  My (European) school education at least taught me that speed of light (and therefore other electromagnetic radiation, too) can be assumed to be the speed of light without any measurable difference applied by the medium it is passing through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any security in the communication with Voyager I?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There are several problems if you want to interfere that communication.

  First, you need to reverse engineer the protocol. For that you need to be able to log what nasa is sending and what they are receiving. Both has quite some problems, as the sending signal is tightly focused towards the spacecraft, so you probably have to find the actual dish and install a bug to read what they are sending. The NASA might object to that.

  Second, you would need the hardware. Which is beyond the normal hobbyists budget.

  And finally, you would have to be 100% spot on in your reverse engineering of the protocol or you’ll probably just brick that thing.

  It is amazing with how little to none in education is sufficient to finish school nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of the "Airport Security" (aka: TSA) in the USA? Does the "Airport Security" ever actually scare away potential terrorists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to cause trouble, don’t bother with the cockpit doors. Windows and doors are much easier targets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The “losing taste” is actually a beneficial thing. Most things that kids don’t like are either risky (e.g. coffee) or difficult to digest (all kinds of cabbage), so it is good that kids don’t like them. For adults being able to expand acceess to available foods helps feeding the horde in difficult times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of the "Airport Security" (aka: TSA) in the USA? Does the "Airport Security" ever actually scare away potential terrorists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is pure show. It might deter or maybe even catch the most stupid wannabe-terrorist, but tests have shown repeatedly that skilled people have no issues getting guns through without issues. All this while you can still build a bomb with stuff bought from the duty-free behind the TSA curtain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This one, for example: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4654709/

  Or this one: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22197939/

  Originally, I had read a cluster of those articles some years ago, but scientific articles like to hide behind paywalls nowadays.

  And at old age, it ends like this: www.npr.org/…/why-taste-buds-dull-as-we-age

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The “kids don’t like broccoli” has a scientific reason. Kids have a lot more receptors for aromas tasting bitter (10 to 15k different chemical compounds taste bitter to them) which reduce to 5k or less when growing up. So some types of food that adults can eat without problems because they lack the receptors have bitter and vile flavours for kids.

  If he does want to be recognized as a SovCit, he could just have written “I’m terminally stupid” there.

  Or GIMP, yes, but for that kind of logo, Inkscape is definitely the better choice.

  It always depends on the project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can always export an Inkscape image as a bitmap in whatever resolution you’ll probably need.

  I once did an export with a width of >10000px (85cm ~=33.5in @ 300dpi). Yes, the file size sucked. But it looked good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of using MS Paint, maybe you should use Inkscape for such projects. It can easily align text along lines, but the best thing is that it is vector based, so the images easily scale. Very useful for logos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, alternatively, use a professional paint program. Which does not necessarily have to be commercial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Then why would they end up with philips instead of torx?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This app requires access to your contacts⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The first thing to be flushed down that drain would be the plumber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨and we thought our thing with beans was bad⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget the H5N1 flavors!

  Or you just do it on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨itch.io was taken down by Funko because of some automated brand protection service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sue them for damages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This spoon.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they ever set up a GoFundMe to set up a memorial statue of the killer, just give a shout.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the US dissolves for whatever reason and goes into a state of anarchy what would happen to the rest of the world?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We would probably have to learn Chinese instead of English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you speak a second language better than your native language, would you describe your second language skill as "native" or "fluent"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still better in my native tongue than in English, but I would still consider myself ‘fluent’, with some people considering me ‘native’, which I would never claim for me. This I would call “personal relativity”, as I am probably more fluent in English than quite some native speakers. And I definitely read English faster than most native speakers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shape of the Heart⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This tore my heart apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds extremely fishy. Those robo-dogs are expensive, they are slow - too slow to really act as couriers, and this is supposed to be Moscow - A city in a country under rather strict tech embagos, where you can’t get them at the next corner shop.

  Indeed, it will overheat their little brains.

  Basically correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cooking advice⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolute fun multipliers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cooking advice⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Such a setup would make me leave the premises faster than a bunch of MAGA-brain uncles could do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wtf Cambrian⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a hypothesis that an alien might actually look like a crab. Because life somehow managed to create crab-like creatures from a number of different evolutionary lines. Which shows a certain advantage that seems to be there with this specific form.
