Spy x Family in roughly one week, and One Punch Man in roughly two 😭 (joy).
Interesting new titles too. What’s the one so long that it covers the whole image (on my mobile browser)? 😂
Thanks for sharing!
- Comment on The Wikipedia page for the fediverse describes a den of iniquity 2 weeks ago:
What’s written on Wikipedia is no different from what’s written on a wall in some city’s street. No one knows who wrote it, no one knows how much of it is true. What’s written is determined by insistence, not by agreement or expertise. Whether you can get something useful from its pages is a matter of luck.
- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 1 month ago:
The problem I’m discovering now with Linux & Lenovo/Thinkpads is that Lenovo officially only supports one particular LTS version for any given laptop model. For instance, an X1 Carbon gen 9 officially only supports Ubuntu 20.04. If your laptop – hopefully – lasts longer than the long-term-support duration, then you have to choose between (1) staying with an OS version that’s becoming more and more outdated, or (2) possibly be on your own if hardware/firmware problems appear in the more recent OS version.
Personally when my Thinkpad (Kubuntu) stops working properly I’ll go with a vendor that fully supports Linux, including updates.

This was a cool chapter from so many points of view indeed!

Also the Darkshine moment. And the Serious Series of course!

as evidenced by the rise of the Julius Caesar of our time—Donald Trump
Is it the author of the article who writes such idiocies? or the author of the book?

You don’t solve fascism by bowing down. But of course one can wait for another population to solve it for them.
- Comment on A little physics riddle 10 months ago:
Completely agree, which I think is very interesting. In Newtonian mechanics, some scalar and vector quantities such as mass, internal energy, contact forces (stress), heat flux are frame-indifferent. Other, such as velocity and acceleration, are frame-dependent but we do have transformation rules for them. Some quantities – and quite important ones – such as momentum, are in a sort of limbo: they are frame-dependent, but there’s no clear transformation rule for them.
From the point of view of relativity theory, it’s interesting to note that for this particular case of coordinate transformation – note that it is not a Lorentz boost – we can actually calculate the spatial components of momentum in the new coordinate system, if the reported momentum is expressed as a covariant vector (p_µ). This is because its unknown temporal component (energy) gets multiplied by zero in this transformation. But the text is ambiguous on whether the reported components are covariant or contravariant.

Regarding the third body, consider the case where its mass is, say, 2 kg, and the case where it’s 1 kg instead (the momentum being the same).

Yes we’re considering Newtonian mechanics in any case. What I’m especially curious about is what physical principles people use to motivate their answers.
