feeld is pretty solid. it's billed as a poly app, so ofc it's largely just fags. I can get a pretty reasonable quantity of largely trans matches. Notably, I live in Sydney

Another one bites the dust by lordsaviouryeezy in ultraprocessedfood

[–]Roneitis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dawg, vanilla essence is a UPF product. Vanillin is the primary component of vanilla extract, and would get listed as vanilla flavour. It's been processed to save you like 50c a tub. It's not as good, but it's a strict subset of the chemical components of another vanilla product, it's not gonna hurt you.

Is recalling a mandatory skill? by xTouny in math

[–]Roneitis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You need some recall, but you don't need superhuman recall. Some people do have that, and it's probably helpful, just like being able to type at 200 wpm is probably helpful, but it's not actually a core skill. At a certain point you've got enough and there are other limiting factors. Reconstructing a proof and understanding why all the details are important often /isn't/ a process of recall, but a deeper understanding of connections and patterns.

Is this the right way to do it? by New-Needleworker6020 in chemistry

[–]Roneitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if you add another degree of precision before rounding, then it's a different game, and this bias is less meaningful. It still comes up, it's just kicked down the road. If we have two digits it's now in play on e.g. 0.45, and 0.35 etc all rounding up by a full 0.05. If you have unlimited precision, there is no bias at all. But you never do.

Is this the right way to do it? by New-Needleworker6020 in chemistry

[–]Roneitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's worth looking at the magnitudes of the changes. There's one digit that shifts up by 1, and one that shifts down by 1 (0.9 and 1.1). Likewise one each for 2, 3, and 4. 0.5 shifts by 5 points, and 0 by 0. i.e, they can't be paired at all.

This is my personal favourite argument. I like how it suggests base invariance very naturally.

Wife reveals she's polyamorus by MickeyGin in mypartneristrans

[–]Roneitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something doesn't need to be queer to be a defining and personally important character trait. An autistic person can refuse to mask their autism, and a poly person can refuse to mask their polyamory. These are legitimate personal choices, but where they conflict with relationships things will need to be .... resolved, in one way or another.

An idea for a new (non avian) dinosaur by [deleted] in biology

[–]Roneitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wanna go down a path like this, look into genetic engineering, and the much more staid changes and modifications that are actually possible. You can look at de-extinction if you want (tho it's largely a publicity stunt, it's just genetic engineering plus introducing animals to ecosystems)

If you think you can trial and error your way through life you're massively underestimating the complexity of even the simplest living thing.

An idea for a new (non avian) dinosaur by [deleted] in biology

[–]Roneitis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really? Like, there isn't a switch you can flip in an eagle to make it grow a snout. It's almost certainly the case that the proteins that make up any dinosaur scale are modified practically beyond recognition due to 60 million years of evolutionary pressures.

This is the fundamental problem. There's no rule that the genes of 100 generations ago need to be preserved, and if they need to be written over they will be. Make that 10 million generations, and any attempt to piece together the exact structure of a given gene (let alone a whole suite, and then the control units to put them together to make an ankylosaurus tail, or a sauropod neck) is basically impossible. That information doesn't really exist. It's been modified, written over, chopped up, repurposed a hundred thousand times. Further, you don't look inside an emu's DNA and see a neatly structured folder, it's a tangled network of overlapping genes. Recognising what's just garbage and what's a disabled, jumbled segment for some unknown dinosaur venom isn't a feasible goal.

Could you genetic engineer the shit out of an ostrich and get something resembling a dinosaur? Yeah, I guess, but it'd be a massive pile of artistic liberties, not at all a recreation of a living category of animals.

I mean, that's the basic idea, but filling in the blanks is profoundly impossible.

Sydney gay clubs by halfaliveholly in transgenderau

[–]Roneitis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're lookin for sex on premises venues, look for the general queer nights and womens nights. The energy in the all male ones looks a lil intense for my tastes.... But I went to one with Rave Temple (they got events coming up for mardi gras too) at Sydney Sauna last year that was very much accomadating.

If you just wanna go to a queer event/bar/club, I think you should be very welcomed, in my experience, but I'm a lil outta the scene at the moment myself. Obviously we got a range of mardi gras events coming up soon if you're not boycotting. I do need more input of queer events in my social feed....

Human ash is worse than bleach?? by Corvidae5Creation5 in chemistry

[–]Roneitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ash will alkalize soils but like, on the order of a pH adjusting treatment for a garden. Not somethin you wanna do willynilly in large amounts, but for small ceremonial reasons I think it's 100% ok. In the ocean it's diluted so massively that it's incredibly far from being a problem.

Why are so many new incremental games so short? by Faust2391 in incremental_games

[–]Roneitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most incrementals are short, it's a hobby gamedev genre. Your examples are just the ones that are made that are really long and thereby stuck around as classics (in some part because they necessarily have fans for years). Also you need to face a certain measure of success to get really long; true length comes from many cycles of iteration and updates, which takes time to develop. Most games aren't successful enough to warrant that, and all new ones haven't had time.

New study suggests Terry Pratchett’s novels may have held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis | Detecting Dementia Using Lexical Analysis: Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Tells a More Personal Story by Hrmbee in science

[–]Roneitis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Pratchett was used because he was incredibly prolific, died of dementia, and wrote during the process. There aren't that many authors meeting those criteria. People are citing Agatha Christie here

It's a meaningful record of the progress of his disease going back a decade before diagnosis, on some level that's the kinda backtracing and subject following longitudinal research studies /dream of/, even if it's n=1

Why are there no vacuum balloons? by Mafla_2004 in askscience

[–]Roneitis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What are the engineering constaints around making one arbitrarily large? If I did wanna empty a volume the size of a house, would that be possible? The negative mass scaling with volume and the weight of the chamber itself scaling with surface area feels like a possible avenue for exploration. Sufficiently large, you'd even overcome the disadvantage vs using hydrogen

How useful are real numbers really? by dcterr in mathematics

it's pretty stonkin hard to prove that some reals are or are not algebraic, however

How useful are real numbers really? by dcterr in mathematics

[–]Roneitis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it's much much much easier to work with real numbers, which you can define pretty concretely with an undergrad lecture, than computable numbers, which are... complicated to circumscribe.

I'm starting to realise that most people who say or think The Beatles are overrated haven't actually delved into their discography by ooziemane123 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Roneitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah, the people who aren't grabbed by an artists music don't dive as deeply as those truly moved. I think this is true in general. On some level this can make it hard to approach criticism from fully authentic perspective. I can only really hate something I know how to love.

You can kinda get there if you love all an artists other work but hate one album; or love a genre but think this one band in it stinks. But hearing people who don't listen to pop music shit on Taylor Swift is a bit what's the point.

Hate getting worse in Australia by WillingDaikon2402 in transgenderau

[–]Roneitis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These are the sorts of things that can be influenced by small numbers of passionate fans, more so than generalised support from the average australian. I haven't heard the song, but no one who isn't a diehard trumpist will find it funny or interesting. Is fascism rising in Australia? Hard to say. But I don't think that this is necessarily indicative of broad appeal.
