- Comment on If you managed to create batteries that can last for a century, will charging be redundant? 5 days ago:
I think unfortunately this would open the door for bad actors too. Taking old outdated phone batteries and combining them would allow for some crazy things that could do mass harm. Even smoke detectors with Americium can be gathered and dissected to radiate a small neighborhood or inact terrorism. Additional reading: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn
The whole story of why we use Americium in detectors is an interesting one in itself. youtu.be/DuAeaIcAXtg one of my favorite long form nerdy youtube channels.
- Comment on If you managed to create batteries that can last for a century, will charging be redundant? 5 days ago:
Doesn’t really make sense even to users. They would shrink the battery to a small fraction of its original side, market it as the world’s lightest and thinnest phone, with 4x the battery life of a normal phone. Then they’d have some other products of a bigger battery version for emergency red phones.
Beyond just companies wanting to turn a buck, there’s other more obvious limitations. The bands to communicate with the tower require physical antennas inside the phone and those frequencies are recycled over time to different protocols or sometimes different uses entirely. It would be useless as a phone before it’s dead.
Also the whole thing about energy density. Current lithium ballpark density is 250 Wh per kg. Taking a modern galaxy 5000mah (19.4wh) battery and multiplying it by your chosen ratio of 10 hours vs a hypothetical 876000 makes it 21,900,000Wh per Kg, still less dense than fusion energy, which is around 24,000,000,000Wh per kg but very close to fission energy density, which is around 24,000,000 Wh. Of the Uranium that actually fissioned during the Little Boy bomb explosion, it only amounted to about 0.8763kg, less energy than a kilogram of your hypothetical battery. I guess luckily batteries only weigh about 50 grams? The factory making them would have more bomb potential than the Beirut explosion if they had more than 47.5 kg of batteries, or enough to make 950 phones.
As an aside, I can’t believe how big the Beirut explosion was, 1GWh. Insane and horrifying.

Row 15. I like those puzzles, but it makes the most sense to scan from the left if that’s your method and it’s almost entirely to the right.
- Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws? 2 weeks ago:
I know it already is but should it be?
BDS would seem to suggest otherwise. We care less about actual hatred than criticisms of our ethnostate agendas, but it’s through the perceived hatred that cry-bullies thrive. Hate speech laws only make their bullying more effective. Look at Palestinian action in the UK. These laws protect us more than they hurt our political rivals. Billionaires can give a Nazi salute at CPAC with virtually no consequences and no laws were unanimously passed to provide those consequences, whereas BDS was widely adopted. TLDR, you can’t trust politicians to tell us what hatred is.
- Comment on Robotaxis can break traffic laws without fines under new California rules 2 weeks ago:
The company must report the incident to the DMV within 72 hours, or 24 hours if the officer has designated the incident a priority because of “a clear or potential danger or risk of injury to others,” the regulations said.
Nothing says imminent danger like a 72 hour grace period to do something about it.

- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard that carbon is not necessarily the best basis for self replicating structures. Silicon is able to form a lot of similarly complex bonds that carbon is with a similar chain of reactions to our own. I don’t know if another life form from the ground up would even have diseases, although I guess cancer is pretty likely in any self replicating system due to cosmic rays. That would make it pretty hard to space travel though, one would expect their repair mechanisms to far excel beyond the durability of our own, which is actually pretty crap and easily confused with symmetrical DNA chains, excessive damage, repeating sequences, etc. There are other animals on earth that have better repair systems in place than us allowing them to live virtually forever, but none are mammals.

- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 weeks ago:
I think in the event of war, it would be about as long as the time it takes for us to announce the war until it’s over. The technology to freely planet hop from another solar system is like the large hadron collider vs an ant using a leaf to cross a puddle.

We’d better hope they don’t have healing technology to share with us because he’ll give it to the insurance industry to manage after slapping a few guard rails on it.

Maybe we can all just pretend that Bernie is our leader. It’s a nice thought anyways.
- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sure we’d have no communication with the alien that wasn’t just corrupt politicians trying to speak for us to get some sort of trade out of them to increase their own power. It’s too important for any/all normal people to have a voice, and then when the aliens dislike the abhorrent greed we’ll probably just suffer some how more than we already do. I’d say we’re better off not reporting any alien sightings. I would trust almost any human on earth more talking to aliens on my behalf than a so called leader currently. Maybe Ireland, Spain, a handful of others have better than regular Joe leaders, but it’s rare.
- Comment on How come Presidents don't just be honest with people? Like say I started this war because I own oil stock so tough shit. Or like yea I was a pedo back then so tough shit. so on and son on ? 2 weeks ago:
In order to be honest you need a Jesus-like or maybe even good Samaritan level of discipline for longer than you’ve probably even wanted to be in politics to avoid the media being able to cut you down if you’re not one of their preferred candidates, and if you’re honest you’re just simply not.
Zorhan is probably as close as I’ve seen to someone who accepts tough questions and responds with honesty. He’s basically a saint though and that’s not very common. Even considering that they’re going after his wife. Honesty, in short, is not rewarded with our political and media-driven landscape, unless you make them look stupid just by virtue of the nothing burgers they bring to bear. Otherwise you’re better off giving the razzle dazzle and moving on.
- Comment on How come it seems the transfer rate from an hard drive to usb is noticably slower? But a usb to usb is incredibly fast? 2 weeks ago:
Kinda depends on all 3 devices. Some USB devices can have extremely high burst rates before they’re heat saturated or some have ssd’s built in that can nearly peg the bus speed. Slow spindisks would be in the range of 80 mb/s or so where fast ones like sata Exos drives would be nearly 300 mb/s and sas even faster, some even bursting to max out the bus speed with their cache. Another factor is the load itself. Random access data is incredibly slow on spindisks compared to virtually any USB device, meaning lots of small files are going to crawl compared to big ones. Bit locker and tpm could be slowing it down if it needs to decrypt which isn’t likely slowing the USB drives down.
I think you’d get a better set of potential issues by being specific about the devices and interfaces.

Because they have empathy for people stuck in cycles of misery. There were many choices you made in your life that could have turned out much worse than they did. I wouldn’t want people like you to sneer at you for that either.

She does look like shit though.
- Comment on How possible is it that Trump is doing some "insider trading" regarding the possible Iran strike in Polymarket? 3 months ago:
Not sure specifically about poly market, but whatever platform generates the best returns for insider trading is where the scheme is. One of his failsons owns part of a betting market and Baron trades crypto. Both have been enriched as a result. Oh, also Melania coin is literally a pump and dump. I wouldn’t say it’s possible, I’d say it’s definite.
- Comment on How would you describe that post sneeze smell? 3 months ago:
I only get it when I’m sick or about to be. Usually a sign of a sinus infection. Seems like mucus that hasn’t fully engulfed the source of infection still carries enough out to have a smell.
- Comment on What are we being distracted from? 3 months ago:
The stock value of a human life is being speed run to a crash in every way imaginable. Empathy is being systemically and purposely weeded out of avenues to power, vice signaling is replacing virtue signaling, and parasites are held to higher esteem than builders.
The central theme is that everything in front of us on a daily basis is a thin fake veneer for a collapse that we’re being conditioned to have no response to.
- Comment on I worked some prison and jails. They always put this big heavy green thing on you if your on suicide or solitary watch. My question is if Epstein was on watch then how did he suicide? 3 months ago:
Probably with help from Bill Barr. How many pedophiles does it take to remove the green thing?
- Comment on Do you touch the light switch entering a room if it's already on? 3 months ago:
That’s a good point, thank you. I guess I’m not so much looking for a diagnosis just a temperature reading on the need to explore further for what it’s worth.
I’ve developed and gotten over a lot of behavior that could be described that way, but it’s never felt like a harm to myself until I think about the germs on the light switch. Kinda minor still, but this one got more of my attention as a result.
Appreciate the sincere advice
- Comment on Do you touch the light switch entering a room if it's already on? 3 months ago:
That’s the most annoying thing about it for me. Light switches at work gross me out and I’m touching them for no reason.

Faulty autopilot mode is a great way to describe it

- Comment on This one is for the mods and admins what was the stupidest question you saw or read in 2025 or 2024? 3 months ago:
Most just rage bait questions that make suppositions about the results of things that in no way result in those things. It’s pretty common.
E.g. If trans people change our understanding of gender, should we support them?
We could definitely do with less leading questions or divisive statements hidden in the question in general.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 4 months ago:
I don’t think your friend has ever been within 2500 miles of the equator if he thinks the sun is orange. Go south enough and the idea of a yellow sun even seems dumb.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such? 4 months ago:
Wouldn’t ensuring leftists aren’t parents but conservative are just work to push the overton window in the future?

I use the built in mount commend, personally.
- Comment on What are the limits to masked so called ICE agents? Are they just let off the hook and disobey laws while not identifying themselves? Why can't I be in the right by them stopping me first and shoot? 4 months ago:
Your civil state laws are still intact depending on the state, but a lot of this is the logical extremist conclusion of the patriot act and qualified immunity precedence, which is to say police have been elevated to a degree higher than that of a citizen with less responsibility than a citizen at the same time. Lazy politicians love the executive and we’ve had nothing but lazy majority politicians for a long time. It will not be easy to purge everyone that needs to go in order to fix this shitpile.
- Comment on How do I feel comfortable/safe going outside by myself after being so used to have parent(s) be with me outside most of my life? 4 months ago:
If you truly haven’t had exposure then really all there is to it is doing it and seeing that it’s okay. I wouldn’t want you to route through dangerous neighborhoods or near an ICE facility entrance or anything, but areas you’re familiar with visiting with your parents that aren’t too far away should be easy targets to talk to and get value from the independence traveling on your own affords you. It should be pretty motivating in itself to no longer have to run on other people’s schedules once you experience it.
