Let me know when Roberts begs the others to stop taking massive gifts that look like bribes.

Is porn intake measured in sieverts or mW/cm² or what?

What level is considered safe?

Asking for a friend.

Apparently some people get sucked into jet engines twice. Enough that there's a medical code for Sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter: https://www.aapc.com/codes/icd-10-codes/V97.33XD

Seems like a case for r/selfawarewolves ... If that's a thing that still exists.

From my limited experience with laying up carbon fiber, I know there's the raw carbon fiber cloth and there's liquid resin that you spread into the cloth. It's also very common to see carbon fiber cloth that is "pre-impregnated" - the resin is already applied to the cloth. Everyone calls this "pre-preg".

So I've seen a lot of folks online scratching their heads about "how can carbon expire?" or "my carbon fiber (bike/boat/etc.) is N-years old, is it expired?" but I think the most likely thing to expire is the resin. Once the resin is cured it is much more stable.

Any materials folks or structures engineers who want step in and correct me, please do.

Just don't make it weird.

I rented a Bolt EV from Hertz once. The car was fine, but the charging stations in the area were mostly broken, or they required downloading an app and giving personal information to charge.

I got the feeling the charging networks are all about collecting government incentives and the sale of private information from subscribers, and not at all about service.

My new preferred rental car is no rental car at all.

It's a whole lifestyle makeover! 😆

I enjoyed the humor, but the OP did set a boundary of [serious].

So I guess what we are learning here is that setting boundaries is always going to provoke some people to break those boundaries out of spite.

I guess for each rep it comes down to whether they think the folks in their district will be upset more because they let the government grind to a halt or they colluded with Democrats.

I'm worried that in many districts, voters are so polarized that they would see working across the aisle as heresy. It's the same reason Jordan got 190ish votes publicly, but only 86 in a secret ballot.

Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.

I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.

I think commercial social media does a lot of subtle things to "drive engagement" that I don't think fediverse instances are doing. Like a sort of gamification of getting likes and followers and of course the algorithms that show us things that provoke our emotions.

Reading and participating here is a lot more relaxed feeling than I've had on profit-driven social media sites.

If you drive too far forward in a parking space and grind on the parking block, or someone dings your door, do you need an A&P to repair it?

Thanks for this fun thread. I think "nasal gazing" would be a good candidate for a list of eggcorns.

There seems to be precedent on Twitter 2019, but I refuse to add the link here.

I wondered if the weapon was a Taser or cattle prod... But it says "deadly weapon" so maybe it was some kind of custom supervillain lighting gun.⚡

The topic is standing

_

because of the legal concept known as standing, which holds that plaintiffs must have suffered harm or face an imminent injury traceable to the defendant

_

I'm surprised this isn't a named sort of cognitive bias. I think there's a related thing where we humans tend to cite external causes outside our control when we are unfortunate or make mistakes, and we tend to cite our own virtues when we are fortunate and successful.

Ohm my god, right‽

I think this is the Nature Communications article cited in the OP link:
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-39341-4

BYD has a factory in California where they make electric buses and commercial trucks.

The "key things to know"

1. SCOTUS decision expected this month
2. President's power to cancel debt is in question
3. The plaintiffs may not have standing

Someone here is seeing this xkcd for the first time just now...

I knew XMPP as Jabber, and I remember being delighted when I tested messages between my Jabber accounts and my Gmail account.

Long ago "drive" meant urging an animal to move forward. And "dialing" a phone number meant entering the "digits" by turning a rotary dial with your digits.

Words aren't as static as you seem to think.

Yes but when can we use ||spoilers||

Probably not a lot of examples of a composite pressure vessels imploding with humans inside, so even the expert speculation may be flawed for some unknown reason.

I'm genuinely curious what the maintenance costs really are. I'm also wondering about equitable ways to share that cost.

It's so wild to think that a star so close to us is dying just moments after we understood how stars die.

It would be more likely to be critically hit by an SUV or pick-up, just saying.

We really need to tone down the fear mongering that is making so many people afraid to the point that they will kill in "wrong place" situations.

At what point do lawyers cite a SCOTUS decision as precident and their opposition is like "yeah but that's an Alito decision" and they're like "oh yeah, oops."

But also I can't help feeling sad because Twitter has been valuable for so many reasons to a lot of people.

Any reason to think Minneapolis Policy are an outlier? This seems typical of police all across USA.

Maybe this more of a misheard lyrics thing, but for a long time I thought "noxious gas" had to do with nitrogen oxides (NOx), and then spread to other metaphorical applications like "noxious weeds" and so on.

I agree with all of that. My intuition is that prior to curing, the polymers are less stable and may change in unpredictable ways depending on subtleties in the storage environment and handling. After curing, the polymers are much more stable and durable.

Metals definitely are more forgiving, and we have better tools for testing, especially non-destructive testing. Whether the CF flaws are due to fatigue or workmanship, it's easy to miss them in inspection.

I'm also curious what the sub designers saw as the advantage of CF for this application. Is light weight really all that advantageous for a submersible? Generally no one chooses CF if they are prioritizing cost.

I think most computer vision cameras are fairly low resolution, so I'm not expecting the hit-and-run vehicle will be identified.

What does "connected experiences" mean?

I think this is the original post:

I think all attempts to design a closed ecological system (on or off Earth) are likely to fail due to Gall's Law.

Instead, I think space habitats are going to gradually increase in autonomy from Earth over many iterations.
