yeah it was outright visible that the documentary was especially well-done because a potential IPO

lots and lots of biological systems are very well made

i’m not a fan of musk at all; however this is in the technology community because it’s a good technological breakthrough.

my guess is because it’s a vulnerable area (lots of soft tissue directly behind it) and so it makes sense that your body says “ugh, no” when something touches it.

eh, if aliens ever produce lab-grown humans, i think there’s a 99.9% chance they’ll have belly buttons too, guessing that they’re growing them in artificial wombs where the baby makes an umbilical cord.

i mean why would you do it any other way? maybe an infusion directly into the arm or sth …

I’m pretty sure that we cut the umbilical cord too short after a baby is leaving the mother’s womb.

The umbilical cord’s remnants kinda wraps inward into the body, and if it’s cut short, it makes a hole later. Leaving it a bit longer would mean that it stays rather flat or sth.

also cats apparently chew on their children’s umbilical cord after birth to sever them. which i think if pretty cool. so archaic.

which is why we need tax money being spent on the communal level. not the federal level. it’s the fed gov that spends it on the military, it’s the municipality that spends it on schools.

does anybody have any numbers on how many taxes he actually pays? (with sources pls)

yeah personally i would be fine if it could access anything but my own personal files / the OS installation.

thanks, i didn’t know that! i’ll keep it in mind.

the simple solution would be to put every game into a sandbox by default

thank you :)

I’m not sure. On Earth we have the geoid model which uses the ocean as a reference line. I’m not sure how they do it on mars but i assume it’s such that the average height is zero, in other words, if it’s positive on some locations, it needs to be negative at some other locations?

Everything is a mark twain quote.

– Mark Twain probably or sth idk

What matters is the effective exhaust velocity. For chemical rockets it’s 3 km/s. The article doesn’t seem to mention it?

On top of that, ion drive travel is notoriously slow. So it’s not good for human travel because you would need more life support system for the longer journey, including more food and water, which makes the rocket heavier and is thus undesirable. It would only be useful for cargo transport where it doesn’t matter whether it spends 6 months or 3 years in space.

lifting a 100g schoko 1 meter per second, on Earth

in space no because there’s no gravity, so lifting things doesn’t take energy, only acceleration does. too lazy to calculate now, the relation is simple but i’m lazy.

the article gets wilder the further in i go.

Zuck of all people is one of the dumbest most arrogant assholes in existence. It’s crazy that he doesn’t regularly forget how to breathe. Yet he’s an “infinillionaire” (gotta remember that word btw).
