Most animals with penises don’t have ones that work as effective shovels

Don’t forget a master switch between it and mains. Otherwise, line workers (and you) could get injured.

Bonus points if it auto-switches based on whether mains is available.

It counts if you use it to visit a website participating in stats collection. Maybe excluded if the device has a touchscreen and requests the mobile site (I haven’t used a Steam Deck and don’t know its default browser’s config)

This is true about cats’ radiation but we usually mean reflectivity when describing a cat’s color. This of course means there is a light source illuminating the cat and the wavelengths observed also depend on the properties of the light source.

Depends on their response to wavelengths at rest, including IR (for blueshift) and UV (for redshift).

Redshift doesn’t literally mean things appear red: the colors just remap, for example:

320 nm 🕶️ → 400 nm 🟪
400 nm 🟪 → 500 nm 🟩
500 nm 🟩 → 625 nm 🟧
625 nm 🟧 → 781 nm 💿 (IR, CD laser wavenength)

For easy calculation, I chose an exactly 25% increase in wavelength, achievable if the cat is receding at 25 % of the speed of light.

Or vice versa for blueshift. For example, a low-pressure sodium lamp in old street lights is near-monochromatic at 589 nm (pale yellow), which will reach 678nm red at 15% redshift, while a CD infrared laser incoming at the same 0.15𝑐 speed will have the same apparent red light at 678nm but because of blueshift.

TL;DR

🏳️‍🌈 ↓ Blueshift

🏳️‍🌈 ↑ Redshift

So I looked it up and the mass change is actually positive, about 1 part per billion per year. Not evaporation but adsorption.

Duh. Do you think they’d change the value significantly? But now it’s actually constant and changes to that piece of metal will change nothing.

The pound has been defined as 0.453 592 37 kg since 1959, having relied on the slightly evaporating Parisian etalon for 60 years. You have no moral high ground.

The kilogram is no longer defined as the mass of the Paris etalon. Now it’s defined so that Planck constant ℎ = 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ kg m²/s, where 1 s is 9 192 631 770 oscillations of ¹³³Cs and 1 m is how long light travels in 1/299 792 458 s in vacuum.

500M MT

Stacking metric prefixes. That’s how big the problem is. And a (metric) ton is a million grams. 500 Eg (exagrams) to 1 Zg (zettagram). You don’t get these numbers even with data volume! (edit: yes, on a global scale)

Edit: apparently “MT” is not metric megaton but metric ton. Fuck whoever abbreviates in non-standard ways. https://www.nayuki.io/page/common-mistakes-when-using-the-metric-system

It’s OK, she’s actually a 9000-year-old shapeshifting dragon.

That’s what a Periscope competitor (live streaming app) used to be called before Periscope bought it

Oh, so they were almost this bad originally…

Damn

The “adult for comparison” (light blue) seems quite different in each, even for 1960s hand-drawn diagrams (see source attribution; they would use transparencies, grid paper or pencil guides). Maybe vector “compression” (keeping only every 𝑛ᵗʰ vertex, perhaps fitting path in between to best resemble original) took place? I do that with potraced paths often but always check how the result looks.

At least you have an undeniable excuse why you can’t take calls and take 15-30 minutes to respond to texts.

I’m surprised they didn’t go online-only. Scholars of Economics also tend to have internet connection.

At least he temporarily lost some money and pride by wrecking his stupid uninsured penis compensator.

There are no Teams servers on Mars and the client will time out before radio signals can reach Earth. So any copies of Microsoft Teams on Mars are just a waste of storage space, and not very terrifying compared to “actual” malware that could be in the same storage space.

Don’t give him what he says his life goal is (die on Mars). It would be way more terrific if he died in a supercar crash (like the one he had in 2000 with Peter Thiel as passenger in a $1M McLaren F1, the fastest production car back then).
