- Comment on ‘Politicians don’t understand science’: advisers give evidence at UK COVID inquiry 11 months ago:
Politicians don’t need to understand science, they simply have to trust scientists. That’s their job.
When politicians don’t do that, you gotta fire them. And only the voters can - but the voters refuse to do their job.

Switching to Linux is a pain, but its a pain once
Until there’s some weird problem and the only way to solve it is to copy some dudes code from StackExchange and pray that it isn’t actually a harmful script.

Yeah it’s not possible to build ships from scratch. You need a buy or steal a base ship and then can only modify.

Oh, I don’t have a problem getting money. I have the problem spending it.
Like, of course I’m looting everything (don’t care about oxygen, I don’t die because of it) and selling it - but that’s super tedious. Great, the Key has 5 vendors next to each other, but when you play on very hard, half of the guns you find sell for 3-5k and those vendors are immediatly broke again.
Just the loot from cleaning one ecliptic Camp (which is fun) takes super long to turn into money.
Time I could spend building spaceships.

You should wear the broken constellation helmet you find on the Frontiers with the sticker “don’t use” on the visor.
- Comment on Assuming time travelers are real, but only influenced events so far back enough that a smartphone they lost in the past didn't survive for archeologists to find, how far back are we speaking? 1 year ago:
I swear there was a movie 20 years ago of a time traveller taking a picture of Jesus that survived until today.
On a more serious note: I think this question is ill-posed. A smartphone being buried in certain layers in the earth might fossilize and endure millions and even a billion years. A phone in a region with rock or ice flow might be grinded down into fine sand within hundreds of years. A smartphone touching lava will be burned to crisp within minutes So it depends heavily on where that phone is dropped.
You also gotta ask: is it findable? Did it migrate deep into the earth where no one will ever dig? Did it land at the bottom of the ocean and buried by layers of sand, which in the next 6 billion years will never be completely removed? How would you find such a tiny item on a planet that it so large, if you were to pick a location at random, with 99% chance it would be uninhabited?
- Comment on Where are you? Can you move? 1 year ago:
I am this. The human nervous system is actually what I am, most of it is concentrated in the brain, but there’s also lots of it outside of it. The rest of my body is just an astronaut suit made out of flesh to keep me alive.
