  First Michelle Trachtenberg and now the Pope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not just go back to 14 years with another optional 14 year renewal period if you are still alive.

  And of course corporations should not be able to hold copyright, only license it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, now that rich people want to break the law to create AI we should just make it legal for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walter Emanuel Jones reacts to Black and Yellow Power Rangers casting comments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking the same thing, but I’m way too white to suggest it.

  Yellow, in the other hand…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨p r e s s u r e⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The kind you get when you get them to the right temperature and pressure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Power isn't energy. The difference matters more than you may know. | Technology Connections⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The concept of Watt-hours was messing me up. I think I get it now.

  • Energy is the potential to do some work, measured in Joules.
  • Power is the rate at which work is done and is measured in Joules per seconds, i.e., Watts.
  • If you want to know how much energy something “uses”, multiply it’s power by how long it has been running.
    • e.g., something with a power of 100 J/s (i.e., 100 Watts) running for 10 s will use 1,000 Joules of energy.
  • For household use, Joules is not a very convenient unit, so we use Watt-hours (W•h) or kW•h, which is the number of Watts an appliance uses times the number of hours it runs. Watt-hours and Joules are both units of energy.
    • Watt-hours is not Watts-per-hour, i.e., it is not a rate. It means Watts-times-hours. If we break it down, we can convert back to Joules: W•h = (3600s•J) / s = 3600J.

  I hope I summarized it properly and didn’t make any math mistakes!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blobfish⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I don’t need to lose weight, I just need to live somewhere with 1,470 psi of pressure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has VC killed more value than it’s created?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve just hit the article limit with your free Sifted account

  Apparently the article limit is zero.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking the important questions.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was just gas!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also: "spend billions rescuing me, please"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

     MATT DAMON

  BEING MATT DAMON
  

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crossbow killer Kyle Clifford was 'fuelled' by Andrew Tate videos before rape and murders, court told⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised it’s rape if it’s “his Louise”.

  What the fuck?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Severance the new Lost?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just hope the ending is a bit more satisfying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tig ol bitties⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ackshully, “galaxy” (or rather, “galaxias”) means “Milky Way” already, it’s just a translation. It was less ambiguous when the only galaxy we could see was the Milky lights that covered a lot of our sky.

  Of course, we realize there’s more than one galaxy now, so the meanings have diverged.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always applies 75% of the time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I never click on a link before looking at the URL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chat, is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Best I can do is this: chal-chew-KLEE-kway

  With some help from Forvo. The [t͡ɬ] sounds like KL to my Canadian ears and not TL (which doesn’t happen at the start of syllable in English anyway).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  R and L are what are known as liquid consonants.

  They can be difficult to distinguish to the untrained ear (i.e., non-native speakers).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun God⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And if I work from home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun God⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Proof that light is a particle and not a wave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me want cookie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how many years old? Not sure why it’s being treated like news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smort⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tying intelligence to IQ seems like the left side to me. I’m still in the middle 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smort⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it? I’m still in the middle of the graph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't the deep state stopped trump?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s been supported by the deep state. The deep state is the money influencing politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You ain’t been high enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instant removal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And I get an upset stomach if I eat too much cabbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technically correct, the best kind of correct⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They wanted to know how to represent 6, but displayed upside down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Woden is “Odin” in English (which did autocorrect for me).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya, I’m just joking about apps, or especially scripts, not handling it properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mod of a similar comm to one I started deleted my advertising post, now downvotes half the stuff I post in my comm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like they might just be an asshole. Maybe remind them that all of their upvotes and downvotes are public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, those Windows directories might have a space in them and break things anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨moove on⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Canada we call them Texas gates.
