- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 4 days ago:
Taller is more expensive. That’s all.
If you have the space to go wider, that’s what everyone does. - Comment on How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care? 5 days ago:
Yah. But you realize that someone could simply lie to you right?
- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 5 days ago:
Thata what focus means.
If you’re spliting your focus onto several things, you’re not actually focusing anymore. - Comment on why are fitness weights filled with sand? 5 days ago:
Cheaper. More flexable.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 6 days ago:
We’re not just looking at individual “donations” to single politicians. But hundreds of them, to all the politicians. And even more to create a massive “People’s PAC” that gets continuous reliable funding for donations, adds, fake studies and all the other crap we have to fight.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 6 days ago:
They go to the highest bidder.
And the wealthy have enough now to outbid whatever we come up with. - Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 6 days ago:
Even large groups of people can’t put together enough money.
It also costs a lot of money to organise that kind of thing. - Comment on Noob RAM speed question 1 week ago:
It’s all a question of do you run out of memory often?
If you were going from 16 to 32GB, I’d say no. Because you probably don’t max out the 16GB every day. Maybe you do. There are ways that could happen.
But with only 8GB, you’re likely hitting that limit often. So yes I’d go to a slower 16GB in a heartbeat.
- Comment on How do you respond to unwanted advice? 1 week ago:
Option A: Try it.
Option B: Ask for details about why it’s better. Option C: Ignore them. Option D: Destroy the thing or person they love most in this world, and coldly smile at their lamentation. - Comment on Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially? 1 week ago:
Nope
- Comment on How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a really cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)? 1 week ago:
That’s literally the point if it’s existence.
- Comment on How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a really cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)? 1 week ago:
Maybe you should start “No! Stupid Question”
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 2 weeks ago:
Yes It’s just “Owned” with a “P” at the beginning. P-Owned.
Just like you pronounce “Boned”. - Comment on why are upper middle class or upper class people hated? (if they are) 2 weeks ago:
Uppen middle? No not at all.
Upper? Maybe a little. Mostly misplaced.
The upper of the upper of the upper? Yes absolutely! Because they use their billions to by politics and rig the world so they get more at everyone else’s expense.
- Comment on what if Jeffrey Epsteins mansion would've blown up? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think they were all there at the same time.
- Comment on what is the best fruit to leave in a fridge? 2 weeks ago:
This yes! Apples last for several weeks if you keep them cold.
- Comment on when are the upcoming political elections held in america? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. True. Never Nov 1st.
- Comment on when are the upcoming political elections held in america? 2 weeks ago:
US elections are held every year on the first Tuesday in November. Exactly which offices, national or local is variable.
Occasionally there are runoff or special elections that might happen outside that. But they tend to be pretty random, and local.
- Comment on How did we go from being against fake pictures of the moon to accepting things like changing out the entire sky? 3 weeks ago:
Sure it can. Just like one can mean anything between 27 and 7649.
- Comment on How did we go from being against fake pictures of the moon to accepting things like changing out the entire sky? 3 weeks ago:
Several years ago? That was barely 2.5 years ago. And nobody really cared. It was just a story for one news cycle. And they didn’t about the moon replacement. They cared about the lie, claiming that it was still their actual picture. As long as the company is honest about lying people are fine with it. They’ll even believe it’s real. Rump taught us that.
- Comment on What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence? 3 weeks ago:
Non-Denominational Polythism would be the term, I think.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Wrong community.
- Comment on What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over? 4 weeks ago:
Make it a high end wedding venue.
Partition it out as apartments for the homeless.
Sell it to The Wizards.
Make it an escape room.
- Comment on How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue? 4 weeks ago:
That low end of 100 would be with full eugenics. Selecting for genetic diversity, not for “hotness”.
If you were selecting for that, it would mean less genetic diversity, you might start seeing problems within 5 generations.
- Comment on How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue? 4 weeks ago:
This has been modeled. Though I don’t have any references at hand, this is what I remember.
If you want to allow people to choose mates and breed normally, you’d need at least 3000 people 4 to 5000 would be better.
If you are strictly controlling genomes and breeding pairs, ignoring monogamy and social norms. You might be able to get away with 100 if you selected for maximum initial genetic diversity. But 200 would be easier.
- Comment on Why does markdown treat linefeeds as spaces? 4 weeks ago:
Two linefeeds will be two paragraphs.
Like that.
Two spaces are needed before a linefeed to make the one paragraph.
Like this. - Comment on Why does markdown treat linefeeds as spaces? 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure how it’s more or less trivial if you’re using a phone or desktop. In either case it’s extremely trivial.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
No it doesn’t. There are only, like… five people in it
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
That’s completely out of context. That image doesn’t even have everybody in it.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
Dave doesn’t. In fact, he agrees it hasn’t
