Yeah this should be up there with "stop, drop, and roll"

Don't do that.

Don't give me hope.

Absurdism in philosophy is "nothing matters"ism - see the exurb1a video above.

In art, though, absurdism is what you describe.

He's Mr Grinch, so it's at least his last name (and also explains him being THE Grinch who stole christmas). It's possible that it's also his job (see "Smith"), but prefer that grinching is named after him, a la Scrooge

Sounds like you need the 28 hour day!

I tried it once! and it was... weird. But at least you'll know when your waking hours are!

I imagine him looking like the Pringles guy

Thanks for posting the Besos interview!

Super interesting that they were already hoovering up user data as fast as they could in '97 - half a gigabyte per day.

Not to rail you in the ass, but why isn't this making the perfect the enemy of the good?

The benefit to low-income families seems massive, and it's hard for me to accept that taxing revenue instead of profit is enough of a marginal negative to outweigh that benefit.

My pet theory is that it's a reaction to the couch fucker thing. The left made up and ran with a story, and this is them trying to do the same thing. Obvious problem being that it's racist, dangerous, and not funny, but that's the right for you.

And I was then double surprised that being inside the sun for a nanosecond would be so devastating!

  • 10^-5 J on the surface, when 5 J is needed for a burn
  • Surface of the sun is a few thousand degrees, inside is a few million

So like a jump off 10^3. No problem, should still be fine.

Not even remotely! I didn't look too close, but the equation he linked has temperature raised to the forth, so a temperature jump of 10^3 would result in 10^12 difference in energy.

Which would increase the 10^-5 J on the surface to 10^7 J. Which explains why you'd only have femtoseconds!

A real double whammy of unintuitive results.
