Now I want to play LEGO Racers again. I recently got LEGO 2K Drive from Humble Monthly but... It's not really the same...

Well, let's see...

Time in your local frame of reference slows down the closer you are to a gravitational force. This will give you the perception the rest of the universe is going much faster. However, you'd need a pretty strong gravitational force to notice any effect of it.

A black hole is one of the most powerful sources of gravity out there, but if you don't want to waste millions of years travelling to some far away celestial body, you can find an even stronger gravitational force much closer to home:

Your mum.

"Because" is spelled wrong.

Read books, read newspapers, chat on the land-line phone for hours.

Before the cliché of everyone being with their faces in smartphones there were clichés about husbands who do nothing but read newspapers all day, or teenage daughters that massively inflate the phone bill because she's talking with her friends for hours, or children with square eyes watching brain rotting cartoons all day.

No. My genius is so vast it boggles my own mind. Sometimes it scares me.

Welp... There goes physical media...

You are very much missing the point for the sake of a pedantic argument.

Someone else already perfectly illustrated the point in a comment below, so I guess I'm spared the effort.

Well let's see... 9 USD is about 62 DKK.

Honestly... Not bad. That's about the same price as a sharawma box here in Copenhagen, maybe even a little cheaper, depending on the quality. If I want to buy a burger from a food cart, just a single burger at the street food place near the Nørrebro shopping center, that'd be 85 to 90 DKK, which is about 13 USD for a burger.

The Iranian food stand sells food for 120 DKK per portion, or 16 USD. Pizzas in the neighborhood are between 90 and 110 DKK. A single durum shawarma is about 70 DKK. You get the idea.

Depending on the quality of the spaghetti, I'd go grab some regularly. Compared to what I'm used to, that's a pretty decent price.

Of course, McDonald's and Burger King are cheaper, but... That's just trash. Some real trash.

Unfortunately, when America farts we're all forced to smell it. America wants Europeans to stay out of American business, buts that's rather difficult to do when that country demands to be the center of attention.

Scandinavia has always been very left side, so it comes to low surprise to me that the left won the European election in Denmark, despite the right trend in the rest of Europe.

However, I will add that right wing Europe is still pretty left from America. Take Geert Wilders, the new guy from the Netherlands. The policies he wants to enact are stricter laws, more difficulty for immigrants, a stronger police force, street curfews for teenagers (real old man yells at cloud energy), and withdrawal from the climate agreement. All very right wing.

But... He also wants better funding for hospitals and schools, higher wages for nurses and teachers, more robust free healthcare system, hard caps and regulations on the increasing housing prices, more affordable housing, a more efficient and cost effective energy grid. If an American politician starts talking about these things they'll be called a communist!

Europe is far from being communist. XD

Really? Because every time the weather in Finland goes about 10°C I hear my Finnish friends complain like it's the apocalypse. XD I'm just glad Denmark is having a decent summer this year.

The choir. This is preaching to the choir.

It's very difficult to avoid comparing right wing America to fascists when they have this much of a problem with Maus.

The alleged skull of Mary Magdalene.

That's a really good quote.

Now wheeeeere have I seen this before.....? Hmmmmmmm...

Oh hey guys, I found the redneck.

Oh no, plenty bad happens here. Just that when comparing to the problems the US has... Yeah, it's a good reminder of how well everything works over here, despite the problems.

They're not delusions if things are actually better here.

There's nothing unearned about it. :)

Well well well. I thought Russia said the nazis were in Ukraine. Huh. Funny, that.

Oh no! One terrible corporation is saying the other terrible corporation is terrible!

Let me play a very sad tune on this really tiny violin I found.

I always torrent large FOSS projects where possible. It's faster and doesn't tax the servers of the project.

That's not piracy, though, so I'm not sure why it's being talked about here...

Imagine being a teenager and being against teenagers getting killed. What is this world coming to?

Sure it can. But that doesn't mean it is.

Oh I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find one or two nazis hiding anywhere, even if they don't identy as nazi or even know what it means.

But Russia, with its actions, have proven themselves to be an imperialist, nationalist, fascist piece of shit. And while both could be true, actions speak louder.

VSauce. They used to be THE shit years and years ago. Their content now has been... Rather sparce and uninteresting.

I don't mind content that takes a long time. Ahoy and Lemmino are great. But VSauce just became... Feeling like a waste of time.

Can't wait to start pirating cars.

Those ads in the early 2000s were prophetic. The answer is yes, by the way. Yes I would.

You Americans can do with a little less gun rights. Might actually be healthy.

Oh, that is after getting universal healthcare and better public transport first.

Maybe then America might become an actual developed country.

This was already proven at the height of Netflix, before streaming service hell.

Good thing that Lemmy is an open source federation, then. It's not like Spaz on Reddit, where one dude can ruin the whole damn thing for everyone with a few bad choices.

Don't fuck with Scandinavian worker rights. They WILL be protected and they DO have the power to eject a whole major corporation right out the country.

They do. Or at least, here in Europe they do. Seems rather absurd there'd be a place where they don't.

Half the time piped links won't work for me and the other half of the time the videos buffer incredibly slow.

I prefer it a great deal over iOS.

Of all thinks, why the fuck attack Blender!?

What, is Autodesk pissed at them for making an industry grade tool for free? I mean... I can't think of any reason why there'd be a motivation to attack Blender.

I'm STILL insulted. Portrait videos suck to look at.

So does this company actually HAVE a solid state battery or is this still all in concept?

Because we already know how amazing and good a solid state battery would be... When we finally get them. But the problem is actually getting them.

Unfortunately the article seems to be mostly talking about how good a solid state battery would be and not much at all on this startup actually having anything functional.
