My partner loves YouTube shorts. Neither of us have ever used mini games.
- Comment on Supreme Court Won’t Help Big Telecom Kill NY Law Requiring Affordable Broadband For Poor People 5 weeks ago:
This seems like a good thing. Let the red states wallow in their open market free of regulations, while the corpos struggle to meet various regulations at the state level.

- Comment on Turning automotive engines into modular chemical plants to make green fuels (discussion: is this a useful tech?) 2 months ago:
My background is chemical engineering. From this brief article, it sounds like a decent proposition. Basically taking a diesel engine and powering it with methane, but feeding it excess methane. Enough methane combusts to power the engine, which also powers the downstream processes. The excess methane is reformed to hydrogen without being fully oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. The nascent hydrogen is fed to some downstream process to create methanol.
This seems like a good way to produce a needed fuel / feedstock without additional energy inputs. I would be interested in seeing a full life cycle analysis of the system.

It might be fun to see a good KSP 2. I never got the official KSP 2 because of the reviews, but KSP original is still awesome.

It’s not wrong, just drawn on the imaginary plane

Amazon has incredibly high turnover. They’re starting to worry that they’re burning through everyone who is willing to work for them.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 3 months ago:
Dang it, you’re technically correct. The best kind of correct.
I just looked it up on Fandom and they concur, although he possibly has a doctorate in art history.
- Comment on Lignin molecular property discovery could help turn trees into affordable, greener industrial chemicals 3 months ago:
That’s really cool. Making the wood soft enough (low lignin) for microbes to readily digest it instead of needing engineered enzymes means it will be easier to create a continuous process with higher output.

Zoidberg has an MD, should at least be right of center.

- Comment on Probably 3 months ago:
They’re affiliated with two universities. Their card can only list one affiliation. When the organizer asked which university to list, they said “probably University X”. Most people would have simply put “University X”, but since the person said “probably” the organizer decided to be literal and also put “probably”.

Some authors report that in flight, the bird makes a “plip-plop” call like dripping water, which locals have also likened to the sound of the bird pulling out a person’s eye.
How do the locals know the sounds of pulling out a person’s eye?

I picked engineering. Let the physicists do the hard work of figuring out how the universe works, then I’ll step in with a handbook of formulas that you already derived and take someone’s money to stamp it.

Earth - any water repellant fabric, probably synthetic
Venus - I’d go with Teflon and extend it to the ground
Titan - SCBA
Neptune and HD 189733b - something hard and durable but lightweight. I’d go with titanium. Chainmaille extending to the ground.
OGLE-TR-56b - tungsten, with a mobile support apparatus.
