From explain xkcd:
Polyethylvinylesteracetate
This appears to be a reference to Poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate), some formulations of which can be used as the adhesive in hot-glue guns. Vinyl acetate is an ester, so the inclusion of that term is redundant. The cadence of the constructed word may also be a reference to the television episode Lucy Does a TV Commercial and its memorable product “Vitameatavegamin”. It also resembles the kind of thing often seen in ingredients lists for common household products such as soaps and cleaners, which are fairly meaningless to the average person buying them.
2-Polyethylvinylesteracetate
This sounds almost exactly the same as the above item, but a name with a “2-” prefix generally indicates that the initial bit of the name is a functional group attached to the second position along a chemical chain (often being the carbon-carbon ‘spine’ of a molecule, in large-molecule organic chemistry), rather than attached to its end. Because the molecule name is (possibly deliberately) malformed, it’s hard to tell what is supposed to be attached to the second carbon of what subunit.

I can mostly get it. I would probably have to see examples in practice to fully grasp it.

For someone who sucks at math, would you be able to give a TL;DR on what a geometric sequence is?

Biggest and probably current constraint is the time it takes to create new manufacturing facilities. With how bad things are, I would imagine they have already maxed the output of the available production lines.
From what I’ve seen working in manufacturing and production facilities, it takes a handful of years to set up new production lines and many more to set up while new production facilities.

Short answer is that they are working on an in depth environment/physical properties simulation system (confirmed by data leaks). Things like temperatures, flash points, coating in liquids, friction, etc.
It’s hard to know exactly how they will all be used, but one can imagine all the interactions between ice, fire, oil, gasoline, wind, and whatever objects you find in the world.

Any chance you can get a picture of it next to an original SP for size comparison?

I can do both of those with Lemmy. Maybe it’s per app? Summit on Android allows both instance blocking and feeds.

So they’re saying that chat bots are really just glorified search auto-complete and don’t actually have any ability to think or calculate?..
I’m shocked!

Fun little science fact: Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of. It’s called Black Body Radiation. The color chart shows what temperatures correspond with various “colors” of glow.
- Comment on Engineers Discovered the Spectacular Secret to Making 17x Stronger Cement 2 months ago:
In a new study from Princeton University, scientists turned toward the humble oyster and its iridescent composite material nacre for design inspiration.
Matching the characteristics of nacre at the microscopic level, the researchers were able to increase the toughness of cement some 17 times, as compared to a cement block on its own.

It’s called micro b superspeed. It’s basically micro-b with an optional extra connector to reach USB 3.0 speeds. Unless the device needs the extra power rail (like a 2.5" HDD), then you can still use a regular micro b cable to get USB 2.0 speeds.

So what is your community? What is its purpose? If you’re gonna post here, I highly recommend looking at the community rules and adding all the proper info.
I love seeing people make new Lemmy communities. It’s even better when people spread the word in places like NewCommunities, but it doesn’t help you much if you’re missing all the info (and the proper link).

Also, it turns out Coatimundi are a type of mammal most common to North and South America. They are related to raccoons:

I’m guessing that’s a pop-up version? Like a good truck but longer term. Maybe they are there for a large term event or business. My brain’s thinking of stuff like the pop-up towns that appear near mines or big businesses that have thousands of employees.
Granted, it could just be a hella jank McDonald’s lol.
