  Interesting so I guess they update the almanac when a leep second is preformed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but they said all clocks so all the sats would still be in sync just like we had a leep second it would just be a leep minute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but we should still make them pay for every inch they take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there is no photos of earth from space?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you op is lame but I’m glad I checked their moronic post for your comment this is awesome bookedmarked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is some good feedback. Not op but I have a genuine question if you are a middle aged man. How would you engage people that may be younger than you 20s and up and not look like or at least feel like a creep. Other than my wife I have basically no friends that share my interest. But can’t engage for fear of coming off as a creep.

  Note he still does hose kind of videos under a different name for Second Wind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do snakes prefer to drink warm or cool water?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Very true on the second part I mean you have to do that anyway for the reptile .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are on Linux and I guess windows but nor sure. You already use it for cache. So you can never have enough ram. As long as it’s the same speed of your existing ram or you will screw yourself in preformence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Along with assholes testing boundaries that others have said. It can also be someone trying to be witty and speaking before they processed the implications of what they said. I know I have done that but I also showed regret when telling someone I meant it in jest.

  Your examples are clearly not that though they were just an ass and didn’t want to deal with the consequences of being such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do snakes prefer to drink warm or cool water?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A few more variables to think about is you would have to keep the heated water at that warmer temperature the whole time. Plus also noting the ambient temperature to graph with each event.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the Epic Games Store was hated during it's early existence?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do it so the devs get paid and I get to try games before I pay for them. I would never use their app I use heroic instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the Epic Games Store was hated during it's early existence?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also the reason I have 100s of games on epic and have never spent a dime on epic. When I like a game I by it on steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would you consider the 3 greatest movies ever made?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I saw warriors of the wind when I was very young and never knew the name of the movie but would go up to videos stores in the 90s and basically discibe the movie. Girl on a glider chases after giant bugs. No one knew what I was talking about. Then when Disney did the release with news dub in 2005. I saw a ad for it on TV at like 2am and freaked woke my parents up and everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would you consider the 3 greatest movies ever made?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Brazil 1985 The matrix 1999 Nausicaa valley of the wind 1984

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also they make up bullshit and put it on the resume giving you a bad name with a bunch of employers. I only give them PDFs if I’m interested

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Story of Nicholas Winton, the man who saved hundreds of children in WWII (short version)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol the ghosts are the ICE agents. You talk in code to warn everyone of their location.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more TV is dying and Kurtzman hates Star Trek as a concept and can only write one kind of story. There is this thing we need to find that thing. An entire season about finding that thing.

  When star trek is done right it works and gets shared around and does well. The five OG star trek series. Strange new worlds, The Orville.

  It also kills me that Kurtzman misses the entire point of what Section 31 was in DS9. When he said a utopia can’t exist without someone doing the dirty work like S31. That kinda of undermineds the entire point of star trek and If we have gotten to that point star trek is already dead and a dystopian zombie is wearing it’s face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I watched Arrival (2016), there was a lot more to it than I was expecting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah Denis Villeneuve is a wonderful story teller. The book gives great context to what the characters are thinking and that was where Lynch failed trying to put that on screen when it wasn’t needed for the medium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I watched Arrival (2016), there was a lot more to it than I was expecting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I will say I read the short story and it made me love the movie even more. It rare for me to say the movie was better than they book and the books was great as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How prevalent is the topic of mental health in America compared to Germany?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah Dann accurate I used to have some of the best insurance you could get and even that didn’t matter she just stopped talking insurance as BCBS kept screwing her . If not for the VA as a backup I would be fucked (we will see how long that lasts) but I have to just pay her out of the pocket for now. Honestly anything health related needs to be divorced from our jobs in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are “female jocks” called?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think jocks they make jockstraps for women too. So it still fits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just the extra mass of 13 times I know doesn’t sounds like a lot but going from Earth to Jupiter’s is about 318 times. Maybe instead of protostar we should use failed star ainxe it has all the hydrogen and seller dust of that a star would used forces fuel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s basically it’s large enough to be round like a planet but can’t achieve orbital dominance like the big 8. So it looks like a planet but acts like an astroid. I think dwarf planet is a good term for them. Becase if they were a little bigger they would have all the same properties of a planet and are a lot closer to that than an asteroid.

  Oh Dann I got this same message but it got deleted before I checked my inbox. I guess the instance mods are on point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did Nvidia stock drop with R1 hype?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also think the fact that it’s open source kind of takes the mystery out of the ai game and since it’s said to be preforming as well as ChatGPT. Takes the wind out of any hardware partners of Openai.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it paranoia or is it really a pattern?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s in reality it’s somewhere in the middle. There aee definitely people out there that don’t want to see anything non white being represented as anything other than subservient to Whites. But on the other side some elements of Hollywood or any production companies use inclusivity as a shield to stamp down any criticism no matter how much is constructive. Because at the end of the day they don’t care about the art they care about their money.

  Like for example if you ever read DC comics especially but also another forms of media. They have just been around a long time so it’s more pronounced. You will notice a trend of characters that were Red Headed when inclusivity initiatives were publicized they were the characters that changed to Black.

  To me you are just swapping one minority to another and patting yourself on the back. Instead of creating dynamic interesing characters that are three dimensional and just so happens to be Black. A good example of this is Static Shock I don’t like Virgil becase he is Black I like him because he is a kick ass and interesting character that happens to be black. To do any less is no different than the stereotypes from The Song of the South.

  Hell look at South Park Tolkien is one of the kids that has his shit together with awesome loving parents and holds his own with the other kids. He is not a stereotype nor is he held up to be symbol of diversity. Hell the joke token calls that out.

  So because corporations uses it as a let’s score some points in a hollow cynical way of making money. The small loud voices of bigots are used to get the wider group to come to the products defense for even wider profits for the company.

  Because most people are good at least I hope they are and their logic is even if this show is bad I believe in having these voices represented so I will defend it so they make more. To me that’s not good enough those voices need to be respected as well. Not used as a gimmick or a pat on the back. It’s the equivalent of donating a $1000 and spending $1,000,000 publicizing it.

  Yeah the Orville is great season 2 is the best with season 3 being a close second.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you actually doing today?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  my wife and I even fall asleep to the enterprise background engine noise on loop. It may sound counter intuitive but you know that episode of DS9 where Miles gets locked away for like 30 years but it was all in his mind for a few minutes?

  Hard Time it’s called. We’ll when I’m having one of bad PTSD days from my time in the service. I put on that episode to calm me down. It’s like Julian puts his hand on my chest and tells everything maybe bad today but we will get through it and tomorrow maybe a little bit better. That little scene at the end has pulled me back from the edge more than once.
