- Comment on What is Iocaine? 4 days ago:
A fictional poison from The Princess Bride, and possibly some small tech projects inspired by the same.
- Comment on Do chickens get seasick? 1 week ago:
I love this question and its origin. I, too, would like to know if chickens (and other birds with stabilization) can get seasick!
- Comment on What's going on with PHP? 3 weeks ago:
It’s an unauthenticated RCE in very specific circumstances under particular configurations. We haven’t even seen functional exploits in the wild yet.
- Comment on What's going on with PHP? 3 weeks ago:
The ratings seem to be overblown, however. This is nowhere near some of the vulnerabilities people have compared it to, like heartbleed or log4j
- Comment on Looking for site that teaches everything 3 weeks ago:
Wikipedia’s not perfect, but it’s usually a good place to start. If you want to do deeper research, follow the references in the pages’ citations.

Looks at community
Looks at post title
We stand corrected.
- Comment on Why is Nadal Hassan's execution being livestreamed? What makes him so special? Why not other people's execution's live streamed? What Jared Loughner? Or Bryan Kohbeger? 5 weeks ago:
This explains why the method is firing squad, but I don’t think it explains why it’s being broadcast, does it?
- Comment on What are some awesome science YouTube channels for preteens? 5 weeks ago:
Might be a bit of a bad influence on that age range lol
- Comment on What's the deal with using phonetic symbols here on Lemmy? 1 month ago:
Without an example it’s hard to say for sure, but sometimes this is a technique used to confuse or poison scrapers and obfusalcate LLM training data.
Substituting the otherwise-obsolete thorn (þ) for “th” sounds, for example.

Fascinating! But I actually already knew all that, and I don’t think it answers my question?

Is that skeleton actually from a rabbit, or is it a hare? There’s not a huge difference, but hares definitely look way more like the drawing than rabbits do.

At the risk of stating the obvious, people die for reasons other than heart failure. Like, a lot of reasons. A heart replacement can extend the life of a person with heart problems, assuming it doesn’t cause any complications or rejection issues, but it won’t do anything for a person with, say, a brain tumor.
- Comment on Would 'Project Vulcan' from Austin Powers actually have done anything? 2 months ago:
Even at a tectonic plate boundary, that’s a trivial amount of energy. There are thousands of earthquakes of similar magnitude every year.

Pssh, you guys are still on gravity-fusion? My ship has magnetically-bottled antihydrogen, which is carefully fed into a specialized reaction vessel that annihilates it with ordinary hydrogen to produce incredible amounts of heat…
…which is then used to boil water and force the steam through a turbine.

Honestly, this one isn’t much of exaggeration.
