Yeah, but satellites don’t orbit at 2 - 200 megameters, they orbit at 2,000 to 200,000 kilometers for some reason.

Eh, yes?
Feels like a different flavor of “intelligence” since one is problem solving focused (“how do a beat an unbearable for with minimal gear”) while the other is waiting for “triggers” and having “responses” ready (“I’m at my spot and need to wait for guy #2 to run past to drop the anvil”) and then not freezing if one of the triggers is slightly off.
So anyway, in general, both probably count as intelligence, but in this specific case, I think its worth differentiating one from the other. The best organizer/team player is not gonna stand out when working alone, while the most intelligent problem solver may not be able to work on a team.

Seems like a reasonable assumption is that it gets 90-95% of its BMR per day; that is, its fed enough to stay alive for a long while, but it us on a duet and chronically hungry.
If you fail to kill it and survive, yeah seems like going home empty handed is the safe assumption.
- Comment on Anon has a proposal for you 1 week ago:
Lol, not the intention.
I’m thinking of trying to start some kind of rope making operation in the hut (VERY wild card assumption that the resources for this would be available). If you and your two buddies could make enough rope to hog tie the Rex, then successfully did the thing while it slept, maybe you could also build some level of choker for it to suffocate the beast?
Idk, but I know that’d be a lot of rope. Gotta get multiple people on the task.

Convo about what animals we could fight in a 1 v 1 fight came up, and a buddy chimed in with some solid piece of wisdom on the matter:
“If you think you’re gonna lose, then you’re gonna lose. Thinking you can win doesn’t guarantee a win, but its impossible to win if you don’t think you can.”
- Comment on Anon has a proposal for you 1 week ago:
I had similar thinking, but limited the group to 3 (some hopeleslly low number).
- Comment on Anon has a proposal for you 1 week ago:
there’s a very good reason why humans absolutely dominate every animal on earth - our intelligence
Gonna have to slight disagree on this one. I’ve always found out ability to organize and communicate in generalist situations to be far more valuable than individual intelligence (though that’s also nothing to shrug at compared to other animals).
Naw, part of me is wondering if you’d be more likely to succeed in a 1-on-1 with the knife or a 3-on-1 unarmed. I still can’t think of a good strategy, but I feel like wed stand a better chance that just any one of us out there.

- Comment on Anon discovers books 1 week ago:
I really struggled with reading (well, listening to the audio book) Dawn of Everything. The narrator just seemed to take this tone of “I’m smarter than you and you’re a fool for having ever thought to the contrary of what I’m saying”. Seems like narrator was British, so maybe that’s just my sensitive American ears.
Nonetheless, I really felt talked down to and couldn’t muscle my way through it on account of that. Don’t suppose there’s other books that convey similar message / lessons with different tone that you’d recommend?

Similarly, I was def a dumb ass as a ~23 year old. And I am consistently impressed with my co-worker s at that age. Despite thinking their lingo is dumb, I do they they’ve got their heads on straight in a really good way.
- Comment on Anon's friend gets exposed 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, all those are really good points.
I def have a knee-jerk reaction when I see early 20’s friends (let’s be real: female friends) dating middle aged folks (again, being real, middle aged males) to be wary about the relationship. But intellectually, the conclusion I come to is that its fine.
I do specifically agree that the other people focusing on an age based power imbalance feels like they’d also be calling for you to only date in your income bracket, and then also to only date someone who’s as physically fit as you, which then leads to well you should only date someone of your race and/or ethnicity.
Something, something, slippery slope argument. But it is logically comparable.
- Comment on Anon's friend gets exposed 2 weeks ago:
Other commenter s keep going on about a power gap and how easy it is to manipulate younger folks.
Yo, I don’t know what early 20’s people y’all interact with, but upwards of 50+% of the people I work with are 21-26 and gonna say this is patently false. Labeling them all as easily manipulatable or saying they lack the means to make ends meet feels like some kind of paternalistic ageism.
These young whipper snappers might be annoying with their mog maxxing and 6-7s and shit, but they’re also whole ass adults.

Can confirm, at least for Adobe Acrobat.
There’s an annoying popup ive had to deal with at work where it prompts to have AI summarize my document or some such. Takes up only ~5% of the viewing pane, but needs to be manually exited out of for EVERY document opened.
- Comment on Anon keeps up with new tech 5 weeks ago:
I means pound.
It really is obvious that the abbreviation for pounds comes from the Latin word for the instrument used to measure pounds when the unit was originally established, a Libra which means scales or balance.
I really don’t get how people can’t keep up. /s

More like there is no woman on the right, there’s just three women on the left: Greek Godesses, literally any mortal woman, and just anything with a vagina really.
- Comment on Anon is a Witcher 2 months ago:
Can’t speak to those myself, but also the show had some similar themes so would assume that’s an underlying motif to the whole series.
I’m def not the best guy to be answering your question, but from what I’ve seen, it has been a pretty prevalent notion of the franchise.
- Comment on Anon is a Witcher 2 months ago:
Admittedly only dumped ~20 hours into one game, so may not have the most holistic view on the game.
But feels like there’s a ton of quests that are “go hunt this monster”, find out the monster’s motivations, realize it was the humans/“civilized folk” who dealt the first blow / profaned nature / failed to perform some ritual, Geralt grits teeth and sides with civilization against obviously wronged nature/monster.
So yeah, I didn’t see any “its actually domestic abuse” quests, but the games are crawling with “humans have hubris/pride that is their own downfall” commentary.

Damn. Didn’t they also just sign a deal with GrapheneOS? Real disappointed in this duality.

I’m down to watch it play out, if Trump attempts to make it a thing.
I expect the biggest barrier would be getting Michelle Obama on board. Word is she HATED her time as First Lady, but now that they’re kids are more grown (seems like they should be done with undergrad college by now?), it might be more feasible.

Can you pass a translation for me?

Like other commenter said, its more a general vibe.
Its the blocky graphic on either side with smaller text labeled modern squared off graphics in the middle. Its the font. Its the spacing. Its got the same general flow of the dozens of AI generated websites I’ve seen.
Its too cleanly unclean.

It’s being caught logic.
Hitting cement and decelerating over 0.001 meters? Instant death.
Hitting heroes arms and decelerating over 0.01 meters? Totally fine, no injuries, good to head back to work or whatever.

Eh, its non-spiderman marvel slop. I don’t really care.

Almost worse if I understand the US Justice system well enough, tbh.
- Comment on Be a punk rocker 2 months ago:
Like I said, I didn’t actually watch the new Captain America movie, just some summary videos. That was my takeaway from those. I’ll edit my comment to better reflect that they jail the President in the end.
