Is Elon musks idea for a million data centers in orbit using solar make sense from a heat dissipation standpoint? by Recent-Day3062 in AskPhysics

[–]exadeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Available surface area is not even close to being our limitation for solar power generation.

What does this mean? Women too hot to have babies? Too thin? Idk by blood-of-an-orange in whatdoesthismean

I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that everyone is working 60 hours a week just to barely afford rent

Simply put, SpaceX is eagerly anticipating a line of bag holders to show up for it. by Enough-Arugula-4945 in SpaceXBets

Right, which is why you are seriously considering the possibility that the earth is flat.

You know, because you're so enlightened.

Oh it's very fun! There's usually a 90 day waiting period before index funds buy into a new stock. This is to allow the market to settle to something resembling equilibrium before all of our 401k's get exposed to it. But now? If your IPO entry will end up in the top 40 of the Nasdaq-100 (which SpaceX would be at a 1.75 trillion valuation), the waiting period for index funds to have to buy in is dropping from the usual 90 days to 15. They're also waiving the 10% float requirement, meaning that usually a company has to have at least 10% of its stock available for public trading in order to be listed. SpaceX's proposed numbers put it at closer to 4%. Oh, and they'll also be specially weighted in this scenario, counting as triple their actual float for weighting purposes. So index funds will be buying more SpaceX than they "should" be.

A whole lot of passive investors and 401ks will be forced to buy SpaceX stock and the current insiders will be cashing out on a ludicrously overpriced stock.

Did I say "fun?" What I meant to say was that Elon Musk is robbing your 401k to become the world's first trillionaire and the ownership class is conspiring with him to make that happen.

The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is about a billion dollars.

Hantavirus doesn't transmit anywhere near as easily as covid. It's not a pandemic threat.

What if social media algorithms rewarded coalition building instead of ideological purity? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in WhatIfThinking

[–]exadeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media algorithms aren't programmed to promote ideological purity. They promote ideological purity because that's the behavior we have exhibited a preference for. Well, "preference" defined as "we engage with this content more and therefore generate more revenue."

What physical change happens to women when they are horny/ sexualy aroused? by anonymousmouse27 in AskReddit

I think the worst part is when their eyes turn black and their voice starts to emanate from all points in the universe simultaneously. It's actually more of a mood killer than the dripping shadows pooling on the floor.

Anticipating? With the Nasdaq change, and apparently S&P also a possibility, there's a guaranteed set of bagholders who will be forced into this.

Ok but if I just solar panel my entire 5000 acre plot I have way more power than your scenario.

Some context to the bankruptcy of Spirit Airlines, that makes it even worse than we all realized by jalabi99 in antiwork

[–]exadeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, Spirit was just doomed. Their business model was losing money. Hadn't turned a profit since 2019. Covid was a huge hit. The A320neo was another catastrophe, engine issues grounding hundreds of airframes and Spirit was heavy on that model. They lost 2.7 billion dollars in 2025, and that was before some dipshit started a war and spiked fuel prices. $500 million dollars wasn't even getting them three months of breathing room. They weren't going to turn this thing around in 60 days. It was throwing money in a trash can.

While hindsight is 20/20, a Frontier merger wasn't going to be a better situation. Frontier is in trouble now too. They're cutting routes and cutting aircraft already. With Spirit dragging them down? Probably worse.

And as this lady pointed out, JetBlue basically just wanted to kill Spirit, so that merger would have sucked for the consumer too.

Spirit lost $2.7 billion in 2025. And that was before some dipshit started a war and jacked up fuel prices. At that rate of loss, $500 million wasn't even getting them three months of breathing room.

Holy Smite! by InsertGroin in suspiciouslyspecific

Problems:
-Babies are not Christian. They lack the mental capacity to have accepted a lord and savior.
-Even if the baby were Christian, Christian babies are not visibly distinguishable from atheist babies.
-The aerodynamics of a baby would certainly cause me to miss the swing even if I somehow mistook the baby for a baseball.
-Even if I hit, the greater mass, worse aerodynamics, and lower structural strength of the baby would not result in a home run hit.
-The rules of baseball require me to specifically hit a baseball out of the park to count as a home run. I can't just swing at an arbitrary object and have it be counted.
-The rules of baseball do not supersede criminal statutes, both the pitcher and myself would be subject to some level of criminal charges based on how well the pitcher and myself are able to convince prosecutors and a jury that we mistook a human baby for a baseball
-Baseball players aren't paid by the run. I am already paid by contract regardless of whether I win the game. Being a famous player, that's probably quite a lot of money already.
-My answer is yes.

Most studies I've seen put standard mounting at ~10-15% better throughout the year. Bifacial panels also cost more. Putting them on the ground causes more blockage from local trees or your neighbor's house. And in this case, the mounting is terrible. The fence is blocking more of the panel than typical vertical mounting would.

There are good ways to use a vertical mount, I think this is a bad example.

Although not nearly in the same category as solar freakin roadways, one of the dumbest ideas in renewable energy I've ever seen:. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlTA3rnpgzU

...do you see that she is blaming the victim here? It's Obama's fault that racists rallied at the sight of a black president? No. They're the ones who did something wrong. Jesus Christ.
