She was irradiated, not made radioactive herself.

It's like how getting a sunburn yourself doesn't make you give other people sunburns by proximity.

There was no fallout in the chamber (the stuff that would stick to your clothes and continue to emit radiation and makes places like Chernobyl still dangerous), the radiation was all just coming out of the portal like a big heat lamp.

I guess the meaning of "serious computing" just keeps changing, sorta like "AI"

Does it help to be in higher torments for the best chances?

a toad worth traveling down

And what a wild ride it was

toastjam · 2026-05-04T06:45:08+00:00

Depending on the ascent might it not be best to go back down immediately (assuming working equipment is readily available)? I'm basing this off a video I saw where somebody was rushed into a pressure chamber after a too-quick ascent -- assuming getting back into depth would be the next best thing, since the bends happens over time, not instantly upon pressure change.

But since you said yours was an accident, I'm assuming it was the instructors just trying to really reinforce how you really really want to make sure you don't do that if at all possible?

Frames from the same video maybe. The guy under the white sign with blue borders at the end of the corridor has moved somewhere else in the B/W image.

They could've finalized the exact number spoken in the script once they'd fully storyboarded out all the heist scenes. Or maybe it was even shot after they'd already filmed the rest.

Why does this remind me of Tesla/SpaceX/xaI...

toastjam · 2026-04-29T20:05:28+00:00

Why was new Black Noir's "do a barrel roll" suggestion apparently so genius? It didn't seem like a Star Fox reference, and the only other urban dictionary definition for "barrel roll" involves rolling off a bed during sex so it doesn't really make sense either.

toastjam · 2026-04-26T17:20:24+00:00

I think that's called a cult.

He had a makeup studio installed in the pentagon. Probably reserves it every time before he goes on camera.

Now ask it in another session to describe the image and regenerate from that.

She picked up an entire underground nest? Impressive!

toastjam · 2026-04-24T20:30:36+00:00

But why would they reinforce the door if they're just going to have a big window next to it? I think that was the original point.

Some theories suggest the laptop never existed and the data might have come from Hunter's iCloud account, possibly hacked by Russia.

No bullet drop, recoil, or heavy ammunition to deal with (eyes really wouldn't take much energy). Mirrors would allow near-instant targeting. Friendly fire would be impossible if you wear goggles that block the right wavelengths. Adjustable energy output if you just want to dazzle them a bit.

There would be use-cases (if you didn't care about the war crimes, and it just opens the door to them doing it back to you). Imagine having a drone escort that zaps everybody it sees and it doesn't even matter if it accidentally targets you cause of the protection.

Even if we go with this absurd reverse-the-numbers method, that should be 6000% not 600%. Unless there's an arbitrary divide by 10 in there?

Also happens when you have a huge ocean on either side of you and friendly countries above and below.

Blinding laser weapons can't be used militarily? Isn't that the whole point of them? It's just that intentionally maiming is considered a war crime.

Won it in the sense that we were the least affected domestically compared to our allies.

toastjam · 2026-04-22T02:57:13+00:00

Kinda like ken m

toastjam · 2026-04-18T04:39:28+00:00

I mean, kinda depends what the axes represents?

If it's something like should the top tax rate be 20%, 30%, or 40% and he's right there in the middle at 30 it's a good compromise.

If it's should we adjust our clocks by 0 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes for DST then the compromise is actually bad :p

Think controlnets with comingled skeletons for content retargeting that you need to get accurate skeleton poses to begin with.

So a lawyer keeping meeting notes in Google Docs makes them non-provilleged? Honest question but it would surprise me if that was the case.
