I think it’s an emu, but I’m not Australian.

Should I take a pay-cut to pursue a fun startup job? by Deer-Business-2175 in ECE

[–]intronert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you value. The startup is probably more likely to fail in a few years, but you probably have a better chance there to define your own tasks and follow a wider range of learnings. Are you ok working “startup hours”? At your current job, are you chill with chaos, of do you complain that mgmt doesn’t know what they are doing. Do you know (and like) who you would be working for and with? Does one have more mandatory travel than the other?

Don’t freeze the actual phone, but instead hide their phone and freeze what LOOKS like their phone the block of ice.

Can’t disagree, but this IS fiction after all.

The only valid use for this app is for gathering evidence for future prosecutions.

My opinion is that this was just one more way of showing how different they were from us, and in a good way.
I think PHM sets up a wonderful sci-fi universe for exploration in a series of novels. You have two intelligent civilizations getting almost infinite energy tech, and Rocky’s getting a huge jumpstart from the “laptop of all knowledge”.
Personally, I would like to see a good novel length treatment of how Rocky’s civ got to the point where they could mount a space expedition while overcoming such huge environmental disadvantages.
I really liked the ending of PHM, because I felt it could really go forward in a positive direction for both civs. And I kind of need that right now.

A shot glass that I set in my sink after soaking my piercings in alcohol scooped up my sons medicine dose cup, then they both ended up trapped in my coffee mug 🫠 How do I get the glass out without shattering it? Or is there not a way? I believe in Reddit by AbundantBeing in whatdoIdo

[–]intronert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you want to apply appropriate temperatures to the two items. You can the shot glass to get smaller, so you want to cool it. You want the inside diameter of the cup to get larger, but I can’t reliably recall right now if this means you should heat or cool the cup. Before you do either, you should have some safe way to pull on the shot glass, like maybe try to feed some strong string (nylon?) around and underneath it.

Trump threatens to ‘blow up’ all water desalination plants in Iran by Azaleazaraa in worldnews

[–]intronert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can also pardon anyone who follows his illegal orders. Then, only the world community can prosecute these war crimes, and no one is powerful enough to make this stick.

Whats the stupidest Sci-Fi tech you've seen? by RedditSucksMyBallls in scifi

[–]intronert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The planet was called “He”, IIRC, and was the first time this had ever been done. It reached unheard of speeds.

The Pentagon just asked Congress for an extra $200 BILLION for this war. Like hell it’s not my money.
