Yeah I personally took it as a weird meme and not a real ad
NUMBER GO UP 📈
Pretty much everything that’s not totally inert produces heat, but the point (they claim!) is that these newfangled doodads don’t generate power using that heat.
So far we’ve mainly been generating power with more and more ingenious ways of heating up water.
Ah, it happens.
One time when I was still with my ex partner I meant to text them “hey remember to buy some salt from the store” and I accidentally typed “you motherfucker you’ve ruined my life” instead
On a semi-related note, I was actually radioactive for a few days once, after I got my thyroid nuked.
What was cool was that it turned out that regular 'ol camera CCDs (like the one in your cell phone) can detect alpha particles, so I naturally pressed my phone to my neck in a dark room and got this video. Those tiny white “flashes” you see are actually all alpha particles (video in a spoiler block so it doesn’t take up half the screen at least on lemmy-ui):
I verified it by taking more video with the phone away from my body – no flashes!
Shutting it does shut you out though, at least until you unshut it.
Oh don’t worry, we’re working on fixing that. There may be life on Earth, but no intelligent life.
I wonder if you’re not thinking of the L.P.D.: Libertarian Police Department bit, because eg. the publicly funded sidewalk thing sounds very familiar:
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
Not anarchist though, but your description sounds like it’d match
The inconsequential typo really wasn’t what elicited my comment
Conservative masculinity:
Honestly the fact that anybody is attracted to men proves sexuality is not a choice
people still constantly bring him up, and even say his political views aren’t “that bad” on lichess during random broadcasts
Gee I wonder what kind of people would say that 🤔

Researchers have achieved data rates as high as 424Gbit/s across a 53-km turbulent free-space optical link using plasmonic modulators—devices that use special light waves called surface plasmon polaritons to control and change optical signals
This could be a line from Star Trek
They’re “depressed and despondent” because they judge comic movie fans? This is some prime Dr. Phil level psychology right here.
Far as Swift’s syntax goes, I really like argument labels too, but it’s just that there’s SO. MUCH. SYNTAX. Lots of sugar, yes, but sometimes that’s part of the problem in my opinion, because it often adds to the syntactic and semantic “noise.” Also, there’s 98 keywords (more if you count eg. try
, try!
and try?
as different keywords, and this count is missing eg. sending
and other new keywords) – compare this to say Rust’s or or Python’s 35. Java’s got 68, while C++ also has 98 and it’s notorious for having way too many of them. And then there’s all the symbols – some of which have different meanings in different contexts.
It’s true that ARC only applies to reference types, but even with value types you can often get some fairly surprising performance problems due to implicit copies, for example in getters and setters – and the _read
and _modify
accessors that can sometimes help with that due to returning (well, yield
ing) a borrowed value instead of a copy aren’t meant for “public” use (which doesn’t mean many libraries etc. don’t use them, much to the consternation of core devs).
Urr, I don’t think that’s it. I’m not sure stereo sound for vinyls has ever worked so that something like this would be necessary, and it wouldn’t really make sense – why would they have to put vocals on one channel and instruments on the other?
A stereo vinyl player just has the needle moving up and down in addition to left and right, so that the left-right axis is the sum of the waveforms of both channels and the up-down axis is the difference – which means that a regular mono player can play stereo vinyls
Would have cost you exactly 0 € to not be a cunt, but here you are.
I didn’t correct it because I was away from my computer for an extended period – the current version has a different image and is correctly attributed. I didn’t delete it because then the existing conversation in the comments would have also gotten nuked, exactly the same reason the mod didn’t delete it either.
Yeah, some real “DEBATE ME” energy here
