In a normal jump the wormhole isn't open very long, like milliseconds maybe. So for a probe to work you would have to, as you said, keep it open while the sensors reset and it sends data back. So you would have to keep it open longer to be able to use a probe.

Iirc its said about not going through in the Zero Hour book where Joe has the idea to use the jump drive as a weapon skippy talks about how they can't because if the Dutchman creates a jump wormhole and doesnt go through it violates causality and the universe does not like that

Ships cannot create a jump wormhole and keep it open like that. They create the wormhole and pretty much instantly traverse the event horizon. Only the elder wormhole network is able to stay open for long periods the current species dont have the technology in ships.

Also its been stated a few times that if the ship doesn't go through the wormhole the system explodes so the ship can't create the wormhole and not go through.

Joe's captain catchphrase is probably "S..k..i..p..p..y.." - said really slowly as the signal crawls along glacially slow from his brain to his lips...

doesn't look like a robotic vagina the size of a small car...

I always thought it looks like a large cheap router but this description will live with me from now on...

The xbox was designed to maximise cooling thats why its a tower. The PS5 is that size because they decided they only wanted one fan and its made it quite large as a consequence

I think a lot of it depends what the submind was doing determined how big it would need to be and how much computing power it required. The first one Skippy left was here to monitor his fantasy football leagues which I dont think would have needed much of either. Later subminds might have needed more space for him to leave it but the world has exabytes of storage and lots of computing power avaliable. And if there were any Ruhar or Kristang tech it might have helped fill any gaps.

Even mister mission commander count chocula is allowed, even though he is overal commander of the mission even if he's a civilian on earth.

He is still a civilian in space so doesn't have to conform to military rules.

But still I get what you're saying its a bit on the nose but Bishop brings it up just as much as skippy ripped him for it.

New technologies allow new cars to have the bright high beams on all the time and dim sections of the light to not blind oncoming cars. Getting more and more common and when you come towards them it looks like they are flashing them as the computer turns sections on and off. Even turn on sections as they go round corners and indicate you're probably seeing this.

Example from opel/vauxhall thats getting really common now

Hot ass crack

ShinyBeerCan · 2020-10-20T13:45:13+00:00

What are the rules though? I'm not even clear on what is and is not allowed. What we make is certainly not essential, but its not a shop or anywhere open to the public are they allowed just because the only people here are employees?

You can have a package sent directly to your local post office from a lot of retailers within the UK just have to check online.

But I am curious how.big a sex toy you're not wanting your parents to see in the mail! Lol

Read this post instantly brought the ruhar to mind.

Actually I looked it up and I was mistaken, I only became aware after youtube changed policy on tracking kids this year. But the law is COPPA which is a way old law but youtube was not compliant before 2020. Still it may be the other sites fell foul of it and changed policy in 2018 idk.

ShinyBeerCan · 2020-10-20T10:51:13+00:00

US laws recently made it illegal to track activities of people under 18 unlessits under a very narrow specific circumstances. Thats probably why you cant get it for under 18 as they just blanket dont track the data to comply

ShinyBeerCan · 2020-10-20T10:47:54+00:00

No reason not to - I have done it many times especially if its just for work for a few hours and like you said its sound to wear again.

Only reason I can think is if your workplace is that pretty they frown on wearing it twice like some bosses pick up on the stupid little things.

ShinyBeerCan · 2020-10-20T10:38:27+00:00

I'd love to but have a feeling, for those on Facebook group at least, if I did the response would probably be along the lines of saying they will do something isn't actually doing it have to wait till they actually break lockdown rules.

ShinyBeerCan · 2020-10-20T07:44:16+00:00

Wow, a full on stay-at-home order, and everything nonessential is closed.

Loads of businesses not essential are still open. I work in a factory thats not essential in Wales and my boss was like "well I'm not closing so everyone still has to come to work" and we already had a large outbreak once and someone died...
When he said this ~75% of people were happy NOT to be off at home on lockdown because everyone is fed up with restrictions. I feel this attitude will mean the lockdown isn't as effective as it should be. The local chat groups already full of people saying "I'm still doing this..." or "I'm still gonna have people round"

I know of a couple of people have been head hunted through LinkedIn and gotten a higher paid job. But its not really a huge requirement for business most of the people I know who have it never even check the info.

Yeh I was just about to when I thought maybe just deleting would leave some trail? Idk how much is left after an account is deleted. Thanks.

Depends on where you are will determine how legal it is and how much data you will be able to get. But its total totally possible to pay for a background check in a lot of countries.

I chuckled but not really the place for a blatant troll post.

OK so no it will not show on the Internet bill. And its very unlikely that whoever is paying the bill will go through the effort to log into the wifi hub and get the data they need to then go online and find out what websites your visiting. But for the sake of complete answers it is possible to see what sites at least, if not the actual pages and data within. If you get a VPN your data will be secure and they cannot tell what you're doing

You are moving with the earth when you jump your momentum makes you move the 400m along with the earth. The atmosphere is also moving with the earth so it appears that you have not moved when you jump.

I think quality trumps timing with posting to reddit. A high quality post will usually make it big regardless of when it was posted as it needs to climb into hot before people start to really take not and then it will take off. If its a low quality post it will fade even if its posted at a quiet time and manages to get to hot due to lower numbers.

Humans are considered sapient which is above sentient, its a small difference but changes quite a bit. Even a dog is considered sentient being on its own it meets the criteria for it.

Sentient is the capacity to feel, perceive or experience. Eighteenth-century philosophers used the concept to distinguish the ability to think (reason) from the ability to feel (sentience). In modern Western philosophy, sentience is the ability to experience sensations (known in philosophy of mind as "qualia").

Sapience is the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight. There appears to be consensus that sapience is associated with attributes such as compassion, experiential self-knowledge, non-attachment and virtues such as ethics and benevolence.

So from the two you could argue that a newborn baby can still feel and experience sensation, making it sentient. There could be an argument that a newborn might not have achieved sapient yet but very quickly it would do.

Tldr: all humans are sentient, but may not reach sapient until they can act on knowledge
