Strong disagree.

Put a guy back 200 years ago with the concept of things to come and let the great thinker of the time stand on the shoulders of an Everyman from today, we would be at least a hundred years ahead of where we are currently.

There were some very intelligent people back then who just didn't know the rules of the game they were playing. They had to figure out the rules so future inventors could build off of them.

Go back 200 years and say "everything is made of things from the periodic table, it has rows and columns" and you instantly revolutionize chemistry. If you know of acids and bases you're even further along. There are ways to communicate long distances without using sounds or visible light, boom twenty years later I guarantee someone will have figured it out, it's terribly obvious once you know it's possible, but why would you assume invisible communication is possible since it's so outlandish to our seemingly natural everyday rules?

The only thing you need to do is survive being proclaimed a heretic, you need to get open minded thinkers to hear you, because the closed mindedness was even more entrenched in society than it is today.

Dang that was the first 3d printer company that had me intrigued... Hopefully this is making hay is a short lived field, but it's not great publicity

I don't think anyone wants to be between boobs on a sweaty day. Apologies if my opinion is not welcome here.

You don't need an expert to tell you this is bullshit, it's complete bullshit, the president is a citizen of the United States like the rest of us.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I was just thinking about that.. would be a pretty silly game.I might have a chance against warf, but I think I'd fold out every time...

Guess I'm just going to have to sell that sucker, I'm hoping to get 8 figures off of it, but I'll honestly be happy with 6. What will I ever do....

Just wait until they figure out how many quintillions of precious metals are in the earth...

That's where we just sent 40 billion dollars for beef right? I'm sure the farmers enjoyed splitting 40 million dollars

Cool, can we do Russia next? Pretty sure that's our president and 33% of the supreme Court

Soon they'll all have better electric vehicles and public transit infrastructure than we Americans could ever dream of.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

It should only take one, but the supreme Court has, only recently, decided a single court cannot make a nationwide injunction. Unless they have a special way to do it, by being Republican supported.

Ask me again and I'll tell ya the same

 

I'm kinda devastated, I'd been keeping a list of places my wife and I have been wanting to eat at across the world. I know a bunch of tabs with Google searches isn't a great way to keep a list, but it was what I was doing.

They were moved into "archived tabs" whenever that became a thing, and now I've just learned there was a change that defaulted archived tabs into being removed after so many days of inactivity.

I don't know when this went into effect, and I don't know how I'd search my history to find a bunch of closed Google searches, but if anyone has any ideas when this change went into effect so I could narrow my search, or any ideas on how to bring back dead groups of tabs, I could really use some assistance. Until then I'm just going to scroll through my history... Which feels so futile.

Edit to add: I had even named the tab group, I searched in the history for the tab group name and was unsuccessful.

 

19 states have "no more changing the clocks" laws passed, but aren't allowed to do so without approval of the federal government?

It's pretty obvious you can just do what you want these days, consequences are trivial to non-existent, so why don't we just not change our clocks? (or change them and not change them back, whatever floats your boat)

 

It doesn't announce the date in the video, but in the description. The video is more teasing goodness.

I hope they'll do constant interviews soon

Not the Tesla, the car in front of it, it's got a very unique tail light array, I'm thinking it's one of the new smaller ev producers, but maybe it's something Japanese with a less common trim package?

Thanks for the assist, I'm quite infatuated with it's styling.

I believe the badge was red, and there are 5 letters beneath it (so not Jaguar)

 

I've been a subscriber to humble choice since day 1.

I went back through the last 2 years of bundles (average about 1.5 activations per month) and added games to my account.

Next time I get the urge to buy something "because it's on sale" I'll go back and add things I've already paid for.

His collar tag matches his personality, and his chompers, perfectly. Care to guess what it is?

 

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

 

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

 
 

I'll probably check in again at 34 hours.

 

I don't know how I got this job, sure it doesn't pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don't know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would've moved closer if I was her). She trained me very briefly because I knew most of the ins and outs already, she told me the boss had been in and out of remission with bone cancer, but the last flair up was taken care of years ago.

It's been 7 years since he was first diagnosed, and he's had 2 replacements, they won't do a third. He doesn't want to try the experimental treatments because he'd rather enjoy the time he has.

I've worked for him for 3 years and I feel so greedy wanting to scream at him to try every avenue available. He has 3 amazing kids, a wife and in-laws who live him, he loves coming into work, he just finished renovating his forever home. And I don't want a different boss. I need more time with my mentor, my friend, the best boss I've ever had.

I just learned this morning, and it's really raw, I need to get it off my chest, I don't want to steal time from his family, but I want to take from him as much as I can. He's a genius in the field, the person he's trying to get to replace him is remarkable younger guy, but he's my age, he doesn't have the life experience that I've found myself looking to my boss for.

Fuck cancer.

Thanks off my chest. Hug your loved ones. Tell your dog they're good, scratch your cat. Enjoy the moments of extra nice weather.

 

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder
