I’m mostly a 5 occasionally a 4 with occasional flashes of 1 when reading a particularly immersive book.

The title of the song could be Another One Bites the Pillow and it wouldn’t really change the meaning of the song.

So, do you have sources for accurate numbers?
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 5 days ago:
I would love to see actual sources for this. On both sides.
Every time I’ve tried looking up numbers (usually because of a passing interest, and never any level of in depth research) I’ve come back with interesting tidbits like “the total number of cheaters banned in one month was greater than the total lifetime number of unique Linux users of the same game (sometimes an order of magnitude or more greater).” With that statistic being pretty consistent across games and time periods.

Or all Star Trek media released prior to 2009.
In a single sitting.
After 2009 it gets more hit or miss. There’s still a bunch of worthwhile stuff though.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 5 weeks ago:
My answer is also based on some pretty rounded figures and I’d had a few drinks before doing that math.
2 miles is roughly 3.2km. Honestly, the fact that I’m even within the same order of magnitude as the other answers is surprising.
- Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be? 5 weeks ago:
The volume of the Earth without surface water is 2.59x10^11 miles^3.
Earth’s surface water has a volume of 3.33x10^8 miles^3.
So, the depth of a surface ocean made up of all water on Earth would be approximately 2 miles.

You have to eat approximately 10 bananas for rdv of potassium.
rdv for potassium is 4500mg. A banana contains approximately 420-550mg of potassium.
While 70 bananas is probably not going to kill you, ld50 for potassium is 2500mg/kg, that much potassium can exacerbate some heart problems.

if you’ve ever had banana laffy taffy you’ve had the artificially created flavor of one.

That is correct. Neutron stars, white dwarfs, and stellar mass black holes (possibly intermediate mass as well) are all stellar remnants, ie star corpses.

Isn’t Pythagoras also the guy who believed that farts were the soul leaving the body?
And that beans were therefore toxic and related to death.

- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 2 months ago:
used to go once a month or so, but then covid lockdowns happened and the barber I liked actually complied with the regulations (which is a good thing), which made it more inconvenient than I though it was worth to get a haircut. At first I figured I’d go back once things started returning to normal, but then that took a while and I never did. So, I haven’t gotten an actual haircut in almost six years.
I did start getting the ends cleaned up every six months or so about a year ago though.

The minimum is about 80 Jupiter Masses. Smaller than that and you can’t start fusing.
Maximum size is harder to answer. It’s determined by the Eddington Limit. Which describes the luminosity at which radiation pressure is enough to overcome gravity for a certain mass.
It’s thought that the maximum mass of a star is somewhere around 150 solar masses, but there’s some evidence to contradict this, as we’ve seen a handful of very old stars with masses or luminosities higher than they should be.

Throw in British Columbia and Alaska while you’re at it. Just take the entire west cost of North America.
And what should be the east coast, since if the international date line didn’t do that weird curve at the end of the Aleutians, Alaska would be the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state.

Plenty of other dictators were way more effective mass murderers. I’d argue Hitler was middling at best.

I read “shoves it into the faces…” as “shaves it into the faces…” and the horror of the scenario was amplified as I imagined a crazed, naked, Greek witling a duck into some kind of fleshy Mount Rushmore.
- Comment on What are the differences between 1) probabillities, 2) possibillities, and 3) plausabillities? 4 months ago:
-
Probabilities - The mathematically determined chance that something will happen given a specific scenario.
-
Possibilities - The set off all things with a >0% chance of happening given a specific scenario.
-
Plausibility - The outcomes of a specific scenario, that when presented to a reasonable person, that person would determine that they are possible.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
One rule of thumb for cybersecurity is that if an attacker has physical control over your device for any period of time you should treat that device as if it is already compromised, because that is how generally easy it is to compromise something you have physical access to.
However, do you actually have reason to suspect your roommate of being an attacker? Just because they have a degree, a job, and maybe some level of skill doesn’t mean they have the motivation, lack of integrity, and criminal intent to actually carry out such an attack.
If you’re concerned about something like that, there are things you can do to mitigate risk, like setting start up passwords, using disk encryption, powering off devices you’re not actively using, and physically securing unattended devices. However, basically nothing you can reasonably do will stop a determined attacker if they live with you and thus have or can easily gain physical access to your devices.

- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 6 months ago:
With regards to Ciri’s age, she’s 21 during the main events in The Witcher 3.
At the end of the books she’s 17.
No idea if they’ll play down the salaciousness or not, but given when the game will likely take place that at least won’t be any issues with the main character being a minor.
