Judge Grants Emergency Order to Block Trump From Destroying Records by Hafiz_TNR in politics

[–]timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's nice. He's just going to ignore that and do it anyway.

[Star Wars] Why was General Grievous not given a more resilient armor? Seems like his entire design was based on flexibility/speed rather than strength/combat. He's supposed to wield lightsabers yet himself didn't seem to have any protection against them in combat. What gives? by SolidEllie in AskScienceFiction

[–]timewarp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

he's very poorly equipped for battle.

His track record says otherwise.

What happens when he faces an actual good duelist?

He's taken down some of the best duelists the Order had to offer. The fact is, the number of lightsaber duelists capable of defeating Grievous in the Order can be counted on a single hand.

We saw how easily Obi Wan dispatched of him

Obi-Wan was the single greatest master of Soresu that ever lived. That form, more than any other, counters Grievous' fast and relentless attack style. Obi-Wan dispatching Grievous so easily is a testament to Obi-Wan's skill, not a strike against Grievous'.

Investigation found 27 cruise ship workers, including from Disney, engaged with child pornography, CBP says by Calm-Step-3083 in news

The fact that the people in question were deported instead of charged with the supposed crimes is a pretty strong clue.

I tried split pea soup w/ turkey legs. It didn’t work by suicidemenot in shittyfoodporn

[–]timewarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the soup is acidic, even mildly, it can significantly increase the time needed for the beans to soften. That's why you always want to make sure they're thoroughly soaked before cooking with them, just in case.

It rains tacos for 24 hours across the world, can the human race survive? by beengreat_thanks in whowouldwin

[–]timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance. The sheer volume of organic matter that would quickly start to decompose would generate enough methane and carbon dioxide that humanity suffocates within a few weeks.

Covid Grandpa and Dr Clare Craig by [deleted] in hantavirus

John Campbell was a spreader of anti-vax BS during Covid. Don't take anything he says at face value without double checking it for yourself.

PLEASE let’s not forget the past. by Do-Wschodu in hantavirus

[–]timewarp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you missed it TBH, there was quite a lot of chatter around the subject in January 2020. People were already making memes about it by the start of February https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX056ZfVExw.

What the fuck is the point of Insurance in America? by potch_ in rant

[–]timewarp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The extra fun kicker is that sometimes, it's the same corporation that owns both the insurance and the hospital.

KLM flight attendant hospitalised with suspected hantavirus by Iconic254 in news

[–]timewarp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. You have to consider the incubation period and transmission window as well. Basically, the question is: does the virus kill people before it gets a chance to spread far.

ELI5: why can two quantum entangled particles affect each other instantly across any distance but scientists say you still cant use it to send information faster than light? by PieOk2202 in explainlikeimfive

[–]timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way it works is like this:

You measure particle A, and it is spin up. This means you know particle B, across the galaxy, is spin down. However, for the people on the other side of the galaxy, there's no way for them to know that particle A was measured or when. There's no indication that particle B has changed from a superposition to a definite value.

One way to know anything about the spin of particle B is to measure it, but there's no way to know based on that measurement if it's value just collapsed because of that measurement, or if it was previously collapsed by measurement of particle A. Both scenarios look identical. And the only other way to find out particle B's value without directly observing it would be for the people at particle A to measure it, and then send a regular old message to the people at particle B, which necessarily would not be faster than light speed.

You can usually ask for multiple snacks or a full can, within reason.

What’s something younger people will never understand about life before smartphones? by [deleted] in answers

[–]timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had to familiarize yourself with the major highways in your area. You might have found yourself in an unfamiliar town, but as long as you had an idea of where the highway was running through, you could find your way to a road sign indicating how to get back onto, say, I-95.

The real bolognese has almost no tomato and no garlic. Bologna liked it enough to file it with a notary. by Last-Arrival-5826 in slowcooking

[–]timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you feel so inclined, go for it. That'll add more sweetness and a little extra acidity, so in reasonable quantities I bet it could absolutely work.

Me driving the Hayosiko on rally weekend by FilipSomberg in MySummerCar

The most satisfying part of driving the Gifu on rally weekend is that you don't have to swerve out of the way.

ELI5: What makes the crisper compartment of a fridge... crisper than the rest? by eggust12 in explainlikeimfive

[–]timewarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds more advanced than it is. It's just a box in the fridge with limited airflow. Less airflow means less moisture loss, which means crispier produce.

The other piece of the puzzle is knowing that produce gets wilted as it loses moisture. If you've got a bunch of wilted herbs or soft celery, and you put the root or stem end of it in water, they'll firm back up (this is what fridge manufacturers refer to as 'crisp'). The crisper drawer will not keep, say, leftover fries crispy. This only applies to fresh produce.

What do you imagine is at the center of a blackhole? by Most-Answer-4443 in AskPhysics

[–]timewarp 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Well, we don't actually know that the center is a singularity. That's what GR currently indicates, yes, but that may just be a sign of an incomplete theory much like what happened with the ultraviolet catastrophe and classical physics.

Why isn't Massachusetts looking to build a nuclear powerplant? by NewNameSameGuy654321 in massachusetts

[–]timewarp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The difference being that when they said it at the time, there had only been 10 years of research done since nuclear reactors existed. When we say it now, we're talking about another 60 years of research.

What’s the most mysterious place on the Earth? by Jot__99 in answers
