- Comment on If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react? 1 day ago:
People who look at timestamped data would notice immediately. Server logs, transaction logs, etc would all be missing a minute’s worth of data. Things that take a known amount of time would not be completed on time. Trains would be late, burritos would be under-microwaved, satellites would be in unexpected positions, etc. So some people would notice instantly, some may not notice at all.

- Comment on In the dark, does anyone else sense things but not see them? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe you’re picking up on how sound is bouncing off the object, kind of like a really weak form of echolocation, and your brain doesn’t know how else to present that information other than to give you a visual.

Hey, I feel your pain. Tall guys need bigger cars. I don’t know what circumstances led to you being stuck in a car that doesn’t fit you but I’ve been there too. I hope you find yourself in something more suitable in the near future. I was able to finally get into a vehicle I’m comfortable in a few years ago and it’s life changing. I’m driving an Expedition.

- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
I see your point, but my point is that each time the money changes hands, more of it will bubble up into the coffers of newly minted billionaires.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
If all the billionaires in the world instantaneously ceased to exist, and all their money were evenly distributed to everyone on earth, you would get a one time payment of about $1,769. Then what?
- Comment on If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? 2 months ago:
Maybe our types of thoughts are so primitive compared to them that they can’t even imagine that we’d have them.

- Comment on Why can't someone create a public alternative to health insurance in the USA? 2 months ago:
It’s technically possible but it would take a truly massive sum of money to get off the ground, and nobody is going to put up the capital knowing they’re not going to get a return on that investment. People don’t get the kind of money required to do this by making decisions like that.

Kids don’t even use radio. They don’t know what stations even are. Mine don’t even know what live TV is.

- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 4 months ago:
Consoles are easy, and I love my PS5 for chilling and playing games, and I love my Linux PC for its power and freedom from corporate bullshit.

I actually love it when people take things I put by the curb. I would much rather someone get use out of it than have it end up in a landfill.
- Comment on Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement 5 months ago:
It feels like PS3 was the biggest leap in technology. I loved my PS3, and had a ton of games for it. Since then it’s been incremental, faster loading times, incrementally better graphics, and such. The PS5 makes loading screens on Bethesda games tolerable to me

The term you are looking for to describe such a shape is technically “spherical polygon”. Triangles are impossible in speherical geometry since the sum of the angles would always be greater than 180°.

- Comment on If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore? 7 months ago:
When there is a scarcity of resources a population will shrink to sustainable levels. Right now there are too many people to share the scraps left from the billionaires hoovering up all the capital. People will stop having kids, others will die homeless, and population will decrease just as happens in any population of animals experiencing scarcity.

It’s possible that latex is used in the hypoallergenic pillow. These hypoallergenic pillows are designed to prevent dust mites from invading. Latex is sometimes used to seal the pillows and keep them out. Might want to look into it.
