Remember to put the fire on your pets out before entering the building, and you are good.
- Comment on More than 90% of JPMorgan employees reported a decline in morale following RTO 1 week ago:
Your sentiment is on the right direction, but statistical significance and effect intensity are only indirectly related and one does really not imply much about the other.
- Comment on p is for pHunky 1 week ago:
All those words have the same meaning.
- Comment on Brazil sues China carmaker BYD over 'slave-like' conditions 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks ago:
Good. Now cover it in huge colorful feathers.
(Don’t let the fact that it’s wrong stop you.)

That person has some kind of problem. Or a time machine. Who are they?
- Comment on Into the meat grinder! 3 weeks ago:
I’d restrict it to the 2010s to be sure. But it varies from one specialty to another.
- Comment on AMEN 3 weeks 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.

Hum… Galileo would like a word about that…
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks 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.

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." 5 weeks ago:
And there’s no study to be found there.
- Comment on [XKCD] Pascal's Law 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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?

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.

Pretty sure the OP meant hydrogen hydroxide.

- Comment on The Devil 2 months 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.

The board of directors removes the obvious corruption argument.
Hum… Not exactly, but it does shift the burden.

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

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? 2 months 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 2 months 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.

Frequency-dependent connectors could work, but would be seriously counter-intuitive to work with.
- Comment on LC vibe check 2 months 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 2 months 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.

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