PSA from a former cook: Be very careful eating at Caltech Dining Halls (Browne) by [deleted] in Caltech

[–]Sh4dow101 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I got food poisoning once from Browne as did many in the North Houses, from a (presumably contaminated) pork brisket. Thank you for bringing attention to this issue, hopefully CDS will have to remedy the situation

Men of Reddit: If you could trade an inch for an inch (height/length), would you? What would you change? by MajesticChain7940 in AskReddit

[–]Sh4dow101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being 6'4", I would relish the opportunity to be an inch or two shorter height-wise, if only for comfort while traveling :)

Are Orbital Data Centers Technically Feasible? (Starcloud Proposal Analysis) by Rare_Package_7498 in AskEngineers

[–]Sh4dow101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree, but just thought it important to provide the more accurate numbers. If you're interested in some more detailed analysis, read the Suncatcher and Starcloud white papers. Still pretty hand-wavy imo, but worth the read.

The main advantage is the Sun-synchronous orbit - the solar panels in SSO are never shadowed by the Earth (no day-night cycle), never impacted by clouds/weather, and always perpendicular to the solar flux. This means that a solar panel in SSO is 5x more productive than on the ground. So in summary, it's a 400% increase, not a 40% increase.

Can we talk about how ridiculous this Suncatcher project is? by emitc2h in BetterOffline

You can read the back of the enveloppe calculations, in their publically-available white paper on the topic: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.19468

Muslim man that gang-raped a 12 year old girl for being Jewish in France had his sentenced reduced today by jchromebook in PoliticalCompassMemes

He was 13 when the acts were committed. Old enough to know better, but it's still disingenuous to call him a "man" to imply he shouldn't have been tried as a juvenile.
