  Even if someone spat spit, I won’t want to stand in front of them.

  And I thought people would know that green colour is used for friendlies and red for enemies 🙂‍↔️

  Oh wait… I chose AMD over Intel and nVidia 🤦

  Aren’t there already regulations for casinos and the like?
  Might as well apply the same to these. Then all lootbox games will become adult only.

  You can also mix diced onions with corn kernels, and spray some lemon an black pepper on top and it would be good to eat.
  Although I find raw onion to be too strong to eat in such proportions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bumper sticker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was trying to be funny, but the 2 are related as in they are opposite cases of the same underlying phenomenon.

  The sticker itself is red, so the joke is saying you must be travelling at some fraction of the speed of light to see the sticker as red and if you were going slower it would appear blue.

  I’m not sure if you actually understand it and just did a brainfart while typing, or actually don’t understand it well, so I’ll just explain…

  • In both cases (redshift and blueshift), you need to be going fast enough relative to the sticker for either of them to happen in any noticeable way. Although it still happens even if you are going only 1 cm/s
  • The sticker is red and you will see it being red if you are not moving relative to the sticker. i.e. if the car is parked and you are just standing behind it, it will be red (don’t take my word for it. Go stand in front of a red thing and look at it to find out that you see red colour)
  • If you are going away from the sticker, you will observe a redshift. And since the sticker is red (let’s assume for simplicity that it is the reddest of red (whatever that would mean)) the redshift will make it go infrared and hence you won’t be able to see it with human vision.
  • If you are going towards the sticker, you will observe a blue shift and you can use the crude, but useful VIBGYOR to deduce that if you are not fast enough to see Blue, you can expect to see either of Orange, Yellow, Green.
  • This effect is similar to the phenomenon that occurs to sound. i.e. when a car comes towards you with the horn continuously blowing, you will hear a higher pitch and when the car with the horn blowing is going away from you, you hear a lower pitched horn sound. The reason this is more easily observable with sound, is because sound in air is slow enough for us to notice this.

  No, it has to do with blueshift.

  Yes you can

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I cannot imagine what lawsuit led to this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, kinda weir on that one.
  It is surprising how people can be unreasonable when they are given the ability to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  About the word, “safe” and how it is contextual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I cannot imagine what lawsuit led to this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe someone ate it and got food poisoning?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends upon what you want to be safe from.

  If you want to be safe from having a flash mob come and beat you up, I’d say, this assumption doesn’t really compromise your safety.
  If you want to be safe from having the wrong assumption, well, you are deep in unsafe territory.

  I also hate all the misinformation surrounding Ivermectin, horse vets use it for horses’ sake, shits safe as long as you don’t abuse it.

  Happy cake day.

  I’m not late according to my timezone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone has a LOT of dusty computers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only recreational use of N~2~O I know of is to add a tank of it in a car and pipe it into the fuel mixture.
  And even that seems kinda snake-oily to me.

  From what I remember, it had gotten pretty doable by the time I stopped using Word, with 3 ways to fit with text.

  Those space construction startups know what they’re doing. They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.

  Guess I should have gone CHA instead of INT.
  I might have gotten some of that billionaire money to buy more RAM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiribati ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s it!
  Been so many years since I last read/heard that word that all I could recall was “stillets”, which is not a word and looking it up only got me to “stilettos”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiribati ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless you are someone exceptionally good at walking with long leg-sticks (I don’t know the appropriate name for that) and have someone to make an over-engineered leg-stick for this purpose.

  Usually, I assume darker blue to be deeper waters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ya yeet!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I initially started de-upvoting just because it felt weird to have a blue marker on my own comment, which was supposed to be for other’s comments that I upvoted. It then evolved into having a “reason” behind it. But yeah, it just seems weird to upvote one’s own comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ya yeet!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, first you need to define a “person”.
  Then you need to define the starting point and what all environmental features you are considering as zero cost.

  Otherwise, to calculate energy to kill a person, you need to start by creating the universe.

  On the other hand, for a human person, you can either just get a really big syringe and siphon out blood from the heart, or pierce a thin little metal pipe with tactically placed holes, which will let gravity and internal blood pressure do the job. But these require access to a syringe/metal pipe making setup, which has its own energy costs.

  Make sure to get her id first. You can then send her a SIGSEGVto get her dumped and then use coredumpctl to recover her dump.
  Even better if her debug symbols are available.
