I firmly believe that a “crustless ice mantle” meets the definition of an ocean.
- Comment on NASA uses force field on Moon to sweep away deadly dust 9 hours ago:
The result is a clinging, charcoal-like dust that coats spacesuits, lenses, gaskets, and other equipment. This has been a problem ever since the first lunar landing missions in the 1960s when the Apollo astronauts would return to the Lunar Module looking like coal miners as the dust got everywhere, interfering with equipment, wearing down components, and not doing the Neil Armstrong et al’s lungs any good either.
Maybe this tech can end up helping to improve air quality once it makes its way back to Earth.

Not to mention that animals with reproductive systems but that reproduced asexually evolved long before sperm.

You can use a symlink to point to the
figuresdirectory of a certain run of the code. Add git history to the mix, and now you have an auditable record of what version of the code’s output ended up in each version of the paper.You can be so anal and precise about everything.
- Comment on this is a meme about me 3 weeks ago:
Right.
Do your writing in a text documents accompanying the figures and data. The LaTeX code is just instructions for how to render the various text sources arrange the figures on pages to be printed or rendered as slides.
- Comment on this is a meme about me 3 weeks ago:
Clearly flawed methodology.
The value of LaTeX isn’t productivity when making a single document.
The value of LaTeX is productivity when you need to reuse past work, or update it with the latest data and figures.

That means try with energy conservation, and if that fails you’ve got a lagrangian to try least action.

What a wild ride. I did a lot of cool shit, and my best to do good for the world. Overall I’m proud.
There are still some niggling details I’m trying to figure out. Reverse? Or just revisiting? Regardless I feel it irresponsible to move forward if I leave the loose ends dangling.

That’s just electromagnetism.

- Comment on Either a grocery store order went wrong or Coca-Cola strikes again 3 weeks ago:
Right.
The 16oz can says 130 calories.
So we’d expect the 23 oz can to have 190 calories.
But it says 150… so is it watered down?
- Comment on Either a grocery store order went wrong or Coca-Cola strikes again 3 weeks ago:
So, the bigger can is watered down? Or is the point that the calorie labels aren’t trustworthy?
What’s this about a grocery order? Powerade??

Eww, no way. Humans suck.
No humans. They can be as greedy as you dragons.
Playing in the mud is fun, though! I’m always down for that.
I’ve been in that situation. I couldn’t see it until I left. If you love them let them be free. No creature should be owned. No creature can consent to being owned.

Yoga and canning beans are both great hobbies. You pick weird things to use as examples of the worst way getting sucked into QAnon could go.

That’s a really weird and gross way to talk about drag’s fiance.
I agree.
It was drag who first described drag’s fiance as a dragon in a human’s body (weird but cool), and as an owned pet (gross and toxic). Weird-ass dragonfucking I’m fine with, but ownership is gross.

Trump’s white house chose to broadcast that conversation. That was a conscious choice.

Right.
- Comment on Zelenskiy news is a farce and it is infuriating to see Goebbels' Garbage here 4 weeks ago:
Remember that Zelenskyy was an actor before he was a politician.
The purpose of the staged show was to reinforce that Europe needs to protect Ukraine and can no longer rely on America.
Zelenskyy did a great job with his facial expressions. Really sold the emotions.
Now he’s in Europe asking for money and regrouping. The performance hammered home that America is out of the game. That was the point.
It is an action to dramatize and broadcast the mismatch in priorities between two world leaders who built their careers on television. Closing a relationship is an action. It was done on stage because that is a setting where these men are comfortable and where their fans are accustomed to seeing them.

While the pizza rolls are in the oven, put peas, butter, and cheese into a saucepan and slowly heat them and mix them together. Maybe some gravy or broth if you have some to use up, or another source of salt. When the pizza rolls come out, add them and stir to coat them in flavour before serving.
₣rozen peas are tasty just on their own. Just pour out a handful to munch on as a snack.

Thank you.
I also still value those ideals. I wish that we as a society could do a better job of embodying them.
- Comment on Erasure 1 month ago:
No, it’s not incel mentality.
It’s the mentality of addressing structural issues and inequities instead of symptomatic bad actors.
It’s the mentality of trying to fix broken systems that wronged me.
Inequality is structural and needs to be addressed structurally if we want to solve it.
Blaming people and trying to get revenge by punishing them is the mentality that created the problematic structures that I’m trying to address.

A particular group of people… who ran the program and used it as a tool of oppression.
Because of this, I think that it’s valid that I direct my criticisms towards the program. Would you rather I start rattling off names? Or should I focus on the structural inequities that enabled and rewarded these bad actors?
I suspect that these overreaches of power contributed to the rampant public animosity towards these programs and enabled fascism.
I hope that someone learns from my criticisms so that we can prevent what happened last year from happening again.
