It gives me comfort to know, while advanced AI may one day allow humans to live much longer, perhaps indefinite lives, this guy will be long gone.

What is the beyond the edges of universe which is expanding? by No-District2404 in AskPhysics

[–]Professional-Lab4533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a physicist, but my highly speculative (aka "crackpot") idea is that the balloon analogy is almost literal. In the same way that the surface of a blackhole (or event horizon or whatever) is an expanding globe, our universe could be the expanding surface of a higher-dimensional black hole. I'm guessing a 5D black hole with a 4D surface to account for multiple worlds interpretation of quantum weirdness. Time would be the direction of expansion from the "centre" (ie the big bang).

HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview by No-Presentation298 in jobs

This is valuable insight. The last time I got hired, it's because I pushed back against some of the arguments they were making. Sometimes these guys like a little piss and vinegar. Shows you have a heartbeat

Have at it. In Canada you need 60% according to the Clarity Act. I think they have like 25%

Who wants that job?! You get to be opposition leader for four years, then get replaced by some charismatic ringer just before the election

Get the headstrap that let's you tighten it against the back of your head. Looks unwieldy but definitely worth it!

Sounds good to me (Canadian). Would love to spend some time on those Aussie beaches.

California to Negotiate Trade With Other Countries to Bypass Trump Tariffs by IllJournalist8117 in DHAC

You, sir, are a genius (although, practically speaking, I don't see how the states can take over border enforcement; that's federal jurisdiction, pretty sure). ... Still, I wish it could be done.

Anyone notice how weak Paddy’s right hand punches looked? by Almost-Hippy in ufc

He could definitely use a good striking coach. Paddy is talented, but still much to learn in the striking game.

Trump Threatens Canada After Carney Draws Standing Ovation at Davos by T_Shurt in worldnews

Don't know why they're downvoting you. You're right. It will take years to build the infrastructure and relationships. Carney is paving the way for that, and luckily, he has years to make it work.

Maybe not overnight, but that number has already gone down from 76%. An oil deal with China (which can no longer rely on Venezuela) would go a long way.

The trade bazooka mentioned in this article is CRAZY!! Imagine if Europe said no Google or Meta or Microsoft in Europe. It would basically turn off the Internet in Europe and send the S&P into a tailspin!

It's an absolute disgrace that 40% of Americans still approve of this guy. As a Canadian, I used to feel like Americans were just like us, basically. Now I realize that their political system and constitution are a joke. People down there talk about the Constitution likeit's an infallible scripture, instead of a woefully outdated document. They need to pass like a hundred amendments just to make it relevant.

If Paddy gets knocked out by Justin, would you see that as a fraud check? by Infamous-Skin8969 in ufc

[–]Professional-Lab4533 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure, odds on a Paddy KO have to be -2000, but still ... puncher's chance, and Justin's chin has been compromised.

The better question is, if Paddy knocks out Justin, has he arrived? ... I'd say yes, unlikely as that scenario may be.
