How is “Peter Thiel is a piece of shit” news?

I’m torn. Part of me hopes this is true, part of me hopes it’s not.

yes

Isn’t a keto diet dangerous without a prior check-up?

We do not know because Fahrenheit didn’t document it, and i wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t keep track of it through his test runs either. He didn’t say which salt and how much of it in how much water, no purity indication, no nothing. He was a craftsman, not a chemist and made the scale to sell his, I concede, at the time superior thermometers. He basically vibe coded a scale in the 1700s.

But that’s all just hogwash, Fahrenheit today is literally defined through Celsius, so the US uses a metric scale but with a factor and an offset they pulled out of their ass to make it more rollercoaster like the rest of the units they like. The same as pretty much every unit they use: inch is defined through meters, pound via kilogram, just butchered for the vibes of yore. Good for them.

To offset that, make them drunk. Drunk people boil at lower temperatures than sober ones.

Well, they will be prosecuted, or at least there is the chance that they will be. Trump was already convicted of sexual assault which in other states would have been a rape charge. The problem is that he, nor “high-profile people” will ever spend even a single day in the prison cell they belong into.

If you want me to show up on Christmas, just pay me enough to show up on Christmas. It’s really that simple, you’re a million dollar company, act like it.

I didn’t notice. I don’t use a messenger app. I only use the fucking SMS text like back in 2004.

Yes, Thanos snaps are multiplicative.

But I think we can establish that objects get eliminated in their entirety and not on an atomic scale, or else the snap should have killed way more than half of the people considering that about half their cells just committed sudoku.

Btw if it worked on an atomic scale:

We assume Thanos only wants to snap the gold that has use for humans. We mined around 210,000 tonnes of gold and known reserves of gold hold another roughly 80,000 tonnes. That makes 290,000 tonnes total. 290,000 tonnes of gold have around 8.87 * 10^32 gold atoms, so Thanos would need to snap on average log_2(8.87*10^32) + 2 = 112 times to eradicate all of that gold.

Note that the total amount of gold on Earth is much larger than that (unknown deposits, deeps in the crust, in the core), but that would get rid of the stuff we actually care about.

I’ll preface this with that I’m not a believing Christian, I don’t even believe in God. But I grew up with religious grand-parents and also had religious education since childhood from talking to our town priest at various summer camps that were organized and supervised by the church. I was that weird kid that always asked too many questions.

It’s one of those attempts at bible-thumping that is just abhorrent and completely wrong.

In Christian belief (more strongly held to by catholic branches of Christianity), Jesus endured torture, insults and death and in return, he only wished for salvation for everyone (including the people insulting, torturing and killing him). Jesus did this because he knew that the only entity that is allowed to judge you is God and God will judge you when you die and by enduring the atrocities committed against him, he showed faith in God’s fair judgement.

Technically, that means that seeking revenge or justice for a crime committed against you is equal to not trusting in God to judge your perpetrator(s) fairly in afterlife and as such is not living the example that Jesus gave. Instead, you should forgive and pray and hope that your abuser will understand and repent his wrongdoings.

It does however not transfer their sin onto you, you are committing a different sin in doing so, so they keep their sin of being a childfucker, so what these kooks are saying is baloney. It’s also entirely unchristian to demand absolution from anyone but God and it’s a sin doing so. As a victim, it’s also allowed to think about and voice your anger and frustration of crimes committed against you, you should just not act upon your anger irrationally. Suing somebody for damages is not irrational, telling them to fuck off and never come near you ever again is not irrational, so they are plainly wrong.

The difference between Palestinians and house elves is that Palestinians don’t like being in a concentration camp that is constantly being bombarded by its guards.

House elves like being servile and the thing that struck Hermione the most is that many owners took advantage of their servitude by using them as a valve to live out their sadism. Hermione’s biggest flaw was that her goals were all over the place and it would have been better to just cross out the cruel treatment of the elves by pursuing a protection law similar to the law to “protect” muggles. Protect in quotes here because wizards and witches (especially the adult ones) are batshit fucking insane and care much more about their secrecy than the victims of the crime. Meddling with shit like health care and wages for house elves, which they don’t even want, is pointless.

Don’t pee on jellyfish stings by the way. It’s unsanitary and doesn’t help.

Wasn’t Tesla complaining about profit loss all year, stock tanking and all? Wasn’t this Musk’s fault as well? If I do shoddy work at my place, I get fired, not a trillion bucks extra paycheck, but maybe I’m just too stupid.

Yeah, Russian is quite a bit easier to romanize, so it should work even better. For cyrillic, you can just replace each character with the romanized variant, but this doesn’t work for Farsi because they usually leave out non-starting vowels, so if you did the same approach you’d get something unreadable lol

I use it to romanize Farsi song texts. I cannot read their script and chatGPT can. The downside is that you have to do it a few lines at a time or else it starts hallucinating like halfway through. There is no other tool that reliably does this, the one I used before from University of Tehran seems to have stopped working.

Tinfoil hat: the threat was just a ruse to provide plausible deniability. The actual reason they are allowed to establish an air base on US soil is because they gave Trump a $400M airplane.

The poor shareholders and CEOs. My heart goes out to them :(

B&W2 was meh. I liked the erratic nature of creature behavior in 1, even tho it meant that you had to be more involved. Not punishing your creature for bad behavior was interpreted as encouraging it, which turned your buddy into a scheming, little brat and that was funny. The creature in 2 is way too streamlined.

They don’t do that because the controller chip will cancel vibration after a while. The reason for that is exactly what you would imagine people used it for.

You’d need to mod the controller with a custom chip.
