- Comment on What are super-computers used for ? 2 days ago:
Think of a gaming PC from the 90s. And now imagine asking the same then.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 1 week ago:
There’s no need for that speed. Ships won’t have to be build on the ground. The ideal is having an space dock at the geosync part and only move up and down the payload, not the ships.

The way a normal elevator works is one way to lessen the problem: the port on the top is used to launch cargo AND to receive it, so when you make the outgoing cargo rise you use the incoming cargo as the balance. 1 ton goes up, 1 ton goes down.

And not all would fall. Part of it would be launched outwards by inertia.
- Comment on How long would it take a black Hole to fully absorb a person from event horizon to center of the earth style? 1 week ago:
The extreme case is a photon crossing the universe. For an outside observer, it will take the photon billions of years to cross the universe. For the photon there is no time at all.

Maybe from the POV of the person falling.
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 2 weeks ago:
Neglected or were coerced to not cover? Every time Europe has wanted to be on par with the US, the US had undermined the idea. Being the guy with the bigger stick has always been the ideal for the US. And that includes a less powerful Europe.
- Comment on If the protests in Iran win/topple the government what will it look like immediately afterwards? Also what would be the good or bad about installing a monarchy again? 2 weeks ago:
Just a note: in Spain the first 10 years after Franco saw a lot of terrorism, from ETA, BVA, King Christ’s Warriors, GRAPO, Terra Lliure, EPG, AAA, GAL, … and the last ETA bombing was in this century.

So the same but without the sharia, right?
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 2 weeks ago:
Don’t get me wrong. I’m talking about not treating then as special but just as anyone else and reply as you would with anyone else, not as if they are superior.
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 3 weeks ago:
That’s a mistake. If you treat them as your equal then you can make then see they aren’t special or “middle class” and then you have another pair of hands to help the working class.
- Comment on Word. 1 month ago:
LibreOffice has a native export to PDF. And, if you use (almost) any Linux, you have a PDF printer included.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
In a societal collapse your best investment is between your ears. If you can build/grow/… things you don’t need to worry about losing value.

Welcome to weekend Spain
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:

- Comment on Anyone? 2 months ago:
Or maybe Hillary made Bill cut with Donald and that’s why he hates her.
- Comment on Honestly same 2 months ago:
Not a hero. Only a vigilante.
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 2 months ago:
In Spanish, “café” if just that, coffee. But it was also used as “Camaradas Arriba Falage Española”.
The Spanish flag is just the official flag… except when it has an Osborne bull in it or the dictatorship eagle. - Comment on I know which I'd choose 2 months ago:
A son is a son. The part of the sexual life has to be meaningless to the parents.
- Comment on Packed like sardines in a tin 2 months ago:
If it was exactly as sardines then two pairs of feet are missing.
- Comment on Where is modern Punk? 2 months ago:
It would be nice if they used FunkWhale.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 months ago:
Do you remember the Net Yaroze?
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 months ago:
The others could do it too.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 months ago:
Yes. But the other consoles could do it also.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 months ago:
It would be great if consoles could be used as computers, selecting which use you want on boot. With the current console’s power they could be used as a regular computer.
- Comment on Fictional 2 months ago:
Is there a unit for the distance light travels in a Plank time?
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 2 months ago:
Then maybe the solution is to expand the IPA to include all those sounds.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 2 months ago:
European how? IIRC it’s one sign, one sound.

Sugar in a recipe means adding sugar that is not in any of the other ingredients
