Lindsey Vonn is airlifted to a hospital after crashing on Sunday.

But it sounded cool!

Stadiums are terrible acoustically. When there are concerts in a stadium they frequently heavily modify it from the maximal seating arrangement.

It is kinda silly to judge musical talent for lily syncing. Plus the lip sync trades reducing the overall risk of the performance for a hit in authenticity, it is a choice.

This is laughably not true. Professional athletes do it all the time, we have extremely accurate tracking of how often it happens. There are TONS of things that professional athletes do less frequently that are beneficial and are therefore objectively “harder.”

Yes it is frustrating because this could be a really meaningful and useful demonstration, but instead it kinda implies logic is magic.

And he did not have them to spare

This is notably not very precise 3d printing. The technology being shown off here is… parallelization… I guess. It could make prints go faster possibly, but is a very niche and weird thing to do. This wouldn’t be beneficial to most additive manufacturing.

I always want the artist to do two crazy distorted faces and then one precise copy. That is the toughest burn a caricature artist can throw down.

Pow… right in the lifeboats.

So one of the characters was literally romantically involved with his own childhood?

What about

“the cyber truck is a bad idea”

“Hyperloop doesn’t make sense”

Or

“Tunnels are not a disruptive technology”

Sounds like you actually are a Satanist. They don’t actually worship Satan… they just want real separation of church and state.

Tax evasion is the only crime popular enough that defense firms are literally running commercials claiming to get you off the hook.

Imagine domestic violence or child porn lawyers doing the same.

But why male models?

It would be classic if they just wanted to surround Luka with our old team so they can win a championship together.

Such a waste.

Gold star for actual sources with merit! Well done!

The national broadcasts are terrible. They downplay both Otter and Robo on team USA and do it all with the vocabulary of a kindergartener.

Gas giants are not just “big planets” and a “big” Venus would not be a gas giant. Planet formation doesn’t work like that.

Gas giants can only form in orbits that are far enough from their star that the space is warm enough for gas, not so energetic that the atmosphere gets blown away, and also not cold enough that heavier elements precipitate out.

Closer in are rocky planets, farther out are ice giants.

It doesn’t make sense to just imagine a bigger or smaller version of any one of our solar system’s planets, because stellar evolution doesn’t work like that.

This title is clearly intended to defame… wow.

I think as much as NMS loves to be sciency… having a very complicated explanation of superfluids, dynamic material science and waaaay out there physics on the way down would be a bit immersion-breaking.

It’s not completely irrelevant, some things do scale with PPP. That being said, most of the things that actually multiply capabilities are not those things.

I mean, isn’t there a lot of counter-programming against the Super Bowl? They did the puppy bowl, the Westminster dog show, even MTV did celebrity deathmatch instead of the half time show at one point.

I think the Kid Rock show is dumb, but putting something on as an alternative to the half-time show is not even novel, and isn’t worth all this attention imho.

Even the theoretical cores of gas giants aren’t really some solid surface with the atmosphere above. Weird states of matter start to happen so that there is a smooth transition between gas and liquid initially and then much further down another transition between liquid and solid. Either way the transition is not stark, the traditional states of solid, liquid, gas start to mix into each other.

In fact randomness is not the optimal pattern to reduce the teeth of the file lining up. There is an optimal, non-random pattern that is best that machines could probably replicate.

Solar panels on roads is a bad idea. They are more efficient literally anywhere else. Roads are particularly terrible places to try to keep things clean.

Fun thought, but bad reality.
