He is, as always, correct.

Fair.

Oh no. You can get close to any star of your choosing with only minuscule amounts of reaction mass if you start out in vacuum away from significant gravity wells - eventually. Granted, the star in question may or may not have gone supernova or collapsed into a black hole by the time you arrive, but I doubt that’ll make a lot of difference to the person doing it at that point.
With that said, I’m not about to discourage anybody from taking an interest in fusion of the up-close-and-personal-kind. And if people aren’t into the math of Magnetohydrodynamics? Well, first off, sucks to be them, but second: Then donate to the cause to pay those who are. Fusion is fucking awesome, and we desperately need it.
- Comment on So much... 1 week ago:
That or the right job application and a lot of propellant and oxidizer - but seriously, don’t do that. It didn’t end well for Icarus. Gravitationally-driven open-core fusion reactors are best admired from a safe minimum distance.

“It’s always nice to get a customer who can appreciate the finer points of palaeoenvironmental conditions. I swear, some days I have clients without even the most basic epistemological awareness. Then again, I suppose someone needs to watch all that so-called reality TV they’re producing. Let’s get you all fixed up, hun.”

Yes, it’s a pity the last term is occluded. We might have solved cat-faces for ever if not for that blunder.

Yeah, I’m going to have to remember that one.

Damn. It’s like watching meme’d videos with humorously wrong subtitles when you actually speak the language used in the clip. I just can’t ignore what’s actually on the blackboard.

That’s the spirit!
- Comment on Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do? 2 weeks ago:
Dude, people can’t handle the complexity of simply driving the vehicle as it is. Bad things happen when adding handling dynamic communications into the mix with people who aren’t trained to the level of combat pilots. That’s why we don’t let people juggle a cell phone while driving.
- Comment on Study concludes cybersecurity training doesn’t work 2 weeks ago:
That’s a shame, although I unfortunately have no problem believe that’s the case in general. I still personally benefit from the social engineering resistance training I’ve had over the years to this day though.

Nah. They just had a very small training budget for their malfunctioning Markov Chain implementation.

Ah, the ocean. Where life began, and probably - judging from this - where it’ll end.

For an illustration of why guns and hallucinogens don’t mix, refer to the British Operation Moneybags which explored the concept of using LSD as a battlefield incapacitating agent. It was wildly successful.
At least they were smart enough to not issue them any ammunition.

I usually make my own. Graasten’s is pretty decent.

No, not at all. That I’d have no issue with. Now, Hellman’s makes a number of different variants IIRC, and I can’t tell you which particular one this was as I haven’t bought it since, but: I mean ‘pumped’ as in ‘foamy’ or perhaps a better term would be ‘areated’. Filled with visible bubbles of some gas - I don’t actually know whether it was nitrogen or something else, but nitrogen would make sense due to the same reasons you pointed out. I suspect it was done as a shrinkflation strategy to sell the same apparent volume of product, whilst saving on material production inputs. It certainly did nothing beneficial for the texture. I don’t really want my “mayonnaise” to feel like poorly whipped cream.
I’ve seen the same thing done for some cream cheeses, and likely for the same reason. I don’t buy those more than once either.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
What does Hellman’s have to do with mayonnaise though? That nitrogen-pumped piss is mayo the same way those American individually wrapped slices of milk-plastic is ‘cheese’.

Of course. There’s no point in immorality if you’re going to have a single point of failure. The cognitive substrate must survive.
