and dangles his berries berry hard. One time he got got completely dingleburried under em and let out a fart.

  The end.

  The real secret to the most delicious sauces you’ve ever tasted is one anchovy fillet turned into paste and simmered into the sauce, for every litre/quart of sauce you are making.

    It’s why the Romans didn’t use salt as a condiment, but fish sauce. The umami+salt is different and objectively better.

    source
  • Dozzi92@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I just made Serious Eats All-American Beef Stew earlier today, and they call for anchovies (which I had none, so I substituted fish sauce) as the umami bomb. But even for folks who get grossed out by little fish, it gets blended with chicken stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (and gelatin), to create the base. Fish sauce has become a staple in my house for certain recipes, it’s great.

      Cheers brother. I was once a minor local celebrity in Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania because of my beer knowledge. I used to be a home brewer and was involved in brewing clubs and had a lot of brewing friends. Before covid I was a bar manager for a craft beer store/restaurant/bar called Kreugels Beer and Deli. We were regularly featured on a local TV show called “Wine Hops and Road Stops”- think of a low rent version of “Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins”. The host, Jeff Bonomo, still does it. The episodes are all on YouTube im in a lot of season 3 and 4. I would do segments where I would talk about craft beer and the history of brewing. With my Irish hat and my red beard i’m kind of recognizable. For a little while every time I went out I’d hear “hey you’re that beer guy!” Lol.

      Literally the day before covid shutdown jeff told me the bosses at the TV station wanted to make me a paid co-host for the show. I was RIGHT there… Fame money women… Or actually none of that. Lol. But seriously, they did want to bring me in but then shutdown happened and everything changed. My bar closed it’s doors permanently not long after. I miss those days

    Three questions:

    1. Zahi Hawass - was he just “on” as official national tour guide, or was he able to act like a real human, and if so, what was your read on him?

    2. While out and about in the Sahara, ever hear of or run into a guy named “Camel Steve”?

    3. Do you have a few JHMCS helmets with manufacturing flaws that you take home and let the kids run around with and play jet pilot?

    Also, thanks for being a dude with stories on Lemmy.

    • BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I met zahi hawass in 1995 before he was anything other than an egyptologist and a university professor. The charisma you see on TV is 100% the real him. At the time my family was living in Jerusalem Israel. My dad was an engineer for Intel helping set up a new chip manufacturing facility on the outskirts of town.

      In the 90’s there were a lot of improved relationships between Israel and its neighbors. In 1973 there was the 6 day war where Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and a could other countries I can’t remember, all attacked Israel simultaneously. At which time Israel kicked all of their asses back to their deserts of origin in less than a week.

      Anywho… In 1995 Israel opened its southern border into Egypt for tourism. I think they called it the Tabla crossing. I was 15. We drove across the Saini desert in kind of a tour bus. We were the first Americans to make the trip. Long fucking drive too. I think it took something like 5 hours just to cross the endless wastes.

      I think Egypt was trying to lay out the red carpet for us. We stayed as a hotel that was unbelievably lavish. Lol, we were told we must stay in our rooms or be off grounds between 5pm and 7pm because they sprayed for mosquitoes. These guys are wearing these gas powered foggers full of DDT that spread a haze you couldn’t see through.

      We met Dr Hawass at our hotel and he rode with us to Giza. In pictures the pyramids look like they’re in the middle of the desert but in reality there’s a densely populated neighborhood right next to it. He walked through all of them with us. We walked through every interior room and walkway privately. He showed us his personal dig sites and I saw, with own eyes, heiroglyphs of a kangaroo. There’s debate about this but I know what I saw. He took us through the museum and we bought some little statue figurines from a street before that Dr Hawass authenticated. He said they were legit middle kingdom artifacts. It was unreal. I boldly drank tap water because I wanted to develop an immunity to the local pathogens, anticipating a return. I never did visit Egypt again but I did suffer through amoebic dissentary for 3 weeks.

      It was years later when I started seeing Dr Hawass on TV. At first I was like… wait I recognize that voice… Then the holy shit moment when I realized what a true gift it had been to get a private tour. It was me, my parents and my 5 year old younger brothers; 5 days in Egypt, I’m pretty sure the whole things didn’t cost $4000 at the time.

  You can clean cooking pans and pots by heating them up and then pouring water on them. As the water boils it pulls all the stuck particles off with little to no scrubbing.

  You can also make a nice sauce if you use wine or some kind of stock.

    A basic AAA battery has enough amperage to kill a human without the ohmage that the skin provides.

    One time a guy got curious and poked himself with copper wires so they would be in direct contact with his electrolyte-filled blood. Those wires were attached to a 1.5v battery, and he electrocuted himself and died.
