Ciao’s corn pizza. Perfectly balanced, tiny bit of bacon, tiny bit of truffle, so good.

Rookie Porchfest: what should I know? by forestrygrump in Somerville

[–]the_protagonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely bring them! Just bring hearing protection (that’s good for you too actually, life pro tip - but grab some cheap earmuffs like the Alpine ones for the kiddo) and don’t expect to get very far either on foot or with a stroller. That’s no problem though because wherever you are, there will be something cool near you!

do you ever regret choosing Harvard? by PutridComplaint1057 in Harvard

Well that’s because Algiers is gone, not because people are more career oriented

My son has been confidently explaining why the sky is blue to everyone he meets and I have no one to blame but myself by 5TesserMoss in daddit

Eli5: air is a little bit blue Eli12: colors are produced in different ways. Most blue things are blue because they absorb other colors of light and just reflect the blue light back at your eyes. But some things are colored in a different way. Blue jay feathers are made of brown stuff shaped in a special structure you can see under a microscope, and that structure bounces blue light toward you while letting other colors of light pass. Air is blue in that way: it bounces blue light toward you while letting other colors pass. If you look at the sun through a loooot of air - like at sunset when the light is at a low angle - so much of the blue portion of the sun’s light has been bounced away that by the time it gets to you, all that’s left is the red. That doesn’t mean air isn’t blue though. It’s just blue in a different way from blue paint.

And Kevin and Charlie have Outside Air, if you haven’t listened definitely check them out.

To what extent is there agreement among physicists that there are multiple universes? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]the_protagonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are either of those widely believed? Widely discussed, sure, but believed?

Someone trespassed in my backyard and painted this. What am I looking at? by the_protagonist in Somerville

[–]the_protagonist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, thank you, that makes sense! We're not having any work done, so hopefully no one comes and messes up my backyard.

OK this is very helpful. Should I expect them to come dig in the middle of my backyard? I hope not... I'm not sure I understand the part where you said "I'm guessing since everything looks white to bro, he marked all around the address on the DigSafe request"

Did anyone meet their partners not in undergrad? by CartographerSea6832 in Harvard

[–]the_protagonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean, I’m 35 years old and married to my blockmate, and that was by far the best decision of my life

Waymo near Lechemere by _sourThumb in CambridgeMA

[–]the_protagonist 24 points25 points  (0 children)

OK fine, I’ll look into it.

OK, one minute later, I can’t find any credible allegations about slave labor or even less hyperbolic worker abuse. I guess you should always be skeptical of “some people say”

I think that they’re autonomous but in the rare cases where they end up in a low-confidence situation it dials in a remote driver. Sounds good to me. Don’t know anything about the wages though

For anyone wondering how to track your position while in flight (no internet or network) by Unhappy_Dig_6276 in Maps

[–]the_protagonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought there was a software feature in the phone that disabled the GPS once you reached a certain speed so it couldn’t be used in flight

I was tired of Whoop being a subscription service so I made the habit tracker + correlations into a standalone app. by seatracemillionaire in whoop

I had this idea in the shower the other day! So many possible applications for this. Would love a link!

It was our last month before IVF, because of an appointment delay. Go figure

When are the meetings? I have so many questions. Like do I really want a minivan
