I’ve gotta hand it to you, that’s a good comparison

I’ll only be a carnivore on day 1

Let he whose wife hasn’t flown an insurrectionist flag cast the first stone.

Literally everyone grabs rocks

Economists hate this one weird trick!

but women (who are human beings)

Is that actually the church’s stance? Like, has the pope ever said this?

What about one that pisses beer?

As annoying as it is to lug a bag around and find room for it, I much prefer this to checking it. There’s the small but nonzero chance your bag doesn’t make it to your destination, plus the added time waiting at baggage return.

It still is a blurry orange ball, where the orange is the location of radio wave emission. The team did a new image where they measured the polarization of the light, which is the result of strong magnetic fields where the light was emitted. The lines are drawn over the image to depict the polarization orientation of the light as a function of location.

I want to be clear that this is an incredible feat, both the fact that they can produce an image of a black hole from the center of our galaxy AND determine the polarization of the light. But they don’t have a super crisp image of matter swirling into a black hole.

These are strange times for the Berry Club. Strange times…

I’m guessing they signed up for HP Instant Ink, a monthly subscription service that monitors the ink levels in the printer and automatically mails you refills.

If you buy an HP printer, they HEAVILY promote this and offer discounts/free trials. I declined, because fuck that, but I could see someone agreeing and forgetting about it.

I will run this thing until it dies.

Good luck with that. My 2011 MacBook Pro still works. I’m pretty sure it’ll outlive me.

Settle down, Jayden

One definition: food “belonging to the category that is salty or spicy rather than sweet.”

It’s a bit of an odd definition but it gets the gist across. An example of using savory: differentiating between pies with savory filling (meats, vegetables, etc) and sweet filling (fruits, custard).

If I were a woman I’d never have sex again with a man

Many of these states don’t have an exception for rape. So the only choice women get is whether or not they live in the state.

Idk how a 10 minute drive is a half hour walk. Average walking speed is 3 mph, so a half hour is 1.5 miles. If you’re driving that in 10 minutes, you’re only averaging 9 mph.

I don’t mean to pile on here because I understand your frustration. I grew up in NYC where basically no one drives, and didn’t get a driver’s license until my 30s when I moved to California for work. Even then I put off getting a car for years, since I like walking and don’t mind “decent” public transit.

But it just became impossible to continue. My commute was an hour and 45 minutes (one way), with about 40 minutes of walking, a train and a bus. I like walking but when it was over 100 degrees in the summer, or raining, or a wildfire smoke day it was miserable. The buses run every 30 minutes so if there’s a missed connection the commute becomes over 2 hours (still just one way). And the train has only 1 line so when there’s a mechanical issue you’re out of luck and just have to call an Uber anyway.

I finally broke down and got a car. My commute is now 30 minutes each way. The gas for my commute is somehow cheaper than the public transit. It’s ridiculous and it shouldn’t be this way, but it is.

It’s already been published. But it’s superconducting at 10 K. This is a new high temperature record, but pretty far from room temperature.

They’ve been doing studies of what would be required for ignition for a while, but have never demonstrated ignition using the Z machine.

If they did have ignition, there’s no way they would’ve let LLNL claim to be first and enjoy all the media attention.

Nah, the Z machine never achieved ignition. That doesn’t mean it’s not a really cool facility though!

If they need to raise prices by 18% to pay their workers, then they need to actually raise the prices on the menu. Right now this is just bait and switch, it’s dishonest and possibly illegal depending on the location.
