I wouldn't expect an exhaust plume passing through a wormhole to move the wormhole itself (or the heavily curved "portals" at its ends) any more than a plume would move "flat"/"normal" spacetime. Sepa

Fun! Two suggestions: I'd like to see which partial I'm in. Perhaps a highlighted region behind the the instrument? Also I'd rotate the scrolling to be more like moving the slide: make the slide move toward me when I scroll t

I'll give the benefit of the doubt to someone with 25 years experience that they know the difference between a true 10Xer and one who 10Xes by leaving 20X of tech debt in their wake.

Funny and disgusting, well-executed satire! I wish there was a browser extension or other automation that could decline/minimally configure these things correctly. Fight scale with scale, you know?

"highly problematic individual" is as lazy as saying someone's "bad" or "evil" just in more modern wording. Be more specific please. And that link doesn't help either: it's just a picture of the

we should be far far more tolerant of people fucking up. Absolutely. And the Law is not perfect, not perfectly applied, nor unchanging. I'd say we can demonstrate our collective tolerance through efforts like the right to be

As impressive as an aircraft carrier with solar escape velocity would be, I'm betting that's a typo. A 50km/s vessel carrying hypersonic missiles would be like bringing turtles on a transatlantic flight!

The phrase "six-figure salary" is so strange. We're almost always referring to slightly above $100K. Does anyone ever say "I make six figures" and mean $900K, or even half a million?
