- Comment on RIP America 1 day ago:
at least in the disciplines that develop weapons
So interested they declared quantum physics an anti-Arian idea that should be exterminated and forced almost everybody with any knowledge that could help in making a nuclear weapon out of the country…
- Comment on RIP America 1 day ago:
China currently is not communist either.
They stopped killing academics at around the same time they stopped being communist.
- Comment on RIP America 2 days ago:
It’s a popular strategy for Fascists.
the Nazis and the OG Fascists did it, and so did the communist Chinese.
- Comment on RIP America 2 days ago:
So do the Democrats…
I hope they fix their system, but I have no idea how they could.
- Comment on Listen here, Little Dicky 2 days ago:
Have you seen a mathematician claim that? Because there’s entire algebra they created just so it becomes a fraction.
- Comment on Listen here, Little Dicky 2 days ago:
And it denotes an operation that gives you that fraction in operational algebra…
Instead of making it clear that
dis an operator, not a value, and thus the entire thing becomes an operator, physicists keep claiming that there’s no fraction involved. I guess they like confusing people. - Comment on I had to work with Excel today 2 days ago:
Oh, excel is a bad tool. There’s no argument about it.
Just look at the meme about dates somebody posted just around the same time as this. Excel has that kind of shit about everything. It does solve a good problem, but the tool is a piece of crap.
- Comment on Hottie without a body 1 week ago:
It’s from The Good Place. She isn’t a person, and she isn’t a computer either.
- Comment on If you can't make it yourself, store bought is fine 2 weeks ago:
To translate the sibling, the third one is where it would tell you how dangerous the substance is for you. But it’s keeping its secrets.
- Comment on just beat it 2 weeks ago:
And now interplanetary percussive maintenance is a thing too.
- Comment on It's not supposed to make sense... 3 weeks ago:
It’s called “shut up and calculate”
- Comment on Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me? 3 weeks ago:
Yes. They did that years ago.
The ad-blockers are constantly working into evading the ban. You may need to update your ad-blocker of your browser.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 3 months ago:
If this is about the US, notice that they used to have intra-party elections as a strong cultural requirement before going into the main election. They only stopped requiring that very recently.
- Comment on Is there really nothing the EU or NATO can do to stop Russian vessels cutting energy and communication cables at the Baltic sea? 4 months ago:
The EU doesn’t want to be at war with Russia.
Russia also should really not want to be at war with the EU, but as you noticed, they don’t seem to care much about what they should do. If they fuck around enough, they may find out, but they are betting they won’t.
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 4 months ago:
You expect people to take their money from stocks and put into what exactly?
Putting it in “someplace safe like our pockets” is neither safe, nor something people can do in large numbers. They can put it in bank accounts in large numbers, how safer than stocks do you think those are?
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 4 months ago:
What does “done” mean to you, and how possibly can it be final?
- Comment on Why don't movies look like *movies* anymore? 4 months ago:
Well, maybe not making everything with any set amount of lighting is better…
- Comment on Where did Captain Planet go when he flew away? 4 months ago:
Does he never turn back into energy and flow back into the rings? I always assumed he just does that, but I’m not sure what is actually on those cartoons.
- Comment on THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS 4 months ago:
It’s easy to check in Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_bulge:
The planet Earth has a rather slight equatorial bulge; its equatorial diameter is about 43 km (27 mi) greater than its polar diameter, with a difference of about 1⁄298 of the equatorial diameter.
It’s not something so outwordly small that people couldn’t do better, but it’s better than bearing balls or a spherographic pen tip. It’s way, way smaller than any deformation you will find in a game ball.
- Comment on THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS 4 months ago:
Oh, let’s be fair here…
He had to hire a guy to count lots and lots of steps too.
- Comment on THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS 4 months ago:
Unless you go in an advanced metrology laboratory, or look at Jupiter with a telescope, it’s the most spherical object you will ever see.
- Comment on Doppler 4 months ago:
Well, when that finally happens the car will be fine, far away from Earth.
- Comment on Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs 4 months ago:
If you eat only a couple of crumbs, that checks out. The OP didn’t say how much of bread he’s eating.
- Comment on Nice try guy 4 months ago:
Refuse the call for once. Keeping it ringing won’t help you in any way.
And add the number to some kind of “refuse” list for the time you don’t want to receive the calls.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
Most of the energy does not come from fusion.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
The majority of the energy comes from nuclear fission
Yes, from an extremely inefficient fission reaction that can be improved by an order of magnitude by doing it slowly in a reactor.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
You either spend a truckload of resources during decades to make a bomb that explodes releasing the same energy humanity spends in two months, or you spend a truckload of resources doing the end task at a slower pace for decades.
The later is guaranteed to require a smaller truckload.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
“Nuclear explosions are inherently unsafe”
Well, he warns about it.
- Comment on What would happen if USA invades Canada? 4 months ago:
Keep in mind that Greenland and Canada are both members of NATO, and thus the US would be forced to intervene…
Oh, well…
You mean seriously? Who knows? Both sides have nuclear weapons, don’t they? This is not something that ever happened. Would the US armed forces go along with the plan or will there be a coup? Will everybody keep their heads leveled and avoid exchange nuclear explosions even with people dying at home / on the front? Will somebody just put a bullet on Trump’s head and stop the madness?
But the thing I can tall is that if you are expecting country lines and military treaties to be immutable, that’s not how they work.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
Well, I’m sure controlled slow-paced mining is more energy efficient and will emit less carbon to create…
But I’m not stopping that guy. Go on. I’ll just watch from a safe distance.
