Complex numbers, and a bunch more things too

Quantum mechanics still have endless ratios which aren't discrete. Especially ratios between stuff like wavelengths and more

How to train your Saab 35 Draken

‘Will I ever retire?’: millennials wonder what’s on the other side of middle age ( www.theguardian.com )

Claire*, 42, was always told: “Follow your dreams and the money will follow.” So that’s what she did. At 24, she opened a retail store with a friend in downtown Ottawa, Canada. She’d managed to save enough from a part-time government job during university to start the business without taking out a loan....

Are lawyers involved? You should sue to get it for free, not to pay more, because contracts like that usually put a penalty on the supplier if they break their promises

What's your spin here?

Natanael ,

Imagine somebody unleashing a flock of Wailords in a protest

Natanael ,

In lore pokemon can supposedly scale their size which is part of how the ball works (forcing them to miniaturize), but I don't recall any show ever showing unlimited resizing

Then you have to battle the cranky thing

And that scene where she can't pull in the non-accelerated astronaut colleague while still being in atmosphere thin enough that he wouldn't fall behind, so he just drifts away through magic

Not long ago Irishmen weren't considered white

No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections ( yle.fi )

Finland's results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party....

Natanael ,

The Swedish green party also kicked down our far right party down the ranks.

Because one or two trolls can be mocked, a whole instance will always only be trouble not worth the effort.

Natanael ,

Or instance admins can block and save their users the hassle

Natanael ,

He doesn't need to die of it, just get incapacitated enough that he can't participate. Let people see him as old and fragile. The people who need him to be a strong leader would lose their faith in him

Natanael ,

Depends on the kind of seat too. If they're thinner ones it's harder to avoid, especially if you're leaning forwards. It's not hard with normal wider seats for me, the actual reason I have a seat cushion for my bike is to protect my ass when the terrain is rough.

Natanael ,

There's only been a handful of survivors ever. Near total fatality rate

Natanael ,

Depends on how severe a bite is and where it happens! Deep and high up? You need the vaccine quickly. Minor scratch on your hand? It can wait a week

Natanael ,

It's really just the bad faith part that matters the most. Pushing your opinion is fine if you're honest with what your position is

Natanael ,

Post in good faith, and if you learn something you posted it's false then acknowledge and retract and stop posting that in the future. Seems like a reasonable set of rules

Natanael ,

Refusing to stop posting debunked claims is dishonest

Natanael ,

Ok, so if Biden is a puppy mill, is Trump the kill shelter?

And then this guy is PETA, working at kill shelters while posting negative stuff about puppy mills?

If your goal is to fuel a distorted view about the competing candidates then that is bad faith.

Natanael ,

Not acknowledging that loudness and volume shapes who gets heard is not how you reduce bias. You're only replacing one bias with another. If you let bad faith actors run free they will silence all others with volume alone, making it impossible to find and hear legitimate non-artificial opinions.

Natanael ,

Why not all the shit blaming him for what Republican congress members does?

Natanael ,

You don't understand propaganda do you?

Natanael ,

Why would I bother search through his account history now?

Natanael ,

Ok so I scrolled back line 2 weeks of the dudes history, and apparently he posts dozens of times per day and I can't be bothered to scroll further. Some dozen articles on polls blaming the admin for stuff they aren't responsible for, ignoring things they did do, and some article insinuating dementia, and a bunch of doomerism. There's probably better examples further back than 2 weeks, but I can't be bothered. Other people in this thread has given examples of stuff they've seen from him so maybe check for yourself

Natanael ,

The relevant permissions for these kinds of apps can still trigger background scans for wifi and Bluetooth even when turned off (except in airplane mode). You have to deny the permission to access location, etc, to prevent that.

Natanael ,

Both wifi and Bluetooth has better anonymity options now via randomized client IDs, etc, but yeah I'd also like to see even better protocols.

Instead of just using antenna arrays for MIMO to maximize throughput you could instead use the arrays to reduce the signal strength for most traffic below the noise floor (like GPS) to make tracking much much harder. But it does add a lot of complexity too, and would probably be bad for batteries (the receiving end needs more power).

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

Natanael ,

Instance admins could easily patch it in for their local communities (just add a filter ignoring API actions like posting and voting for some users), but it's not official and probably won't ever be official behavior

Natanael ,

Yeah, but who would be able to prove it?

Natanael ,

The last guy who got so obsessed with me over on reddit ended up permabanned after everybody got sick of them

Natanael ,

Curious that you didn't disprove anything I said, just a strawman you made up.

Where have I ever said I like the democratic party or that I think the majority of them are good?

I've said they're less bad, because they are less bad, and you keep denying the obvious.

I didn't call you a stalker, but it's curious you picked only one person to @ and picked me. Last guy got so unhinged he spammed my DMs for a few weeks. Your attitude is remarkably similar to his.

Natanael ,

Curious that you can do the math but then can't comprehend what the outcome means

Natanael ,

People who can't pay experiencing their creative work doesn't take anything away from them. Complain about the lack of funding for art instead

Natanael OP ,

How long will that rate of death last when they're also causing mass famine while controlling the borders? You know starvation can cause number of deaths across a population to skyrocket, right?

Natanael OP ,

Ok, this is newer if you want to do it that way

Are you once again expecting Biden to send the US military to enforce it?

Are you expecting Biden to send the US military to enforce actions like that? How else will he make it happen on ground controlled by Israeli security forces without permission from Israel?

He canceled the previous veto policy;

Has in fact already withheld weapons (yeah it should've been done earlier, but Trump is the kind of person who'd make a point of supplying more).

GOP, Trump's party, want to enforce continued weapon sales to Israel and prevent Biden from halting it

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-gop-pushes-israel-weapons-bill/story?id=110228315

Natanael OP ,

Even if Biden should do more, you're deliberately pretending Trump's record on this is unknown to be able to pretend they're the same. I know you know how bad he is, and you're lying about it.

Natanael OP ,

Are you Russian?

Natanael OP ,

Israel is capable of manufacturing bombs all of their own so it wouldn't have stopped anything. Yes he should have cut off weapons almost immediately, but you know perfectly well that the Trump who promised to ban Palestinians from USA and mass deport people would support Israel actively instead.

You are so focused on the details in rhetoric that you fail to observe both parties being the exact same in actions.

You're actively lying to yourself

Natanael OP ,

No I think they're in your room

Apparently they think they can cover everything but vehicles and ships, and they aren't losing nearly as many planes to their enemy as Russia has

Natanael OP ,

Can't see you here no
