Many never find out. And not alwaya because they’re actually the normal ones.

The result entirely depends on who’s reliving that day until they have its best possible outcome. Watch Edge of Tomorrow for a documentary of how that happens.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 4 days ago:
Human rights organizations and many high-profile news outlets have reported on this. See citations in the relevant Wikipedia article section. Reuters even has an article with video evidence.
That said, Hamas does this too and their surrender is probably the best we could hope for to further peace talks.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 4 days ago:
Yeah but Israel is also known to use Palestinian civilians as human shields, such as when crossing a suspected minefield.

If human food is comparable, a healthy diet would probably be more expensive
- Comment on Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping! 6 days ago:
Renumbering characters during font minimization? I haven’t encountered that, it would break searching and copying.
Anyway, PDFs for example don’t even say whether a line of text is left, center or justified – they usually store the coordinates of the first character and then spacing to each subsequent one unless defined by the font.
And what if the document contains text boxes, or other Word objects? Well, the text is separate from the underlying rectangle (if there is one) and it’s up to the conversion tool to guess if it’s part of the main text layer.
Sorry, it’s really hard to edit PDFs. You might want to use Inkscape for editing the graphical parts. If you also need to edit paragraphs, I suggest recreating the document by pasting them into Word/LibreOffice, and importing any graphical shapes as SVGs (use Inkscape for the conversion, then you can try Word’s “Graphic > Convert to Shapes” feature).
Really, every software that uses PDF should treat it as an export format, hopefully making it clearer that “saving as PDF” is a visually lossless but structurally lossy and messy process.

At least physics will never get patched. The spark device with zinc spheres will always do that thing.

At least they have the rule of tagging such posts.
- Comment on Due to American politics I'm afraid of using high speed rail in Germany 2 weeks ago:
I travelled with DB to enjoy the 2022 9-€ Ticket. The cross-border train ČD drove into Germany got stopped in the first city and got cancelled because it “didn’t meet standards”. I mean, it was missing a car, there was no AC, it was super loud and crowded, but it was a train and went on time. DB’s replacement was literally nothing so I was stuck waiting in Schwandorf for an hour. This happens dozens of times every year.
Meanwhile, my trip last year was an orderly experience, probably because I went through former East Germany via Dresden instead. Communists did a lot of bad shit but they understood the power of trains (and streetcars).
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 2 weeks ago:
My grandma was a disabled stay-at-home mom with a hyperactive daughter who tended to run away and wreak havoc, and all the police would soon know who to return her to. Grandma was scolded by neighbors for using a leash but able to explain herself. This was in 1970s Czechoslovakia.
- Comment on Frigging peas 🫛 2 weeks ago:
It’s now believed that he altered the data, since they fit the 1:3 ratios way too well for populations where each has a ¼ probability. Still, very good work considering he might not have heard of the scientific method.
- Comment on Frigging peas 🫛 2 weeks ago:
Also, they were considered “lewd”. And now we know that the genetics of rats is way too complex for him to spot any patterns.
He also attempted to study bees but they were nasty, and he didn’t know that they mate while flying, rendering his breeding attempts fruitless.
- Comment on max upload size? 2 weeks ago:
Uploading video to Lemmy is hard. Size limit aside, unless it’s very short, you need it to be VP9 in WebM or ffmpeg times out. The default max frame count is just 900, too.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 2 weeks ago:
Never lived up to the hype. Take almost as much effort to get ready for another flight as building another one.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 2 weeks ago:
all taxpayer money anyway
Yes but with very little to show for it. If the government just treated all undelivered orders as debt, it would end up deep in the red.

- Comment on agi graph slop, wtf does goverment collapse have to do with ai? 3 weeks ago:
Lots of science fiction does. I read Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect (full text legally available online) and collapse of governments was a natural consequence of an all-powerful AI… although that was only possible because of fictional physics, giving you a much-needed reality check.

Oh, they do. It’s just that they skip every paragraph explaining the Dirichlet principle because it’s such a cliché.

Anyone can think of other examples? Note that we’re not looking for simple misnomers like pencil lead, the things must have been made of the stuff they’re named after at some point!

- compressed air (no doubt somebody has used compressed air for what can dusters are used for nowadays, but selling it in cans has probably never been economically viable)

The other comments are correct. Also, a solenoid that switches another set of contacts is called a relay, or contactor.
