The railgun guy might have been having a giggle with you, but you gave him some actual numbers so I'll give you some actual math to go with them. Your biggest problem here isn't the launcher, it's the projectile. It's go

Well I'd recommend you get out there on a mountain with a trebuchet and try it, because you're certainly not convincing anyone in this thread so far.

>This is false and unimaginative. A good one will weigh about 5 pounds and not have moving parts to break. Ferment your own alcohol from plants you grow yourself. You can at least do that much, right?

Do you not understand your argument is exploring a made-up scenario where we're no longer an industrialized civilization where these things are manufactured cheaply by the billions? And if you INSIST on making everything completely low

Guns are already ~20-50% efficient at turning chemical energy into kinetic energy. If you're not using a direct chemical reaction for energy, then you're using a human which is a lot less energy-dense than a backpack full of ammo.

Look at it this way: The boiling point of ammonia is -33 C. Would you drink a jug of household cleaning ammonia just because it's been heated to +20C? But anyway, I don't think there's hazardous levels left after normal disti

I despise smartphones (and related), but they're really incredible hardware and software, I SHOULD like them, a lot. Imagine being a nerd in the 90s and getting access to this tiny computer running on 3 volts of battery power that&#x27

Probably the most obvious for this community is being very enthusiastic about technology but loathing anything with "smart" in the name. (I still use a flip phone and 15+ year old appliances) Similarly I grew up always enjoying vi

I think I will attempt to just eat the negative eggs because at least I recognize, and can define what both "negative" and "eggs" mean. Can't say the same for literally half the words in the OP's graph.

I think it should be hopefully obvious to everyone by now, that bashing your neurons with a bunch of chemicals during critical formative years always carries some risk of later consequences. That applies to alcohol and nicotine and HFCS a

Just saw this and tried logging in and got locked out, "please reset you password", but then the page fails to load after completing a captcha. So now I'm completely locked out? good job paypal.

I'll reply for both you and GPP, I don't know if this will personally affect any servers I use since they're not obviously adult, but I assume the slope will be slippery and if they're doing a faceID system now it will o

Wow, this is... kinda like the Noita engine but without the exploding yourself every 5 seconds. Probably going to spend the next several hours getting zero useful RL tasks done now, thanks again Neal.

It should go without saying but, *CANCEL YOUR NITRO SUBSCRIPTION NOW IF YOU'RE PAYING FOR ONE* (for whatever reason) This was just announced today and a flood of canceled payments within the next 24 hours are the easiest way to send a

I read the article and was disappointed that the full "word" got cut off, but I know that somewhere, there's a German out there who will post something even longer.

Mildly related, but I think this is a good time for our yearly moment of silence for Radioshack. The OLD Radioshack, obviously.

Your ancestors probably had plant-based cures like garlic or walnut hulls for the same infections. Modern medicine improved on the spectrum of parasites that can be treated but there's still some caveman-level stuff that works reliably

I found it pretty good as a standalone book, but what stuck me the most was this random interaction: I picked it up at a library discount sale, where they give you shopping bags and you can fill them up for a flat 10USD each. I was browsing

Question for both you and GPP; is this fear limited to real life depictions, or basically anything? E.g, if you ever played Skyrim or a game with spider-like enemies does it have the same effect as a real spider? Answers I've seen to t

Anyone find an actual link for the finished track? Credits are mentioned on his site and twitter but I didn't find it anywhere when searching for the artist names.

So...... was there ever a resolution with that persistent incompatibility in ROCm/certain AMD drivers and Cycles that made it impossible to render in almost every version of blender? As in, it literally doesn't even detect the GPU

The actual error bar of "typical time-to-infection", as per CDC guideline is 36 hours minimum. 24 is my generous amount of error factor in the most optimistic (or worst, if you're a human and not a tick) direction. So in othe

I got a ~1600 character reply from gpt, including spaces and it worked first shot dumping into an html doc. I think that probably fits ok in the limit? (If I missed something obvious feel free to tell me I'm an idiot)
