- Comment on Shut up and take our money: Amazon plows $1B+ into quashing datacenter dissent 4 days ago:
While you are absolutely correct, all those other industries are well established, ai and datacentres are relatively new to the scene. It’s much easier to stop something that just started, then stop something that is already established.
Additionally, protesting one doesn’t make protesting the other impossible. Education is an effective tool to reach people. “Are you upset that datacentres waste x amount of water, well then oil and gas wastes 10x amount. Let’s protest those as well.”

- Comment on What would climate change be like on a Type 1 world on the Kardashev scale? 3 weeks ago:
Well, if the solar panels were outside the atmosphere like some sort of inside out dyson sphere, theoretically, no heat would transfer to the planet. We’d have to ask why anyone would do this, and it seems wildly inefficient, but theoretically it could work.

Eh, bad math aside they’re left with √=√ which is true.
- Comment on How hard/fast would a baseball have to go to completely pass through a pitcher? Like leave a hole through flesh? 5 weeks ago:
It definitely stretches the definition of “a baseball”, but, on the otherhand that does make it easier to penetrate with smaller projectile. Hrm…

True, but also, go big or go home. We’re already talking about murdering someone by accelerating a baseball through their body. Might as well make their body turn into a fine mist, same jailtime.

I’m not physicist, but I’d imagine the force required to propel the ball to that speed would also disintegrate the ball itself?
The shape of the ball would exert the force over a relatively large area compared to a bullet, and the ball material is much weaker than metal objects that would blow through people (is cannonballs).
So the force required would increase due to larger surface area, but then the ball would break apart from said force. The solution is a metal baseball propelled by a railgun.
Now to just find
victimstest subjects to trial it. - Comment on How hard/fast would a baseball have to go to completely pass through a pitcher? Like leave a hole through flesh? 5 weeks ago:
A careful reading of official Major League Baseball Rule 6.08(b) suggests that in this situation, the batter would be considered “hit by pitch”, and would be eligible to advance to first base.
This is gold!

If some tourist puts a greasy 50 cent bill in your gstring as your dancing, you’re going to want to wash that bad boy. Just simple hygiene, really.

Great show, had me rooting for him till they revealed it happened to him before. He’s either the unluckiest bastard around, or dumb enough to try the same thing twice.

Plus, you could maybe get away with it once. The problem is when they try to do it again. How many bags of money are they finding on the ground? How many highly insured spouses are falling down the stairs?

Have you tried asking humans out on a date? Might have better luck. At the very least, human beaks are softer than seagull beaks.
