  • No transuranics, no operations — you know, they take your element — there are some places, your oganesson leaves for school, comes back livermoriun. Okay? Without parental consent. At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens






  • It’s either a big whoops or intentional.

    Basic 9mm subs have about the same energy as standard loads. The most likely scenarios as I see:

    1. Really dirty/dry gun.
    2. They used a fixed mount instead of a booster. With tilting barrel pistols (most), you have to let the barrel float back a bit to unlock from the slide. You use a special mount called a booster to let this happen.
    3. They used heavier recoil springs to prevent the gun from cycling - this would help keep the suppressed gun quiet. Alternatively, they may have used something with a locking bolt, but the hand motions look like your typical slide action.



  • To be further pedantic, milk also has a different specific heat which would overcorrect for the density difference by about the same amount.

    The calorie is not an SI unit, it’s a cgs unit, and it isn’t coherent or order-of-ten with SI units.

    Furthermore, I’m not aware of any market where you can buy energy in calories. Most will be in terms of Wh, mass, or volume, none of which would be coherent or order-of-ten with calories.

    Except for food, I guess. But how much utility is there in knowing that you could almost pasteurize a liter of milk with a fun size snickers?

    Honestly? I think that equal treatment should be afforded regardless of gender. I also know that opinion is wildly unpopular, and so long as society expects unequal treatment there has to be hard conversations and hard decisions made to support those structures. You can’t have it both ways, and no amount of party-line fingers in your ears "wouldn’t you like to know"ing makes that go away.



  • So long as society feels it necessary to provide protections for women, the distinction has real consequences. Drawing a line anywhere is a tradeoff between inclusivity and effectiveness.

    Taking the party line “high ground” stance of either conclusive self-determination or dodging the question entirely is why this question is so effective.


  • Not really. I stayed at the Venetian last year, and my my room didn’t include the sphere view in either the features or as an upcharge. (The sphere is “part of” the Venetian, so they’d be the most likely to advertise rooms with a view.) Their room is quite a bit further than mine was. They may have paid for the strip view, but without specific advertising they probably would not be able to tell ahead of time if they’d have LOS on the sphere.
