You know that scene from riddick where the guy steps into the sun/desert storm and gets instantly vaporized? Thats what its like here in the summer. Every year my state sends everyone a letter telling them basically not to go outside. Winters are aight, they get a little cold. Coldest i can remember was about -10f or im guessing about -14C

Oh cool, TIL. Thanks

Theyre filled with saline so technically theyre safe. The issue is that most of the time they are not filled properly. Theyre left with a small air gap or have high amounts of oxygen in the saline. This means you can transplant bacteria or mold spores into the saline. Once the implant is sealed, this leads to a contained anerobic environment. This results in an implant absolutely loaded with bacteria where the saline can turn brown and look like apple sauce, or a moldy implant where the saline can turn black or green and become quite firm. If you pop either of those, you die.

Of course not, theyre the trump files now

We live in capitalism, so unfortunately id probably spend my time figuring out how to manage my new 95% higher workload for the same pay.

Pretty sure a lot of solder is lead based, for anyone needing to replicate this make sure you thoroughly clean the soldering iron.

Thats because this is a parody, presumably made around the time of the shooting, referancing when US senator Dean Browning did exactly this.

Theres also aliens that want to lock you in a zoo, aliens that want to rob you, aliens that want to assimilate you, and (assuming our biology is the only viable route for advanced life) refugees.

Isnt that only neccassary for anal? I dont possess the bits to test that theory, but its my understanding that it is something about the sphincter that tends to be the problem. Again, second hand source here, but it is my understanding that lady bits are kinda designed to be good at evacuating things. I would think your evacuator would also be ideal, but what do i know? Im not a buttologist. But id like to be ;) (cant figure out out to do subtext)

Im pro meritocracy! Thats very easily explainable. Its because of a couple factors, but the big ones are lack of generational wealth among minorities and a differance in avialability of opportunity.

Because of societal issues in the past, minorities were less positioned to take advantage of people the economy. This means they were unable to accrue generational wealth, which directly leads into support systems that every single person relies on. Without that generational wealth you are less likely to take risks, stunting further economic growth. It also limits your ability to network, which is how you gain influence.

This directly leads to lower quality of education, less vocational training, higher crime rates, and a slew of other issues, which all directly impact your ability to gain and maintain new skills.

I believe the best person available should be flying my plane. Under our current system, that “best person” is likely a white male pilot because he had the strongest support systems and the generational wealth required to grant him the opportunities to refine his skills. Im not racist for wanting the best pilot. I would be racist if i failed to recognise that that best pilot is going to be white due to historical imbalance of opportunity.

Yep, thats the key issue that so many people fail to understand. They want AI to be deterministic but it simply isnt. Its like expecting a human to get the right answer to any possible question, its just not going to happen. The only thing we can do is bring error rates with ai lower than a human doing the same task, and it will be at that point that the ai becomes useful. But even at that point there will always be the alignment issue and nondeterminism, meaning ai will never behave exactly the way we want or expect it to.

As far as i can tell, when you have to ask that, the answer is usually: cringe

Because russia thinks “we can take that and they wont risk defensing it or attempting to take it back because theyd be risking a nuclear disaster”

Its literally the exact same reasoning for why they didnt expect the rest of the world to get involved, because they have nukes.

Is mayonnaise a number?

Not much to argue. Shitty close gated community is shitty. The company speaks for itself, we dont even need to shame them.

Nah, you had a point until your last statement. What is barbarism if not the unjustified killing of a person based on their skin color? The only thing the original comment was missing is that we still hard that same primitve barbaric system, weve just restricted the worst of it to the lower class and minorities.

Oh, Isreal is testing the ceasefire again?

This looks so surreal, like it was taken by an electron microscope. Super cool!

I have no idea what would happen if you split one or even how youd “split” one(without ramming it into a high energy partical and letting it then decay, but thats just fusion with extra steps) but if you fused two youd get an antihelium particle. It would behave functionally identically to a regular helium atom except with opposite charge. I believe fusing two hydrogen gives you a loghtly positively charged helium, so fusing two antihydrogen would give you a slightly negative antihelium.

Fun fact, antiparticles are literally the same thing as a regular particle with its CPT symmetries reversed. You you can take a particle, swap its charge, swap its partity(or handedness, its the difference between what you look like and what you look like in a mirror, but its for quantum spin which doesnt really mesh well with our understanding of 3d space) and then swap its direction of travel through time and youre literally just looking at what looks to be an antiparticle.

I hope youre willing to die on that hill, because thats been the declining stance ever since Reagan declared war on the poor. We see how well that works in a system designed to protect and enshrine the rich.
