Not In My Back Yard
It refers to people generally supportive of things, but not where they live.
Typical topics are energy/transport infrastructure or housing for refugees/homeless people. - Comment on Seeking for funding 1 week ago:
If you have a theory of everything, I suspect whatever algebraic structure the terms follow, is at least a ring and therefore has additive inverses.

You know how you can throw a frisbee at an angle that makes it come back to you in a straight line?
An angle that you can easily hit if you try to throw out of a trench… - Comment on Let's play this game again 4 weeks ago:
They don’t need to understand it, they just need to ask it a question that refers to it and some surrounding algorithmic structure to create the paradox.
A well prepared mathematician, skeptical of the functioning of the oracle devices could speak that question in a few minutes. - Comment on Let's play this game again 4 weeks ago:

You are hounded by mathematicians that want to apply the halting problem to the device.
If they ever get through and ask the question, reality breaks. - Comment on Let's play this game again 4 weeks ago:

Probably because she payed to be dead weight on the dick rocket that was marketed as the first all female space missions.
In reality Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space and because she flew solo it was also the first all female space mission. - Comment on What else are they hiding from us? 2 months ago:

It’s still a suffering animal, so we should get the most data we can out of every specimen. That should minimize the total amount of mice being used.
Also only studying some mice can lead to biased results. Iirc in the pace trial participants who dropped out because the intervention worsened their condition where not included in the end result. With rats the researchers could just chose the healthiest ones and just claim they selected randomly.
Rant:
The pace trial was a horrible study on a chronic disease that was conducted by the british health system with the goal of denying care.
The trial also had other systematic flaws like having a laxer definition of healthy at the end of the trial that at the beginning, meaning people who where sick enough to participate would be declared cured at the end even if nothing changed.
This study is still used to denie people’s lived experience and just call them lazy.
I don’t have a personal connection to any of this, but learning about it made me angry enough, that I must share this knowledge. - Comment on Society Troll 3 months ago:

I was a black hole analog built out of Bose-Einstein-Condensate.
Considering they used sound instead of light, wouldn’t that make it a silent hole? - Comment on BRASSICAS 3 months ago:
To all the veggie haters:
Broccoli recipe:
- Fry broccoli with paprika and small pieces of meat or tofu in a pan until brown.
- Add water and seasonings.
- Steam to desired hardness.
- Serve with rice or couscous.
Cauliflower recipe:
- Make brown butter by heating up butter and adding breadcrumbs to soak it up.
- Serve it on enough steamed cauliflower to justify the amount of brown butter you are about to eat.

It depends on the coalition that gets formed, does the conservative party go with the center left party for 4 years of stagnation or break their word and work with the fat right.
They have done the later already on emigration, passing a non-binding resolution (with only one conservative vote against) and narrowly losing on the second round because their own members of parlament didn’t show up to vote. - Comment on True Romance 4 months ago:
The non-pregnant parent wins, because they get the same genetic payoff but don’t have to spend the resources.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
It does in modern designs, the first time it happened was in 1952.
To quote Wikipedia:
The first thermonuclear weapon detonation, where the vast majority of the yield comes from fusion, was the 1952 Ivy Mike test of a liquid deuterium-fusing device.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
Mixed up fission and fusion there, they sound so similar in English.
The comment talks about fusion. - Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
Why is the second guaranteed to be smaller?
We know how nuclear bombs work. The majority of the energy comes from nuclear fission, a highly exothermic process, that can (in the foreseeable future) only be used in bombs.
If we don’t need to drop the bomb, but rather assemble it in place, it can just use deuterium as a fusion fuel. Deuterium can be distilled from normal water for much less energy that it generates in fusion. - Comment on At this rate, why not. 4 months ago:
Going of same value in the paper and wikipedia it would take the energy used by all of humanity in two months.
