- Comment on Chinese Maglev test vehicle sets world record, accelerating from 0 to 318 MPH in 2 seconds 1 week ago:
Okay, again, I agree this is not in the slightest practical, but also, again, a train accelerating is not vertical g, horizontal g tolerance is much, much higher than vertical g tolerance, especially “eyeballs in” and it increases greatly the less time it is for. Some early experiments showed untrained people could handle around 20g for less than 10 seconds. Also blunt force risks could be mediated almost completely by ramping the acceleration slowly, first reminding people to brace, then gently forcing them back in their seats. Again, ludicrous, nothing designed for comfort of human passengers is ever going to be designed to accelerate anywhere near that quickly and it’s completely unnecessary anyways.

Lol I was certainly not claiming this was practical, just pointing out it wouldn’t be lethal in that sense.
- Comment on Chinese Maglev test vehicle sets world record, accelerating from 0 to 318 MPH in 2 seconds 1 week ago:
Only 2 seconds of horizontal g? Not unless they weren’t securely against the seat and died due to blunt force trauma from being slammed into the seat back.

It is unfortunate that a great part of the internet enshittified so intensely and rapidly. Spez appears to be a bad person, it is also unfortunate that so many people refuse to migrate to better platforms. Let’s not make our whole identities being mad about it.

There are a million efficient ways to make heat and tons of new development to be made in making heat in new ways. There is relatively very little development in turning heat into kinetic energy and then electricity when size and weight are no object. The combined cycle turbine is incredibly efficient and is likely to continue to be ubiquitous in power generation for some time.

I think they are classified in the plant kingdom by most if not all, I was being sloppy with my terms. They are very different from what we think of as plants typically though, seaweed is a colony of single celled organisms more than “a plant”
- Comment on zingiberales 1 month ago:
Seaweed is a type of macroalgae. It’s debatable if algae count as plants or not, they are photosynthetic but are in many ways their own weird form of single celled organism

Seaweeds aren’t even plants…

Lol it looks like that because it’s glowing from heat (probably heat it is producing through radioactivity) it looks like pretty much any metal, just like uranium. Uranium compounds are super pretty though, plutonium probably too if anyone was nuts enough to make dyes with it.

Yeah it’s not super well researched, but ingestion and inhalation dosages can be extremely different. Hence you’d likely be the subject of a case study as it would be a significant addition to the medical literature on tomatine toxicity in humans.
- Comment on Go Green 2 months ago:
I cannot recommend enough to NOT smoke nightshades, the fact that they contain microscopic amounts of nicotine is somewhat offset by the OTHER alkaloids.
- Comment on Go Green 2 months ago:
They contain the mildly to moderately toxic alkaloid tomatine lol, you’re gonna become a medical case study if you smoke the leaves.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 months ago:
Used to be? This is still common in many industries and localities.
- Comment on See ya. 2 months ago:
It was specifically a contrast on the colonizer mindset that was common both in culture and literature at the time. Showing a bunch of useless british aristocrats coming to “savage lands” and rather than taming the land they were shown that without their wealth and power and being taken care of by competent natives and labourers they became the savages they claimed to be inherently divinely better than.
- Comment on See ya. 2 months ago:
I both dislike the book and dislike this comic for missing the actual point of the book, which is not in fact, haha, this is what would actually happen and it’s just a group of random kids. It was specifically portraying british aristocratic children to criticize the colonizer mindset while discussing larger issues of human nature amd civility and structure vs chaos.

I have jellyfin for movies/tv because there isn’t a more convenient option available. I am not going to VPN from my phone or anywhere to home to play music when Tidal is available.

Okay, but I can access my full library from anywhere at full quality from multiple devices, I have several 5,000 plus song playlists with little to no overlap between a few of them and I have had CDs lost or stolen and had drive failures delete digital libraries. But sure.

Those aren’t life threatening vitals, they are just not healthy vitals. If you introduce a wild new experimental procedure to someone already unhealthy holding steady is a good thing, they aren’t crashing. Those are fairly standard vitals for say, someone with covid requiring hospitalization but hopefully not yet intubation, or someone with pneumonia or emphysema.
