Steamed is my default method of cooking broccoli.
I cut the stalk up for soup and pasta. Then I lightly steam the florets and I like it.

No. We’re having a barbecue over at blue base later, want to come?

The new version uses Stan who will judge you silently for not knowing what you’re doing.
He also gives you mysterious C++ compilation errors to keep things interesting.

You’re allowed to not show your work, you just have to write either “this is left as an exercise to the reader” or “it is trivial to show that …”

I bought that blu ray for $1 and it was well worth it.
Excellent bonus features about Roman society! Also IRL Commodus was wayyy more bonkers than I expected, yet Caligula and Nero are the ones we talk about as crazy.

I skimmed that link and it’s pretty interesting, I’ll have to spend more time on it. I definitely liked the part at the end about God being the observer in this context, so what’s a day to him.
- Comment on Eat lead 1 month ago:
Thanks for that
I don’t see why God must be incompatible with evolution or the Big Bang or really any of science. God created us to be clever, surely that includes using logic and science to learn about the world.
Personally I’m agnostic and I try not to judge people. I do judge people who dismiss science and decide faith alone is better.

Also this doesn’t say anything about the Earth.
Plus you can’t keep give a liberal reading of the bible to be:
- god created the heaven and the earth. God created the heavenly bodies.
- God created the sky - earths atmosphere and climate
- God separates oceans - creates continental forms, and plant based life
- God creates the moon and sun and stars. This one seems out of order to me… maybe just the earth and solar system stabilize. I don’t know how pll ok ants exist without the sun, so maybe it’s microbes or something.
- God creates birds and sea creatures. Maybe birds are dinosaurs.
- God creates modern land animals, then creates man and woman. That makes sense, mankind is certainly new with only a few hundred thousand years of records before civilization starts.
That doesn’t have to imply the earth is 4000 years old. Even the original wording could be read as eon instead of day.

That would violate the laws of thermodynamics, you can’t create more energy in a closed system.

I suspect they couldn’t replicate dilithium because they’d be consuming dilithium, converting it to energy, then converting that energy back to dilithium.
The laws of thermodynamics state that this would be inefficient.
- Comment on I'm a reasonably well educated human living on Earth. What's to stop me from replicating starship parts until I can make my own Starfleet? 2 months ago:
- Extreme amounts of energy needed for large items, but it seems like Earth has transporter quotas, so presumably they enforce energy budgets (based on DS9 Sisko using his transporter budget)
- Not all materials like latinum can be replicated
- Materials like dilithium are seemingly not viable to replicate, probably due to it being an incredibly wasteful process
- Many dilithium byproducts are unstable controlled substances, so at some point Starfleet would interfere to prevent the creation of trilithium or other unstable substances.
- I don’t know if you need antimatter, but I don’t think you could replicate it. You could replicate the machinery needed to produce it though.
- The Federation does have industrial replicators but they seem to be treated as controlled assets they rarely give out or provide access to. So they might meddle if you start building these.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 2 months ago:
Same here, was on Reddit since 2010.
I remade an account because some of my communities aren’t big enough here. But the quality of interaction through the fediverse is much much better.
For sports, Reddit has utterly ruined them because in the app they show the results for every F1 Grand Prix as soon as the race finishes in an unremovable “trends” tile. I often can’t watch live, and so I had almost every race this season spoiled.

Thank you, that makes much more sense.
I was wondering what machinations had to happen in order for a 20 year old substandard animated movie to make #2 on the sales charts.

Do you guys have to memorize fluorine too?
It’s been a decade since I took chemistry, and I did not get very good marks in it, but it seems like the elements at the bottom of the table (with exception to Uranium and Plutonium) are just hanging out while the top elements do all the work.
