Alexander the Great when asked: Hey, look, that Grindr thing is really interesting.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 9 hours ago:
we could divert natural gas from other uses and have plenty for making ammonia. We also have other ways of producing hydrogen
We can’t do any of those in a scale large enough to replace the destruction and have it online for the next planting season on the North Hemisphere. Or the next one on the South Hemisphere either, btw. Or the following ones for each.
- Comment on 'Punish Iran': Saudi Arabia and UAE inch closer to supporting US-Israeli war 2 days ago:
The press has been reporting they inching towards it for 3 weeks now. I don’t doubt it’s true, but I wonder how many inches are still in there.

Eh… You mean that a license plate is not personally identifying in Europe or that the post violates privacy laws in Europe?
- Comment on I rember! 2 days ago:
They absolutely do apply to license plates. It’s just that the post doesn’t break any.
- Comment on The Gang Solves Climate Change 3 days ago:
You can’t just scale it that quickly. Some of it will be replaced by coal, not all.

It doesn’t matter what time you think it’s the right one, the black hole will get it anyway.

Generative AI is a name for some ways you can use AI, not for its architecture.
There’s space to discuss if DLSS is it or not. But your argument is baseless.

Wow. So I went looking if people actually knew when our codon system appeared.
Turns out that there are 26 slightly different systems on Earth right now, and there are good reasons to expect random alien life to have a system that looks like ours, but is different enough to not be compatible.

It’s extremely unlikely that their DNA has the same translation semantics into proteins.

You may want to watch the video.

There are 6 of them, and the yellow jackets are only relevant there. Before you pointed I didn’t notice they are protesters.
I just assumed they were people working around moving and assembling the thing.

Oh man… I hate to blow your bubble, but that guy is just repeating something that was under serious consideration about 50 years ago.
He probably just remembers the proposals, and not the problems people found in it.

Nah, both carbon and hydrogen can absorb neutrons just fine,

Yeah, lying on your visa application form will cause that.

Hum… I’ve watched many movies based on his book, but I wouldn’t recognize anyone that took part in any, or even the movie names. So, IDK.
- Comment on Talk about hat hair... 1 week ago:
Eh… I have no idea who that is and how popular that person has become. So, I don’t know about people being convinced to look like this.

As far as I know, they haircut was always there.

Maybe the Lebanon should start a paper balloon launching tradition.

That’s what a chemist looks like nowadays. Including the physics undergrad course.
- Comment on owo 1 week ago:
You can push electrons into a capacitor if you don’t connect the other side. A few of them, but you do.
There are electrostatic generators that work by pushing electrons on one side and pulling from the other of some insulator that moves between those two. But you can’t sustain a steady state of only one of those actions.
- Comment on Retvrn To Tradition 1 week ago:
Just to point to the people that weren’t there yet, the US made a lot of noise on the press every time they “found” some of the chemical weapons they sold to Iraq in the 80s that were stored in UN-approved deposits because Iraq had no means of destroying them.

they smell bad IRL
They smell about as bad as a feral cat. What they do is they make you smell bad if you scare them.
- Comment on xkcd #3217: Home Remedies 1 week ago:
You don’t have a home remedy for removing skunk smell, removing gum from hair or curing a hangover?

Iran has been out of the petrodollar system since the maximalist sanctions the US imposed in 1995. Sanctioned countries don’t have a use for dollars.
- Comment on War. War never changes. 1 week ago:
The Second World War was pretty much all done on drugs.

You were not born when the decoupling began.
As recently as the 1970s, the world was getting unambiguously more coupled. As recently as the 1990s, it was ambiguously so.
And decoupling only started to really happen last year. Before that it was going in a glacial pace.
- Comment on Checkers, not chess. 1 week ago:
I wonder if this is the final nail that will decouple the world economy from the dollar.
But then, I suppose the plan was to decouple the world from the dollar all the time. Trump is clearly playing 5D connect-4.

You mean they trying to end the world is distracting people from the time the cartoonish villains tried to take over the world?
Yeah, it’s kind of a safe bet.
