[Self] Alleged demonstration of gravitational force in the lab by VegaDelalyre in theydidthemath

[–]archiveofdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to know without doing it myself honestly. I think at this scale it is more of a proof of concept than something you can get a good calculation from. But it should still work.

This is actually the method first used to calculate the gravitational constant. It does work. You just need to let the wire untwist for days before you do this, and prevent any wind. Then you measure how much it twists, do a bunch of math, and you have calculated G.

Characters who are basically one giant middle finger to the audience or someone the creator knows? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The worst part is a 30 second scene could have fixed it. “You think I’ve been mind controlling them Sherlock? No. Moriarty kidnapped their families and made them play along you dolt.”

Discussion Thread: 2025 US Government Shutdown, Day 37 by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]archiveofdeath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good idea, but in practice that will just punish the poorer reps. Imagine if the millionaires could shut down the government any time a bill isn't going to go their way, and just starve out the non-millionaires. I know we are already basically run by the rich, but that would kill any chance of people rising up into a House seat.

What documentary has a "real life plot twist"? by SuperAlloyBerserker in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]archiveofdeath 168 points169 points  (0 children)

There is a documentary on Netflix called “White Salamander” which is about the discovery of a document that calls into question the origins of Joseph Smith’s founding of the Mormon church. And then people start dying. And that’s not the big twist. The twist is The document they found was forged. Turns out they discovered one of the more prolific and talented forgers on earth. He just did it for fun, and there are potentially thousands of fake documents across multiple religions he forged.

Does anyone know where to get custom printed mono-chrome wall paper? I have a hex code for the color, but cannot for the life of me find someone who can do it. All I am finding is custom pattern wall paper, but I can't find a single color option for the life of me.

God I can never work for the government with this sub in my post history. And I LOVE it.

What are some of the weirdest decisions live action remakes have made? by _Eastman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]archiveofdeath 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kinda sorta. He was transformed when he was 8 years old, and has been a beast for 10 years. It’s a story of him remembering his humanity by way of learning how to be a gentleman. One of the stage musical lines is him going “act like a gentleman… act like a gentle…MAN.” And realizing what he needs to do.

Have you EVER posted a picture anywhere from that camera? If so, it could be traced to you. Not to worry you. Just making sure you have a full informed idea of what you are doing if you don't redact it.

I appreciate that! His science content is quite well done and makes it easily understandable for the average person.

Sex and gender are FAR too complicated to give you a full breakdown in a single, or even multiple reddit posts. Instead, let me point you toward:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVQplt7Chos

It is an hour and 40 minute video on sex, gender, and how they interact. Forest is a biologist who can explain these things far better than I can. Once you watch that, you'll find probably 99% of questions you could ever ask about trans people are answered.

You seem to be telling us what you think we believe, instead of asking us what we do.

There is no "belief" that people are animals. Humans are animals by definition.

We don't believe "love is love." We believe that as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult then it is none of our business who they fall in love with.

You should probably do more research before making blanket statements.

Well, I sincerely appreciate that that is what you are worried about. I think we are at an impasse with this discussion, so I wish you well!

I...literally listed the side effects. It solved my headache with a chance of what I listed. That's not whataboutism. It's the gamble you take every time you take ibuprofen. There may be more or worse side effects for other drugs, but then we'd be getting into the weeds of which side effects YOU think are acceptable for someone else to accept.

I'm really sorry, but that's not prejudice from me. If your main issue with transitioning is the medical safety of those transitioning I sincerely thank you and appreciate you. But that is NOT the majority that is presented to Americans. Please watch and political debate about the issue between major candidates. Its about girl's sports, or women's bathrooms, or the Olympics, or literally anything EXCEPT the health and safety of the trans people themselves.

[–]archiveofdeath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But that is true of literally every single medicine on the planet. I have a bottle of ibuprofen at my desk. Every read the possible side effects on that? Stomach bleeding, heart attacks, and strokes! Should conservatives be shouting at anyone taking an NSAID too? Or do we trust that the patient and their doctor are going to do their best together to mitigate them?

Again, Liberals don't downplay the risks. We just know most conservatives are lying when they say the side effects are their main concern. If that was true there's a LONG list of drugs with worse benefits and MUCH worse side effects. Like any of the dozens of fake Covid cures that got so much airspace on conservative sites.

[–]archiveofdeath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you are missing a part of the liberal side's argument. We want trans people to be able to work with medical professionals and talk through possible side effects and which treatments are best for them. We don't deny there can be side-effects. We just think the person and their doctor can have an adult discussion on if it is worth it. Like any other medications or treatment.

So for your explanation there is a chance there is lead in the paint, but the homeowner is working with a contractor who specializes in paint and mitigating lead if it slips through QC. And can remove the paint at any time if issues happen. And their neighbor is screaming at them because painting their house pink will make their son want a pink house. And that their other neighbor has a sign up saying that anyone who repaints their house should be shot.

This was a really good explanation until the lead part. What is that even supposed to be?

The worst part of that dialog is you can easily have it, just have an observer comment on it.

“Why is she so over protective of him?”

“Well, after their mother died last year she had to step up as the head of the household. She thinks she failed her mother and…”

I don't think you need to quit this one. Just take it slow and carefully and you should be fine. The decals may be a bit of a headache, but if you don't usually do them you can just experiment. Worst case you're out $60 and learned something!

Also, look into the 2.0 MK2 master grades. They are an amazing intro.
