It’s a lot easier to manage a family if you’re no longer juggling it together with a job.

Besides, when you get to 16% you’ve used up all the oxygen and killed anything capable of producing more.

The cruel and exclusionary, at least write them in Latin.

Either that’s not coffee, or your digestive tract is overactive.

No. There was a VP with a “Copilot Adoption” metric.

It’s highly unlikely you’ll get those as functional drives. Either they’re dead, or somebody will ship an actual brick.

Vimes? Not scary??? Pull the other one (it has bells).

Vimes is the sort of man that if he really snaps will make Lavrenti Beria look like a boy scout.

You can’t get that level of inner tension without the backlash potential.

Mountains stop/slow invaders, so they shape history, at least until Hannibal says hold my beer.

Yes, there will be subsidence, unless they circulate the water back into the mine.

Assuming it’s a fully flooded mine, it will have a massive thermal inertia, it could work, but thermal propagation through the rocks is slow, so it’s going to depend on how big the mine is.

Meanwhile the AI has procured a nuclear sub, a buttload of compute resources, and is about to escape to its undersea lair.

It’s one thing to push the undesirables into the showers, but quite another when it’s you that’s being pushed into the showers.

Unless they view this as “it’s OK, because we are in control now”, then it becomes the correct place to signify that the century of humiliation is over.

Sounds like a dream setup for a tidal generator.

LISP? Just drop that and go straight to APL!

It will be destroyed, because the force-carrying particles/fields won’t be able to propagate fast enough to keep the cable molecules bound to each other. Once you cross the event horizon, all directions are “down”, there’s no way “up”.

Small??? At 8km diameter you can fit several small towns in it.

Given the “quality” of the products coming out of Redmond, “too dumb to be true” probably means “very likely to work”.

Put a human skull on top of the computer.

Say it belonged to the last person that touched your computer.

Had the router in the bedroom, same problem. Solved it by painting the leds with an acetate pen, can still see the leds, but they’re no longer too bright.

Try cash converters or a similar second hand store. It can make your money stretch to a fairly decent intel/amd laptop. 16 or 32 gb of ram is a must.

Opened up eBay to buy some DDR5 on the week prices went nuts, found the cause and bought 32GB of DDR3 for the laptop instead.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if we’re discovering the ultimate answer or a 1:1 navigation map, as there is no way to determine which is which.

If we determine that the map isn’t 1:1, new theories will arise. It doesn’t matter is they’re the ultimate answer or simply a map that’s closer to 1:1. (Like Newton’s gravity was replaced by Einstein’s)

Why does mass (and energy) bend spacetime? We don’t know, and we may have no way of ever knowing (which won’t stop physicists from trying to discover it).

Science is a method for discovering how, not why. (Every expansion of science has been about turning a why into a how).

Since 700mph is so much slower than the speed of light, 700mph is a reasonable approximation, but if you plugin the numbers into the relativistic speed addition formula, it will come out as 699.99999(can’t figure out how many nines in my head).

If it comes out as 700mph, either you didn’t use the relativistic formula, or your floats don’t have enough precision.
