I know that if he said this it wouldn't catch headlines any more than any of the other crazy shit that flies from his hole

But did he actually talk about "East Germany"?

Nothing is too crazy, but that pushes the borders of "too crazy to have been said"

Gotcha, sorry my comprehension failed me.

I checked out (searched steam for) the highest rated game mentioned in your post, I'm not surprised it didn't get much press coverage, honestly it's probably better for that game to fly beneath the coverage radar.

Yup, the oligarchs want us to be reliant on AI because they'll be in control of the answers we seek while we will consider ourselves enlightened.

I think you missed a word in paragraph 4, "got press attention even though, in a lot of cases, they had a large player base" I believe you meant to add a negative before "got press attention", or got little press attention

He couldn't afford nine bucks?

That was my thought, nobody in their right mind (least of all paranoid rich people) would use a third party service that requires them to announce they're someone of value.

Going to doubt this one.

Trump is Putin's ally. America is not Trump.

Better than doing nothing while complaining about those who are trying to do things

Calling my Congress rep has done wonders in the past (was having trouble with my passport application, he got it worked out in hours after my struggling for a month), but he's already fighting the good fight on this issue, I've left him a note that he's kicking ass and to keep up the good fight.

It isn't useless, it just isn't effective in every situation, especially when your representatives are willfully ignorant of the damage they're doing. If they don't want to hear about it, and are getting inundated with the same message, they'll further cut off

I wonder how much circuitry and use input would be required to make everything you need to launch a rocket from minimal buildings/chests/user input.

I feel like you could bring in the 6 resources (water oil iron copper coal and stone) and have a series of if/then's changing the productions of assemblers, chemical labs and smelters (maybe science labs?) all the way past rocket

 

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

 

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

 
 

I'll probably check in again at 34 hours.

 

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder

 

I'm entirely new to sync, I feel like this will be common knowledge, but I went to expand a comment thread, it said "1/2 comments added" and the "view more (2)" button disappeared, it loaded 1 comment, but I'd be interested to see what that other comment was.

Thanks Lemmy-syncers

More info, just updated the app and the first thread I was trying to read showed both comments, but the second thread gave the same response, I was leaning towards "it's not showing deleted by creator" except it loaded 2/2 for one of the previous 1/2 threads.

 

Quite a fun game, and the price has never been better, I'm not sure how long it'll be free so grab it while your can. The "endless" universe games, and their spice, have never really caught on with me, but this one was very easy to pick up and play, especially with the heavy+medic+pyro team from the TF2 update.

Don't let this one go past you!

 

If you weren't a child in the 90s you may not have experienced this gem, now is your chance!

Rolling a d100 august 1st to pick a winner! Please choose your number, closest number selected gets it.

Also please feel free to add your name to the Kerbal space program giveaway that I left up while work tried to murder me. I'll pick a winner for that Sunday night.

 

Winner picked at random from the comments, good luck everyone!

 

Alright guys! I’m putting up 3 classic console games in three different threads with three different win conditions. All 3 winners will be selected around the same time Saturday, notified in thread and pm’d the key.

3rd entry condition is going to be how many "perfect" completion games do I have in my library? (Hint for constraint purposes, it's less than 50). First entry of each number has that number, duplicates don't get duplicate prizes.

Good luck everyone! Results posted in 45 hours!

To enter this competition please respond with respond with the minutes and seconds (xx:xx) of whichever YouTube music song plays next when I press random on my mega mix playlist (over 600 songs, first song over 2:00 and under 5 minutes, 5:00)

To enter this competition I'd like you to guess how many hours my wife's most played steam game has on it (it's going to be somewhere between 500 and 2000 hours, what is the answer? I don't know yet!)
