Yeah.
I have even seen them. Those machinely metal bones with multiple hinge and pivot joints hold the flimsy duralumin wings together while providing much needed actuation, using hydraulics. - Comment on Rule (repost) 1 week ago:
Wings without a structural element are pretty useless for flying.
Even mosquito wings have structural elements, enabling them to not only flap, but also rotate.For a human wing to work, it would require extremely strong structural elements to sustain the loads required to lift the human.

It took me seeing it free a mosquito from its web…

Hehe, that was an unintentional Nokia reference on my side.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I did the same for a while.
But then I recently found out a spider (which was getting pretty big) ignoring bloodless mosquitoes and letting them fill up on me before eating them. I cleaned it up. - Comment on 1 week ago:

I’m guessing “Grip 6” is a particular brand, but I have used buckles with grip action (on normal leather (or were they some fake leather? dunno but not nylon) belts without holes) quite a bit and I liked them.
Making your own holes in a holed belt might cause a greater structural weakness than it can handle, depending upon how tight you like it.
I recently got a knitted-ish belt (this is probably nylon or similar stuff) and you can insert the anchor at ~5mm intervals (thickness of the rope used to knit it) and that seems like a good idea too.

Reactors really could start paying for themselves.
Yeah, that should help them with their capital, storage costs and Hg procurement costs.

I was expecting it to be about GUI programs just waiting for an input.
Because when it hangs, it’s most probably either doing something long, or something that got elongated due to external factors, which ended up being programmed into the GUI thread. - Comment on We Have a Very Loving Relationship 2 weeks ago:

Oof sorry.
I realise now that how high I wear my trousers was actually everyone’s business and wearing it high enough that it didn’t hinder movement was actually humiliating you and is morally wrong.
And indeed, the pen in my school bag was your business, so was me trying to go out to study when you didn’t let me sleep and it was my bad to have respected the teachers instead of calling them names.
And of course, burning a smoky firecracker through the door of my 3x4 room was definitely not harassment, neither was banging my door and running away at random times, for a whole year and I was overreacting.Thanks for educating me.

There is another way to take this.
People should do what they want, even when they want to create fake morals that they themselves don’t believe in and then use them to gang up and harass others minding their own business.

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. - Comment on Body text 4 weeks ago:

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 4 weeks 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
VIBGYORto 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.

Yeah, kinda weir on that one.
It is surprising how people can be unreasonable when they are given the ability to. - Comment on Facts 4 weeks ago:
About the word, “safe” and how it is contextual.

Maybe someone ate it and got food poisoning?
- Comment on Facts 4 weeks 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 inunsafeterritory. - Comment on What Are You 4 weeks 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.
