- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 13 hours ago:
This culture looks down on sexual assault (rightfully so), but it glorifies violence in many cases.

Oh yeah, I must have read that wrong somehow 🤔

I have a friend who had an iPhone 3 until 3g got shut down 18 months ago. You don’t need to buy into the constant update cycle.

Who cares? If it matters to her, she’s right. If it matters to you… Why? And what are you gonna do about it?
- Comment on Should people report AI music channels on Youtube? 1 week ago:
Seems unlikely considering who it’s owned by
- Comment on Why Ireland? 1 week ago:
That’s Spain in the top right too?
I’m guessing he didn’t know where any of those countries are, and just asked for a picture of Europe being blown up
- Comment on Prolly won;t word this correctly. But when did the idea of a woman subservient to a man begin? And how come it seems its lasted longer that most relgions? 1 month ago:
Church out the history section of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarchy
Short version seems to be: it’s not older than agriculture.

- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 1 month ago:
Education isn’t just learning knowledge, it’s also skills and thinking. But it is usually restricted to a limited domain…
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 months ago:
There will be some corals that survive, and some that migrate poleward or into deeper water. But yeah, large reef ecosystems are definitely screwed at +2°C, and probably even at +1.5°C (it’ll take some time though).

Mmm. I would guess that the difference between 5 degrees colder than now and 5 degrees hotter than now is quite different for human physiology. There will certainly be places some of us can still live, but lots of equatorial places will become uninhabitable

Use less fossil fuels. We have the technology to have electrified public transport, for instance. We just don’t have the political will or the financial backing. This is not really a problem that scientists are well equipt to solve.

They are trying, but… I was at a talk by a leading coral reef scientist last year, he said it would if it worked well, doing enough of it to maintain the Great Barrier Reef would cost on the order of ten trillion dollars a year…

What? When?
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 months ago:
We definitely still use the term climate change.

Climate scientist here: what is there to reconcile? Slowing and eventually stopping warming is definitely possible, even inevitable, the question is just when and how fast we can do it, and what the repercussions are. Every fraction of a degree warmer is worse, so we should be taking as much mitigation action as fast as we can. Mitigating earlier is better than adapting later.

That’s the setup for the joke
- Comment on Huh? 4 months ago:
Why is hanging out for a long time bad, as long as you continue drinking?
- Comment on Huh? 4 months ago:
My personal conspiracy theory is that bars have bad acoustics so that you have to shout, so that you get a sore throat, so that you feel like you need to drink more.

Yeah, best politics of any centralised social media by a long shot.
- Comment on WHY??? 5 months ago:
The movement (kinetic energy) is the driver with the atmospheric patterns. There’s no movement in the honey comb.

Unrelated though - that’s a packing efficiency thing.

Presumably to do with vibrations at a harmonic of the RPM?

Standing wave. Earth kind of has one in the jet stream (3 peaks and troughs though, usually), but you can’t see it with visible light.

It’s true! It’s a relatively minor complaint really. Let me pivot: fuck social norms around early starts 😅
