Thanks for the good thoughts, at the very least you put a smile on my face

Sigh, at least I'm not alone in my obliviousness. Can i stop beating myself up about it now? How about all those other unrelated past mistakes i made, can i stop beating myself up about those too? Sigh.

From what i find on a quick websearch, it seems that neutron stars aren't stars. I don't really know anything about that topic

Again, you're not wrong, but that's not the topic of the thread you're replying on
- Comment on Helpful guide 4 days ago:
The comment thread you're replying to is talking about the actual size of the celestial bodies

Incorrect. The smallest known star is 7 times larger than earth

All stars are significantly bigger than earth

- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 5 days ago:
Yes, the end result of unregulated capitalism is always power getting concentrated into a handful of individuals while the rest of the planet's billions of people are effectively in poverty and powerless

Huh? It's not "close enough", it's exactly accurate. 4% of 75 is 3 exactly. I don't know where the rest of what you wrote comes from. This post is about pure arithmetic
- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 5 days ago:
true capitalism results in economic singularities and infinite wealth for everyone.
No it doesn't. I have no idea where you came up with that thought, but it's totally incorrect. And that's the entire fundamental basis of your concept, so everything else is incorrect too
So your opinion is even wrong, because it's an opinion about a false concept

At a bare minimum it has to be related to a tool or functionality of a tool. So you could stretch the definition to things on a stream, but not to a convention of celebrities
- Comment on Dead Cells 2 doesn't exist because its devs would rather make what they want than listen to external pressures 1 week ago:
I don't see how this is clickbait, the title doesn't have a missing noun or say anything inflammatory

As a mod you're the one that gets to decide for this community. This is obviously not technology, but whatever, you get to do what you want here

That may be what it says in the sidebar, but this is objectively not technology

Not technology
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 1 week ago:
When people say that they are wrong. There are two different definitions for the word "fruit". They're homonyms for completely different words. It's like if i ask you: Which is lighter, a black Mini Cooper, or a white Hummer? Depends on which definition of "lighter" you're asking about
- Comment on Buying a best-of-album is like giving the artist/label money for a playlist of their songs they created 1 week ago:
No they're not, or at least not any more than any other album. If you buy an album, you're buying the music on that album

Oh yeah fluorescent tubes are a awful. They're not white, they're sequentially yellow blue yellow blue yellow blue
- Comment on [Technology Connections] Video projectors used to be ridiculously cool [34:39] 2 weeks ago:
Interestingly enough crts didn't seem to cause a problem, my guess is because the pixel phosphors don't actually flash off, they fade out. But that's just a guess
- Comment on [Technology Connections] Video projectors used to be ridiculously cool [34:39] 2 weeks ago:
I still see it in even the most modern projectors, but I'm also able to see the flicker in phones that use pwm dimming which only a very small percent of people can see, so sucks to be me. My eyes seem to work at a much higher image capture rate than most people, which has no apparent benefits, only problems
- Comment on [Technology Connections] Video projectors used to be ridiculously cool [34:39] 2 weeks ago:
I was referring to the spinning color wheel that op was taking about, but yeah the simultaneous three color projector likely doesn't have that problem
- Comment on [Technology Connections] Video projectors used to be ridiculously cool [34:39] 2 weeks ago:
RGB flashing sequentially is the wooooooorst. Most people can't see it but holy shit i can and it's like random colored strobes flashing everywhere. Bleh

K, and what's your point? You apparently haven't read the other comments on this page

What "comm" are you referring to?

Anything presented as a factual claim needs true. OP didn't pose it as a shower thought, they presented it as if it was a fact. A shower thought would be "I think there might be..."
