  depends which part of rocketry theyre doing. no one can do everything. someone does combustion stuff, someone does fluid valves, someone does pumps, someone does turbines, someone does tanks, someone does harnessing, someone does electronics, someone does software, someone does aerodynamics, someone does structural analysis, someone does gnc, someone does gases, someone does sensors, someone does payloads, someone does testing, etc. no one has to learn all the math so its not like its really the most complex thing ever, just a delicate dance of cooperation. but yeah monkeys couldnt do it cause they cant talk, even if they understood the math somehow.

  i wish we could start making beautiful structures again. so much modern construction is the same soulless corporate boxes over and over with no consideration for human use of the space at all. just pure unadulterated real estate value maxing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Head⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i think i would choose the calf. its similar to the arm in terms of potential bleeding out, but it doesnt effect your ability to work lots of jobs or use your hands. the really big arteries in your legs that risk bleeding out are for supplying your thigh muscles so they dont go all the way down to your calves. best case its a flesh wound and you recover fully. worst case you lose your foot and lower leg. theres always the risk of losing anything that gets shot, whether from damage or infection, and id rather lose part of a leg than anything else.

  wow and they have the gall to tie it to online sexual material and neurodivergence. its almost like theyre teeing up a new reason to abuse autistic people and censor the internet.

  thats awesome news. it was getting annoying seeing so many hypervisor repacks showing up from fitgirl and not being able to play them because i refuse to use windows anymore. granted most of the games that use denuvo seem like mid AAA slop focused more on being pretty than fun, but theres a few that look like they might be good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's jobs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i stayed at my last job for a long time for similar reasons. then i got a manager that was kind of mid and i still stayed. it wasnt so bad i thought. then that manager started drinking the chatbot coolaid and offloading his cognition to it and became a bad manager very quickly. i held on for a while for my coworkers. i was the only person with the skills to fill my role which was critical to the project, but eventually i couldnt stand it for one more minute and quit without notice. leaving after sending my resignation email felt like escaping prison. i kept feeling like they were going to call me and somehow convince me to go back. when i started there i had a good manager and every day felt like a friday. its amazing how bad things can get with a bad manager.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmmm!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  just because we’re acting on information from the past doesn’t mean we arent still in the now. we just get all our data with a little lag. we still interact with the way things are now, even if it takes a little time for us to perceive it. in some ways we’re constantly operating in the dark, relying on our internal predictions about the world to get us through the short little delay before we can see what happened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ive always enjoyed The Man From Earth, a movie about a bunch of people sitting together in a room talking about one of them being a 14000 year old biologically immortal cave man. its such a fun idea and they spend almost the whole time just talking about it with no flash backs or anything. ill admit some of it is a little hokey. one time i watched it with a group of friends and one of them said he wished he could have the time back lol. i still really like it, just dont watch the sequel. its so stupid idk why they bothered to make it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  that would be so fucking cold. i bet you would injure yourself sticking a bunch of frozen stuff up your butt. idk if it would be serious or not but theres some sensitive tissue and a lot of blood flow through there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Cat Is Being Nice? Think Again. A new study finds that sometimes cats groom each other specifically to be annoying.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  like we dont love them for it. be honest youve pet a cat just to annoy them before. my cats definitely yell at me just to annoy me. when they do it i sometimes annoy them by picking them up and giving them lots of kisses or turning them upside down lol. the joy of living with cats is their complex personalities, and part of that is them being kind of an asshole sometimes, but turnabout is fair play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  its not actually more profitable though. its only more profitable today, at the expense of future profits. this is more a problem caused by personal gain being directly linked to short term corporate gain. its only rational behavior from the perspective of the individual executives benefitting from the crazy compensation packages for laying everyone off and enshittifying the product. literally everyone else loses unless they get lucky and bail at just the right moment.

  maybe someone should tell them we’re leaving it. it doesnt seem like theyre noticing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorbird⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i think it was more that they were all really big and couldn’t survive a massive resource restriction. we dont have the same problems, being omnivorous generalists who can eat pretty much anything. if something like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs happened to us a lot of us would die sure, but the species would survive. we could still get power from wind, dams, fossil fuels, and nuclear, and grow food indoors using grow lights. most people wouldnt make it but most likely enough would that wed still have a stable breeding population when the dust settled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radicality⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  we have hair all over our bodies. most of it is vellous hair though so it isnt as visible. we just have far less terminal hair than other primates, but the hair density isnt that much lower. as far as the head hair growing long, its not that its unnecessary its just for different purposes than most animal fur. head hair is primarily social, and people like people with long hair, so theres a social benefit to having nice head hair that can grow long. its so ingrained that being completely bald is socially isolating to some extent, especially for women.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨O hi⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this feels like one of those shrink wrapped dinosaur situations. like they arent doing a good job estimating how her soft tissue would have been distributed at all. why are her eyebrows so low, why are her cheeks so lean, why is there so much tissue below her lips, why is her hairline so high and with a bit of a widows peak? it feels like they put a mans tissue distribution on a womans frame completely uncritically and called it good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  evidently a lot of games dont compress their audio files at all, so a ton of data is wasted on that by itself. theres really no excuse for that because there are plenty of lossless compression algorithms and compressed files will often have faster loading times because the disk read speed is the limiting factor even with the added computational cost of the decompression. thats also true for all the other game files such as textures and meshes and whatnot, which are often also uncompressed.
