  Brazil doesn’t have life sentences, but seizing workers passports is a sure way to get a condemnation for “slavery-like” work conditions and a matching prison sentence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Considering the old model is made with shrink-wrapping this is viable option⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. Now cover it in huge colorful feathers.

  (Don’t let the fact that it’s wrong stop you.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a long century⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That person has some kind of problem. Or a time machine. Who are they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Into the meat grinder!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d restrict it to the 2010s to be sure. But it varies from one specialty to another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMEN⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a burner at the end. And a nicely designed foot that fits under things and isn’t too unstable.

  I honestly don’t know what of this he invented and what we just standardized after the fact. In fact, all of the 3 elements are different from the one I have and the one on the image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a s c e n t i o n⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hum… Galileo would like a word about that…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be wary about learning history from a professional gold bug.

  Somehow, all the civil wars, popular unrest, and separatist movements aren’t even mentioned. And Spain did learn a lesson about that “less gold and silver entering Rome is the real problem” thing a thousand years later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nominative Determinism is my middle name⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While I don’t necessarily understand the finer points of the meme

  None of those things are named after the properties the meme points out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And there’s no study to be found there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[XKCD] Pascal's Law⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but it’s way easier to add more fluid to an hydraulic system than it is to add travel distance to a pulley or size to a lever. So we kinda break that rule by adding a little bit of movement again and again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The clueless people are out there among us⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Brazilian plug has none of those problems…

  Also, what European plug are you talking about? There are quite a few models there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whenever a beast is shown on screen⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hum… Owls and tigers know how to make a lot of noise too. We don’t really know if the tyrannosaur is hunting or just trying to get ride of the people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People will adjust. What happened on Portugal and Spain was caused by excessive centralization of the power grid, not by digitization. If somehow we can’t keep the centralized grid running anymore, we will break it down, and bear the extra costs for that.

  Also, the sequence of a catastrophe is almost never a riot. Where do people get the idea of riots? People just go and do the right thing.

  Seriously, has none of the politicians ever thought about this?

  The technicians did.

  Where are the backups?

  You mean generators? Lots of people have those.

  Are we just going full “YOLO” on the reliance on the power grid?

  I would understand this question if you lived in 1925, but by 2025 you should know the answer already. Are you so blind about everything that needs electricity that you think disaster would come from the lack of money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🔪🔪🔪⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not wasps. The majority of wasps you’ll see are fertile.

  Also, insect hives can house several fertile females. Some exist around a single queen, but they are an exception, not the norm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure the OP meant hydrogen hydroxide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*slap slap slap*⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The FBI was too busy going after judges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Devil⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Goats have a goatee, goat-feet, a perceptible smell, horns, and sound like an evil laugh. Also, they have a nasty habit of taking people by surprise in places no sane people would imagine a large animal could be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨unnecessary expense⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The board of directors removes the obvious corruption argument.

  Hum… Not exactly, but it does shift the burden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨space weather⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Every 11 years or so, they go away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aussie Fauna⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I always wondered if the toxin didn’t kill the bacteria.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hum, no. It’s widely believed that the amount of matter + energy in the universe changes all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like you are from the US.

  As much as “left” and “right” carry any meaning anywhere, in your country those words have been redefined to the point they are completely meaningless.

  If you have any left-leaning organized political movement, it never makes the news. You only have extreme right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kawaiiiiiii⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, the ability to see very far away does imply in very large eyes if you define “see” by properly focusing on the objects. But not large pupils, what matters is the size of the eyes lenses, on the bare front of them.

  But no, he could be able to perceive those stuff without the larger eyes if he had a good mental model of how the horsemen interfere with the background (what is probably easier than it seems, because would be moving), and how their hair would interfere with the previous outline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LC vibe check⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Frequency-dependent connectors could work, but would be seriously counter-intuitive to work with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LC vibe check⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On gold connectors… Are you afraid your signal will reflect back into the antenna? Do people really do that?

  But yeah, also you can make sure it resonates on the correct frequency by mechanically adjusting it and looking for the feedback.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make gravity your bitch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it’s the obvious extension from what we have now, and quite coherent for explaining some universe that isn’t the one we live in.

  It just shouldn’t have monopolized theoretical physics for a generation. It’s really hard to imagine something different, but this is even more reason to celebrate the people trying that, not to shun then and focus on what you already have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make gravity your bitch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, a song from the time superstrings were still cool?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come study linguistics!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or machine learning. Pick your poison.

  Or be like Chomsky and despise both while you secretly create papers on those areas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will the tariffs lead to a recession?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they are too late for that.

  They could if Trump picked another other to implement his policies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, as you said, they aren’t a new concept. We have plenty of evidence, of countries that tried that again and again. We know what he is doing is stupid.

  Besides, your theory on tariffs won’t even get to be tested. Kidnapping people at random on the street and sending them to concentration camps has an overwhelmingly larger impact on the economy than the tariffs. People from outside of the US will only focus at this if you start to invade other countries, but at this point, nobody inside the US should be concerned with tariffs, at all.
