  Man, you have some really fucked-up traffic regulators. That kind of thing isn’t common even in poor countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now meeting...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Too real for a shitpost?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans when they are trying to talk back to a fascist: let's have a cosplay party!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s different people, and I think we all can safely dismiss anything from the second group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Demons on one side, microorganisms on the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA officially bankrupt (insolvent)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They only can’t file for bankruptcy to get out of their debts

  Countries do that all the time… well, not really all the time, but most decades at least one does it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA officially bankrupt (insolvent)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bankruptcy is a legal term, whatever the law says that can be bankrupt can in practice be bankrupt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me emitting 20KG of CO2 by using Google search to spellcheck individual words⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the slop-tunnel for all communications. The added bonus of high odds of it completely changing the meaning makes everything worthwhile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨workplace enrichment activities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you think the timer does?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh ok⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hum… I don’t think LLMs are trained by evolutive algorithms.

  Alexander the Great when asked: Hey, look, that Grindr thing is really interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's how the world works.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  we could divert natural gas from other uses and have plenty for making ammonia. We also have other ways of producing hydrogen

  We can’t do any of those in a scale large enough to replace the destruction and have it online for the next planting season on the North Hemisphere. Or the next one on the South Hemisphere either, btw. Or the following ones for each.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I rember!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh… You mean that a license plate is not personally identifying in Europe or that the post violates privacy laws in Europe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I rember!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They absolutely do apply to license plates. It’s just that the post doesn’t break any.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Gang Solves Climate Change⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t just scale it that quickly. Some of it will be replaced by coal, not all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4th dimensional jokes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t matter what time you think it’s the right one, the black hole will get it anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keep it off please!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Generative AI is a name for some ways you can use AI, not for its architecture.

  There’s space to discuss if DLSS is it or not. But your argument is baseless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨great grandaddy bur oak⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. So I went looking if people actually knew when our codon system appeared.

  Turns out that there are 26 slightly different systems on Earth right now, and there are good reasons to expect random alien life to have a system that looks like ours, but is different enough to not be compatible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨great grandaddy bur oak⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s extremely unlikely that their DNA has the same translation semantics into proteins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you only sleep 3 hours a day? (inspiration)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You may want to watch the video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmm...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are 6 of them, and the yellow jackets are only relevant there. Before you pointed I didn’t notice they are protesters.

  I just assumed they were people working around moving and assembling the thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antiwoke Straight of Hormwin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man… I hate to blow your bubble, but that guy is just repeating something that was under serious consideration about 50 years ago.

  He probably just remembers the proposals, and not the problems people found in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antiwoke Straight of Hormwin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, both carbon and hydrogen can absorb neutrons just fine,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Talk about hat hair...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hum… I’ve watched many movies based on his book, but I wouldn’t recognize anyone that took part in any, or even the movie names. So, IDK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Talk about hat hair...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh… I have no idea who that is and how popular that person has become. So, I don’t know about people being convinced to look like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Talk about hat hair...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I know, they haircut was always there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨yippie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what a chemist looks like nowadays. Including the physics undergrad course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨owo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can push electrons into a capacitor if you don’t connect the other side. A few of them, but you do.

  There are electrostatic generators that work by pushing electrons on one side and pulling from the other of some insulator that moves between those two. But you can’t sustain a steady state of only one of those actions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retvrn To Tradition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to point to the people that weren’t there yet, the US made a lot of noise on the press every time they “found” some of the chemical weapons they sold to Iraq in the 80s that were stored in UN-approved deposits because Iraq had no means of destroying them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨so cozy 🐟⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The danger is not they biting you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checkers, not chess.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Iran has been out of the petrodollar system since the maximalist sanctions the US imposed in 1995. Sanctioned countries don’t have a use for dollars.
