- Comment on In order for superman to keep his cover as Clark Kent countless innocents he had the power to save have to die every day. 12 hours ago:
He’s a field reporter. He goes out into the world to write about stuff. If he’s gone for three weeks working on a story, that’s what it takes.
He’s also super smart and super fast, so he can write the story in a small fraction of the time as most reporters.So, as Superman, he flies to where the problem is, solves it, then writes about it as Clark Kent.
Same thing Spider-Man does, except a big part of it is also getting pictures of himself as Spider-Man doing the problem solving.

They also don’t have that data. Who you talk to and when it also concealed from them.
Check out their blog article about “Sealed Sender” from back in 2018.

I’d find it hard to believe anything could happen that would cause the moon to be thrown out of it’s orbit enough to end up on the far side of the sun, but leave earth unaffected.

The universe is flat.
Most galaxies are semi-flat rotating discs of stars.
Only solid-ish objects like planets, stars, moons, and black holes are spheres.

Ok. The answer is yes.
But the context is what makes it interesting.
- Comment on [Any Austin] Do Red Dead Redemption 2's Power Lines Connect to Anything? 1 week ago:
With the AnyAustin videos, it’s the journey, not the answer.
If you just want a yes/no, this isn’t the video for you.

Anglerfish lengths can vary from 2–18 cm (1–7 in), with a few species larger than 100 cm (39 in).[36] The largest members are the European monkfish Lophius piscatorius (200 cm (6.6 ft) SL, 57.7 kilograms (127 lb)), the deep-sea warty anglerfish Ceratias holboelli (120 cm (3.9 ft) TL), the giant frogfish Antennarius commerson (45 cm (1.48 ft) TL), and the giant triangular batfish Malthopsis gigas (13.6 cm (0.45 ft)).[37][38][39][40]

Since the speed something is moving away is dependent on the distance, something billions of light years away is absolutely not going to be moving towards us, regardless of its local orbits.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 2 weeks ago:
If it’s blue shifting from that distance, then it’s likely some advanced technology is moving it in our direction.
There’s not many other explanations for that.

- Comment on designing the strongest 3d printed hook competition - Tom Stanton 2nd channel 3 weeks ago:
If there are bending forces on the object, the middle of the structure basically doesn’t add any strength. If it’s in tension or compression, it does.
For this challenge, with the 50g weight limit that has bending forces, a hollow object is always stronger. If he filled in the middle, it would add more weight for very little additional strength.

This is the technology community. If you’re not interested in reading about new and groundbreaking tech, maybe you should block this one, start a consumerism community, all about stuff you can buy.
The rest of us are quite happy reading about potential ideas and research that may or may not become something profitable.
- Comment on 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed 1 month ago:
There’s a lot to be said for the late 90’s. Post Cold War, but pre 9/11.
It’s not perfect for everyone, especially if you’re LGBT+, but it’s got a lot going for it.

I had one with solar and one without, I think the solar is mostly useless.
It only takes a short time to charge it up with the USB charger (proprietary charger, FYI) so I don’t think it really matters.

I have a Garmin watch. Lasts 2+ weeks on a charge depending on how I use it.
- Comment on I suspect you can understand everything about a person simply by watching how they play Duck Hunt on the NES. 2 months ago:
That was a little simplified, but mostly correct.
The pointing at a light source doesn’t work in every situation, and a lot of games had multiple targets.
You can see how it works in this 6 minute SlowMoGuys video.
- Comment on What are your go-to sites to find free 3D files to print? 2 months ago:
Feels like most high quality results are on printables these days. Thingiverse used to be the go-to so they’ve got a lot of models from the early days, so it’s worth checking.
Makerworld seems to be drawing a lot of the newer crowd due to their huge sponsorship push on influencers, so they have a growing audience as well.
If you’re looking for a functional part (not strictly art or models) it’s probably on one of those three.
- Comment on What are your go-to sites to find free 3D files to print? 2 months ago:
They originally showed items hosted anywhere and free first, but once people got used to it they changed all the defaults. If you go there now and search, you have to manually set the source or it only shows you results from thangs itself, and pushes paid models and memberships to the top.
I only use it as a last resort now, and it’s typically pretty bad.
- Comment on What are your go-to sites to find free 3D files to print? 2 months ago:
Nah, I briefly thought so, but their search shenanigans are trying to push people to only use their site.
They push paid designs and memberships hosted on thangs to the top, and default search to Thangs only.
They originally showed items hosted anywhere and free first, but once people got used to it they changed all the defaults. It’s a big bait and switch.
- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 2 months ago:
No mention of lactose.
Plant based, lactose free milk and cheese would be amazing.
No idea why they’d intentionally add lactose, so I assume it would just be naturally lactose free.
- Comment on Like clockwork, Peacock is raising subscription prices again 2 months ago:
I recently subscribed. It’s only $3/mo so it’s really inexpensive, but also it feels like it’s just a heavily curated YouTube.
There’s nothing I’ve found on nebula that’s not also on YouTube. The only real benefit (to me, not the creators) is that there’s no sponsorship in the video.
That being said, the app isn’t as polished and I feel like I’m just remembering which creators I follow on both and when I see a new video from one of them in YouTube, I flip to nebula to watch it, then go back to YouTube for my other subscriptions.
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 2 months ago:
Cause things get named CENTURIES before we understand them, and as we learn more, sometimes it makes sense to rename them, sometimes it is so engrained in daily life nobody would use the new names.

Cause using superman for his actual ideal use would be pretty boring for a comic book.
- Comment on The Lord of the Ringsy-Wingsy 2 months ago:
No, the Teletubbies are the Eloi from The Time Machine. They are simple creatures that can’t possibly understand the technology they use, so they don’t make it or maintain it.
They freak out and go to bed when the sun goes down. Probably because the Morlocks are coming.
The world is far too technologically advanced for it to be Hobbits. The Hobbits are specially written to be essentially self sufficient and don’t desire anything more advanced than beer (and magic fireworks.)
