- Comment on Scientists discover potentially habitable planet roughly 146 light-years from Earth, 4 times closer than the next best planet in a habitable zone; surface temperature may be below -94 degrees 1 week ago:
Habitability in this usage means "a place where humans can live, either with or without technological assistance". In terms of temperature, this means the range of temperatures where machinery can reliably function. Of the temperatures found in the universe, this machinery-functionable range is actually extremely narrow
- Comment on 99% of the time when I get exposed to content that sucks, it's because of other people creating content about the content they also think sucks. 1 week ago:
Seriously, i never click on a vid thumbnail if it has some random person's dumb head overlaying it. And i immediately close a video app/webpage if I'm watching something and a reaction person randomly pops up
- Comment on Do people eat this? 1 week ago:
You're half right. Wiki says it's been around since at least Victorian times, but the modern version revival happened as you say .
- Comment on It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00 1 week ago:
Yeah midnight 00:00:00 represents that doomsday has happened. Even if 100,000 nuclear missiles were already in the air hurtling to their targets, that still technically wouldn't be 00:00:00

- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 2 weeks ago:
He must be fucking with you if he says the sun got replaced by an LED. Forget about the color stuff, ask him how the sun got replaced.

- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI 2 weeks ago:
Yup, everyone (including me) strongly wants to deny the usefulness of ai, but the fact is that ai is already quite useful, and is only becoming more useful over time. There are a zillion moral problems with ai, but the usefulness of its output is obvious.
E.g. For years I've been considering paying someone to make a small app for me that does one specific thing, but recently i asked ai to do it and boom - it created an app that did exactly what i wanted. It even suggested some good features which i then said yes to and it made the app even better. And when i think of a new feature i just say "add this new feature", and it does. Occasionally the outputted app doesn't work, and i just say "now the audio doesn't work, fix it" and it does. So far there was only one one feature i asked it to do that it failed at.

- Comment on First-In-Human Trial Of CRISPR Gene-Editing Therapy Safely Lowered Cholesterol, Triglycerides 3 weeks ago:
Your body makes it's own cholesterol, and so the main driver of your cholesterol level is genetics. Quote from the AMA:
"Primarily, your cholesterol profile is genetic."

I'm ok with there being some amount of wealth disparity, but nothing even close to like homeless vs. owns a yacht with a helipad. But before it's ok to have moderate wealth disparity we have to first meet the basic needs of all people including healthy and comfortable food, water, sanitation, housing, and healthcare.
- Comment on The longest finger is typically in the middle of the hand but the longest toe is typically at the end of a foot 3 weeks ago:
I mean true, but i don't see anything noteworthy about that. They're different appendages, so naturally they're different. It's like saying "Your elbow can only move in one direction, but your shoulder can move in several directions."

Anywhere that has an actual supply chain instead of website that's just a front for individual resellers. Places like best buy, or if you could get shipped from microcenter.
