- Comment on Microsoft fires two more employees for participating in Palestine protests on campus 1 minute ago:
There's zero reason to give a shit about rules and norms that are being used as cover for aiding genocide.
- Comment on 2hot2handle 14 hours ago:
I mean, you choose not to interpret it beyond that because to you it's something other people are talking about. To someone who experiences this regularly it can apparently get really annoying, hence the negative reactions.
- Comment on 2hot2handle 18 hours ago:
A lot of them probably haven't taken a thermodynamics lesson.
Sure, but in that case the replier could've phrased their response as such. As it stands they're addressing the poster, not other people seeing the exchange.

Can any Germans confirm?
- Comment on 2hot2handle 1 day ago:
The mansplaining thing in this context is more about an unfounded assumption of ignorance in the other party. Usually one would assume an astronaut to know basic thermodynamics, but the tweet's phrasing implies the other other person doesn't. It's less "you're wrong" and more "why do you think she doesn't know that."
- Comment on 2hot2handle 1 day ago:
I'd still say it's spontaneous because when you reduce pressure you're removing a factor rather than adding one. It's like saying "when you compress a spring and then remove the compression force, it will spontaneously return to its previous length." Water vapor can be seen as water's "natural" state when thero no pressure forcing it to be a liquid. Also saying "simple thermo" to an astronaut is definitely mansplaining, because it implies the other person doesn't know that simple thermo.
- Comment on How Mexico lifted 13.4 million out of poverty in six years 1 day ago:
Imperial media shitting on policies that help the poor, why am I not surprised?

Surprising no one.

Posterior too.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 days ago:
Okay this is apparently one of those things where you'll get different answers depending on who you ask (even different Wikipedia articles give different answers), but this is a matter of semantics. No matter what you call it, mixing on a molecular level will result in the release or absorption of (in the case of gases a very small amount of) heat.

Wait holy shit you're right.
- Comment on la cars 2 no es canom. 2 days ago:
Shitposts in languages other than English aren't against the rules, and shouldn't be, but can we get a translation? Because most of us got no habla for dat Espaniol.
- Comment on two sides 2 days ago:
Their eyebrows also close diagonally, which is obviously evil.
- Comment on Norway wealth fund divests from Caterpillar over Gaza 'rights violations' 2 days ago:
They can't claim innocence just because they're not committing the war crimes themselves; they sell these bulldozers knowing there's only one thing the IDF is going to use a bulldozer for.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 3 days ago:
Yeah solutions can have any phase of solute and any phase of solvent. The most common example of a solution of gases is the air, so yeah.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 3 days ago:
No no, dissolution does generate heat. It's called heat of solvation.
- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 5 days ago:
This estimate is also an overestimate according to the paper.
First, much creative endeavour builds upon the past and an extension of term may make it more difficult or costly do so. Were Shakespeare’s work still in copyright today it is likely that this would substantially restrict the widespread and beneficial adaptation and reuse that currently occurs. However we make no effort to incorporate this into our analysis despite its undoubted importance (it is simply too intractable from a theoretical and empirical perspective to be usefully addressed at present).
This means that the real number is significantly less than 15, maybe more like 12.

I mean, there isn't even a debate.
Just like anything else an argument could be made for rehabilitation, but yeah banning for this is insane.

- Comment on Saudi Arabia condemns Israel's genocidal 'crimes,' expresses alarm over famine 5 days ago:
This is absolutely not due to the goodness of their hearts, but what's so suspicious about the timing?
- Comment on Laura Loomer wants ICE to livestream arrests for entertainment: "Make it exciting an show ICE agents tackling Juan and Jesus" 6 days ago:
Weren't the first few people they kidnapped (e.g. Mahmoud Khalil) all legal immigrants who were explicitly targeted for political reasons? What does she think about that?
- Comment on number box o number box 1 week ago:
You just used "tensor" to define "tensor," but also any list of number formulated as an n-dimensional matrix will satisfy this criterion. A tensor is both a linear transformation and an n-dimensional box-shaped list of numbers, but there's nothing such as a linear list of numbers.
- Comment on number box o number box 1 week ago:
"Linear" describes transformations, not numbers.
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 1 week ago:
I mean relativity is elegant enough in its own right; it's just Newton's laws plus the constancy of the speed of light and the equivalence principle. These two additions are enough to make everything an order of magnitude more fucked up, but that's math's fault, not relativity.
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 1 week ago:
Nah, sqrt(x) is the principal branch (the one with a positive real part) of x^½, and you can do (-1)^½ because it's just exponentiation.
