Nice try guy
  • Refuse the call for once. Keeping it ringing won't help you in any way.

    And add the number to some kind of "refuse" list for the time you don't want to receive the calls.

  • At this rate, why not.
  • The majority of the energy comes from nuclear fission

    Yes, from an extremely inefficient fission reaction that can be improved by an order of magnitude by doing it slowly in a reactor.

  • Forced to have "Gulf of America"
  • who will keep the shipping lanes free of piracy?

    You know the US isn't patrolling the shipping lanes they don't use right?

    Also, no, they never managed to keep the shipping lanes free of piracy.

  • At this rate, why not.
  • You either spend a truckload of resources during decades to make a bomb that explodes releasing the same energy humanity spends in two months, or you spend a truckload of resources doing the end task at a slower pace for decades.

    The later is guaranteed to require a smaller truckload.

  • What would happen if USA invades Canada?
  • Keep in mind that Greenland and Canada are both members of NATO, and thus the US would be forced to intervene...

    Oh, well...

    You mean seriously? Who knows? Both sides have nuclear weapons, don't they? This is not something that ever happened. Would the US armed forces go along with the plan or will there be a coup? Will everybody keep their heads leveled and avoid exchange nuclear explosions even with people dying at home / on the front? Will somebody just put a bullet on Trump's head and stop the madness?

    But the thing I can tell is that if you are expecting country lines and military treaties to be immutable, that's not how they work.

  • At this rate, why not.
  • Well, I'm sure controlled slow-paced mining is more energy efficient and will emit less carbon to create...

    But I'm not stopping that guy. Go on. I'll just watch from a safe distance.

  • Was this reply helpful?
  • You know, last time I've reached the MS forum, there was a support person there answering "No, there's no way to disable the Teams pop-up that appears over your shared screen when you mute the microphone. Lots of people ask the same question, and the developers have no plans of changing this".

    The answer was complete, helpful, and completely out of the normal for the forum. The only thing more out of character would be if Teams actually had an option to make it work as any sane person would expect, but then, this is not on the forum people.

  • As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

    I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

    Why do all those US universities have dealings with Israel?

    All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

    Is there some educational or research resource they get?

    What do I do with the !community@instance links?

    The links like !NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world.

    I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world).

    Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

    What is the recommended way to use those?
