Seeing things counts as something hitting you: photons.

Momentum is conserved when passing through a portal. In the reference frame of the out portal, the object has no momentum, so it plops out.

Moron has obviously had no “exposure” to Hertfordshire if he thinks it’s like the Shire Image

You’re not making any sense. Have a word with yourself, maybe?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
You’re twisting words here.
Being glad because someone who was actively, demonstrably harmful on an enormous scale is dead, is not the same as “celebrating someone you don’t like dying”.
And neither has anything whatsoever to do with Zionism. - Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 3 weeks ago:

You think money is imaginary. Ain’t no sane person listening to you.

You don’t understand how any of this works.

Billionaires make money on those unrealised gains. Therefore they are an asset, and must be taxed.

I remember my English teacher telling me the word “set” was the worst example of this, with over 200 definitions in the unabridged Oxford dictionary.

- Comment on What's a word for "I actively endorse it for others even though I dislike it”? 5 weeks ago:
A single word: “abstain”/“forgo” , although these don’t express personal dislike. “Eschew” describes the shunning of something so might be more suitable. Since you’re using only one word, you might get some follow up questions:
“I eschew gnome”.
“
Dude wtf does “eschew” mean and why are you such a poser?Oh really? Why’s that then?” - Comment on UK weather: Amber extreme heat warning issued as 35C heatwave approaches 5 weeks ago:
All great advice. Can I just add two details?
- Install the foil on the outside of the windows if possible. The sun will still heat the air between your window and the foil, raising the temperature in your room, if you install on the inside.
- Kitchen foil works just as well. Harder to install, but cheaper. I crafted some sun blinds with tinfoil and cardboard that I use every year.
I can’t stress enough how much is a difference the foil blinds make. Goes from unbearable to comfortable almost immediately.

Why do you think that?
- Comment on Imagine How embarrassing that would be 1 month ago:
… Except if the USA was the aggressor, invading that country in a folly war. I think there is doubt about that.
- Comment on Imagine How embarrassing that would be 1 month ago:
It’s actually politically damaging to help the USA in its folly wars under this regime. Trump is even less popular in Europe than he is in the US. I guess they probably would help, but not definitely, and definitely not enthusiastically.
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 1 month ago:
Advised is irrelevant in the context of banned. It does have something to do with what other people have been “stopped from”; because it’s a comparison, and there is therefore no error.
As an aside, “Mr Musk” deserves no respect from you. He is a fascist, and should not be tolerated.
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 1 month ago:
Is that the point though? Isn’t the point that he has done far less to endanger the UK population than Elon, and yet he is banned and Elon isn’t? Surely that’s worth discussing?

I like this game. You missed the one where he recreated Enoch Powell’s “Rivers of blood” speech.
- Comment on Hottest May day on record in UK as temperatures pass 34C 2 months ago:
Our houses are built to keep heat in. They are a nightmare to cool. Nobody has blinds to block the sun. It’s… not great.

The fun of justifying a reference frame outside the universe. Sorry I’m getting a headache.

Yep I think you have to imagine dots suspended in space inside the balloon to better get what’s going on, and you’re right, the “edge” of the universe is definitely nothing like the surface if the balloon. Probably?
- Comment on wat 2 months ago:
Best analogy I heard for it is if you put a load of dots on a balloon, then inflate it. Are the dots getting further away? Yes. Is there just the same amount of rubber between each dot as when you put the dots on? Yes. Can you measure the relative speed of the dots? Yes! But have they actually gone anywhere? No…ish?
- Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances 2 months ago:
I guess so. I think there are a lot of service roads onto the motorway that the public doesn’t have access to, which means in theory the emergency services would never have to drive that far through traffic. But I’m guessing.

That’s how it works in the UK. You see a blue light in your rearview, then everyone tries to find space and the emergency vehicle proceeds at a clip of 5-10mph, while the affected people ahead burn/bleed etc.
