This is epic on a DNA level.
- Comment on First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity 2 days ago:
It must’ve flew a few feet above the ground given that the only location was the airport.
- Comment on Water companies in England and Wales explore ‘surge pricing’ during drought 4 days ago:
Data centres getting surge pricing ja?
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 2 weeks ago:
That’s the trouble, just under 5000 deaths when you take away freak accidents (like the Japanese worker who was inundated with highly radioactive liquid) so those numbers must fall under a specific estimate.
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 2 weeks ago:
Quoting 5k deaths when Chernobyl was a single incident probably contributing to most of them.
- Comment on Your Cat Is Being Nice? Think Again. A new study finds that sometimes cats groom each other specifically to be annoying. 5 weeks ago:
I feel like almost every bit of research that comes out just proves cats are assholes.

You have to be infringing pretty hard to get content removed I bet.

I’ll take this. When we talk about daemons, these are often helpful spirits.

I think I’ve seen a few sea bass sing.

But can a dog organise your house, cook your food, educate your children and breastfeed your babies?

It’s going over my head

I don’t know what mouse you are using but my Logitech mouse has both the dongle and Bluetooth connectivity. The dongle is straight up connected as long as its plugged in.
- Comment on Can you see it? 2 months ago:
Infuriating but pretty cool
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I mean, to be fair the water pipe analogy is pretty good as the pressure performs work done per unit volume, and voltage is work done per unit charge which takes up a specific volume of the wire.
But you’re right, with A.C. that analogy gets complicated unless supposedly you had water going back and forth in the pipe, but that is still transmitting energy like a wave does.

An organic heat shield for spacecraft then.
- Comment on Why did the Crocodile Hunter die? Was he aggervating sting rays. I watched and messed with them in the gulf. But not one has ever try to sting me. Was he piising them off that much? 3 months ago:
From the wiki article:
The stingray, possibly mistaking Irwin’s shadow for a tiger shark, suddenly “propped on its front” and stabbed Irwin several times with its tail.
It is presumably the only known human death by stingray.
- Comment on Borders 3 months ago:
In Prometheus Rising, the comparison between politicians eking out borders is compared to animals rubbing feces and piss on trees.
- Comment on NASA scientists says astronauts should not masturbate in space 3 months ago:
Wrong attribution to NASA aside, I think all adults know that there is much more surface tension than water in errr…the rope. Thanks Raiderkev for that awesome rundown in the comments.

Well everything needs to be studied conclusively but wow.
- Comment on 22,000 students told to pay back 'mis-sold' maintenance loans 4 months ago:
Last bit of the article says the SLC characterises the weekend courses as distance learning.
The definition of distance learning is ‘online’. These students were being taught face to face.

“I said to the police, ‘it’s better safe than sorry’,” he said. “I’m not blaming the police, they were very nice with me. I was being nice with them, we work together. That’s why we pay our taxes so we keep ourselves safe.”
Again, I don’t think he took issue with being processed in handcuffs after being mistaken for a suicide bomber.
- Comment on 'I was exercising at the park - the next thing I knew snipers were aiming at me' 4 months ago:
Guy was running around in a vest that looked like a bomb vest, close to a Jewish community while in other countries they are being simultaneously threatened. You think they were going to end it there, by not taking him into the station and giving him a chance to make a statement for in case there’s some kind of pushback or worse, he gets targeted too?
He said they treated him well. I’ve been in handcuffs before (employer cancelled my visa in-country) and it’s not a big deal.
- Comment on 'I was exercising at the park - the next thing I knew snipers were aiming at me' 4 months ago:
It’s an incident that needed to be processed unfortunately.

Funny I was thinking this once
