There was a theoretical one I saw ages ago that was a giant cylinder rotating in space at close to the speed of light that had this limitation. I remember exactly zero details beyond physically what it was in the phrase “time cone”.
Seems like it’s probably the Tipler Cylinder

2112 does go fucking hard, Temples of Syrinx was one of my all-time favourite songs, and I listened to it for years on a bad audio system without being able to understand the lyrics properly. Once I started hearing them properly, though, it started feeling a bit sus (I’m a big lyrics person) which lead me to find the interview above. I’m glad to hear they’ve changed since then, though.
- Comment on Rush 1 week ago:
Wrote several books about how the rich are rich because they make society gooder and invent all the things, and the poor workers would be lost without them (therefore libertarian capitalism is the best system). Among other proto-fascist ideologies. If you want a longer form, Angela Collier has a really good video that goes in-depth a bit more, “Billionaires want you to know they could have done Physics” on YouTube or Nebula (Ayn Rand portion starts at around 26:00, but the whole video is pretty good)

Slander, Weird Al would never follow the teachings of Ayn Rand (sorry to anyone that this may have killed the band for, it certainly killed them for me).

- Comment on Could I just create my own drive format? 3 months ago:
Yes, but it would probably be a multi-decade, career-defining project if you want it to be any good. It would likely work with all files since it’s all just data once you get to the FS level anyway, but other devices would need an appropriate driver (that you would also need to write) in order to use it.
Note that I’m not an expert in this field, so others should correct me if I’ve got something wrong here.

Pretty sure I’ve commented this on Lemmy before, but I’m gonna drop a link to this Struthless video again because I think it’s pretty good at getting the point and really reflected my experience as someone who was once a “young man on the internet”, too.
- Comment on Tis the time 5 months ago:
TØP is probably the band Twenty One Pilots (stylised as Twenty Øne Pilots), and from Google they have an album called Trench, in the music videos of which people hold flaming torches (haven’t watched the videos, so I don’t know why).

- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 7 months 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.

- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas kills one 10 months ago:
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 10 months ago:
The video is posted 6 years ago, so he wasn’t a former president yet
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas kills one 10 months ago:
Unfortunately he might (I make no claims as to the legitimacy of this video)
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 11 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 11 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 [deleted] 1 year 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.
