Actually, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, but light travels slower through a medium, like air. So lasers shot through air will actually travel slower than c.

That’s why i said advanced language. Lots of animals have language.
- Comment on Anon is an anthropologist 3 months ago:
The answer is probably language. Before advanced language was developed, there wasn’t a good way to pass along any knowledge that was gained by an individual.

View includes being able to see the sky. These permanently block some of the view of the sky.

If the argument is that awnings are too unattractive for people to use them, then hot damn is that so much worse. Solid metal gates - for when you want your house to look like a convenience store in a bag neighborhood when riots are about to start.
- Comment on Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about 4 months ago:
While that may be true, it doesn’t make people want them any more than they currently do. People want to have their full window view available whenever they want it. This means it needs to be retractable and extendable at the push of a button. And once you have that, it’s easy and helpful for it to also be automated
- Comment on Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about 4 months ago:
Make them better looking and push-button retractable from inside, and people will want them.

Haha i have some very funny news to tell you! The lyric is actually “tenth avenue FREEZE OUT”

In some cases yes, but in some the misheard lyrics are actual better
- Comment on Anon questions the magic box 4 months ago:
Ok, but here’s a real answer. Have you ever sprayed a can of hair spray or wd-40 and the can got cold? That’s basically the same process.

I want that
- Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home? 4 months ago:
Is there a reason why you can’t get an air conditioner? There’s tons of valid reasons why it wouldn’t be an option, I’m just wondering what your situation is. Because nothing is ever gonna work anywhere close to as good as an air conditioner. If you can afford even the smallest air conditioner then it’ll beat every single diy solution in most situations

This is clearly recent.

Someone bought Redbox (the company) in 2022?! Why?!
- Comment on Redbox's owner files for bankruptcy after repeatedly missing payments and payroll: The company hasn’t paid employees in over a week and owes money to almost everyone in Hollywood ($970M in debt) 4 months ago:
I’d guess the answer is yes, but not nearly enough

- Comment on Farage urges Zelenskiy to seek Ukraine peace deal with Russia 4 months ago:
Imagine after an invasion of England someone said to him “you should rethink your goal of trying to reclaim London”
- Comment on :)) 4 months ago:
I think it’s great that this has been captioned so deaf people can appreciate it too
- Comment on Redbox missed a multimillion-dollar payment it couldn’t afford to miss 4 months ago:
Y’all are knocking redbox, and you’re increasingly right for most places, but for many rural areas their internet is still very slow and/or data capped that makes video impossible
- Comment on We need a larger one. Yes, for the last time. Pleeeeeeeeeease! 5 months ago:
10 years? Hahahahahaha, sure
- Comment on How does SecureErase work? 5 months ago:
There’s a map that shows where every file on your disk is. Doing a regular trash just erases the map pointer for that file, but the 1s and 0s that the file is made of are still sitting there on your disk. Secure erase writes 0s into that area on the disk, so even if you knew where that file used to be located on the disk, now you’ll just find 0s there, instead of finding the 1s and 0s of the old file.

If you just add "hi’ to the beginning then it’s a perfect middle. “Hello, who is this?”

To me it sounds like OP’s opener is exactly for people who aren’t contacts saved in his phone. It sounds perfect to me

I just googled Catholic ai and this is the first result
- Comment on Evolution isn't linear. 6 months ago:
I haven’t mixed up anything. Smaller to bigger to smaller again is not a linear progression in size going always upward, which is what happens in games and in people’s misconceptions.
- Comment on No more 12345: devices with weak passwords to be banned in UK 6 months ago:
That list is fascinating. abc123 is near the top, then like 20 more down is a1b2c3, and then much further down is 123abc. What?
- Comment on Evolution isn't linear. 6 months ago:
The title and the meme are correct. Many people think that evolution means becoming bigger and physically stronger and having more powerful offensive capabilities and smarter and faster etc. But in reality evolution can just as easily mean becoming smaller, weaker, dumber, and slower
- Comment on It's time to let go 6 months ago:
LPT you can freeze lemons. The texture might change, but you can still use it in some cooking applications and juicing it will still be fine. (After defrosting of course)
