Martin. He seems like a Martin to me.

Dang, not cool enough for whatever this list was for

One of my coworkers lives in Texas and frequently reports losing power in the middle of meetings. Don’t know if it’s true or just him trying to play it off. But he’ll drop from a call and reconnect on his phone every so often.

Connect let’s you choose whatever color you want

Roll

thank mr skeltal

Does 0 have a shorthand character as well?

Damn, I was hoping for the glowing eyes of a miata with popups demanding more oil

Thanks for this info dump, I’ll have to look further into all this. Mapping things is fun!

This is what I ended up doing. Keeps it in the older untarnished state, things still work fine. Telemetry hadn’t been added yet

My cat doesn’t care much for salmon. But he absolutely loves canned tuna

The game is over already!

Some people to through life living every day like it’s April 1st 💀

Holy crap this thread just made me check what the cost is for the RAM in my machine. Bought it for $220 2x32GB. That same pair is now over $1250

So there’s a lot of incorrect assumptions and outright wrong ideas of how quantum entanglement is going to be used in a quantum network, or even a quantum Internet.

A hard rule: information cannot be sent faster than the speed of light.

When news articles try to summarize quantum teleportation, they incorrectly imply that information is being transmitted instantly. Quantum entanglement is not intended to send information. It’s meant to act like a hash or checksum. The magic in it is it enables both sender and receiver to know that their communication has been tampered with.

It has further use with encryption, but again, it’s to facilitate the encryption. The information is still being transmitted as light through the fiber network.

Hazing has changed over the years it seems

And yet everything I said doesn’t contradict anything of what you said. So if I have zero credibility, then neither do you

Humans have been doing the whole sulfur dioxide thing for decades. In 2020 cargo ships began to use fuels with less sulfur in them to reduce sulfur dioxide output. The result, was a marked increase in sea surface temperatures because the aerosols used to help block some of the sunlight.

It’s arguable to call it geoengineering as that implies purposeful engineering is ongoing. Whereas we were literally just burning sulfur rich fuels for cargo ships.

The reason people associate it with chemtrails is because sulfur dioxide is touted as a key component in the exhaust trails left behind by aircraft. While there may be trace amounts of the stuff in jet exhaust, this is not purposeful geoengineering as it’s just a byproduct of fossil fuel use. A more visible one because it’s easy to look up in the sky and see planes leaving trails compared to seeing the faint haze left behind by cargo ships in the middle of the ocean.

Cloud seeding is a thing in very small regional efforts for promoting cloud cover and even rainfall. And these are purposefully done to achieve those two outcomes. Usually they’re done near dry places that have too much sun and not enough water. Despite some of these operations taking place, their effects are miniscule when compared to the scale of global operations that aren’t trying to purposefully do any geoengineering.

Damn sign me up.

Does it count if my truck’s check engine light came on but it got fixed because I figured out the gas cap wasn’t screwed on tight enough?
