Woops, you right. Didn’t read carefully enough. I’ll add the answer in an edit.

They jam the acorn in hard enough that you have to break the acorn to get it out. If they put it in too small a hole, though, it breaks and rots. Too big a hole and they get taken.

Sure, he’s a scumbag. His math makes sense here, though. You can be right sometimes.

Rep. David Schweikert gave a speech on the floor in the beginning of february regarding the federal debt. He pointed out that 52 billion in spending cuts only covers about a week of the borrowing we’re planning to do for the budget.
All these cuts to critical infrastructure and we’re only shaving off the very tip of our federal debt, while adding a mountain more of it.

The actual containment methods are programming a script to do the calculations. Some calculations take thousands of smaller steps that you would lose your mind doing. Finite Element Analysis comes to mind. The number of nodes one might use for FEA today would make doing the calculations by hand mind numbing.

You cut out a portion at the beginning that may be relevant depending on how one defines Fascism (as academia never fully and completely agreed on the definition).
Duvos is an antagonistic force that collects destructive Old World weaponry in an effort to conquer the world,[1] though it has yet to be directly seen in the My Time series. Duvos is known for having smog, an unusual sight above most other civilizations since the end of the Age of Corruption[2].
However, I think the stronger argument against Divas being Fascist is further down.
The economy of Duvos is significantly impacted by its agricultural challenges. During a conversation between Duvos Soldiers and Mort and Zeke, the soldiers from Duvos reveal that their homeland suffers from harsh weather and scarce sunlight, leading to low crop yields. This suggests that the Empire’s aggressive militaristic stance may be driven, in part, by the need to secure resources, especially food. One soldier shares a personal note about his sister aspiring to be a botanist, aiming to address the nation’s food scarcity. The conversation hints at a hope that if Duvos could resolve its agricultural issues, the need for conflict might diminish.
Duvos being domineering due to suffering from a food shortage seems more colonialist out of necessity than out of a fascist ideology. At the same time, without actually seeing the country’s inner workings, it’s hard to say.
Here’s a way back link to the game’s lore, as cited in the wiki.

It’s North America from an upside down perspective.

Trying to wrap my head around how incromprehensively large even just our sun is always makes me feel dizzy.
We are not even a pale blue dot to most of the universe, and when we disappear nothing will know or remember us.

It’s not really ever an issue to rebind keys manually, it’s just time consuming. The point of auto-rebind would be time saving for nonstandard keyboard users.
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 1 week ago:
It is still a mystery to why no one ever created software that can automatically pull videogame input config files and rebind for other layouts. I guess it is somewhat niche. At the same time, input config files are all pretty similar and it sounds fairly straightforward as a project.

My understanding is that Libre Office is the closest to actually being a good replacement to Excel. Having used Libre Office’s Excel equivalent, it does not feel good to use (then again, neither did Excel).
I’m not sure if we’ll ever be able to replace the Microsoft office suite - Microsoft owns the rights to those softwares’ workflow paradigms IIRC, and people who have been taught those workflows are not going to abandon them. I mean, we’ve not even managed to move away from the staggered qwerty layout that was established for typewriters in the 1870’s. I think the only options are for schools to either adopt new paradigms (using opensource software as teaching tools) over mass adoption in industry.

Nah. Knowing that someone has fucked 100 people, what this 4chan user is talking about, just tells you that that person does not view sex and relationships as a single thing.
You only get a body count that high by doing one-offs, where you are just looking for sex and aren’t trying to turn it into a relationship. That tells you nothing about how good a partner they will be once they actually enter one.
This assumption that sex should only happen between partners in a relationship is exactly why people jump into self-destructing relationships instead of waiting for a person they actually vibe with.
- Comment on gigadee 2 weeks ago:
A relationship is not special because you fuck. It is special because you’re with a person you mesh well with. No amount of fucking will save a relationship that is not built on mutual compatibility.

Alright. Just a guess here, but the instructor put the hat on the gator. My thought is that they were attempting to use their hat as an impromptu blinder so they could wrangle it. Instead, however, the gator could still see, didn’t like what was going on, and bailed.

Huh, just got done watching “The Free State of Jones” and that checks all these boxes.
I doubt OP’d hold it against that film, though.

It’s mostly just a way of communicating be bizarre nature of infinite series and other problems related to infinity. Just fun thought experiments.

Honestly pretty aesthetic way to write the ‘t’. Bet it feels great too.

I think the best way to understand the Planck length is to understand how we came to Planck’s constant in the first place. Science girl has a good video on it (she shared today that she’s getting better, which is fantastic news)

Classic creepypasta. It’s this one, the search and rescue stories, and I think there’s another that slips my mind right now.
