As a person like that, I’ll apologise on their behalf. We mostly find carnivore through illness and it fixes it, we want everyone around us to feel as good as we do. It’s hard to keep quiet.

But no one thinks the same about statins, for example

It’s not medication, it’s medication that addresses mental illness

I felt I needed more than 1L of DHMO after breakfast, I have been a habitual user for pretty much my whole life

It’s there hope for me‽

Australian magpies have a much nicer song than any corvid

Kelvins are abbreviated to capital K

Cool to 25, heat to 20 (Canberra, Australia)

IRL 1984 was fine. America was still good; the Soviet Union didn’t nuke us all

Musk is a shit, but lying doesn’t help

I really loved my Trinitron, but it needed so much space

Flat CRTs were excellent though.

That’s been the military’s job for most of history - keep the king in power

Depending on how closed loops of time work

That do. The failure comes if the spacecraft use lower air pressure, then the ink is pushed out of the pen by the pressurised gas in the ink

The same thing causes some pens to leak in aeroplanes.

Sure, but don’t lick your lips after

If you’re American I don’t think you really want passenger pigeons

People judge 4chan by /b

It has always had wholesome bits too

Sure, but if we take it as true that light speed is the same in every direction – which is perfectly consistent with everything ever measured – you can measure speed between two endpoints using two atomic clocks and a synchronised experiment, with corrections for the relativistic effect of moving the clocks to the different places

Unfortunately you then get the low bandwidth of the frequencies that can penetrate that much ground

That speed of causality is usually at least 3 times better than you can get in real life

You get 300 million metres per second in light (including radio in free space) so wifi to your laptop is at that speed

A wave in wire (eg ethernet over cat6 cable) is seldom better than 0.9c

Laser light in an optic fibre (how almost all data moves long distance) is about 200 million metres per second as it follows a zig zag path in the fibre reflecting off the walls of the fibre

The future promise of starlink – where your connection goes to a satellite then to another and another satellite until being down linked to the server farm hosting the content – should provide much lower latency

Because they were illustrating the leg muscles, and the rest was mostly just a sketch to fill out the picture
