I never said they weren't weird to reason about. Side effects are hard to reason about. I was responding to the claim that hooks "push the boundaries of the language". Closures work exactly the same as they always do, but

Half a curie is an extremely dangerous source! An acquaintance of mine who ran a research reactor for something like ten years was surprised they made a 0.5 Ci Cs-137 at that gauge. He had expected a mining source to be in the tens of mCi r

> 1. The dreaded helium leakage. It might not be a problem at all. Think of a party balloon of the foil type. It stays afloat for weeks. And it has positive pressure. A neutral pressure one would leak much less. But maybe not to zero. Ok

I should have said "or are you saying they were esteemed greater than the other houses of the Amanyar?", as there were also Teleri and (as you said) Vanyar who came across the sundering sea.

This is a small selection of the games I’ve recently played on the Steam Deck and been surprised by how flawlessly they performed and played: - God of War - Elden Ring - Final Fantasy VII Remake - Forza Horizon 5 - Jedi: Fallen Order - Spid

Eh, for me it’s largely replaced my extremely beefy gaming computer. I use the Steam Deck for so many games, including AAA titles like the Final Fantasy VII remake. It’s a shockingly good little device.

I don't have thoughts on the other points yet, but long form text and long form video are both the opposite of what I want from the platform. If I wanted either of those things I'd use Tumblr or Facebook. Similarly, I was very dis

My understanding is that the maximum should only be used for short periods of time, like for microwaves and hair dryers, rather than for sustained loads like a heater or computer. I think sustained loads are supposed to be 80% of the maximu

If someone manages to prove the racists are right then that will be a very weird world to live in and I have no idea how to speculate about it. I’d expect it’s about as likely as someone proving god exists, but I’ve seen overwhelming eviden

That's an absurd interpretation. They almost certainly mean that they're going to make sure to examine who's being let go for evidence of bias. If layoffs usually hit underrepresented groups harder, then the less racist thing

Here in Boston I've had several coworkers who consistently commuted by bike even when it was pouring out. They just wore rain suits, had waterproof panniers, and presumably weren't trying to maintain a 20 mph pace.

The situation is more complicated than that though. The apparent vagueness is not a sign that there is wiggle room, but rather that there are existing contradictions the author didn’t manage to resolve. The reason the origins of the Orcs ch

In the source material they look pretty much just like Men. The most consistent difference seems to be their height (they’re taller than Men) and the fact that their bodies don’t really age at the same rate. There’s never any mention of the

This seems completely unrelated to the comment you're responding to. They were asking how the study figured out what the private opinions were, not about what sort of opinions they were hiding.
