- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 3 days ago:
“can be” ⇏ “has to be”
And it’s not fiction that sets high standards, but the people watching it, that are doing so.
Now you may say that the people are setting those standards only because they are watching said stuff.
But that is just rephrasing, “the people watching fiction are incapable of having their own imagination”.Back in school, I had a classmate that had a much greater height than others, due to steroid usage.
Now if you say that his parents did that because they watched “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, I’ll say it was not released yet and I have no reason to believe that they bought comic strips from another country and went ahead and made a ‘gag’ piece a basis for their standards. - Comment on ✅✅✅ 6 days ago:
Make sure to make a video.
If you can also write an article, you can call it ‘science’

Forget combat, how many times have you nearly missed slipping and falling while climbing stairs because of imperfect foot placement?
Well, for when you actually and up being in a bad enough position to slip, you get to save yourself, positioned perfectly for the next stride. - Comment on No brainer 1 week ago:
We all have free gravel.
And that is why we don’t get any other ability.Oh yeah, you need to transport it yourself though.
You will find it on roadsides, clogged-up open drains, hilly areas, riverbeds etc. - Comment on No brainer 1 week ago:
If I were to lose my ability to walk, would I choose:
- ability to maybe walk, maybe like an old man, maybe not
- ability to teleport along with my stuff, 7" per thought
On the other hand, maybe I can only teleport once, for when I take the pill. That might end up being pretty useless for this case.

What about Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals and Transition Metals.

Well, maybe if you are covered with petrol (gasoline) and you stick it in long enough for the bottom of the handle to get hot enough to ignite it.
Of course, that is assuming that the Voltage is high enough to get the metal hot enough before the petrol evaporates away. - Comment on Who is the enemy? 2 weeks ago:
The trick is to occasionally let some fires through, just enough to let the users feel the heat before fixing them.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 2 weeks ago:
Well, I have seen drains clog up so bad that the parapets act like a bowl and capture the ~1m of water with the roof still staying mostly intact (although seepage would have greatly increased there), so something other than my calculations is holding up that roof.
So I guess one would have to rely on the melting-refreezing to break down the roof, considering that without the phenomenon, the ice would be pretty fluffy and light.

snow load
Now I am kinda curious about how heavy snow can get.
I live in a snow-less flat-roofed region and the load capacity seems to be ~1.5 kN/m² ^[engineeringtoolbox.com/simply-supported-slabs-loa…]. So, even the cheapest compliant (maybe I should be checking govt. docs for compliance values) building not designed for snowfall should be able to manage 15cm of rain/snow.
Well, that is much lower than the 1m of snow that I would expect building up in case it really snows and it could get higher considering the parapet walls tend to ~1m high.

It would be nice to have a 300dpi 3D printer.

Might as well get one of the printers used by the national mint, to print your constellation.

On the other hand, transporting strike-breakers to another star system pays considerably well.

- Comment on Has cancel culture gone too far? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah.
I would think of hitting Abel with a rock as being the most anti-Abelist thing and still, for some reason, it is considered Abelist? Very weird. - Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 3 weeks ago:
What if I had an unregistered fork?
What if 3 out of 4 of its prongs were broken? - Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, considering that the TV has enough noise to be heard by the human ear, it doesn’t seem far fetched that specialised equipment can tell much more about it.
- Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 3 weeks ago:
You get a free streaming service along with it (bbc iplayer) which is far better than the likes of Netflix.
Nice. Hope that stays for long

But then that lets people socialize using the game without the company being able to harvest their data.

Neither did Playstation from what I remember
- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 2 months ago:
It’s just literally an average online experience.
I am going to refute that claim as I don’t see monitors falling out of windows everyday.
And I am pretty sure people are doing “online” stuff. - Comment on Anon does some online shopping 2 months ago:
Imagine having to navigate that site to buy a new monitor, without a monitor.

Not used widely enough with that intent yet, though. - Comment on I require nothing more 2 months ago:
Don’t use that mop thing. Takes the fun out of it.
Get a cloth, hold it in a good shape on the floor with you hands, put a bit of your weight on it and start running straight forward.
You save on the Gym membership and get to do something much more fun than sitting on synthetic leather and moving a dumb-bell up and down, slowly.
- Comment on I require nothing more 2 months ago:
Needs more HDDs.
And more screens.I’m hoping there is an HVAC outlet not in view and the whole room has UPS.
- Comment on Chemistry is weird 2 months ago:
Ionic bonded compounds such as NaCl, when in water, interact with other ions around them.
Even other Na^+^ and Cl^-^ ions… - Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 months ago:
But that “Peter” guy told me to “eat veggies” when I asked him how he managed to easily and acrobatically evade that incoming high speed vehicle! Why didn’t he tell me to “eat meat” instead?
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 months ago:
I don’t eat meat (mostly a taste thing), but I’d definitely gift it to a nearby chap doing a bbq after the smack.
Not to waste something that could become food, right? - Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 2 months ago:
The dude is just staying alert in case another one comes to the dude, trying to do the same thing as the original one.
Seems like the dude would do the same to any other kind of organism trying the same thing on the dude (perhaps you can try biting the dude’s neck to see if you get the written reaction).I’ll call that immunisation.

Electric cars don’t own credit cards, yet.
You want to charge the credit card of the car’s owner.
