That's kind of epic
But how word you confirm this? Like you can't get to that speed? And even if it did break, wouldn't the scientific method kick in and we'd just revise our models?
This "living in a simulation" question appears to be our generation's version of the solipsism trap. Can't prove or disprove it.
Reddit sub references will be a hard habit to kick. Like hashtags ;)
Helle let in his one early goal. We might have to win 1-0
I think they might have a better grasp of the situation there than in other places :/
Chantel Kreviazuk has a hard task today.
Long lazy meandering answer.
My degree is in geophysics, so I'm somewhat professionally connected to the world of resources. So that's where I get that angle.
Physics, as a degree, is somewhat of the universal bullshit detector, since you learn to take what people say and run back-of-napkin math to figure out what is or isn't realistic. "Now hang on, that doesn't sound right... let me check..."
Aside from that, I'm also a fan of historical fiction, geopolitical games (EU4, etc.), and my spare time pursuits tend to send me down research rabbit holes, disentangling the fiction from reality. Largely for my own amusement. But it comes in handy on trivia night if the topic is the Teutonic Knights or something.
In grad school I'd hang out with the philosophers, geographers, and others that were asking large questions with beer in hand. "I'll buy you a beer if you can convince me the electron is real." was not a pickup line, but the start to several hours of liquored debate.
I've been known to be mildly politically active, and sort of on top of the pulse. But never an activist or anything. Observing and predicting is fun.
Today I was in Google Earth just looking at the continent of North America, looking at it as though I were the US playing a strategy game. The major areas of contention right now for the US are: Greenland, Panama, Mexico, and Canada. It's like he is establishing future boundaries at the edges of the continent -- like it is an affront that borders exist on it. Upon further contemplation, Canada is fucked if this is what they're doing. So I created !mapleresistance@lemmy.ca to start organizing -- maybe the space will grow organically.
But, no, I don't subscribe to higher end geopolitical info sources. That doesn't mean I eschew them either (ISW was particularly interesting at the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine). I just integrate or search for info when questions are interesting.
You're not wrong. I just like to point out the actual logical folly now and again so that people in the middle (if any are left) can see the folly.
I just saw Apocalyptica last night. That's Metallica on three Cellos... close enough?
Tritanium -- is what, a portmanteau of Tritium and Titanium? I guess there's three elements with anium in the endings... What if Tritanium is an alloy of those three! Uranium, Germanium, and Titanium.
Actually, it probably just sounded cool. ;)
Haven't turned anything in a while. Chips!
