Then apply crushed ramen and super glue into the open wound

I enjoyed the Tokyo Drift achievement in Sea of Thieves. I was running from a larger ship and naturally thought of going full steer around a rock and dropping anchor. It worked! We lived.

It still can’t really fall. It’d be moving incredibly fast sideways. Fast enough to miss the Earth for a while. Geo stationary orbit is the point where orbital speed matches Earth’s rotational speed, so if it’s anchored at the ground, then it’s at orbital speed if at GEO. The higher the orbit, the slower the orbital speed. So using a higher orbit to maintain tension means it’d be traveling beyond escape velocity, held down by the cable. A break would release the mass into the solar system

Because it comes out mirrored when recorded and replayed on stereo audio

Morton’s toe, Greek foot. Studies vary because obviously the sample can be very biased, but it’s reported as occurring in about 22% of the global population

The knuckles at your palm roll down

Movies also have this “language” thing. It distinguishes audio books as much closer to reading than a movie is, despite all 3 conveying the same content.

Tesla is such a clear symptom of this. I love cars. I’m on the left. Both groups hate Tesla by majority. The left hates Musk and fascism. Car enthusiasts lean right and hate EVs for being boring/what they consider fascism (EV mandates that they don’t understand). The left reports they’ve left tesla for other EVs. The gearheads keep showing “proof” EV (Tesla) sales are down and the truck segment keeps showing how bad the cyber truck is. And yet, I continue to see brand new Teslas driving around. There’s a ~2023 model refresh on the 3/Y that makes them stand out. I see a different cyber truck almost daily (most I see are vinyl wrapped a different color to be unique).

They don’t give a shit about the big picture. It’s a personal-gain-today decision.

Have you ever tried making a proper drawing with a mouse?

That’s Dean Kamen’s fault

Or that the site owners aren’t just two bit grifters

We picked a Sleep Number because we have different firmness preferences and because I knew 3 couples at the time with a bit over 10 years of use at the time. The only complaint was one person has to air up every few weeks. It’s set to 100 and probably sags to 90 lol.

That being said, Lemmy, get the pitchforks. I wasn’t able to get a basic pump/controller, only the wifi-enabled “smart” pump. Paid $50 extra for a Bluetooth remote to not use their app. I don’t have it on the network. If the pump dies, fuck 'em. I’ll put a Schrader valve on the tube and get the tire inflator. If an RV thread is correct that 100 is 0.6psi and if my fuzzy math is correct, half a queen is the same total amount of air as a typical car tire. ~30x the volume but 1/50th the pressure

Are you saying they’re in sync? And the wavelength is that reliable?

Same, especially because I’m a frequent sky-looker but have to prepare any ride-along that all we’re going to see by eye is pale fuzzy blobs. All my camera is going to show you tonight is pale sprindly clouds. I think it’s neat as hell I can use some $150 binoculars to find interstellar objects, but many people are bored by the lack of Hubble-quality sights on tap. Like… Yes, and then sent a telescope to space in order to get those images.

That being said, I once had the opportunity to see the Orion nebula through a ~30" reflector at an Observatory, and damn. I got to eyeball about what my camera can do in a single frame with perfect tracking and settings.

As someone discovering their IQ might be room temperature, I forgot we were talking about room temperature. Maybe there’s arctic mushrooms to back me up? Or an ice fishing bathroom with the door left open

Damn, some commenters are just being rude. It’s not a ridiculous question and this is the community for it, even if it was, isn’t it? It’s no real stretch of the imagination to wonder why if phones have great cameras and tablets have good cameras, why don’t laptops offer anything close? I agree, the bulk of the laptop makes it awkward and the demand is low when “everyone” in the primary markets already have a camera phone in their pocket

Unless it’s -40

Yes, that would be one way to make it noticeable. If all land/sea floor lifted, gradually, 1.2km into the air, we wouldn’t see it. I also Flubbed the per-km increase of the ruler and edited it to correct the increase down to 20cm per km. So as far as our ability to tell things are 0.02% further, no mere mortal would recognize it. But with a lap band around the Earth, we’d definitely notice the new halo floating above us instead of being a tripping hazard.

That reminds me of a fun fact about how the increase in circumference does not care what your starting values are. If you wanted to wrap a rope around a soccer ball, then make the rope lift 1m above the surface of the ball all around, you’d do probably do the pid math like (pid2)-(pi*d1) :

3.140.022m=0.069m of rope around the ball
3.14(0.022+1+1)=6.349m of rope to float 1m above the ball
6.349-0.069=6.28m of extra rope

Then do it for the planet.

3.1440,000,000m=125,600,000. 00m of rope around the planet
3.14(40,000,000+1+1)=125,600,006.28m of rope to float 1m above the ground 125,600,006.28-125, 600,000= 6.28m of extra rope.

1m above, or 2m greater diameter, can just be fed directly into pid as derived from pi(d2-d1) since we know it’s a basic request to lift it 1m

67% of the Earth’s mass is comprised of silicates in the mantle. Solid silicates have very low thermal coefficients of expansion, meaning they change volume very little in comparison to other compounds. So if the mantle was cooled and solidified to 0, then heated to 50, it’d have very little effect. It’d grow something like 0.02% in volume.

Being that the mantle is generally liquid, you’ll see a much larger effect from the initial cooling. But how much? I don’t know. Liquid rock isn’t present in mere mortal online calculators and my ability to dive into the material properties and manually calculate it is long gone from my head.

But “much” larger may not be significant to the human experience, given that 0.02% would be imperceptible as a baseline. If you had a 1km long solid silicon ruler, heating it from 0 to 50C would make it just (edit) 0.2m longer. A circumferential ruler reaching around the Earth along the equator would go from ~40,000km to 40,008km.

Edit: corrected 20m to 0.2m. Flubbed the percentage in the calculator as 0.02 (2%) instead of 0.0002 (0.02%). So really, really imperceptible to a human walking 1km

I take it the Switch/S2 has many non-Nintendo games shared with other consoles? Hard to search through 4,000 titles on Wikipedia to find them at random, but I did see they had one Assassin’s Creed (Odyssey) at the game’s launch. I never really had Nintendo systems and just associate them with exclusive Nintendo games.

I’m choosing to believe the Steam Machine will do more of the same for PC games. Maybe it won’t force optimization at launch, but I hope it maintains itself as a benchmark for builds and provides demand for optimization to a certain spec.
