We grow flawless crystals, slice them into perfect disks, engrave billions of arcane runes onto them with magical potions and rays of light, animate them with lightning, and make them do our bidding.

And then we give them an “intelligence” that can’t even count the Rs in strawberry…

That’s basically what parabolic flights for simulating low or no gravity are.

I’m not supposed to share this but I work in the Jewish space laser division and I can tell you that the weather control is actually done with other, invisible Jewish space lasers.

Yeah I don’t really understand why people care so much. If you don’t like game studios doing stuff like this, just don’t play their games. There are plenty of games out there with great Linux support you can play instead.

That doesn’t really help unless the bag is also soundproof; it could just as easily store what you say and send it off later.

Recreational purposes, like… having fun? How dare I play an older video game for free! I need to be constantly giving money to huge companies for increasingly terrible games! Won’t someone please think of the quarterly numbers!

Yeah you’re not gonna have a good time if you talk about politics here, as very few people share your beliefs. But there are plenty of non-political communities you can be a part of.

Yeah I got lucky with my battery; it’s at 800 cycles currently and still holds plenty of charge for my daily use. A replacement kit is also only $50 so I figure there’s not much point in trying to be efficient for a marginal lifespan improvement. I’ll probably end up replacing it when it hits 1000.

I think a two disk dual boot is safe. I’ve had that setup for a while and Windows hasn’t broken anything yet (though I only use it maybe once a month).

They can be over 6 hours with ideal conditions, which could be all night during the summer at higher latitudes. (On the summer solstice, my city only gets around 5 hours of night + astronomical twilight).

Yeah I’ve definitely been caught off guard by the different sellers selling identical products before. Check the URL and see if the ID is the same, it probably won’t be.

You may be right, seems like it only shows you posts by number of likes. But a burner account is nearly effortless to create anyways.

Is that a problem? You could already just view their posts without an account, or create a burner account. Might be a hot take, but I think someone with a public account shouldn’t expect to be able to hide it from specific people.

Well don’t waste the opportunity, go check out their raid farm!

I’m going to cut them some slack as it was a rubber bullet, and he wasn’t killed. It would still make far more sense to say “shot in head with rubber bullet” though.

An alternative argument: Water generally makes things “wet” due to it forming hydrogen bonds with said things. Water also readily forms hydrogen bonds with itself. Therefore, water is wet.

Technically speaking, no. The mantle, which is solid, comprises about 2/3 of the Earth’s mass. However at a planetary scale solids are not rigid enough to maintain their shape, so the Earth is closer to a liquid held together by gravity than to a rigid solid object. See this simulation for an interesting demonstration of its properties: https://youtu.be/kRlhlCWplqk

Probably, but I think you’d need to be a medical professional and have access to his other records. And I’m no expert but I imagine the scalp tumor is a lot more identifiable.

Excuse me, did they censor the man’s eyes in the MRI? Why???

Can they do that? I thought all two letter TLDs were reserved for ccTLDs only. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.
