What if all particles are waves. They just temporarily form loops that we consider to have particle behaviour when observed on a larger scale.

They’re looking for yes-men, who will be loyal to them in even the worst possible situations. Heiling is just a test to weed out anyone else.
Also, the heiling gesture came a little too natural to them.

You’re right about the Nintendo stuff, but could you please not mention grandma’s playbox ever again in posts where the topic is about insinuating filthy vaginas.
- Comment on What's the tallest pyramid we'd be able to build? Can we reach space? 2 weeks ago:
Oh there are many wild ideas… I don’t know of any other pyramid shaped ones though.
For other shapes, I think The Line in Saudi Arabia is worth a mention, because it’s actually being built. Slave labour and other issues aside, it’s interesting that they attempt to follow through on such an insane plan.

This design project might interest you, but do notice that it is not currently possible.

- Comment on Does Aphantasia exist for senses other than vision? 2 weeks ago:
There’s amusia, which is “tone-deafness”.
It’s one thing to not sing in tune or not remember a melody correctly, but there are people who can not even hear a difference between two melodies, even if they can tell other sounds apart. I would guess that’s somewhat similar, because I doubt these people have any chance in imagining what a melody sounds like.

we could control it if we took it seriously
I doubt that. It’s already too late. It’s literally everywhere.

- Comment on How much of my sleep debt do I need to pay off? 3 weeks ago:
Sleep doesn’t work like a health bar in a video game.
Different stages of sleep have different efficiencies. For instance, passing out drunk doesn’t count as sleep. You body is still active in digestion which can prevent a good sleep, or intoxication can prevent the brain from going into deep sleep.
Sleeping is an activity. Humans are just weird for closing both eyes and both sides of the brain at the same time, but it doesn’t mean that we shut down completely. Most animals do not sleep this way If we could experience partial sleeping like animals, we’d probably understand better what a good sleep is…

Wood lice perhaps, but you’d notice if you have a lot of them around.
- Comment on Taking them to Canada. 3 weeks ago:
I used to pack eggs on pallets. We’d throw a sheet of cardboard between every 10 layer to distribute weight. I don’t know the maximum height, because we only stacked them as high as the doorway allowed. About 3 meters from floor.
For a scooter… I suppose he’ll have to pick them up and carry them through a door eventually, which will set the height.

A remake of the arcomage game from the inn in MM7 is available for Android. It’s called archmage lite. It’s not what you asked for but if you enjoyed it in MM7 you’ll like this too.

There’s a duty limit of $200 for a one day trip, unless they’ve changed it. Two day trips are $800.
Everything you buy over the limit should be declared and taxed. If you fail to declare something and get caught you’ll be fined for smugling.

The original “academic” is a philosophy professor, so unless you want to act like The Thought Police, then you shouldn’t have any reason to be angry over this thought being thought.
Her actual paper also warns against the idea. The whole story was blown out of proportion by the media.
If you still want to shave her, you should probably ask for her consent.

I think this is actually still an issue. On PCs the space bar + up + left arrow keys conflicts on some keyboards. Try it: open Notepad, press two arrow keys and then space. Most of them works but if you hold up and left, it will not make a space.
This is annoying in racing games, when you want to accelerate, turn left and use the hand brake at the same time.

the fact that developing countries will industrialize in the same way western countries have and will start to produce similar environmental emissions
That’s not a fact. It makes more sense for developing countries to skip directly to renewable energy sources.
- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 3 months ago:
Well it isn’t 6.
From Wikipedia:
In 2002, lecturers and students from the University of Plymouth MediaLab Arts course used a £2,000 grant from the Arts Council to study the literary output of real monkeys. They left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Celebes crested macaques in Paignton Zoo in Devon, England from May 1 to June 22, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website. Not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five total pages largely consisting of the letter “S”,the lead male began striking the keyboard with a stone, and other monkeys followed by urinating and defecating on the machine
Mike Phillips, director of the university’s Institute of Digital Arts and Technology (i-DAT), said that the artist-funded project was primarily performance art, and they had learned “an awful lot” from it. He concluded that monkeys "are not random generators. They’re more complex than that
