Panel 3 was pulled off so well, I actually felt a bit fuzzy before panel 4.

Terry Pratchett is pretty much the Tolkien of flat earth literature.

This is something I show students because they’re just morbid at high school age and I’m pretty morbid myself.
But no, I do black it out on the slideshow and give the antsy a chance to vacate the classroom.

I reckon you’re thinking of the neutrino which rarely interacts with matter.

So how about a bottle of dry ice?

Profit 😕
I agree CCTV is a bit invasive…depends on the tenants! If I were a landlord with some tenants of concern, I’d have washing machines facing away from CCTV so no laundry is on camera!
- Comment on Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life 2 months ago:
‘Free laundry machines’ could essentially be included in the rent, provided laundry machines are used properly and intentional damage paid for. I would be okay with CCTV being employed to ensure this. An extra $10 for water usage, and everyone uses their own detergent.
But does that make sense for capitalists?

I have a toddler and I hope to dear god there’s no lead about. She will lick anything.
- Comment on Chemists of Lemmy, how accurate is this likability table? 3 months ago:
Given the choice between licking mercury and licking lead, 96% of respondents answered with lead.
~Apologies for the random percentage and quoting fictional data~

Oh got it, thank you!
- Comment on Chemists of Lemmy, how accurate is this likability table? 3 months ago:
From my elementary knowledge of chemistry:
I had to go looking for Mercury and Lead and sure enough they look about right.
Anything in column 7 are desperate to rip electrons away from molecules so yes, permanent damage to your tongue and mouth.
Uranium is alright if you lick it once. A guy ate uranium cake once on TV.
The ‘Please reconsider’ lot seem to be a good way to die a horrible death by radiation.
Tc I believe is technetium which is radioactive and emits gamma rays, perhaps not soluable so stays in your body and you become gamma-man.

I thought you might be correcting me so I checked up the definition. Both are okay?
‘Composed of’ is a better sounding phrasing though.
- Comment on How did gravity worked on the Death Star? 3 months ago:
Thanks, I believe I was being lazy to not want to deal with averaging the density of various rocks, but your suggestion about the density of soil is a good one.
- Comment on freezing point curves 3 months ago:
Chemistry and Physics combined make very interesting ‘resonances’ in molecular behaviour. That’s as educated a guess I may make.
- Comment on How did gravity worked on the Death Star? 3 months ago:
I don’t deny the star wars universe is getting a bit more of an update in the cinemas, especially post-Interstellar and whatnot, but space opera in the 80s was really intent on ignoring the stark reality of space for both constraints of filming and viewership. Goddamn fun though.
- Comment on How did gravity worked on the Death Star? 3 months ago:
I know we’d all like some scientific actualisation of Star Wars but I mean:
- They made noise in space 'cause that’s fun.
- There was always gravity on pretty much any ship.
- I don’t really recall any spacewalks so we don’t see any instance of 'no gravity’
- There’s hyperspace since lightyears is a bit of a long time.
- Stormtroopers seem very scientifically and inefficiently accurate
At this point I think the Star Wars movies (the oldies) pretty much ignored a fair bit of the science.
But if it was a death star literally put there in our universe, I think there would be a bit of structural considerations for gravity, but not huge due to it being quite hollow. Gravity is pretty strong when the sphere is entirely comprised of dense rock and no air. A mostly hollow sphere of air where air is something close to 1/1000 that of rock (yes, used the density of water lol) is not going to get much of a rollicking from gravity.

One article suggests that:
Although the leading speculation for this relationship implicates stressors that are unique to these relationships, the current study suggested that this phenomenon is mostly due to characteristics of individuals with whom those in interracial relationships are more likely to be coupled.
So the conclusion of the research suggests it’s not a racial characteristic. It’s much more nuanced.

Now try calculating the density of some of the lattices.

Yep. When I wanted to transfer files between phone and computer I had to try out 3 cables before I found one that was data capable.

So Xbox bought the studio about 3 years ago and then just went ‘nah, not profitable.’ Fuck Xbox.
- Comment on Progress can be seen in all parts of life 4 months ago:
To be fair though, part of the passengers were a father & son participating in a sort of father & son trip in which the son was adamant that he didn’t want to go down in the submarine. He was literally scared. But the father dragged the son down with him, and sadly the son perished inside something he feared.

If free speech requires everyone who makes a statement or belief to engage in debate about it, I don’t believe it would work very well.
- Comment on Roblox Studio boss: children making money on the platform isn't exploitation, it's a gift 6 months ago:
I saw the video posted by gamma on this thread and the general summary I got from the video is that:
- For the immense time and expertise these children are putting into the game, they get a very small cut. And their social life and education will probably suffer so hey!
- A job comes with security and rights. These children get no rights as they are not on contract.
- There are predators on Roblox which the company is overlooking (as they are making huge games there, like the Sonic the Hedgehog Roblox game).
It’s a very grey area that isn’t regulated well.

Star Ocean Second Evolution for me, faithful port of the original PSX RPG. It’s very good, but if you do play it, it is worth researching which two skills help you power through the game lol.
