So despite the recent “reactions” from LTT, and just to bring this all back to the beginning… Thank you to Gamers Nexus for doing some damn necessary journalism, which couldn’t have been done without a high level of ethical, and technical competency.

I wish more people expressed their faith by caring for people.

I think the groundbreaking part was Dan O'Bannon’s note in the Alien script that gave us more amazing characters in Aliens.

“At the start of Dan O'Bannon’s script for Alien, there’s a note that few other screenplays contain: “The crew is unisex and all parts are interchangeable for men or women.” It’s a line that fundamentally altered the nature of the film, affecting everything from the presentation of its characters to the way Ridley Scott and his team approached casting, and it was certainly for the best.”

Looking forward to Lemmy.world pushing the block button when it comes to it…

When’s the last time you saw an engineer doing tensor calculus? And that said, whomever said Einstein wasn’t good at math has also never done tensor calculus.

Spoiler. This is exactly what it’s like having kids.

Y’all mad at it being AI, but I think you might have missed out on a very fun thermodynamics problem… How cold does it need to be outside to keep the beer at a chilled drinking temperature, but also how thick does the insulating layer need to be between them and the beer to keep them comfortable, without going hypothermic? I’ve been out of the physics game for a while so I cheated and asked AI.

- “Chilled beer” target: 4 °C 
- Skin temperature (inner surface facing the beer): ≈33 °)

- Beer thermal conductivity ≈ 0.6 W/(m·K)

- Heat-loss budget (steady-state) for comfort at rest ≈ 80 W per m²

- Required foam liner ≈ 9.4 mm (0.37 in)

Kind of bulky for an average outing but given a certain situation or event!

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AI is a really dumb content generator but can be an interesting fun fact approximater!

I love a good quantum tunneling meme.. Reduced probability, but not reduced energy!

I mean, I’m cool with redrawing the Canadian border… as long as we add the West Coast to Canada.

Fuck them red neck gate keepers who come from the suburbs to work downtown for the only work they can get. We are an asylum city and we don’t want you here!

That’s pretty great. I was just expecting this to be a clickbait letdown, but they seemingly found the right geometry for a sustainable energy solution that’s works for a specific industry. I call it a win!

“In this type of plant, coal is heated until it turns into coke, an ingredient used to make steel. When heated, coal releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other pollutants.”

I actually learned to love FreeCAD, and was originally running it on windows. It’s quirky, but very powerful, and keeps improving with each revision. With that, the switch to Linux was seamless.

What I heard in there is that America is one of the most dangerous places on earth because of gun violence. Weird that republicans say guns keep us safer, and that we should keep the most devastating weapons legal, and must absolutely lower the bar to the lowest level so anyone can obtain them in the name of American liberties. This administrations is filled with maggots that will continue fueling themselves off the dead bodies resulting from gun violence, while pinning the blame on the boogeyman, and not their policies and agendas.

Maggots.

Fuck him. I have not and never will support his brand.

Show me this setup in 6 weeks. I predict a disaster. I projecting my own experience… obviously.

This needs more attention!

Beetie-beetie rest in piece Buck. Loved that show.

It’s talking about parents giving 1 year olds and 2 year olds 1-4 hours of screen time a day. That amount of screen time for developing humans who sleep for a substantial part of the day is most likely poor stimulus in my opinion. I don’t see how you are jumping to parents prone to producing developmentally delayed children. You call nature. I call nurture. But just to check, which parents are more prone to producing children with developmental delays?
