- Comment on Wtf did I just read 2 days ago:
Best advice I’ve probably gotten on any subject ever was in a modern physics course. The professor said to focus on the math first and then, only when you’ve got a solution, think about what it means. If you try to think about it while working it out, your intuitions about what should happen will get in the way and you’ll make mistakes.

There’s also the nocebo meme, where you show someone a regular meme and tell them it’s a shitpost.

As someone who is from Or*n, rofl. My parents even have a story about their dog from when I was a baby freaking out about a banana slug while we were camping.

Also thunder and lightning really ought to count as seeing and hearing electricity.
Hell, seeing anything at all may technically count, because electromagnetic waves.

Oh. I thought they were saying they’re good a drawing curly brackets.
Which, those are some nice curly brackets.

Excuse me, but clearly it’s UNIX that leads to Dilophosaur consumption. We know this.
- Comment on Indiana Jones being first-person "separates" it from other action-adventures, says director 3 months ago:
Other action-adventures like Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine?
(Which, in fairness, did get called a Tomb Raider knockoff.)

how do you think they hunted bears?
I’m a little surprised by the crossbows. My guess would have been rifles.

I’m pretty sure it’s a ∂ lying on its front.
- Comment on The Silt Striders always made me feel kinda uncomfortable, anyone else? 5 months ago:
Not to mention that Oblivion’s interpretation of Cyrodiil is just so bland compared to Vvardenfell.
Which is only exacerbated by how weird some of the Daggerfall/Morrowind-era lore about the imperial province was.

- Comment on I love how SNW responded to this sexism by surrounding Pike with women 6 months ago:
Sometimes I wonder if I was around in the 60s if I’d hear more people bitch about her being a woman or her being black.
Not really important in the broader context, but I think Pike was talking about Una here.

0.995 kg of gold and 5g of protium
Actually less than that because only around 10% of the gold created this way (assuming a natural distribution of Hg isotopes) would be stable, so you’d get a bunch of β particles too. I don’t even know how Au-201 would act, and it would comprise 30% of the output.
