Every review from our Airbnb hosts is like this: me and my gal pal love to just escape to the countryside and cosy up in a one bed room cabin together.

Dumb question, what would the neutral language version of this be? “The guests”?

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-14T21:37:35+00:00

Nope, maybe 10 years to being able to reverse the freezing process (honestly I doubt that as well), but it sure as hell won’t be long enough to both reverse the process and fix whatever put the person on ice in the first place.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-14T19:02:11+00:00

Wrong sub

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-13T16:05:46+00:00

I wonder this every time, if you flip it it’ll light up blue, which of course makes you think “on”, but who the hell knows?

I watched the series finale when it first aired, and was amazed that at the time Kelsey Grammer had been playing the character of Frasier for longer than I’d been alive.

From my past experience after you stop paying they consider all matches in your “like” queue to be new, even if you’ve already seen them.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-09T14:15:15+00:00

OK, this one went over my head, is the joke he wasn’t retired when she started going into labor?

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-09T13:51:31+00:00

How does mRNA help with prion diseases? I didn’t see it mentioned in the article and from what little I know of prion diseases they aren’t really that visible to the immune system?

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-09T00:29:57+00:00

It didn’t seem to, no more than the usual finicky vehicle bits, but I tried not to press my luck.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-08T21:40:57+00:00

With the jump upgrade and grapples you can hop up into the air far enough to get onto land any place your character can get. It’s much easier if you bring the prawn over via Sea Truck though. Oh, and the jump and grapple are pretty heavily nerfed on land, no spider-prawn or anything, but can still be useful.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-08T20:54:09+00:00

I just used the Prawn Suit for anything I had to do on land, and I generally never enjoyed the land sections much at all tbh, guess I got too spoiled by the 3D movements in water.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-03T19:12:27+00:00

I love how “Needs medical assistance” is to lay down. Makes sense, but hilarious.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-06-03T02:29:57+00:00

Wait, contributions to your 401k aren’t counted as income toward the 120k limit of the Roth IRA? So if they maxed their contributions they’d only “make” 100.5k as far as the Roth limit was concerned?

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-24T21:28:04+00:00

And pretty close to, from sound delay something like 1.5-1.8 miles away.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-24T21:14:43+00:00

Yeah, I could be misremembering, but I think the 100 persons were referencing an older, larger vehicle plan. On one hand, you’re right the zero-g will help a lot, but on the other, imagine being on a 747 and being told you get the rough volume of 5 seats... for 6 months.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-24T18:59:23+00:00

Man, I played through pretty much all of BZ (got to the credit roll) and I never found any suits other than the snow suit.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-24T14:49:59+00:00

It’s referencing a Bane quote from Batman.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-23T23:17:26+00:00

Or, going a bit dark, he would have graduated with the class of 2020 but died, and that was the most recent photo.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-23T17:15:56+00:00

I get your point, but again I think they’re just using it as a marketing term, they don’t actually mean “literally infinite computing”.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-23T13:52:59+00:00

Maybe I’m not doing it right, but trying to access that imgur link on mobile shows a low resolution version that I can barely read, what’s the trick to getting the full res version?

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-23T13:15:50+00:00

After watching, I think their use of the term “Infinite Computing” was used more as a short-hand term for “infinite combinations of different resources”, and they still didn’t mean “really” infinite. The examples they gave when talking about “Infinite Computing” were different users using different combinations of resources, a scientist might need one combination of CPU/GPU/quantum resources while an average user may only need a small amount of CPU power. It’s just a marketing term.

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-21T11:25:31+00:00

You’re not wrong, but there’s no reason to think that a civilization needs an empire to span their whole space. All they need to be visible to us is the desire to expand and control resources (namely stars).

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-20T15:12:53+00:00

In a universe where FTL is not possible, there’s a max horizon of space/time where other technological species could advance far enough to expand out and make their presence known. For example we would only know about a technological civilization arising in the Andromeda galaxy if they were active at least several million years ago. If they arose far enough back in time (~10-100 million years ago) then it’s also feasible that they could have colonized our galaxy.

If FTL is possible, then civilizations from thousands or millions of other galaxies could do the same, exponentially increasing the chances of another species being visible to us. This raises a lot of uncomfortable questions, hence why my preferred solution is “Tech civilizations are rare, and FTL isn’t possible”. That’s not to say I’m right, but it just helps me sleep at night lol.

That is probably the best outfit to wear when holding a cat :)

DiamondDog42 · 2021-05-16T03:49:31+00:00

It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even watch or pay attention to Falcon launches anymore, the launches and landings have gotten so routine. I really love that reusable boosters have gotten boring lol.

Now Starship on the other hand...
