  What are the chances that visiting Steven Hawking is the most interesting/fun thing you can do, if you could freely time travel?

  Not only that, apparently the machine he used to speak was rather difficult to use quickly, and drafting responses could take hours or days depending on how much needed said. Pretty much all of his appearances after he was unable to use his voice were heavily scripted ahead of time.

  So unless you’re visiting Steven Hawking when he still could talk, it’d be pretty boring as you couldn’t have a proper back-and-forth conversation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the crux of the law suit

  The plaintiffs making the claim doesn’t make it fact like you’re suggesting. The entire lawsuit is hinging on a single email from years ago. That’s not steady ground.

  This is doubly true when you actually look at prices on other storefronts. How was EGS able to have lower prices or even give games away for free when said games were/are available on Steam at the same time?

  No, Veritasium did the experiment and proved Veritasium right

  And it’ll total to about a buck for each person that claims, because the lawyers are going to take almost all the money and you’re suckling their bollocks for no reason

  Choosing not to release on Steam isn’t easy because it’s not a balanced market, at all.

  It’s not Steam’s fault that the majority of the competition sucks ass.

  but they take a ludicrous portion of game revenue.

  It’s a standard cut for online storefronts, even today. And they even reduce their once game sales hit certain mile stones. It gets down to around 20%. The only reason anyone talks about it is because Tim Swiney harps on it nonstop because he wants to be the one with the monopoly

  Personally, I have always been in fabour of replacing human drivers with AI

  AI is overkill for this, like the vast majority of its applications

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a nice guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and then every physics and electrics youtuber had a reply video explaining how Veritasium was wrong with his theory.

  Veritasium’s first video was making the claim that a thr setup with wires stretching in either direction for a mile would have the lightbulb turn on faster than electrons or even light could travel through the wires. This is because the electric field extends out of the wire in all directions, not through the wire, and inducts through the other end of the wire without travelling all of the distance.

  Then a bunch of other Youtubers made response videos saying he was wrong.

  Then Veritasium made a second video where they actually did the experiment and proved themselves right.

  You don’t know what you’re talking about. Shut up.

  Building the animatronics, filming, and editing still take time. According to Wikipedia, filming took place entirely in 1992 and post-production ended in May 1993.

  They’d still be large for cassowaries, just not the size of a truck.

  But yes, that’d be terrifying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truth hurts!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  visualise a Cassowary the size of a large truck.

  But velociraptors were actually about the size of medium-large dogs. When Jurrasic Park was making the models, the consultants stated the length from head to tail, and the modellers thought they were referring to height

  And the sphere is specifically large enough so that the curvature is too small to measure. Except every experiment that they’ve done to prove the Earth is flat just ends up proving that it’s a sphere (or close enough) of the size we’re taught in school.

  All flat Earthers are fucking stupid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon scares the neighbors⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least when carrying it, having it loaded and cocked is normal. The holster keeps the trigger covered, and any not-garbage firearm (read: not Sig P320) is drop safe in case of accidents. And that extra half second to rack the slide can be the difference between getting killed by an attacker or successfully defending yourself in an emergency.

  And if they live alone and/or have a safe built into their nightstand I can kinda see their point, though I personally alway leave mine chamber empty
