Yea if we keep going as we are is likely to get REAL cold up in Scandinavia in a few decades, somehow i doubt the population is gonna increase from that.

Barb: 2 come first, gooder!!

gotta say, not a huge fan of using obvious “AI” art to promote this.

Fair enough, thanks.

Is 500 really big enough to get a proper spread though? Iirc my statistics course (which i don’t all that well tbf) you need a pretty significant sample still, would think a few thousand at least

A high effort shitpost? That’s a rare gem that is.

And yet when Netflix was good the amount of people who pirated went down a ton. I was on that train. Just give me a service that isn’t outrageously expensive, has most of the content i want, and is more convenient than pirating and I’ll do it, as long as i have an income.

Ooh a double reference, fancy!

I can imagine it might be a tad difficult to produce processors on a nanometer scale if the entire building is shaking violently.

Presumably

Absolutely, but calling it a reference implies that it was intentional by the writer, which seems unlikely considering what he’s said about such things.

Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn’t like people ascribing such things to his writing. They’re just stories and should be treated as such.

Idk man, have you done the math on whether the universe expands yourself? Because i haven’t. I simply believe that the scientists who have aren’t lying to me, same as I believe that Jupiter is in fact a giant sphere of gas, because that’s what I’ve been told.

No one can verify all of science, so we must all trust that those who came before us got things right (unless we discover that they didn’t ofc).

Therefore, i believe in science.

Iirc, the problem with desalination is that it doesn’t actually produce salt, just a very salty water slurry. So for them to produce usable salt they’d have to dry it out or something. Not that that sounds like it would be particularly difficult, but it’s an extra step.

I feel like 80% of men weigh above that lol

Bluesky is the same, i essentially only use the “latest from follows” tab, which is just posts from people you follow in chronological order. So much better than whatever garbage the big ones tried to feed me until i quit.
