People have been working on inertial fusion energy for decades, and not simply because they like playing with stadium-sized, $5-billion-dollar laser facilities. Internet commenters who multiply two numbers to calculate a laser efficiency an

How are they going to be banned? Or are we just talking about banning the lame “durr, I asked cGPT and here’s what it said” responses? Those get downvoted anyway because they got boring real fast, especially since cGPT is free and open to a

I guarantee most of them don't give a shit, they bought an SUV because it's practical and convenient and the incremental increase in operating costs, fuel consumption, etc. is inconsequential.

How does switching to a 4-day week stop procrastination, time wasting, daydreaming, pointless meetings, etc.? If that's so easy, why not stop doing those things and keep the 5-day week?

There are some activities of daily life that I do without thinking (most of them, in fact). Moving my limbs while walking up the stairs, driving to the corner store and stopping at a traffic light, recognizing a stop sign at a glance, readi

A 50 mm lens on a full-frame sensor will render an equivalent perspective to a 32 mm lens on an APS-C sensor. You can easily verify this by taking an 24-70 zoom lens on a full-frame sensor, taking one image at 50 mm in full-frame mode and a

We don't put people in jail merely for killing someone by accident. There needs to be an additional component of recklessness, carelessness, etc.
