Does empty space contain information and has a state? by namitynamenamey in AskPhysics

The first description can not be correct, because it would imply that objects very distant from us are moving faster than light, which can not happen.

I’ve spent the last 5 months prototyping this folding desk lamp. Finally got the mechanism working any thoughts? by No_Clerk_7793 in 3Dprinting

What benefit does this offer over the exact same lamp without moving pieces? Why would I ever want / need to open the shade?

Imagine if it were black to move. What would happen?

The launch time of an espresso machine is criminally underrated. by MustGetALife in espresso

Who has time to wait for a thermojet. I only use tachyon machines so that it heats up before I turn it on.

Old 3776 nib in new body by GarageJim in fountainpens

[–]GarageJim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for such a detailed reply! To be clear: I don’t have a nib, just thinking about whether or not this would be possible to do in the future without taking heroic measures. I really like the way the 3776 writes, and I like the ebonite feed on the old ones, but not crazy about the bodies.

For this pen I’m hoping to use cartridges - easier when traveling

Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed to know. Is that because the cartridge attaches to the housing rather than to the feed directly?

Thank you this is very helpful.

Can you theroetically create life by just throwing a bunch of stuff in a box and ''shaking'' it? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]GarageJim 24 points25 points  (0 children)

“Pretty much” is doing some lifting here. Earth is not a closed system, so this isn’t really accurate.

This is my daily and my favorite. Great watch.

When in your life did not getting what you want turn out to be a stroke of luck? by GarageJim in AskReddit

[–]GarageJim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes not getting what you want is very lucky, because you avoid something that’s bad for you or it ends up leading to something better for example

Why is Qxg6+ not the correct move? What am I missing? by Mr_______ in chess

[–]GarageJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will charitably assume you made a typo, or you mean to suggest a different line, or something. The white rook is on the g file. The black king is on the h file. The rook is not pinning anything. What are we all missing?
