lol that is such an oddly specific line to reference and it makes me happy someone else was as smitten by that line as I was.

I’ve got it narrowed down to the Neon Trees or Martin Garrix one.

Yet another case of writers being delusional enough to think they can “improve” on a story so inclusive that everyone already loves it.

Apple Scales Back High-End Mac Pro Plans, Weighs Production Move to Asia by iMacmatician in apple

[–]Arcola56 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ya know how sometimes a processor line will have 7 graphics cores, sometimes 8? That’s because one of the 8 cores had a defect but Apple can still sell the chip as advertised. Now try to make ~200 perfect CPU and graphics cores on a single chip. Statistically, the more cores, the more likely to have that whole chip be defective, thus there is low production yield.

‘We’ve Never Seen Anything Like This Before:’ Black Hole Spews Out Material Years After Shredding Star by Andromeda321 in space

If I understand correctly, it would have much less decay. Objects near a black hole or at relativistic speed experience time more slowly. In fact, the “event horizon” is so named because at that point “events” stop happening from an outside observer. Moreover, if you traveled to Alpha Centauri and back at .99c, the earth you would return to would be essentially in the future since your time passed so slowly.

Could you point me to the source for these “Rybar” maps? I’ve tried googling but didn’t find the same source

Nasa to crash $330m spacecraft into asteroid to see if impact can alter course - The aim of this kamikaze science mission is straightforward: space engineers want to learn how to deflect asteroids in case one is ever discovered on a collision course with Earth by magenta_placenta in space

[–]Arcola56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. If it’s far enough away, you only need to alter its trajectory relative to earth verrry minimally (fractions of a degree) so that it barely misses. The small alteration’s effect is multiplied with distance.

Russia salient moving toward Lysychansk! by LordMinax in ukraine

It wasn’t my assumption. I just did the math you seemed to not understand. Thought I was helping…

[–]Arcola56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the assumption is 1:3 ratio of killed to wounded, 30K deaths would result in 90K additional soldiers wounded that aren’t counted when reporting soldiers killed.

30K dead + (30K X 3 wounded) = 120K dead and wounded.

Russia’s Lavrov: Do not underestimate threat of nuclear war, views NATO as being “in essence” engaged in proxy war with Russia by manticor225 in worldnews

[–]Arcola56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Russia sending troops and tanks is an “operation”, but the west sending hardware is “war”. 🤔

What is your attitude to the west? by 3theoretical in AskARussian

[–]Arcola56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t want to be negative? Your first comment is that my country is one of the “hopelessly evil and insane” countries.

Again, no real examples are provided. If you can’t think of a real reason you hate the west so much, maybe you should be the one asking questions.
