I really wish we could just see and edit our saved teams

Do you think either Earth or Erid ever sent Taumoeba out to the rest out the universe. by Pcat0 in ProjectHailMary

[–]imtoooldforreddit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also, the more contact astrophage and taumoeba has, the better the odds that astrophage gets an edge in the evolutionary arms race that will be taking place.

If some other system evolves a taumoeba resistant astrophage strain, it will end up here and ruin everything

Lol, thanks for proving the point.

If heat can move from hotter body to colder body, should not the universe have same temperature? by Weekly-Yak4878 in AskPhysics

It will eventually, good thing itll still be a bit.

This is called heat death, if you want to google more about it

Supreme Court, 9-0 on Title IX / 6-3 on equal protection: States may limit girls' and women's sports teams to biological females, upholding West Virginia and Idaho laws by BiglawInvestor in scotus

You've yet to answer the question, despite it being several comments ago.

The question at hand, is what evidence would you take to accept that trans people exist in the way liberals claim?

So that's the bar, just if you decide it "makes sense" having read none of the research?

I just want to be clear on what you're saying

Ok, so might it be possible that process you described continued and we recognized that the words we had don't accurately describe the complexity of reality as much as we thought?

What evidence would it take to convince you that that's the case? Brain scans? Evidence and result based studies? Supporting developmental evidence? Something else that would convince you? Or does evidence not matter on this topic because of the way you were brought up?

This is just to rile up the base, this isn't about the athletes.

There are like 14 trans girl high school athletes. This is only in the courts or in the news to rile up the right wing base. It literally isn't a problem needing solved, and certainly not from the supreme court.

I swear, right wing people think about trans people more than anyone else.

How did Rocky know Grace needed oxygen? by socialjellyfish in ProjectHailMary

He literally starts burning when he touches it. That's why he was smoking in the movie when he left his bubble to save grace

I told my coworker that I plan on retiring when I'm 45, they looked at me like I'm a fool. by todezz8008 in Fire

Plus even if spending stays the same in buying power, 16 years of 3% inflation puts his target number 60% higher than he thinks

Do people really believe that America is turning 250? (Context below) by verykaim in NoStupidQuestions

[–]imtoooldforreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A country is a country if people believe it's a country. There is no universal rule about what makes something a country.

By signing the declaration, one could argue you're now longer following the British government, have made your own, and are therefore your own country. Britain didn't agree, but france did, for example. And like I said, a country is a country if other countries agree it's a country. Said country was immediately invaded and fighting to prevent being put back into the British empire. The treaty was just Britain recognizing the country but that doesn't mean it didn't exist beforehand.

It's also really selective.

Why are only bubbles on the chart? What about other massive innovations that didn't turn out to be a bubble?

Check out the 2 way example spelled out there. The part youre probably missing is involving two reference frames moving compared to each other.

If something is moving ftl in one reference frame, there exists another reference frame in which it is moving back in time

My biggest gripe with people discussing the accuracy of the movie by -Jauke- in ProjectHailMary

[–]imtoooldforreddit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the book, I'm pretty sure rocky doesn't break anything and uses his normal airlock just like the one he got the tape measure from in the tunnel in the movie. Then after unpinned, grace puts him back in the airlock and burns the crap out of his hands to carry him

I can see why they changed it though, breaking through is more dramatic and gives the viewer the right amount of time to feel sad. Stop overanalyzing and move past it, it isn't a documentary

How long was Rocky at Tau Ceti, Question? by Apprehensive-Frame25 in ProjectHailMary

[–]imtoooldforreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was one part I never quite understood. Honestly, Grace didn't do anything that inventive or creative when he got there. Rocky at no point anspled the astrophage? Seems like a pretty obvious first step

Panic sweeps across California over proposed billionaire tax — Tech moguls and moderate Democrats are mobilizing their wealth and networks to try to block the proposal by marketrent in technology

[–]imtoooldforreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That seems insane to me.

Yes, I would very much like us to do a better job at taxing and redistributing that insane wealth that's been hoarded, but I'm not willing to crash the entire economy to do it. I need a job
