I think if people have 400 page book long passwords it doesn’t really need a unique hash

You boil a full kettle with citric acid and you’re done.

Long here means a 400 page book as a password.

I use instant coffee, I just need a kettle.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
Patents have an expiry for a reason and the expiry date is pretty generous IMO. It’s thought as “Startup x can invent and make money off it but after it the market should take over so further improvements can be made.” Imagine if they patented CRISPR Cas9 or the first DNA sequencing method. It would limit science for the entire time of the expiry but not after.
Claiming invention patent for the pokeballs more than 20 years after the game came out is absurd. They can keep the brand, trademark and IP for their weirdly long time but innovations should become public so the market can continue innovating.

So are they next going after unicorns that you capture?

Very relatable
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 2 weeks ago:
Correct, including 0% as a part of the answers would make 0% a wrong answer.
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 2 weeks ago:
You can never answer this question correctly. If the correct answer is 25% there’s a 50% chance you guess correctly but that would make the 25% wrong.
But if the answer is the 50% then it implies that 25% is correct which implies that 50% is wrong.
We reach a contradiction for both 25% and 50% making the correct answer to make the whole statement truthy 0%.

In response to calling a prophet bald:
“So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.” -New King James bible, 2 Kings 2:24
This is the real way to turn the other cheek

For further reading on this agreement it’s called the Bretton Woods agreement if anyone is interested.

I had a pentel pen and it was just amazing. Very good for finger spinning
- Comment on World travelers 2 months ago:
I’m gonna cast doubt on this. It happened too conveniently after people figured out long distance sea travel.
If they would have floated it’s much more likely that it happened somewhere in the last million years rather than the last 500.

Honey doesn’t expire but it crystalises giving it a different texture. You’d also have to check in on what happens to decades old honey

There’s a low budget version of the first Harry Potter movie in it’s entirety.

- Comment on Actually it's pretty cool 2 months ago:
I decided to read up on it since it looks a bit mental but once you know why it makes a lot of sense.
Plasma is charged and needs to be contained with magnets because it’ll melt anything it touches.
To use the magnets uniformly on a donut shaped cloud of particles will cause the particles drift and hit the wall because the donut has particles traveling short distences close to the donut hole and long on the rim. The particle will eventually drift into the wall and destroy the reactor.
So fuck it, squash the donut and twist it around and now all of parts of a cross section traveling around the donut are traveling equally long distance.

I thought it meant that “Here no questions are stupid” where it implies you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about asking strange or simple questions.

And no one went up to it with an angle grinder? Pretty sure you can cut it with a diamond blade.
- Comment on Working below minimum wage to save the planet 3 months ago:
I mean it’s not that crazy if it saves you a trip to whatever store.
Going to a single place to replace something can take an hour so we can subtract that. Getting paid $5 an hour for a fun activity is also an absolute steal.
