Gonggong is named after a Chinese water god, and it does indeed have it's own ice. It's also red, covered in thiolins like Pluto, but even moreso. There's also likely a thin methane exosphere, leaving methane frost on windows.

Gonggong is very far out, moving between 33 and 101 AU over it's 554 year orbit. It orbits at a 30° inclination, so telescopes would pick up some interesting shots of the other planets poles.

The 1/30 g gravity is nothing special, plenty to jump around in, but enough to not fly away easily. It's slightly flattened by it's rotation, which is a nice 22 hours, much slower than other trans-neptunian bodies. This slow rotation is caused by tidal forces between it and it's moon Xiangilu.

Xiangilu is named for Gonggong's minister, a nine headed venomous snake monster. It orbits every 25 days, nearly exactly a month like Earth's moon, but in an eccentric orbit, changing size throut the month. Gonggong has a polar orientation like Uranus as well, leaving Xiangilu a constant half-moon in the dim sky half the year. Sadly eclipses would be very rare.

The trip out there is rather long, but once there it seems quite unique and cozy.

They're also incentivized to keep the same size packaging (both for logistical and public perveption reasons) and ship less product in those packages. People are willing to pay $6 for a big bag of chips, despite the big bag weighing 150g less than the normal bag 5 years ago.

They don't get paid by the gram, they get paid by the bag. A bigger bag looks more impressive, and thus can be sold for more. Same for those tall skinny beverage cans. They look bigger than the regular cans, but are actually 25ml smaller, and yet go for a similar price.

This will continue until the price per gram is what people look for (emphasis on this at the point of sale would help), or the mass of each product is standardized. 50g, 100g, 200g, 350g, 500g, 750g, and whole kg sizes only, none of this 489g nonsense.

Pluto is here, so minor planets count. That leaves at least Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Quaoar, Sedna, Ceres, Orcus, and Salacia as vacation candidates.

There are 19 more planetary-mass moons to consider as well, if orbital designation isn't important to your stay. (I'd say it's a bonus, as you can see some sick eclipses.)

That's true to a point. 50% gas by fill level is ridiculous though.

It's usually stored inside the key fob.

That's why a lot of us are here after all.

Don't forget plastics and pesticides! Those get everywhere, and many are bioavailable by design.

I've come across several sites with abhorrently short password limits, as low as 12.

Worse, 2 of them accepted the longer password, but only saves the first n characters, so you can't log in even with the correct password, untill you figure out the exact max length and truncate it manually.

Even worse, one of those sites was a school authentication site, but it accepted the full password online and only truncated the password on the work computer login. That took me an entire period to suss out.

Also, who's going to call them out on that? What court wouldn't throw that out immediately? And even if you did win, the company wouldn't even notice. You probably signed away the right to be part of a class action lawsuit in the Terms of Service anyway.

It might have something to do with the available elements.

We live in a population I star system, full of crap spewed out from long dead stars. Perhaps it is exactly this crap (like copper, iron, nickle, manganese, and possibly the bulk of carbon and nitrogen) that allow life to develop with enough agility to survive mass extiction events with any kind of complexity.

Or perhaps it's exactly those mass extiction events that have allowed enough breathing room for new paradigms to take hold. Maybe our 5-7 mass extictions that didn't end life entirely are exactly what is needed to prevent stagnation. We just happen to be on the edge of dead and too slow.

Mars used to be B tier, but it really fell off after the hypertsunami.

How do you expect cops and unfranchised criminals to circumvent a reality bender? I'd be more worried about the reasonable uses for guns, like flare guns, PAFS, harpoon guns, nail guns, and so on.

Not to mention that a lack of guns just means nightsticks and lead pipes become popular again.

Kelp farms? Domesticated bamboo? We need large areas of land to grow food anyway, we just skipped the charcoal agriculture step. Lathes and the three plate method are the real heroes of industry any way.

A slower ascension into the computing age could mean a more stable set of cultures and a more uniform global situation to avoid anthropogenic filters. Bright candles and all that.

This universe being unfriendly to interstellar and especially intergalactic travel would seriously hamper a galactic civilization, and thus be less likely for us to notice them.

There might be hundreds of civilizations out there, each having only expanded to a few dozen stars, not caring to go further. Even the makeup of the interstellar medium might be incredibly dangerous, basically necessitating generation ships to cross. Large scale expansion might simply be too hard.

And I will continue to assail your hill with; wet is a property that water has.

Wet is simply the surface tension balance of a substance. If a fluid sticks to somthing, it is wet. You can wet your brush, yes, but also wet a soldering iron, or wet every surface with superfluid. Wet refers to the conducting of fluid, capillary action, all the effects of surface tension adhering to something.

How wetting a substance is of another substance is usually measured by the angle a droplet makes upon contact. More sticky (adhesive) and less blobby (cohesive) means more wetting. Cohesion being simply self-adhesion means any fluid with surface tension necessarily totally wets itself, otherwise it's a gas. And since water is a cohesive liquid (with a rather strong surface tension), it is by definition wet.

It almost makes me think the higher ups got paid to kill Unity. All the C-suite got golden parachutes if they kill the project now.

Then I remember OGL and the fat lack of competition they had, and remember C-suite often don't know what they're actually in charge of. Malice vs stupidity and such.

It doesn't matter what the intent is here, the headline is misleading, which is poor journalist integrity. Both malice and ignorance can sink a ship.

I think his comment is reading way way too much into it. The comic is basically saying that "left" is willing to question authority, while "right" takes it as gospel and asks for more.

There's also the claim that criticising weath disparity while living in a very weath-centric system is somehow an endorsement of that weath-centric system.

Guy seems to just want to dump on the idea of left, so I'll leave a downvote and let him dump in peace.

Even easier, pick video lengths.

<1min, 1-10min, 10-30min, 30-60min, 60min+.

I'd use that all the time.

I'll just apologize in advance.

It is implied

Someone did the implying, and that's bad practice. You are correct that intent is irrelevant, yet you take issue with the headline being accused of intentional misinformation.

The thing about implications is that they exists regardless of your intent or your audience's comprehension. It doesn't matter if the headline is technically correct, if a significant portion of the audience leaves misinformed, that's poor jounalism. The extent to which this happens here edges into malpractice, either from ignorance or malice.

Since you take issue with the accusation, you either disagree with the claim of malice or the claim of misinformation; as you reject the former you must disagree that a headline that gives a drastically different interpretation of reality is misinformation. Am I wrong?

The best and brightest put them there because it made them more money. This problem won't go away until the system is changed.

USB stick with a browser installer or a portable installation.

Windows will probably gladly reinstall Edge via some update service.

BEDMAS: Bracket - Exponent - Divide - Multiply - Add - Subtract

PEMDAS: Parenthesis - Exponent - Multiply - Divide - Add - Subtract

Firstly, don't forget exponents come before multiply/divide. More importantly, neither defines wether implied multiplication is a multiply/divide operation or a bracketed operation.

My favorite reason is seeing women in roles not explicitly written for women. Either it helps me reframe what women can be (reframing being a great reason to read stories anyway) or it points out how hilariously coded those roles are.

My second favorite reason is about playing something I am not, and examining how that changes my outlook and decisions. It's the same reason I want to play as a robot, or an alien, or a golem, or a dwarf, or whatever else.

Lastly, but maybe most poignantly, is women tend to have more varied depictions than men. There are far too many depictions of men that are brutish, boisterous, and warlike, which I am extremely not, and usually don't have any want to play as. Games that give you a character creator are way better in this respect, and I'm much closer to 50/50 male/female characters in those.

They have a 99% market share on iPhone though. Google has less on Android.

An implication doesn't need to be directly conveyed, especially in a situation so small as a headline. Implication is often used in headlines to convey more information that explicitly stating everything, and especially to save on word count.

For example: "TITANIC SINKS, 1500 DIE" Purely by literal meaning: A big boat sank, and somewhere at somepoint, many people died of something. Odd to include that people have died before, that's just a fact of life, but the Titanic was carrying a lot of people, did they survive? Too bad the headline didn't say, I guess they don't know yet.

We could look even deeper and conclude that Biden rejected the possibility of a ceasefire specifically because the former staffers demands. I don't think he's that spiteful, so it would be an odd interpretation, but it would be fully grammatical correct. Sorry, I didn't make the .

As, because and since are conjunctions. As, because and since all introduce subordinate clauses. They connect the result of something with its reason.

As you were out, I left a message.

She may need some help as she's new.

So I don't see how a single definition rules out others, as several exist.

As a linux noob, I'd say it 90% there. I got a new computer recently, decided to only install linux to see if I could dump windows entirely, expecting to dualboot eventually. The only problems I've had so far are Curseforge, MC realms, and One Shot. I've got Modded Skyrim and modded Hollow Knight working, I'm incredibly happy with linux gaming.

Hard disagree. 0°F is colder than the pont it stopped being cool, but not yet really cold. 100°F is many degrees into dying of melting, but also a few degrees short of a fever worth noting.

I don't think I've ever seen either 0°F or 100°F used in any way to refer to actually temperature. It's always defining the scale or comparing to °C. Maybe once when checking for a fever.

On one hand, the archlinux bbs had the only exact reference to the issue I was having. On the other hand, no one could replicate it enough to figure anything out. :/

I usually call that flushing

Not great, sure, but I still have all my teeth.

I'm more of a "be the change you wish to see" kinda person. I'll neutralize my language to encourage others to do the same, eroding the banks of the river of language in the direction I wish it to go.

This is also why First Nations/Natives are known as Indians, and grow peppers.

Implicit multiplication being before regular multiplication/division is so we can write 2y/3x instead of (2y)/(3x). Without priority, 2y/3x becomes (2y÷3)•x.

Coefficients are widely used enough that mathematicians don't want to write parentheses around every single one. So implicit multiplication gets priority.

This is definitely the biggest concern. Somewhat short battery life is also significant.

Eh, the atmosphere is 70% nitrogen, making liquid nitrogen is basically just a suped up AC.

There are also various methods of simply filtering the nitrogen out of the air. Having on site machines doesn't seem too bad.

While I agree, Ranked is a solid improvement over FPTP.

EDIT: After some reading, I retract my statement, Ranked has a bunch of glaring flaws and can be worse sometimes. Still good that people are talking about it though.

Horsepower isn't a measure of how much power one horse can produce at any time, but rather over an entire day. It's roughly the number of horses an engine could replace running 24/7.

Running a horse at 15 horsepower would tire it out rather quickly, so you'd need many teams of horses rotated around to maintain 15 horsepower.

A normal winter started in October, maybe mid November, not early January. This was my first brown christmas, and that worries me.
