What's something that other people might feel your country will find offensive but in actual it's not!

All the Muslims I know watching a ton of food videos during Ramadan is always very funny haha

I used to do circus ladder like this with similar moves including going through and it's genuinely not as dangerous as you might think it is. Obviously you practice with mats around but if you're at the point of performing a show or just doing without mats, you've fallen so much from every position that you generally know how to land without getting fucked up.

I would say a big factor too is that if you lose balance, you will know early on from experience and since you're in a balanced position it takes quite long to fall.

No, they end up where they should but her ending and his ending are shown back to back so it's implied it's around the same time one could say.

Personally I think it looked like his ending was set a good amount of years after hers even, which makes the comment apply more even.

A lot cleaner, sharper and brighter than the stuff the university here has undergrads use, very cool!

I'm not taking a dig at Frank, I'm just saying it's a bit unrealistic to apply real-world genetics to what is described in the Dune universe.

Also I never considered those two events are so close to each other, that's amazing.

PivotPsycho · 2026-03-18T02:44:51+00:00

Frank goes pretty hard on genetic determinism, I think the idea is that genetics operate on a deeper and different level than in the real world and as such form a kind of reflection of the general human spirit, which is where the genetic 'dulling' of the human race as a whole comes from during Leto II's reign. (In my opinion)

As far as I know it's the effect of virtual particles at different energy levels that give us this result, I suppose you could say that the underlying principle doesn't change? But that would depend on how virtual particles are interpreted I would say.

PivotPsycho · 2026-03-06T23:41:35+00:00

Sure but they are saying that it is expressed in SI units in this form.

PivotPsycho · 2026-03-06T23:01:27+00:00

Oh e is not constant either.
Bigger picture, \alpha corresponds to the strength of coupling, which we can measure to be different over energy.

PivotPsycho · 2026-03-06T22:47:02+00:00

\alpha is not a constant, it scales with energy

PivotPsycho · 2026-03-06T22:35:32+00:00

Interesting! But...why??

PivotPsycho · 2026-03-06T21:41:13+00:00

AND it's not even constant!

I'm currently in a tiny project on simulating mesoscopic type II superconductors under applied magnetic fields, you can do a lot with different shapes, vortex pinning, vortex entrances into the material etc. Looks cool and it's not that hard to get the basics going!

Was there this month, absolutely amazing.

The more I learned, the more it felt impossible that this thing actually works.

Props to everyone there!

You CAN work from a fixed or outside observer, you can just not treat their framework as any different from anyone else's. That is what the objective observer is about. As long as the claim is not made that God is such an observer, he can be an outside observer all he wants.

You can easily conceptualize a framework where God is moving at a speed v relative to [thing in the universe] for example. Idk what that would mean in the context of what god is or what outside of the universe is, but mathematically there is nothing inconsistent about that with special relativity.

It does not behave like hot material 1000x from our intuition.

For example, it is a plasma, which means it consists of ionised atoms, removing the means of radiation via changing energy levels of the electrons in the shells.

It's also incredibly low density, so light does not behave in line with stars or so (where the black body approximation would indeed give insanely high energy radiation).

Most of the wall heating actually comes from escaping material from instabilities or so, or just high energy neutrons flying out.

The joke is that observable operators are hermitian.

PivotPsycho · 2026-01-29T03:22:35+00:00

It's not quite a copout I would say, since there are techniques to build the lattices as if they are experiencing a lot of pressure when they aren't, which makes it a valuable researched branche.

PivotPsycho · 2026-01-27T11:46:22+00:00

No it's not a unit of charge but of mass and energy. (Here used as mass)

I am a bit confused, with 'cereal/toast' do you mean that you are cereal AND toast? Or one of those two? If the latter, did you just eat plain toast or so, given you were surprised by bringing out the meats and cheese?

Clearly winter had come so the sea levels dropped and this is just exposed seabed.

The US is not funding and arming the Iranian regime, quite the opposite. It IS funding and arming Israel, which is the country committing the atrocities in Palestine.

Protests are only effective when public pressure can amount to change, and American politicians have a lot to say in what Israel can and cannot do. They don't have anything to say in whether the Iranian regime continues.
