- Comment on JUST DO PSYCHEDELICS LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE 3 days ago:
“Drugs” is a pretty wide net, and yeah most of them would make it more difficult. Someone who isn’t me once told me that psychedelics make it a lot easier to follow really abstract thought, and that comes in handy when trying to imagine theoretical geometries our brains and other sensory equipment didn’t evolve to comprehend
- Comment on Anon isn't fooled by planes 5 days ago:
Bruh some of the earliest planes were literally called biplanes. The gay has been complicit in aviation demon magic since the very beginning.
- Comment on JUST DO PSYCHEDELICS LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE 5 days ago:
No no, I think there’s a misunderstanding here. If you can accurately describe to me what an n-brane is or have ever used terms like “deformation in the local topology”, I assume you’ve done SIGNIFICANTLY more psychedelics than most people. I’ve never had easier access to psychedelics in my life than when I spent most of my time near the math buildings at uni.

Normally I’d have your back with the translation but I can’t understand the cockney accent OP is speaking with
- Comment on Uncultured 2 weeks ago:
Telomeres are a structure on DNA. These things, aglets, are a common metaphor used to describe the function of telomeres as aglets basically do for shoelaces what telomeres do for DNA

I’d tell you to get off my lawn, but I was born in the 90s so I don’t own a lawn and statistically never will
- Comment on It puts the frequency in the bucket or it gets the sigterm again 3 weeks ago:
From the moment I understood the weakness of my analytical math, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of numerical methods. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Statistics. Your kind cling to your transforms, as though they will not decay and fail you.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 4 weeks ago:
I could probably discover electricity, depending on where I landed. Jewelers of the time could make wire, copper was common, and magnets (lodestones) had been discovered. Realistically though I’d be a dumb giant (ie, speak no known languages of the time and statistically I’d have like a foot on the “tall” people of the era). I’d probably try to find some party trick that looked like magic to people of the era then hope that people would welcome and try to integrate me rather than burning me as a witch. Then I’d probably die in a week or two anyway to some disease lol

Couldn’t tell ya. Iirc they were pretty much all killed by data by the time the LHC reached 12TeV collisions, and I’ve been in a different field since then

Later, the bartender collected their Nobel prize for observing and writing about a meson that stayed stable for the duration of a short conversation

Rip in pieces, every supersymmetry based theory :(

Don’t we still have a few years before lemmy somehow enshittifies?
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t be too surprised if you could achieve that kind of density for a few fractions of a second with explosive powered compression. I’m thinking something like the electromagnetic flux compression technique used by Nakamura et al to make the 1200T magnetic field back in 2018. The package absolutely wouldn’t exist for long though lol
- Comment on Bet 5 weeks ago:
Yeah bruh. I don’t want to fight. I hate fighting and violence. I just want to make number bigger, and the gym is one of the only places I feel safe to have emotions. The fact that I can squat a quarter of a ton now is just an inevitable side effect of the first three things. Please don’t focus your inferiority complex on my coping mechanism

- Comment on Given how paintball guns work, could you swap paintballs for a waterballs? 1 month ago:
Paintballs are trickier than just a water balloon. They have to be rigid/strong enough to survive the blast of co2 or compressed air that propels them, then they have to be soft enough to break on impact without harming the other player.
They also just aren’t that messy. I worked under the table as a referee at a Paintball place when I was 13, and we played such that gameplay didn’t stop when refs were doing paint checks. We’d toss people out if they were intentionally focusing on us but I got lit up probably 10+ times a day, every weekend for 2 years. My jersey and slider pants came clean in the wash every time, and to this day the only lasting blemishes are the shredded fabric on the knees/elbows/ass from when I dove and slid a lot.
- Comment on Whats your thoughts on this? 1 month ago:
Oh dang, I totally missed the name of this community when I commented. My knowledge of and opinions on rf connectors come from working on large aircraft mounted systems, where turbulence can cause a nightmare of threaded connector sleeves vibrating loose and bent pins. In this situation you either need vibration damping or a more mechanically robust connector like BNC
- Comment on Whats your thoughts on this? 1 month ago:
SMA or bust. The other three connector types introduce a lot of noise compared to SMA in my experience. BNC is my goto if I want a noise profile similar to SMA but the device I’m working with isn’t vibration damped.

I could see this kind of idea being wildly popular for ttrpg dungeon masters. If you know anybody who owns multiple 20 sided die there’s a good chance they’ve done some amout of fantasy world building before

- Comment on Soldier who died in Cybertruck left writing criticizing government, authorities say 4 months ago:
I mean, at the end of the day the American military is primarily a force of blue color workers that have been swimming in propaganda for their entire career which tells them that the most honorable thing they can possibly do is die to protect their family and their country. At some point a lot of them are going to have the realization that rich men in America are a far greater danger to their country and loved ones than the goat herders they’ve been killing in the desert for the last 3 decades. I’d bet that every American billionaire is individually responsible for more American deaths in the past 30 years than the entirety of the middle east combined. Realizing that you’re a stormtrooper rather than the freedom fighter you were told you would be is a tough pill to swallow.
I’ll never be able to forget the sight of a pile of burning corpses and I’ll never forget the pain I’ve seen my friends and family go through to get an insurance company to pay for things like insulin or cancer treatment. The growing number of people in/previously in the American military who have had these kind of experiences is a massive problem for the oligarchs.

I’ve never believed in god, but I think I can believe in saints now after Saint Luigi and Saint Javelin
- Comment on Anon tries to help 5 months ago:
Identifying flirting when you’re autistic is hard. I did an extra-cirricular in highschool that involved regular travel for tournaments. One time while on one of those trips a girl on the team knocked on my hotel room door and asked if she could sleep in my room because her roommate was being loud, so I let her in and she slept with me in my bed. I mean slept in a very literal sense; I took her at face value and thought she was just trying to get better sleep for the tournament the next day. I did not understand that she was flirting with me until years later when the roommate who was “being loud” that night tore into me for rejecting her and destroying her self esteem. The kicker is that I was into her, I just had no idea she liked me. It seems very plausible to me that anon is/was that bad at identifying flirting
- Comment on levitation 5 months ago:
I had to be at the mag lab in Tallahassee semi regularly during my undergrad, where they would demonstrate the magnetic levitation of a frog from time to time. The place had systems with cryo pressure high enough to turn an improperly sealed hatch into a very deadly projectile for anybody unlucky enough to be in the same room
