  For some reason on my client, it can’t remove the spoiler (gives a network error). I’m assuming it says that since the ball has more mass, it has a higher attraction rate of its own gravity to Earth’s, so does fall faster in a vacuum but so miniscule it would be hard to measure?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you trust that doctor?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oz is a Doctor, and was a very good one who got corrupted in his aim for fame and fortune. Part of his tragedy is that if he’d shut up and just do his actual doctor work only he’d be a benefit to society, not the detriment he is now. It’s important to know that he’s worse because he had actual skill as a heart surgeon. Quoting wiki:

  In 1982, he received his undergraduate degree in biology magna cum laude[3] at Harvard University.[31] … In 1986, he obtained MD and MBA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine[30] and Penn’s Wharton School.[34][35]

  Pentaprisms from SLR cameras have a similar but slightly different function, so personally as an amateur photographer who doesn’t use a SLR but learned about em, I think it’s pretty easy for photographers who used such tech to relate.

  Ffxiv also, has both native and steam, which is useful for steamdeck even if you don’t have it for steam. FFXIVLauncher does the login then uses the fully functional steam demo to play.

  It’s so ingrained in our life processes. You know Calories? The capital C version(or Kcal in some countries) is 1000 calories. What do they measure? The potential heat whatever is being measured can generate. Our fuel intake is measured by how well it burns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religious people: The world is ending⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, JWs (I’m ex) believe climate change is foretold in Rev 11:18, which says (dunno which version, just googled, but not the JW version as it uses ruining the Earth);

  The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.

  Italics mine. JW version is bring >“to ruin those ruining the Earth.” Either way, they believe that means God will stop and destroy those bringing about climate change. Since it relies on God, it’s another one that really doesn’t help even if they believe in in, because they believe God will stop it before it’s too late.

  I don’t know the episode, but unless that’s some extremely official time piece controlled by the government or something, it could just be someone like me. I live in the US, and several of the temp gauges in the house are celcius, including the one I keep at my desk and my in room A/C (set at 25 atm).

  I also used to keep my car on km/h instead of mph just for fun and confusing anyone who rode with me why I was going 80 on local roads or 130 on the highway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chat is this real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a real Don Glover moment too where I had heard people replace the Chat with shit but didn’t realize telling the people hiring me they could just call me Shat would sound weird.

  Boss later told me how weird it was explaing to the team that Shat would be joining the team soon.

  “He goes by Shat?”

  “That’s what he told me.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chat is this real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My name starts with Chat (real name too, but pronounced with Sh instead of a ch) and Chat/Chati are my nicknames. I know how Karens feel when memes use their names…

  So Karens need to stop fucking whining, it ain’t that bad and some of us have been hearing people equate our name to shit since middle school and just chuckle.

  Sure, but it’s also harder to have that pay in areas that don’t charge that much. It’s like real estate keeps rising prices right until it uses up almost all your money…

  When we were kids, my mom bought it to help her poop, figuring we kids wouldn’t want a weird pooping drink. She realized her err as we drank it all, and complained kids aren’t supposed to like prune juice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infamous $30 Logitech F710 called out in $50M lawsuit over Titan sub implosion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having tried to use those, my main issue was the 710 is an unreliable 2.4ghz wireless, when bluetooth controllers all worked much better for me. I couldn’t get the 710 to have reliable button presses from more than like 4 feet from my pc, so I ended up just using the 310 wired. Maybe there isn’t enough interference on the sub for that to be an issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US claims TikTok collected user views on issues like abortion, gun control.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  … as opposed to American Spyware? I’m no fan of any governments, including both Chinese and American (not fully anti government, just think all need drastic improvments) but while I understand calling it Spyware, the focus on Chinese feels a bit sinophobic. Facebook does bad spying work too, plus has run experiments on users live. Cambridge Analytica stole info for political means as well. Google, ISPs, and many other info sites collect and sell info on you, and many of them will submit info to governments when requested. X/Twitter is run by an egotistical MAGA idiot who is blocking stuff he doesn’t like but allowing Nazis to be broadcast to everyone.

  They should all be considered similarly problematic.

  Evangelion is sorta important culturally and historically in anime, but honestly I wouldn’t call it good, even though it was one of the early ones I grew up on (along with Ranma 1/2 and Rurouni Kenshin).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield’s 20-Minute, $7 Bounty Hunter Quest: The Kotaku Review⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. DLC is downloadable content, usually named that way to denote it didn’t come with the base game. Usually it means released by the original vendor, so anything they released counts as DLC, but in practice people generally split it into paid and free dlc.

  Paid DLC are often judged as to whether its worth it, and people do get mad if something should be base game and is only available via pay, even if that’s something simple like fast travel or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Galaxy S10 til the wheels come off⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. I’ve switched from wired to wireless because of the number of headphones I’ve destroyed getting the cable stuck so bad it yanks my body. My ears never hurt from it; just slightly disoriented and audio only working for one bud/side now. Eventually it was too annoying and I switched to full bluetooth wireless. I won’t argue against cables being better for audio, but for me they arent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea Time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same applies to green tea. Shouldn’t go over 175F, or it’ll be overly bitter as it extracts more caffeine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea Time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Boiling green tea is also considered burnt, as green teas recommended steeping temp is 170-175, unless I misunderstood what you mean there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tacos.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a coworker catholic who both said that statement, and also argued animals had no souls, so no one should ever get in trouble for animal abuse. Along with his ridiculously heated response to any government involvement in Healthcare, and the way he got close to yelling when discussing these topics while also claiming he was just being logical, not emotional. Why yes he did call women emotional, how did you know?

  People like him scare me, because it sounds like if he could use some religious context to say I didn’t have a soul, he’d probably come to the same conclusion he did about dogs.

  A lot of choices are made for us. People who think it’s down to only choices probably ignore all the luck and privileges they experienced. I could have been born in much worse circumstances than I was, and that would not have been due to any choice I made. Children dying in war zones made no choices to get there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropology⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. I think part of the day of reality TV is seeing people who are a bigger mess than we are (personally I don’t watch it, but the theme is consistent in comedy and sitcoms, Futurama, Family Guy, Simpsons all have kinda stupid protags to make it easier to relate/laugh at because they aren’t better than the general viewer). I could see an alien species laughing about how dumb humans are.
