  We’re all NCD on this fine day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Virgin Physicists⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  π = 1
  3! = 10

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7th-inning stretch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds WAY too dangerous. Better just tape a sign to your gun, the American Way!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to explain some of my in-group chats, it would be complicated and awkward, but not life-destroying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in CA for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. The woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor with 16,000 citations.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  16 THOUSAND citations.

  She’s approximately 260 times more successful than me, AND kicked this guy’s ass. Fucking hell, I’m so envious right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Struggling⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be amazed if 10% of reddit mods were women, honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're*⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woah woah fucking woah, that is TOO far. A Welshman? Fuck you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In 2025 they just mean “if either of your parents was a citizen when you were born, you can be too”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s how it works for most countries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents of different nationalities had me in a third country. It would be really really shit for them (and me) if I didn’t share their nationality. They would have had a foreign child, who would almost always go for a citizenship as soon as possible anyway.

  Much easier to just give the kid a passport if their parents have one.

  And since I was born in a country that DOES have birthplace citizenship, I technically have three nationalities (only two passports though, way too much work to get the third one)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bat is the way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of superpower-through-techology heroes in DC, so a solid public education would probably do it.

  If you’re working on a “Batman can stop Darkseid alone” theory, then it logically follows that any well-trained and equipped group could also stop Darkseid, probably better than Batman can. So the priority should be that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The leading AI models are now good historians⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Granted, Monte had unusually legible handwriting, but even “easy” early modern paleography like this is still the sort of thing that requires days or weeks of training to get the hang of.

  Well, I should head into history then, because I’ve never trained for this, and can read the example with zero effort or experience. Now, either I’m amazing, or the author is pretty terrible at this.

  I’m not at all surprised generative models can do this, because they are for the most part, heaping mediocrity on a pile of mediocrity.

  I would also love to see the prompts and the other example that didn’t make the post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says Mexico, Canada tariffs will start March 4, plus additional 10% on China⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I read that in Picard’s voice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smoking, and to a lesser extent non-combustible nicotine use, is associated with higher levels of alcohol consumption and risky drinking.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “do people with substance addictions also have other substances addictions” seems like a REALLY hard thing to control for too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump refuses to label Putin a dictator⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, obviously he doesn’t want to tell on himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope Francis now in a critical condition after respiratory crisis, Vatican says⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should just pray harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Observer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes me pretty annoyed, mostly because I get flashbacks to assholes pushing The Secret

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuked from orbit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xenon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  At the worst, you can use it like people use nitrogen. To get a very brief high from lack of oxygen (and then possibly die)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Started Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 Today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I picked it up last month, I’m finally getting the hang of combat, or Henry is getting better at it.

  It’s both. They actually made a pretty neat system, where you get warnings to attack/block earlier at higher levels. So as your real-life skill improves, the games also makes it easier for you, meaning you get a double whammy of improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are converters from pulse to tone! They cost something like 40 bucks though, or you can build your own for like 4.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine came free with fiber, but I don’t have a device to plug in. Nor do I have a cable running from my entry-point to anywhere in the house, so I’d have to buy a wireless set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just realized I haven’t seen a payphone in… multiple years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wheres Waldo, for the educated⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had missing children reports at large fantasy events and they would be 40% “Bobby is wearing a black shirt with a knight costume and plastic sword”, 40% Anna is wearing a pink dress and scarf, with a magic wand". And 20% “Joey is dressed like Flognip the Enmagicer from Flognip visits the Elves”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The eye-popping amount of money Elon Musk has already slashed from the Education Department as staff melt down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Don’t expect me to change my mind”

  Surely the hallmark of someone with a healthy view on reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of writers seem to have forgotten that scifi uses aliens and new worlds to talk about humans. They just think that scifi uses aliens and new worlds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My kids bored out of their minds with a house full of toys, don't know how good they got it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or they had little clay horses as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI starts to help India's struggling farms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  New AI:

  IF $soil_moisture < $Dry AND $Temperature > $Warm THEN Print “Water your plants today”

  Most babies eventually turn into productive people though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3047: Rotary Tool⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The scariest lab centrifuge i’ve personally seen went to something like 100k rpm, and 800,000 g. It’s basically a cartoon safe with a piece of lab equipment inside, because when something fails at 800,000 times the force of gravity, it’s going to end up outside the city borders, or inside the next building over.
