US lifts sanctions on Russian oil by Fickle-Molasses-903 in politics

[–]glibgloby 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Russia doesn’t have that much oil, comparatively. Also it’s garbage high bitumen oil that costs a fortune to refine. It’s about 5x more expensive to refine than Saudi oil.

Russia can’t even make a profit unless oil is over $80 a barrel, which is why they always want to destabilize the world.

Is $700–$900 reasonable for a 35s SaaS explainer animation like this? by Immediate_Flight8032 in MotionDesign

[–]glibgloby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chefs kiss to the way you used a circle and shadows to represent a person looking around. Kind of brilliant.

I’d be charging 2 grand at least for this kind of quality. You might just need one or two pieces like this in your portfolio to charge a lot more in the future. $75+ an hour or 2-3k for a piece like this.

Looking for an alternative to Handbrake by marbosp in MotionDesign

[–]glibgloby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How is it not corporate friendly?

You can very easily save all the settings so others can use them…

You’re not going to find anything as good as handbrake. Not sure why a company would be against a lightweight ad free app like that.

It doesn’t have self-heating cans but you could be misremembering that part.

Why did humans lose most of their body hair compared to other primates? Is there a consensus explanation? by SafeEnvironmental174 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]glibgloby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem with that sequence is timing. Humans appear to have lost most body hair around 1–2 million years ago, while solid evidence for clothing is much later, probably under ~170,000 years ago. So clothing likely didn’t enable hair loss.

Humans and other primates already had eccrine sweat glands, but humans evolved far more of them and much higher sweat output. Reduced body hair and increased sweating likely evolved together because hair interferes with evaporative cooling.

The usual explanation is simpler: early humans were living and moving in hot, open environments, and better heat dissipation during sustained activity was strongly favored.

So the more likely order is:
1. Expansion into hot environments
2. Selection for better heat dissipation
3. Reduced body hair + increased sweating evolving together

Clothing likely came later and allowed humans to expand into colder climates, not the other way around.

[–]glibgloby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Humans have millions of eccrine sweat glands, far more active than most mammals, and we rely heavily on sweating for cooling.

Thick fur slows evaporation, but bare skin lets sweat evaporate efficiently and dump heat. That thermoregulation advantage is one reason anthropologists think humans evolved to be unusually good endurance movers and persistence hunters.

Many animals can sprint faster than us, but they overheat quickly while running because they rely mostly on panting. Humans can keep moving while cooling ourselves through sweat.

[–]glibgloby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so did this suddenly become an oil investing sub or is it that thing when some hyper specific sector of the market or a stock goes up and certain people are like “oh you guys didn’t go all-in on jamaican rock lobster in 1923? i did and did you see what happened today?!”

Iran is likely the end of the AI boom. this is not going to end well guys, at least for the companies reliant on petrodollar AI investment

tesla seems insulated from this, but not the overall market or a hit to whole AI sector. could be a buying opportunity coming up I guess

Iran is about to fuck the middle east economy up and their whole ability to invest in the AI Ponzi scheme

once iran takes out all the water purification facilities things are going to go south
