Does this mean the British are a subset of ants?
- Comment on bisexual 3 days ago:
At least anecdotally, I’ve seen it happen multiple times. There’s this subset in the dating pool who want to give meeting with other women a try.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
lol so they can’t see anything outside the orbit. Just put a camera there.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
How would our satellites detect something outside normal orbits?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
They could easily send the signals away from us. How would we detect something like that?
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 1 week ago:
Probably because it’s too cheap and primitive? Why use something not specially used to spy on people when you already have significantly designed satellites with a bigger budget and better technology?

I believe most artists will do this for enough money, but I’ve heard from a friend who organizes very expensive weddings, that some of the very top performers will not do private shows even for exorbitant amounts of money.
- Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 2 weeks ago:
Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.
- Comment on What's your favorite sport to watch or play? 3 weeks ago:
I play and watch rock climbing. At the moment the competitions are mostly free on YouTube and happen weekly or so when the season starts up.
- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 4 weeks ago:
Seems like 60k miles for brake fluid replacement and 80k miles for low conductivity coolant replacement. Then also replace the normal coolant at 120k miles. This is for an Ioniq5.
I feel like most electric cars don’t need to use brakes going downhill. The regen is heavy enough to maintain a reasonable speed.

Hmm do brake calipers age? You’re not really using your brakes during normal driving.
Power steering and other hydraulics would need changing eventually.
- Comment on The Home Depot tax at work! 1 month ago:
Note that it will warp further when you get it home since Home Depot wood is unlikely to be fully dried and the environment in your home will be different as well.
You’ll need to wait a couple of weeks to see what shape the wood settles into. If you try to build something now it might end up warping after construction.
Even if you’re working with S4S lumber you still need to let it acclimate and then finish milling it if you really need very square pieces.

It’s just extra information. Not an attack or disagreement.

JPEG also reduces color depth as it’s first step but just in a smarter way. RGB is converted into YCbCr.

Room for parks!

- Comment on Aptera’s production-intent solar EV completed its first road trip traversing over 300 miles 2 months ago:
While that’s quite sad, in the case of their road trip, the comparison was made against the many splatters on the chase vehicles making the trip with them.
- Comment on Aptera’s production-intent solar EV completed its first road trip traversing over 300 miles 2 months ago:
One interesting tidbit not is that due to the aerodynamic design, bugs are swept over the windshield and don’t splatter. This effect was theorized in simulations but they were able to demonstrate it during the roadtrip.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 2 months ago:
The issue is the plastic internal mechanisms will wear out eventually. The Pentels have a metal core which has never worn out from my usage. I always end up losing the pencils before they break. The same can’t be said for the BICs.
- Comment on Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse 3 months ago:
Then you’d need some organization with resources to store this data? You’d still need to trust someone to do this correctly.
- Comment on US fab construction costs twice as much, takes twice as long as Taiwan 4 months ago:
But America has a higher suicide raterate?
- Comment on New thermoelectric generator converts vehicle exhaust heat into electricity, boosting fuel efficiency 4 months ago:
So in a solid, you can imagine each atom connected to each other by springs (bonds). They can vibrate on these springs. If they vibrate too much (by heating) then they can break the bonds and escape as a gas. Gasses basically have too much energy to bond again.
- Comment on New thermoelectric generator converts vehicle exhaust heat into electricity, boosting fuel efficiency 4 months ago:
Molecules interact with each other. Energy is transferred as they bump around. If you were to follow a single molecule it would move around randomly. What we can measure is usually the average of many molecules.
- Comment on A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. 4 months ago:
Only if there’s no collisions. With lots of collisions it’s far from constant.
- Comment on Solar should be packaged with consumer appliances 4 months ago:
A 3kWh battery is like >$1000? Wouldn’t this double the price of a fridge?
- Comment on Solar should be packaged with consumer appliances 4 months ago:
Except batteries are heavy and expensive? Which appliances can feasibly be battery powered for a practical amount of time?
- Comment on circuits 6 months ago:
Also the money. I’d love to do more hardware heavy stuff but the pay just isn’t there.

This game is the reason my eyes and vestibular systems are disconnected.
- Comment on The ability to be spontaneous in life is directly proportion to the size of your bank account 8 months ago:
Murder. It’s how many kids you’ve murdered. Therefore you will be in prison and have negative spontaneity.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 8 months ago:
JD should definitely be higher than Strange on the Y axis. He cares way more for his patients.
