Bit of an awkward scale for a ruler, but I can sell you one from -6.6666666… to -6.65 goobs.
- Comment on Half as Hot 2 weeks ago:
0 K is like when there is 0 heat basically, while celsius isn’t. Imagine a unit for distance called “good” where 0 goobs is 100 m and 1 goob is 115 m. In that case the goob unit would behave differently than a meter when you multiply and divide because 0 of the units don’t actually correspond to “nothing” in a physical sense. That’s exactly how the Celsius scale is, with zero being placed somewhere arbitrarily, not at a physical zero.

Yeah, you would only need to burn a little bit more on your initial burn, that’s why I said the cost would be similar.
- Comment on Launches 1 month ago:
It’s definitely harder to decay the orbit into the sun directly than it is to get to escape velocity. But to play devil’s advocate, there is probably a way to get them into the sun while being a similar cost to escape velocity. All you need to do is burn prograde to a super high aphelion, ride all the way out there to Pluto or whatever and then do a small retrograde burn to bring your perihelion inside the sun’s photosphere. When you then get back towards the sun years later you would slam into it with a sick velocity that I think would be worth the decades-long wait.

No that’s not really the case, the earth will be destroyed.

Probably not, but the people who just got a job maybe would.

I mean if a state removed the TSA and spent the money on something else, surely they could use the money to create as many jobs as they removed but in an actual useful field.

- Comment on You are in this solar system, but we do not grant you the rank of planet 6 months ago:
No, because if it’s a proper planet it will clear its orbit.

In your last paragraph, most of the places you write watts you mean watt hours. Good reminder that Wh is a bad unit, since it’s too easy to confuse with watts.
- Comment on freedom units be like 11 months ago:
Yeah they aren’t a unit in the sense that they make a non-quantifiable measure quantifiable. In dimensional analysis they would have the dimension [1]. But they can still be regarded as a unit since they act in the exact same way, just like other factors do. But yeah, they are more akin to the SI prefixes like kilo, or something like a dozen or a gross.

It had lemonade in its name, was next to all other soft drinks including lemonade and water , but contained more caffeine than a redbull and a monster energy drink combined. That is not what a regular consumer would expect.

Am I reading this wrong or is this straight up racist as fuck?
- Comment on We live in a society 11 months ago:
The difference is it was marketed as soda, not as a caffeinated drink, so it’s a little more nuanced than that. See Legal Eagle’s video on the topic, it’s quite a good breakdown of the situation.

Thank you. Everyone knows history is yellow and science is green, it’s a trivial fact.

Yes, let’s combat racism with more racism, way to go.

It’s for the id cards.
- Comment on So true 1 year ago:
It’s also not odd, so that doesn’t work. But to answer your question, it is a number yes.
- Comment on Phasers set to "Bitch please" 1 year ago:
Well that’s not what it means. It means being aware of and opposed to systemic injustices in our society, that’s all it means.
- Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses? 1 year ago:
Trump is not being put on trial for lying per se. The lying however is part of the furtherance of a criminal conspiracy, which is illegal. So with regards to Bush, he can’t be charged with lying to the American people. It can however be used as evidence against him if it was part of furthering a criminal conspiracy.
- Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses? 1 year ago:
It’s not illegal to not do that. The legal framework to deal with that is impeachment and trial by Congress.
- Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses? 1 year ago:
Another point to add. It is not illegal for anyone to lie, so unless he was testifying under oath, Bush could lie as much as he wanted without legal repercussions.
