  Yep. WTF the bike lane just ends and cars are signaled into moving there?

  It is probably safer than just making cars cross the lane, but there’s some transition missing there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Projected Truth⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If you jump out of a bridge, you will still break your face on the ground for every reference frame outside of a black hole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aerosol⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t. As long as it’s non-reactive, it only matters for the people designing the spay can.

  I think the GP was sarcastic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aerosol⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Late 80s hairsprays and other canned aerosols were a sizeable contributor.

  They were an easy fix, and stopped being a problem almost as soon as people decided to do something. That was way before the problem reached mainstream media, so when people started talking about it, they weren’t a problem anymore. But they surely were a problem for some time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if you get a small enough ruler you will already disprove quantum physics. No need to use it for anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wut⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it just another kind of tree?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spider Proof [SMBC Comic]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  N-Villany!

  But now, he nerd-snipped Spider-Man, he changed the outcome of the experiment by explaining it. Green Goblin didn’t even see any need to intervene, he’s only trolling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The speed of light⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But doesn’t E=mc² teach us that mass and energy are somewhat interchangeable?

  There are two ways to read that equation. Either you use the instant mass, that changes with the object’s speed and has an undefined result for anything moving at the speed of light (this is the one Einstein wrote in awe about), or you use the rest mass and that’s the half of the equation that doesn’t consider the object’s speed (this is the one everybody actually uses).

  On the second case, the complete equation is E² = (mc²)² + (pc)² where p is the momentum.

  Videogame cities are all dead and creepy… I can’t imagine what anybody finds beautiful about them.

  Of course, they are this way because they are literally designed, by a tiny number of people, and with sole focus on the player. But still, no idea why anybody can think they are beautiful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is wednesday my dudes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And tomorrow is Corpus Christi, I hope most of you here have it as a day off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But another one was made, and given to a research lab as a secret…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comic sans gang⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about?

  It looks like a bright dot. Or a dark one if you are photographing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well done, all of you!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So… Aggressivity always escalates if people interact at random without a cooling period?

  That’s quite a hypothesis. Seems quite realistic. I wonder if anybody tested it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well done, all of you!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s deeper than that.

  People have been doing this since cars became fast. There’s something in our brains that automatically turns driving into a battle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flipper!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt even 10% of the scientists can tell a human embryo apart from a dolphin.

  I really expect nobody from the physics, math, social sciences, history, geology, or almost every other department to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just give me someone to vote for who is normal⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Without your bad rephrasing:

  1 - “The cult of tradition” - At no point he gives any shit to tradition

  2 - “The rejection of modernism” - That’s partial at best, and partial hits do not count on that scale

  3 - “The cult of action for action’s sake” - Yes

  4 - “Disagreement is treason” - Absolutely not

  5 - “Fear of difference” - Dude, how the fuck did you claim he hits that one? Absolutely not

  6 - “Appeal to a frustrated middle class” - Yes

  7 - “Obsession with a plot” - Yes

  8 - cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak” - Their enemies are never strong

  9 - “Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy” - Absolutely not

  10 - “Contempt for the weak” - Absolutely not

  11 - “Everybody is educated to become a hero” - Yes

  12 - “Machismo” - Yes

  13 - “Selective populism” - Yes

  14 - “Newspeak” - No

  Anyway, it’s complete bullshit to just list those criteria like they are a checklist. I’ve listed them here just to show that even that bullshit argument is bullshit by its own standards.

  Are you claiming that fascists don’t need to be authoritarian? It’s not on the list, by the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just give me someone to vote for who is normal⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s not a good person’s identity, by any means. But he’s not fascist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1$⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s all that math is about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess the right word here is thick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been a fun ride!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand it as the author saying he won’t do either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this machine good enough to install QEMU considering that it runs on windows 10 ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does Windows run at all in that amount of memory?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You would put the dams close to each other, so there’s almost no water on the intermediary reservoirs.

  There’s an obvious improvement, where you put them so close that you need no water at all between them…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally—my XL pack of fragile crushable poison arrived.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, those are very well designed symbols for saying “this will eat your hand away” and “this will break you in an infinitude of pieces while it throws all those parts away strongly”…

  But yeah, I have probably been expecting too much awareness from random people. You are probably right on that part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally—my XL pack of fragile crushable poison arrived.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You forgot “explosive” and “corrosive”.

  Delivery people are a bold kind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Matrix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t say that in the first movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨there's a Costco at the other end⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, ewww! Exposed water is where mosquitoes brew!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨living on the edge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Star Trek, Linux, and USB specs. You can’t not have people talking about one of those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even the worst among us sacrifice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The lighting is weird, and the car is twice as weird.

  I think AI wouldn’t make an image like that even if you explicitly asked for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Effectively nothing has happened.

  A lot of people lost a lot of their money and got their lives destroyed. Also, the previous owners liquidated their shares.

  But yeah, you haven’t got any richer.

  They have a golden statue somewhere…
