  • That's weird. Probably not a big dea…

    Russia follows you now

    The fuck have I done?!

  • I wish I could be that happy.

  • OP: We have to eliminate them all.

    Me: There’s one, get him!

    🔫 OP: Did you just say “him”?

  • For those wondering, one degree celsius increase means every kilogram of air has at least increased by 1°C. The specific heat of air is about 1158 J/(kgC). Now that might not seem like a lot of energy, in fact 4g (one teaspoon) of sugar has 68,000 J of chemical energy.

    The thing is, you might have noticed, there's a lot of air around us. About 5.14 x 10^(18) kg of air. So when you take a pretty normal number and multiply it by an insanely huge number, you get an insanely huge number. That's about 5 exajoules of energy. That is the total energy consumption of the US in 2021 for four million years. Or in sugar terms, equal to the energy of sugar if you converted a little over half of the Earth's entire mass into sugar.

    We hit that additional amount of energy in our atmosphere in 2017.

  • To put this into perspective, a humid 60°C are conditions where hyperthermia (getting too hot) can take effect within 10 minutes of exposure.

    We're 8°C from that point. We are within arms reach of creating conditions so hostile to human life that survivability for most people will be unimaginably low.

  • Literally was that Kbin started with the letter K, and thus matched with my going DE, KDE. So really just a matter of taste I guess. I always recommend people to use what they like.

  • Literally nothing in the article positing that dark stars may indicate Supersymmetry, ugh! Dark stars are thought to be the annihilation of neutralinos. The gravity of these particles would be enough to draw hydrogen gas close together but the specific annihilation would generate heat preventing the hydrogen gas from coalescing to start nuclear fusion.

    This is one of the purposed methods by which one would might observe a dark star. Some random cloud of hydrogen gas giving off way more heat in the form of gamma rays, neutrinos, and antimatter than a random cloud of hydrogen gas would be able to give off.

    This is JADES-GS-z13-0, JADES-GS-z12-0, and JADES-GS-z11-0 which the light from has traveled 13.6 billion light-years, meaning that we're looking at a very early universe here. Which that makes sense, dark stars would have only been able to form in the earliest days of the universe. Back then, the density of neutralinos would have been high enough to encourage dark star production, the proper distance of JADES-GS-z13-0 et al is 33.6 billion light years, so yeah MUCH HIGHER concentration. However, with the continued expansion of the universe, the density would have dropped low enough to prevent high enough neutralino concentration to produce dark stars.

    However, there is probably a non-supersymmetry way to explain dark stars that match up with the purposed candidates here. I just don't know it. The point being is that IF these are confirmed, there's a new strong argument for spuersymmetry, though I won't hold my breath. I know quite a few folk were disappointed with the lack of squarks in ATLAS at the LHC.

  • Not trying for the fancy shit. Just replicate it the way mom used to make it.

  • Hey OP. Check your DNS settings after your uninstall. I don’t know if this is still the case but there were reports this browser hijacks DNS by changing where requests are sent to.

  • As much as everyone is willing to find anything disparaging for Florida, there’s more here to take away. California is in the same situation and ultimately every State will come to face this.

    The underlying issue is climate change. Insurance bets long and with the climate changing on an almost yearly basis now, there isn’t a long game to play. If the various leaders of this planet do not act on this challenge the long term cost is only going to go up.

    Florida and California are just the heralds, this IS ABSOLUTELY coming to every doorstep on this planet.

  • For those wondering. Yes is real post.

    Maybe he is thinking of scraping? He did file a lawsuit trying to go after four different people for "scraping". But one, the identity of the four hasn't even been figured out yet. And two, the Ninth Circuit ruled last year that scraping by itself is not illegal and leaned on the standard the Fifth Circuit put in that, scraping is only illegal if it enriches a person.

    Either way, I guess now that I've linked his post it's up to you all to decide how you will handle the moral conundrum of downloading a Tweet.

  • char**

    So that you can have an array of strings. It's useful to remember that in C arrays and pointers are exactly the same thing, just syntax sugar for however you want to look at it. There are a few exceptions where this isn't true however:

    1. Argument of the & operator
    2. Argument of sizeof
    3. C11 has alignof which decay is a no-no
    4. When it's a string literal of char[] or wide literal of wchar_t[], so like char str[] = "yo mama";

    But int** is just an array of int*, which likewise int* can just be an array of int. In the picture here, we have int** anya that is an array of int* with a size of 1, int* anya that is an array of int with a size of 1, and then of course our int there being pointed to by int* anya.

  • For a guy who is on the US House Armed Services Committee, he sure as hell understands surprisingly little about World War II and the Cold War. Russia has expansion interest since after World War II. In fact, that's how a lot of Soviet Russia was formed. The allies bombed the fuck out the nations, the nations were destitute, broken down countries are really easy to just sweep in and take over. The thing as we all know about that last part is that, it's easy to topple leadership in a country, it's mighty difficult to maintain your grasp on the nation cough Iraq cough.

    NATO aims to combine a military strength to act as a deterrent towards expansion into member states, which is why a lot of Europe is in NATO. The only thing guiding NATO is the fourteen articles of the North Atlantic Treaty, outside of that, nations are free to govern themselves. This is in opposition to how Russia was going about adding Ukraine, Moldova, and so on to their collective group.

    NATO in very loose terms is a different way of doing a USSR, if that helps Matt Gatez to understand "WHY" we can't just:

    extend NATO to Russia and make it an anti-China alliance?

    Russia isn't interested in upholding the means by which nations govern. It's like asking the San Francisco 49ers why they won't invite the Boston Red Soxs to come play a game. They aren't doing things that have enough similarities to not have a ton of friction on the collaborative and still call it "football" or "baseball" as we know it. We can totally invent something completely different, but per the definition of things being what they claim to be: Something completely different is in fact completely different than NATO currently be, and thus, we would just invent something different (oh say like a G and some number after it) that has less friction to facilitate interchange in that regard.

    But even then when we try something different and invite Russia, they still just have to go edgelord and fuck their membership up. So we literally tried to take Chad to get ice cream at McDonald's as a way to see if they're ready to go to an actual sit down place, AND Chad just couldn't help but to take a shit in the ball pit. So since Chad still is shitting in ball pits, we cannot take Chad to the sit down place with the nice dessert. That's just how it be currently.

    So hopefully that's dumbed down enough for even him to understand why we "just don't go and do that thing". If Russia cannot help itself to fuck it's membership up with the G8, they sure as shit aren't going to act proper in a setting like NATO. How is this a thing that eludes this guy?

  • ELI5: Price still going up. But price is going up much slower.

  • denied that he is a racist based on the premise that he coached college football for years and worked with many people of colour even as he faces criticisms about his comments regarding white nationalism

    You know ignoring all of the obviousness bullshit that not only indicates that this statement itself is racist and all of the empirical evidence that indicates that he is indeed racists. Just ignoring all of that for a moment.

    The weather was sunny yesterday and today it was mostly cloudy. Who knew that the state of things could possibly change as we progress through linear time? So, let's just fucking throw the man a bone and say that somehow this dumbass wasn't a racist before and his off the edge "proof" is somehow solid.

    Y'all brace yourselves. Shit changes over time! So when dude sits there and yaps:

    Now, if that white nationalist is a racist, I'm totally against anything that they want to do, because I am 110 per cent against racism.

    How else are they dumbass? I fucking pulled hands of tobacco, picked eggs from the coop, and milk cattle as a kid. I lived in dirt farm, BFE, my neighbor married his step niece, we didn't even have fucking roads middle of nowhere Tennessee AND EVEN I know that if this is what you are truly running with you are either:

    1. So fucking privileged that you literally have no concept of what racist means and you've got a long way to go to NOT be a fucking racist.
    2. Know exactly what you're saying and trying to be clever to say it without saying it, which you failed spectacularly at.

    Either way, it doesn't matter which way the wind was blowing last week when the motherfucking twister is coming down today. That's what this shit boils down to. Whatever his fucking past, which even then it's not a good argument, none of that matters when racist ass shit is spewing out his goddamn mouth today and he's being unapologetic about it. Fucking hell, it might even be a bit of a different story if he was like "well, I'm a dumbass, sorry." Nah, it's US with our different definitions that's the problem.

    I mean, everybody’s got a different – but I’m not getting into definitions,

  • Any person required under this title to pay any estimated tax or tax, or required by this title or by regulations made under authority thereof to make a return, keep any records, or supply any information, who willfully fails to pay such estimated tax or tax, make such return, keep such records, or supply such information, at the time or times required by law or regulations, shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $25,000 ($100,000 in the case of a corporation), or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both, together with the costs of prosecution. In the case of any person with respect to whom there is a failure to pay any estimated tax, this section shall not apply to such person with respect to such failure if there is no addition to tax under section 6654 or 6655 with respect to such failure. In the case of a willful violation of any provision of section 6050I, the first sentence of this section shall be applied by substituting “felony” for “misdemeanor” and “5 years” for “1 year”.

    — 26 USC § 7203 (Title 26 : Taxes, Subtitle F : Administration and Procedures, Chapter 75/Subchapter A : CRIMES, Part I : General Provisions, Willful failure to file return, supply information, or pay tax)

    Nope. Not seeing death penalty anywhere in there.

  • Ah yes. The exact kind of action I would expect from someone who has measured responses like "Zuck is a cuck".

    Use a platform ran by a five year-old, expect five year-old behavior.

  • Yes. Twitter was at one point tagging links to Mastodon as "potentially harmful" and removing them.

    But the one thing that's been shown consistent about Mr. Musk's ownership of Twitter is that it is consistently self-contradicting. So as Twitter positions itself as "free speech absolutist" one can rest assured that the reality will be "self-contradicting".

    Let us not forget that time that Musk said that "Elon Jet Tracker" would not be banned WHILE it was indeed banned. Literally tweeting verifiably false information and then subsequently being called out on it, only for Musk to do the traditional "ignore and move on".

  • HAVE YOU EVER WRITTEN AN INTERRUPT ROUTINE!!?
