I thought this was all fairly automated at this point. Are we talking about running analysis programs locally or are we sitting there doing blink comparator style viewing?

Ctrl+tab is how I play “spot the difference” between pdfs in Adobe. If you’re every looking for minute differences to a document (or catch accidental changes), it’s a neat tip. Then you can tell your coworkers “this is how they found pluto” as you point to their mild text omission

Or that the site owners aren’t just two bit grifters

We are the descendents of the calories you couldn’t burn (are you gonna finish those fries?)

Emphasis on pea size. I don’t know the actual limit, but most soap is actually a problem in a washing machine. Laundry detergent is specifically non-sudsing. Dish soap puts you at risk of having a foamy mess to deal with.

They don’t. Rise at the equator is slightly more due to the same reason the Earth bulges at the equator: centripetal force. The already-elevated sea level plays into the gravitational baseline at sea level, so gravity is 0. 5% weaker there than at the poles. The tides are also typically more aggressive at the equator and will only get worse, since it’s in the plane of the moon’s orbit.

The rules say you’re going to be attacked. Surely, the victor will hold the land for decades. Why not try to take it now first before the rest of the planet is desperate?

If I get a ute as my next vehicle, I need this guy’s face in the window

Is this Civilization loaded with automatic peace treaties, soon to be followed by nukey Ghandi?

Fun fact, if anyone knows the game/meme but doesn’t know what happened: Ghandi was set to have the lowest level of aggression possible, but a modifier was able to reduce it further. The negative value then got interpreted as the maximum value for aggression.

Climate change make you a tasty target. You’ll be less affected than equatorial shores int terms of sea level rise and your climate is warming. Why do you think Greenland is being targeted by the US right now? Because the US military is planning for global warming across the globe.

We picked a Sleep Number because we have different firmness preferences and because I knew 3 couples at the time with a bit over 10 years of use at the time. The only complaint was one person has to air up every few weeks. It’s set to 100 and probably sags to 90 lol.

That being said, Lemmy, get the pitchforks. I wasn’t able to get a basic pump/controller, only the wifi-enabled “smart” pump. Paid $50 extra for a Bluetooth remote to not use their app. I don’t have it on the network. If the pump dies, fuck 'em. I’ll put a Schrader valve on the tube and get the tire inflator. If an RV thread is correct that 100 is 0.6psi and if my fuzzy math is correct, half a queen is the same total amount of air as a typical car tire. ~30x the volume but 1/50th the pressure

Are you saying they’re in sync? And the wavelength is that reliable?

Same, especially because I’m a frequent sky-looker but have to prepare any ride-along that all we’re going to see by eye is pale fuzzy blobs. All my camera is going to show you tonight is pale sprindly clouds. I think it’s neat as hell I can use some $150 binoculars to find interstellar objects, but many people are bored by the lack of Hubble-quality sights on tap. Like… Yes, and then sent a telescope to space in order to get those images.

That being said, I once had the opportunity to see the Orion nebula through a ~30" reflector at an Observatory, and damn. I got to eyeball about what my camera can do in a single frame with perfect tracking and settings.

As someone discovering their IQ might be room temperature, I forgot we were talking about room temperature. Maybe there’s arctic mushrooms to back me up? Or an ice fishing bathroom with the door left open

Damn, some commenters are just being rude. It’s not a ridiculous question and this is the community for it, even if it was, isn’t it? It’s no real stretch of the imagination to wonder why if phones have great cameras and tablets have good cameras, why don’t laptops offer anything close? I agree, the bulk of the laptop makes it awkward and the demand is low when “everyone” in the primary markets already have a camera phone in their pocket

unfortunately, the study included information about intensity of night time light but did not included information about the sources of light

So I guess it’s user-interpreted intensity

For heart attack, for example, compared with those in the darkest 50th percentile, those who experienced some nighttime light — in the 51st to 70th percentile — had a 20 percent increased risk of heart attack.

Those who experienced more light, in the 71st to 90th percentile, had a 27 percent increased risk.

And those who experienced the most nighttime light, in the 91st to 100th percentile, had a 47 percent higher risk.

Unless it’s -40

Yes, that would be one way to make it noticeable. If all land/sea floor lifted, gradually, 1.2km into the air, we wouldn’t see it. I also Flubbed the per-km increase of the ruler and edited it to correct the increase down to 20cm per km. So as far as our ability to tell things are 0.02% further, no mere mortal would recognize it. But with a lap band around the Earth, we’d definitely notice the new halo floating above us instead of being a tripping hazard.

That reminds me of a fun fact about how the increase in circumference does not care what your starting values are. If you wanted to wrap a rope around a soccer ball, then make the rope lift 1m above the surface of the ball all around, you’d do probably do the pid math like (pid2)-(pi*d1) :

3.140.022m=0.069m of rope around the ball
3.14(0.022+1+1)=6.349m of rope to float 1m above the ball
6.349-0.069=6.28m of extra rope

Then do it for the planet.

3.1440,000,000m=125,600,000. 00m of rope around the planet
3.14(40,000,000+1+1)=125,600,006.28m of rope to float 1m above the ground 125,600,006.28-125, 600,000= 6.28m of extra rope.

1m above, or 2m greater diameter, can just be fed directly into pid as derived from pi(d2-d1) since we know it’s a basic request to lift it 1m

I’ve seen many waterfalls over the years, but never really a Gorge waterfall such as this until a few weeks ago. I got there right after a well-below freezing cold snap, so it was surreal to see the snowy buildup on the water where the fall spray was re-precipitating. It gave a real Tomb Raider feel. I gotta find more gorges

Gorges

67% of the Earth’s mass is comprised of silicates in the mantle. Solid silicates have very low thermal coefficients of expansion, meaning they change volume very little in comparison to other compounds. So if the mantle was cooled and solidified to 0, then heated to 50, it’d have very little effect. It’d grow something like 0.02% in volume.

Being that the mantle is generally liquid, you’ll see a much larger effect from the initial cooling. But how much? I don’t know. Liquid rock isn’t present in mere mortal online calculators and my ability to dive into the material properties and manually calculate it is long gone from my head.

But “much” larger may not be significant to the human experience, given that 0.02% would be imperceptible as a baseline. If you had a 1km long solid silicon ruler, heating it from 0 to 50C would make it just (edit) 0.2m longer. A circumferential ruler reaching around the Earth along the equator would go from ~40,000km to 40,008km.

Edit: corrected 20m to 0.2m. Flubbed the percentage in the calculator as 0.02 (2%) instead of 0.0002 (0.02%). So really, really imperceptible to a human walking 1km

I take it the Switch/S2 has many non-Nintendo games shared with other consoles? Hard to search through 4,000 titles on Wikipedia to find them at random, but I did see they had one Assassin’s Creed (Odyssey) at the game’s launch. I never really had Nintendo systems and just associate them with exclusive Nintendo games.

I’m choosing to believe the Steam Machine will do more of the same for PC games. Maybe it won’t force optimization at launch, but I hope it maintains itself as a benchmark for builds and provides demand for optimization to a certain spec.
