- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 4 weeks ago:
Senn-torr
The “taur” is probably the same root as in “Taurus” and "el Toro"¹, which I’ve only ever heard said like torr, so I say it the same. The first part I don’t think is ever said anything other than “senn” right?
¹I can’t back that up, since they mean bull not horse and I have no sources. We do see the same root pop up in “Minotaur” from the same language though, and that is a part bull part man.

Yeah I mean he’d only been president for like 2 years at that point, so it’s possible. Also possible it’s just fake, tho.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas kills one 3 months ago:
The video is posted 6 years ago, so he wasn’t a former president yet

Unfortunately he might (I make no claims as to the legitimacy of this video)
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 4 months ago:
we do pay a Medicare levy in our taxes but it’s nothing like USA costs
I was thinking about this too - the American monthly health insurance cost is significantly more than my entire monthly tax contribution, including the public healthcare contributions - and I’m not even “low income” by any definition.
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 4 months ago:
Wait American health insurance costs THAT MUCH? And then you have to pay MORE to use it? I’d been imagining a few hundred dollars p.m. and still thinking “that’s too much”. How is there anyone in your country who believes that public health could cost more than that?
You guys need serious help, I’m so sorry.
I have a medical treatment coming up that I’d thought was rather expensive, but after learning that it costs the same as 2 months of terrible medical cover in the USA I feel a bit better about it…

- Comment on I'm a reasonably well educated human living on Earth. What's to stop me from replicating starship parts until I can make my own Starfleet? 6 months ago:
The Laws of Thermodynamics say you will always lose some energy to heat when energy is used to affect a change. I have to imagine this would be particularly so when energy is converted to matter since that’s very involved, but I’m not a physicist so I can’t confirm that.
Come to think of it, this means that industrial replication plants and shipyards would likely be incredibly hot places, due to the inevitable loss to heat in replicating massive components.
