- Comment on ISPs created so many fees that FCC will kill requirement to list them all 2 days ago:
Let’s be real here. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated” to list the fees. What’s complicated about listing a few numbers? The problem is that they don’t want to list a myriad of fees.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 2 days ago:
Even if two species existed that had similar soil, water and sun requirements, had similar properties regarding taste, processability, etc., it would still be easier to farm just one instead of breeding both for milennia and splitting the means of production.

In Germany frost is combated by spraying vines with mist. Freezing water releases heat, which raises the temperature by a few degrees.

That ‘86 pages’ factoid is misleading. They weren’t trying to prove that 1+1=2. They were trying to build a foundation for mathematics, and at some point along the way that prove fell out of the equations.

I find this axiomatization of the naturals quite neat:
- Zero is a natural number. 0∈ℕ
- For every natural number there exists a succeeding natural number. ∀_n_∈ℕ: s(n)∈ℕ (s denotes the successor function)
Now the neat part: If 0 is a constant, then s(0) is also a constant. So we can invent a name for that constant and call it “1.” Now s(s(0)) is a constant, too. Call it “2” and proceed to invent the natural numbers.

Thanks for not requiring a NASA computer to run this game.

I think there’s a difference between making a claim (then I’m with you – provide a source, goddamnit) and getting asked a question where it’s obvious the asker hasn’t even tried finding out shit on their own. In the latter I think the card is right. I’m not your proxy for google.

Whoopsie. I used to assume neutron stars are made of neutrons. It turns out Big Astronomy lied to me.

I see 6 labels. I guess that means 2 surveys per year. But I’m just guessing.
- Comment on Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway 2 weeks ago:
2012 appears once as a birth year and once as a surveillance year. The graph says that they only ever surveyed 8-year-olds, since the birth year is always 8 less than the surveillance year.

The link in your post links to a different image. Was that on purpose?
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 5 weeks ago:
I guess your conclusion is right. In situations where the barycenter of two (or more) objects is not sufficiently different from the center of mass of the heaviest object, we simplify the description by assuming that the barycenter and the center of mass of the heavier object are equal.
Just because I’ve already edited it, here’s an animation of Earth orbiting the Earth–Moon barycenter:
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 5 weeks ago:
no material object orbits another material object and they instead orbit their collective center of mass somewhere in space.
That’s exactly what happens. Why do you think this is incorrect?

Some jurisdictions demand that the officer tells you the supposed infraction rather than playing the old game of “Do you know why I stopped you?”
