Roger, that makes sense. I… might actually watch this now LOL

I’m not really down to watch a 90 minute video on the dramas of astrophysics, so I’m not sure what it says, but interestingly Sabine Hossenfelder took an extremely minor swipe at him not too long ago. Guess the dude is at least legit-enough

I worked for a financial org with over a trillion in assets, and they had a 100% acceptable variance on project length predictions. Made for a laid-back atmosphere at work but boy. How they ever swung that is beyond me. “We predict a year,

Thanks to blackbody radiation, every human skydiver briefly becomes a star by this definition! ;) It needs a core generating energy through fusion, which has density requirements, for what it’s worth.

To add on to the other response, think of it like the star “leaking” into space. It’ll be defined as a pretty radically different size at some point in the future, even as it’s still undergoing fusion.

I think it has become common, but I never heard it until a few years ago. Now it's seemingly everywhere. When I was a kid, it was just "Here kitty kitty" or making a clicking noise with your tongue or something.

The wiki article on it says it was known to locals. I think the problem is that they kept describing tilcayo, and everyone who wasn't there but was listening said "Oh that sounds exactly like an oncilla. must be a second name or s

Yeah, but that’s probably easier to solve than eventually losing the whole dang structure!

I’ve read that if you’re trying to overturn a habit with a new habit, it’s best to undo whatever it is you did the old way, then redo it the new way. So if you want to use ctrl-r, but you’re using the up key, use the down key to navigate ba

I’m certain engineers have considered this, but it doesn’t seem answered anywhere: why not just pump the original brine back in to move around the oil? Wouldn’t that at least prevent eroding the storage unit and causing it to fail? Unrelate

I’ll never understand people so desperate to find villains in the world.

Well yeah, it’s not a faultless thing. If you’re being reckless and insane they obviously fire you, but literally nobody does that. It’s not an easy job to get, you’d be throwing away a great career. Closest you’ll come is someone getting f

Well no, you can only be 100% certain you're reading the text found in that book. Books often change over releases. It's not some sacred tome containing an ever-updating reflection of the author's ideals. It's just the d

Have you tried just not looking at it from a 9 mile high horse?

Pretending to be too stupid to understand my point isn't helping you as much as you think it is. Rewording my jokes also isn't helping you like you think it is. You made an insane statement that only a complete fuckin moron co

Ah shit, that one word does change the whole meaning of the sentence. Well, at least we brought attention to it over the course of four comments instead of this just being the first response lol

If there isn’t a very strong incentive to share, nobody will. If there is, people will just share it as much as possible to get money, consequences be damned.

“AdSense has got to go” should include OP’s use if they truly believe that. That’s what the person you’re responding to is saying.

You’re going to steal in response to stealing…? Unless you’re of the opinion that since it’s data, it’s not stealing?

Yes, I know. 99.9% of those shootings are kids who have zero emotional self-control, zero outlets, zero friends, and access to a gun. It's not a terrorist. There is a dictionary definition of a terrorist. I don't know how much mor

Does this affect signal strength? I'm just annoyed I can't get more than two bars at home, or talk on the phone and take a shit at the same time.

You didn't specify those - you specified "shootings". It's not my fault you're unable to actually make your point known.

I’m not in the industry, so I can’t speak intelligently on this, but as a user, literally the only change I’ve actually noticed in my day-to-day is that when they removed 3G, I lost a shitload of connectivity. I live probably half a mile fr

Is this a serious question? Because it was a terrorist group killing people to make a point, not somebody who has lost their sanity and, failing to have any other outlets, takes it out on the weak. How are people THIS dense?

Accidents. The aviation industry is the worst example you could use. Every single time, the goal is to find the issue, NOT the blame. The industry is insanely safe in large part BECAUSE they refuse to frame it as a crash, and instead frame

You think they were doing it on purpose every time someone is in an accident, or you think every time someone says "accident", they're referring to or you're purposely missing the nuance to make a point nobody agrees wit

Maybe if you have zero understanding of things like emotion and humanity, and also cannot tell the difference between an accident and a mass murder . Otherwise, this is surface-level insanity.
