“All media” is a huge stretch.. legacy hyper regulated media maybe

I was in Zermatt last month and was unable to take the Gornegray Railway due to mechanical issues. Even Swiss trains have problems

If you look back through history this has been the case since at least the Cold War, though. All the proxy hot wars in the Cold War, for example, back when the world was bi-polar. Now it’s multipolar with similar proxy wars.

Yeah, definitely; they basically took all the best ideas and put them into sheets, so that regular users could just use them

It would be an incredible thing if you could build a device that emitted tiny black holes over and over and over again, just strip out horizontal lines of matter

tides are spaghettification , like what is theorized as you fall into a black hole. You’re stretched into an oblong shape by the fact that the stronger gravity at your feet accelerates faster than your head.

With water and surface tension the net result is an oblong oval ish shape

And the tides are basically a teeny tiny version, where the spherical earth water is squeezed to an oblong shape

Very, very, very few consumers even know what sideloading is

You escaped the infinite IKEA?

Which county in New Jersey?

Wait, you’re literally on your phone while your kids entertain you…?

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted—this is a fascinating read!

Yep, Democratic Party refused to do a real primary so he switched sides

if you lived in the Earth’s core (~6000k) the surface (~300k) would be a rounding error above absolute zero anyway

Just some rough physics..

Q = m c ΔT

m = mass of the crust (roughly 10^22 kg)

C = specific heat of crust (roughly 1000 J/kg·K)

ΔT = 1 K

Q = 10^25 joules would be needed to lower the earths crust by 1 degree K

About 10,000 years worth of today’s human energy consumption

What fees?

Venmo is essentially a stable coin

Not that shortly, the patient lived about two months.

But if this was something you could activate as needed..

In my opinion, the best thing to do would be for Quebec to start being a data center world hub. They have enough energy to power all the world’s data centers, and they would essentially be exporting their energy by way of offseting demand elsewhere.

ah, Quebec. So much energy but nobody can buy it!

Ontario can’t..

New England wants it but keeps hitting NIMBYism..

NY wants it but needs new infrastructure

Yeah, new england for example has high energy costs because of 1) a lack of local energy sources and 2) reluctance to build new gas pipelines.

This is some cool hacker stuff, but I imagine it’s against the terms of service

This is honestly why I love flying on spirit. No one has a carry-on bag so you just quickly board and de board at the end.

Why cherrypick May?

This could not be more wrong. Lena Khan is on an absolute antitrust bender.

I absolutely love the White Mountains and it’s what I miss most about living in New England. In my opinion the best day hike in the country is the Franconia Ridge trail

Is HSR the only infrastructure that matters?

Example?

I don’t think this is even remotely true.

Yep, this is also why gyms don’t charge you $5 per visit. Nobody would come. Even if it’s cheaper for the average person
