I feel like Rice University missed an opportunity here.

Click-bait views and ad impressions. Why else is anything on the Internet?


Assuming similar input effort, a trebuchet is more durable and efficient. Better for throwing more CEOs while consuming fewer resources.


The volume doesn’t change. It’s still the same amount of CO2 in the same volume. There’s just more of the other gasses in that same volume.


Too many trees, but I agree it’s a beautiful, friendly city.


When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.


I’ve had way too many conversations with people that simply can’t comprehend how that works. “But then we’d have to do everything so much earlier, it would be dark all the time.” I try to explain that we’d still do everything at the same time of day, just call it something different, but they just can’t wrap their minds around that.


If your monkey dies, the dates were bad, not sure if it works for prunes though.
MAC is useless as a component of the security check. It’s trivial to change; either with a dongle, as you said, or in the network configuration of every major and minor OS.


It’s almost like the views of the population of an entire country can’t be distilled down to a single binary statement. 🤷♂️


Yes, the individual words have meanings, as words tend to do. Those words, in that order, form a NCIS, two people typing on the same keyboard, level word salad that has so little real world relevance that it tips soundly into the absurd.


This is how we found anything on reddit for most of its useful life. Its search was always garbage so we relied on Google to come up with usable results.


There’s that word again. “Heavy.” Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?


The way I understand it is that time itself is altered by gravity and/or velocity. So atomic decay that occurs on a very specific cadence in each reference frame will not occur simultaneously in 2 or more different reference frames that are not in the same gravity, moving at the same velocity. There’s even a measurable though very small difference in the passage of time between sea level and high mountains due to the difference in gravity. I’m leaving a lot out and there’s a bunch of math involved, but i think that’s mostly correct.


The State of Indiana tried to define it to 1 digit by law.

Thankfully, the bill was never passed.
How do I reliably tell an unlockable bootloader from just a carrier unlocked device that may still have a carrier firmware that prevents bootloader unlocking?
