It was overshadowed by the first bit where you said “by definition, impossible”. It kinda boned the delivery, TBH.

Damn. That’s good.

Earth-like is a very broad term. If an organism has something similar to DNA or shared any kind of chemical processes it could be “earth-like”.

As an odd hypothetical example, there is a theory that fungi could potentially spread from planet to planet. Even with a billion or so years of independent evolution, fungi on Venus and fungi on Earth could still share some of the same traits.

NSFW filter works for me.

Now after almost 3 years, Russia not only hasn’t managed to take Ukraine, but has lost territory to them too. For months now Russia has still not been able to take it back!

That was a battle cry for a tankie to show up and produce a different statistic. FYI, it’s usually a time capped chart that limits data in Russia’s favor.

War is a dynamic phenomenon, after all. (You can usually take a specific block of time from any point and produce a favorable result by limiting which variables are used. This is why internet charts and graphs must always be verified, actually.)

Ask! I am sure your nephew will be glad to give you a not-so-short summary of the entire Pokemon universe. (Most kids that have hobbies like that usually have every tiny detail memorized and are willing to show off their expertise.)

Good.

I was the idiot that always brought the full tower and the biggest 14" CRT.

It was stupid, until people realized that I had brought all 1000mhz.

What are we going to use for “no” then?

Blockchain!

My translator shows “enterprise”, not “business”.

While the words technically have the same meaning in this case, enterprise goose has a bit more pizazz!

Religion is seriously fucked up, actually.

If you can get people to believe in magic they have never seen because of stories that never happened to explain an afterlife that nobody knows about, you can easily get them to also fork over a considerable amount of their income to avoid a fate that will never happen.

Nevermind that you can also produce some fearless soldiers who will gladly hand over their life for no real reason.

Eesh. Humans are weird.

Cheap Chinese electronics come with a ton of caveats. There are reasons why you can get $150 dollar drills for $23.

(Just search for any name brand drill on any large online retailer site, if that link doesn’t work.)

My guess is that you are visualizing the event horizon as a gradient when it should be viewed as a hard-line barrier.

As anything approaches the event horizon, it still has a chance to escape. Once an object crosses that line, it’s game over: All arrows point in.

Now, I have also heard that of you wait long enough for the black hole to completely evaporate and are able to collect every bit of the black hole as it does, you should be able to reassemble the data you desire. It would probably take a supercomputer more massive than the original black hole, but it’s worth a shot. As a bonus, I believe you have to solve for an information duplication paradox that is tucked in there somewhere as well.

Isn’t that technically VR porn?

It’s great for what it is. For me, it’s intended as my portable synth and it fills that role quite well. While the minifreak is great, it’s is coupled too tightly with its software for it to leave my desk. The microfreak is more standalone and only functions as a more traditional synth, which is perfect for me.

It’s not an absolutely stellar device, but I don’t need it to be. It’s a good mix of analog and digital functionality, which is also my preference.

TBH, it’s just a way for me to offload a couple more oscillators from my PC/DAW. Some of my more recent music is extremely synth-heavy so the fewer instances of software synths I have running, the better.

Very little trading is actually done in the NYSE building now since everything it online. The attack would be symbolic, I suppose, but traders would shake it off in under a week.

This reeks of a scam. When something is supposed to do everything, it generally will be an expensive way to do nothing at all.

But it’s a new and revolutionary thin client. It’s got 365 in the name, anyway.

Nuke your watch history. It’ll generally go right back to your subs and start recommending “normal” stuff later.
