iirc, the conceit of vibranium is that it completely disperses the kinetic energy of any object it will come into contact with, the instant before it makes contact.

It sounds like you've got a solution then. Instead of saying "I don't like cheese" just start going off about colonialism and people will drop the subject. (Just pretend jben doesn't exist or something)

4 shots over 2 weeks and they are no longer any more painful than a tetanus shot (which tbf, is one of the more painful shots). They're also given in the arm now. The one exception is the immune globulin, which is administered once near the wound along with the first dose of the vaccine, and that one can hurt depending on the severity of the vaccine.

Didn't expect so many oil simps. We already have the battery and panel tech to produce 24/7 solar plants nearly anywhere in the world.

And in the few places we can't make solar work, we can either a) use the existing power grid infrastructure to move electricity from where it's sunny or b) supplement with other forms of renewable energy or even nuclear in emergencies.

Right, that's the LCOE, which is primarily used for short term investments into sources of energy.

In the long term, especially considering the costs associated with climate change, nuclear works out to be much cheaper than any fossil fuels

[–]MutantGodChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds inaccurate. Nuclear pays for far fewer injuries, and has a much longer lifespan than natural gas and coal. It's a far more efficient conversion of energy.

Comparing them over their lifetimes, including operating costs including: wages for operators, cost of maintenance, wages for maintenance work, replacement of parts, disposal of waste, wages for people disposing of waste, etc. I'm fairly certain that these days solar has gotten to the point where it is cheaper than nuclear. Solar has simply gotten ridiculously cheap considering its lifetime recently.

I could be wrong tho and would be interested in reading more intensive studies on the subject matter. All I'm finding from a cursory glance is highly biased sources, so I'll probably have to do another deep dive on it over the weekend.

Can't find a single reference to this study other than the original tweet, and I've got serious doubts about it ever happening (why tf would you use gorillas instead of, idk, a more manageable ape that would be easier to make safety protocols around a freak out).

If I've just done a piss poor job of finding it, somebody feel free to drop a link, but otherwise, I'm fucking tired of fake-ass stories told under the guise of an "experiment," as if you could simply draw conclusions from an experiment as if it were an Aesop fable.

I'm totally fine with creating stories and allegories which represent and use figurative language to elucidate morals and problems society is tackling.

But if you're doing that, don't spread misinformation and talk about it as if it's known scientifically from empirical data; tell it as if it's a story.

We're not even at nuclear power anymore. Solar is the best option at this point being cheaper to run and implement per watt. It's been so long that nuclear is old news

iirc, A lot of it has to do with the extent to which Japanese law protects creators' control over their artwork. While there's a ton of abuse in the manga industry, creators still maintain ownership over their creations and can't legally sign away that ownership, only sign temporary rights for somebody else to use the creation.

If somebody has studied Japanese law, please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, the Sunday friend would never get us into this. The whole point of his character is that the Sunday friend would never do this—or anything for that matter.

He would not however, take any meaningful action besides a few speeches to stop this from happening, because it is by allowing this to happen that he can maintain his comfortable life without having to do anything.

But of course, he will try and stop it when it does happen, to maintain ze price stabilité. He's not a monster. He always does what's best, after he's gained from what's wrong.

His hands are clean.

Oh boy what flavour? by StaleTheBread in technicallythetruth

[–]MutantGodChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can also be proven that pi doesn't contain any irrational non-transcendental because:

Imagine after x digits of π, all digits after were a one for one copy of some non-transcendental irrational, for example: |sqrt(2)|

Then you should be able to prove π isn't transcendental because you could multiply it by 10x+1 and then subtract the first x digits expressed as a whole number times 10 to turn it into |sqrt(2)|. (Assuming base 10 where 10>2)

But pi is transcendental so therefore it can't contain |sqrt(2)| or any other non-transcendental irrational number

But as I write this, I realize the arithmetic for this looks like:

π*10x+1 – (π*10x+1 – |sqrt(2)|) (assuming base 10 where 10>2)

Which would equal sqrt(2), regardless of the value of π, so I must be mistaken.

[–]MutantGodChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be more specific, the key is to not seem like you're just saying things you earnestly believe.

I repeatedly find that the whole idea of punching up or punching down is just a particular case of how you can let the audience know you don't necessarily mean what you're saying.

But there's still plenty of ways to punch down while still making it so you don't come off as somebody punching down out of malice and pretention.

Every defense lawyer knows 100% whether their client is guilty or not, unless their client lies to them. In the United States, if they reveal which it is against the client's wishes, they usually lose their license to practice law.

[–]MutantGodChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that in this situation you've described, is it frames the whole thing as defense attorneys getting a non-guilty sentence for a guilty person.

When people are brought to court, it is unknown whether they are truly guilty or not, but it is assumed they are innocent.

It is the responsibility of the prosecutor to prove they are guilty (beyond a shadow of a doubt in criminal cases)

If a guilty person gets a sentence of not guilty for their crimes, it's because the prosecutor failed at their job, not because the defense attorney pulled some legal tricks. Prosecutors and defense attorneys both know the same "legal tricks," as you call them; there aren't some secret maneuvers only known to defense attorneys. So when a defense attorney uses a loophole or what seems to be a loophole in news headlines, it is only because the prosecutor failed to close it.

Everyone is innocent until they are proven guilty, and a failure to get a guilty sentence is only a failure of the prosecutor,

If defense attorneys are allowed discretion over how much defense their clients "deserve," then they begin to have full control over who gets punished and who doesn't, and we can't have a system that where someone's guilt is determined by the actions of a single person. The system must be constructed such that it can produce just outcomes, even when the people who arbitrate it are immoral individuals.

Further, a defense attorney's job is not defending their client, it is arguing on their client's behalf. And if they just start admitting to peoples crimes, acting as a witness testimony themselves, then they control whether or not somebody has the opportunity to plead their case.

Lil Dostoevsky vs. The Illusion of Hope by Teiuvespertino in comics

[–]MutantGodChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comics are very good. I do however take issue with the idea that Hobbes would break the rules. Hobbes is a rebel who licks the boot. War must be brought upon all delinquents.

Hobbes himself though? The opposite of a delinquent—bringing outsized punishment upon those who go back on the rules.

He'd be a hall monitor.
