I love sci-fi and I tired SG: Atlantis but the main character sucks so hard that it quickly became unwatchable. I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels this way.

No, because the dog would know that if someone says “red” they probably mean “black” or some shade of black, and “green” would mean “white” or some shade of white.

Sure, it wouldn’t be black. If it was a pure red (absolutely no other colours, just pure 100% red) then it wouldn’t have a colour to a dog. It would have a shade, and it certainly wouldn’t be absolutely pitch black but close enough. If, however, it’s not a pure red then it would appear yellow or blue as in the picture you posted.

Although, the dog could tell the difference between the swords. Dogs are blind to red which means pure red things are like an absence of any colour, so red would appear black. Dogs can see blue and yellow which combine to form green which to them would be all of the colours, and so it would appear white. I’m sure an anthropomorphic dog would understand that when humans say “green” they mean “white” and when humans say “red” they mean “black”.

My partner likes to listen to lofi music. Lately she’s been obsessed with Baldur’s Gate 3 so she plays a youtube video that’s 10 hours of the “down by the river” song and a campfire sound from BG3. We’ve also done a 10 hour Star Trek TNG bridge noises video before for awhile lol

Oh yeah I forgot about the teen numbers, but yeah still applies.

I wonder if others have some favourite posters that you they quite often?

For me, it’s @Stamets and ThePicardManuever but I’ve noticed a couple other prominent posters lately although their names haven’t stuck for me just yet.

Just so this discussion doesn’t devolve the same way, odd numbers are numbers that can’t be evenly divided by 2. So the only numbers that can be odd will all end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 - or “one”, “three”, “five”, “seven”, or “nine” all of which have an “e” in them.

So… This? https://pi.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=igd0eI1p6M8

There are considered to be 10 stages of genocide as described by Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_stages_of_genocide

The stages ramp up in severity until we’re at full gas chamber Nazi status by stage 9 and stage 10 is denying any crime occurred.

I’d say Israel and Palestine were already at like stage 6 before this, now it’s at like stage 8. It’s not clear if Israel actually plans on exterminating all Palestinians, but it sure seems like that’s where they’re leading things.

Probably a fair bit of pro-oil lobbying as well to get the hippies to protest nuclear for the environment instead of the oil industry.

That’s a fantastic video and more people need to watch it!

The biggest take away that people who don’t feel like watching should know is that 99% of all nuclear waste actually decays to a completely inert state in 31 years or less. Plus, the amount of nuclear fuel used in every nuclear plant in the entire world since the beginning is a tiny, tiny amount and only about 1% of that will be potentially dangerous longer than 31 years. The 1% of spent fuel that is dangerous long-term could easily be stored in probably just one single deep storage facility where it’s stored safely kilometers under the Earth’s crust in a geologically stable region forever.

Storage of nuclear waste is a solved problem. The only thing holding the experts back from doing the correct thing with nuclear waste is public perception and unfounded laws forbidding it because of propaganda and scare tactics. There has NEVER been a single incident relating to improper storage of nuclear materials. But there have been loads and loads of incidents involving improper storage of oil, gas, and coal materials.

Nuclear is so, so, SO much safer and cleaner than oil, gas, and coal.

You’re assuming that physics would be the same in every other universe. Physics works the way it does in our universe largely because of constants, but we don’t know why many of these constants exist and we probably never will. The idea of a god creating out universe seems like an obvious explanation, but more likely it’s survivor bias. Specifically, the idea that since we happen to live in a universe where everything is just right and so we look at that as a miracle and probably planned. In reality, it’s more likely that there are actually an infinite number of universes with different physics where life is impossible, but that means that even if less than 1% of all of those infinite universes is able to support life, there are still so, so many universes in which it was. Many of them being nearly identical to our own, and many of them being so strange and alien that we probably couldn’t even wrap our heads around the strangeness even if we had an eternity to study them.

My biggest concern with Epic is their insistence on kernel level anti-cheat which is just ridiculous overkill and probably being used as spyware let’s be honest. They have many ties to China’s Tencent which has a 40% stake in the company and is known to basically just be an extension of the Chinese government.

There’s also the very odd fact that just having the Epic Games Store open in the background will deplete your laptops battery life by up to 20%. Is it just horribly optimized and uses all that battery even when idling, or is it doing something nefarious in the background? We don’t know.

As for exclusives, they have bought exclusives that were mostly crowd funded from the start which is quite the kick in the teeth to the early investors that helped get the project off the ground. And there were even some exclusives that were already listed for pre-order through Steam, forcing everyone to need to get a refund.

Plus, any good will that they’ve purchased so far is just in service of making a good name for themselves. They’ve been losing around $400 million per year since 2019 just to bring in new users. They’re going to suddenly turn around and start being cut-throat as soon as they think they can.

They are not consumer friendly, they want to dictate trends in gaming. Valve is already the king of that throne and they’re fairly benevolent and have pushed trends that are good for gaming and consumers overall. I have serious doubt that Epic would be anywhere near as good for gaming as Valve has been if they should actually become profitable, and an industry leader. Especially when it’s projected that they won’t be profitable until 2027, which means they’ll need to recoup their investment of nearly $3.2 billion since 2019.

Oh wow! I wasn’t expecting them to go as cheap as $100. I’m definitely getting one then, thanks!

Where did you buy your 3d printer and how much does it generally cost to get one?

OP after shooting his favorite band

I personally love that these boys can still fully identify as men and use he/him pronouns while still exploring their personal styles and fashion choices. Men deserve the freedom to explore and be creative with their appearance. Being pretty shouldn’t be exclusive to women!

Egg - a transgender person that has yet to come out of their “shell”.

When a person first makes the realization that they might be transgender, it’s referred to as “cracking your egg” in the trans community.

Also, in popular culture it’s commonplace to say that a person who is in denial is “putting up walls”, so an egg is like a type of wall that completely surrounds you. Cracking your egg involves tearing down those walls.

You can. Just install them through WINE or Valve’s Proton compatibility tool.
